OUT OF THE PAST 75 years ago Registrants Accepted for Induction The following registrants have been accepted by various branches of the armed forces, according to information from the offi ce of the Grant County Local Board, Select Service: Marvin R. Simmons, Beech Creek Marine Corps. Paul R. Want, transfer to Walla Walla, formerly of Izee, Marine Corps. Don E. Helmick, John Day, Army. Dale H. Willey, John Day, Army. Robert L. Sweek, Portland, Marine Corps. The above named men were called in January; how- ever, this list of inductees was not released for publica- tion by the Local Board offi ce until this week. A pre-induc- tion physical examination call for February including quite a large number of married men was issued during the past week; however, this list was not available for publication, the attaches of the Local Board offi ce informing the reporter that the names of men called for induction would not be released for publication until after these men had received their pre-induction physical examinations and, only the name of those accepted would be included in the last submit- ted for publication. It is apparent that a change of some kind has or is tak- ing place in the Local Selec- tive Service Board set-up for Grant County, but no authen- tic information, at the pres- ent writing, as to the nature or extent of the change is avail- able, the reporter having been informed at the Local Board offi ce in Canyon City that this information could not be released from this offi ce but that it might be possible to get a release on this subject from the State Selective Service headquarters, Salem. If and when this release is issued, this paper hopes to be able to publish the same.
