Selective Service Board Selects Man for First Call
The Howard County Local Board met Saturday the 23rd, and made
their selection of the man to be inducted into Selective Service
for the first call. The quota for Howard County on the first call
was one man and the selection was made from the list of
volunteers.
Five Volunteers
The five registrants who have volunteered and from which the
first quota was filled are: Virgil Lyle Barnes, Helmer
Arthur Anderson, Jimmie O’Pat, Robert John Burns and Manford
Eugene Anderson. Virgil Lyle Barnes being the first name
drawn for induction.
Advisory Board
An Advisory Board has been appointed to assist Registrants in
filling out their questionnaires and anyone desiring help will
appear before a member of the Board in their community. The
affidavit of the questionnaire may be completed by a Notary
Public, a member of the Advisory Board, a member of the Local
Board or the Clerk of the Local Board. All questionnaires must be
returned to the Board within five days after the date of mailing.
The Board will then classify the questionnaires and each
Registrant will receive notice of his classification after the
Board has determined his classification. Ninety- six Registrants
have now received a questionnaire and additional questionnaires
will be sent out until all Registrants have received a form. It
is required that questionnaires be sent to all Registrants even
though the county quota is met by Volunteers and Enlistments.
