VOLUNTEERS READY TO GO
Draft Board Lists 17 Men Qualified For Next Call Feb. 28
Names of 17 volunteers who have passed physical examinations and will leave here Feb. 28 for training camp were released today by P. E. Hylton, clerk of the draft board. The quota for the February call is 20 men, and four volunteers are still to receive physical examination before they can be accepted. 2-1-41
Those who have been accepted are: James Jimmerson, route 4; Claud Bay, 804 North C street; Elmer Rogers, route 1, Oxford; Randal Walker, route 2; Delmar Wright, route 3; Raymond Ausmus, 123 North A street; Sam Nehring, 522 South Eighth street; William Morgan, 328 North First street; Verrell Ashburn, 819 South C street.
George Jesson, 108 North G street; Harold Carlson, route 4; Charlie Shipp, route 3; Joseph Rhodes, 328 North First street; Thomas Burris, 819 South E street; Norberto Juarez, 1408 North Eighth street, Ed Hylton, general delivery; Oscar Rowe, route 5, Winfield.
Another Test at Wichita
Three of the four boys who will be examined next week will be included in the quota of 20, if all pass the test. In the event all 20 volunteers pass here they will go to Wichita where another examination is given.
Should anyone be sent back from Wichita, owing to physical failure to pass examinations there, another trainee will be sent in his j place.
In the event the volunteers do not pass examinations the following boys are apt to be called since they are classified in class 1A: Charles Vermillion, Oliver Havens, Merle McKey, Arpha Roberts, Alvin Boyer, Harold Lowrie, Edward Schamahorn, Willard Trenary, Ernest Mason.
“Volunteers,” Hylton said, “will be pushed ahead of those in class 1A, and there is always a possibility that more men will offer their services before the board is compelled to draft men.”
Job Service Offered At the present time Hylton is occupied with the new employment service being offered in connection with the selective service program. Boys who are not employed at the time of their entry into the service may register with the United States Employment Service through the draft board, and during the year of training an attempt will be made to have a job for them when they have satisfactorily completed that military service.
The draft board will probably meet Thursday since questionnaires have been sent out each day and there will be several on
DISTRIBUTES BASKETS.
The Salvation Army Gives Food And Toys to The Poor.
The Salvation Army distributed 64 baskets of food to needy families of this city for Christmas dinners. In addition to the baskets, that organization served 446 Christmas dinners to the poor and transients.
Major Norberg reports over 400 toys were given to children who would have had none if the Salvation Army had not come to their aid. This work is done by the Salvation Army every year at this time.
There was an attendance of over 450 people for the cantata presented at the Citadel Christmas night. This fine cantata was excellently given.
ANOTHER CCC CALL.
Young Men Should Make Application For January Quota.
Another call for recruits for service in the civilian conservation corps was made by the county Welfare department Saturday. Enrollees of this county will be transported to Wichita for their physical examinations and assignments on January 14. 2-2-41
Application now are being received at the welfare offices in this city and in Winfield.
Both white and colored boys who are at least 17 years old and not over 23 years and 6 months old are eligible to apply for CCC enrollment.
Several new changes have been made governing CCC enrol lees. They will receive pay at camp at the rate of $30 a month the same as heretofore, but part of their earnings will be held back for them and paid when they are charged. Seven dollars a month will be credited to the boy’s account and when he is discharged the money will be paid to him
Each CCC boy is allowed $8 a month spending money. The remaining $15 out of his salary of $30 a month must be sent back home to dependents.
Cowley county’s last CCC quota was in October. There were 37 boys accepted then. It is expected that about that many may be accepted in the January quota.
Young men who have automobiles are advised there is no place for a privately-owned motor vehicle around a CCC camp as far as the enrollees are concerned. Any CCC youth who is found to have his own car around the camp or has it available while he is in camp is promptly discharged. At least one Cowley county young man learned this restriction is carried out.
