DRAFT MASTER SHEET
RECEIVED BY BANNER

The Banner has received from the
war department, through The Associ-
ated Press, one of the draft master
sheets. A comparison with the list
of the first 6S to be called up before
the local exemption board, shows that
list correct.
nesday that Donald Ridenour would be
eliminated from the first call, because
a correction was made which inserted
the Number $40 in place of his. This
is an error, as the substitution of the
Number $40 for the Number 5O7 is
made much further down the list.
