Dear Mrs. Thompson; l have been
worried about a few things. Do you
think a married man who has four
small children and no money except
what he earns will be drafted?
MRS. w. NJ
Married men are drafted Just the
same as unmarried men. but they are
not likely to be called until almost
every other class OF men has been
taken. Married men who have in
comes large enough to support their
families, of course, will be drafted
early.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Have you any
new ideas about high school annual?
A READER.
It would be impossible to have new
ideas without knowing the size of
your class, the characteristics of the
students and the teachers, and having
q knowledge of the school activities.
Besides, your question is out of my
line-it concerns neither heart nor
home.
