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.
