Cakes St. will be one OF the first
Tacomans to go to Camp Lewis
Saturday, instead of Harry Nc
Cormack, as formerly announced.
Both men are in District No. 1.
Mccormack had appealed for
exemption on the ground that he
was needed to handle the postal
department in the Mccormack
Bros. store. and his appeal was
granted after the local board had
selected him as one of the two
men to leave for camp with the
first quota.
Anderson is "a years old and a

He resides with his parents. who
are partially dependent upon him
for support.

that they will not suffer during
