Correct Physical Defects Before Draft Examination, Collins Urges Selectees

"Consult your doctor and your dentist to correct any remediable physical defects before you are called for examination by your local boards," Brigadier General Vivian Collins, State Director of Selective Service, urged Florida registrants today. Calling to attention that statistics compiled by National Selective Service Headquarters show a high rate of rejections of registrants for remediable physical disabilities, the General suggested that registrants scheduled for military training should endeavor to fit themselves for acceptance not only as a patriotic duty in a period of national emergency, but also in the interest of public health as well as for their own personal well being. "Many of the men rejected by local boards," the director said, "are turned down because of defects which clearly are remediable. If registrants will consult their personal physicians they will have an opportunity to learn of their disabilities and have them corrected." Even though registrants are convinced that they will not be called by local boards for examination in the near future, General Collins declared, correction of their ailments now will go a long way toward improving their own lives and bettering the general health of this state. "It is not only a question of improving one's physical condition so that there will be a greater certainty of passing the local board and Army physical tests," he said. "Every man in Florida will better his own way of living and contribute a real service to the public health if he will take definite measures to have his disabilities corrected now." Personal physicians and dentists should be consulted by registrants, he advised, because they are in an excellent position to recommend the proper course of treatment and to advise the men where they should go for medical or dental treatment.
