Walter Smith Returns Home.
Walter Smith, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Smith, of Conovertown, both
of whom have been in an invalid con
dition, who has been in training at
Wrightstown since the first contingent
of county conscripts arrived there. was
granted IN honorable discharge on ac-
count of dependent parents, last Mon
day, and returned home on Tuesday
afternoon.
Walter passed the physical eXami-
nation and was certified to the local
examining board at Mays Landing.
Misled by ill founded information, it
! is alleged, his claim for exemption on
account of dependent parents was de-
MED. An appeal was made to the dis
trict board, but that body sustained
the decision of the local board and
| Walter went to camp the first of last
month.
Familiar with the physical condition
and dependency of the parents, neigh
bors, relatives and friends of the fam
lily took up the matter and appealed
the case still higher, the aid of both
State and Federal officials being
sought. This procedure brought about
the desired result and an order was
issued by the higher authorities giving
him the right to return home.
