are single men, while Mr.. Corwin is
married and has a family.

members of its staff through the
draft, and two others already had en-
listed, making five recruits drawn
from this one source. The Fisk Tire
Co, was hard hit, its manager, Ed
ward r. Proechel, being among the
| first drafted. while two other mem
bers of the force were drawn later.
Among well known business men
whose numbers were drawn are
Harry ]. Woodmansee, stationer;
