Bishop L. Watkins is one of the
recent volunteers for special service
for tho government. He volunteered
as timber cutter and was sent at
once to Vancouver Barracks, Wash
ington State. Mr.. watkins was a res
ident Of the, Westminster section of
Oconee. His was probably the long
est trip taken by any volunteer or
selective service man from this coun-
ty. He was furnished with lengthy
ticket and bunch Of 81 meal tick
cts to carry him through to his des-
tination. The board estimated that
1t would take him seven days to make
the trip. Before moving to the West
Minister section Watkins had lived in
the mountains. It Is doubtful If he
had ever travelled on the railroad be-
fore. 1t is understood that Watkins
was the only volunteer from this
state for this special service.
