No Kidding

Bricklayer Stanley Jamrozy, 38, obdurately refused to work in the Apriority industry to which Canada's National Selective Service bosses assigned him. Instead he got a job on a tobacco farm. In Oshawa, Ont., he was fined $25 as a slacker.

Indolent Harvey Raynor, 25 and usually horizontal, was willing to work, but only on his own unambitious terms. Sent to a coal company by N.S.S., he showed up some days at 10 a.m., some at 1 p.m., some not at all. Said he: "I just couldn't get up." In Hamilton, Ont., he got the stiffest sentence yet given an N.S.S. violator: a restful six months in jail.

For two years Canada has had on its books a national civilian-conscription law somewhat like the one that Franklin Roosevelt unsuccessfully asked Congress to enact in the U.S. At first timid enforcement weakened Canada's law. Now, apparently, N.S.S. officers are beginning to get tough.
