to home folks and to refrain from
commenting on the degree of training
which they have attained, their equip
ment, etc.

er than that of any district in this sec

ing sent to camp and no results having
at first been obtained by his parents
in gaining his exemption, they later
saw the value Of training to the youth
and permitted him to remain there.
That young man is James Savington,
of this city.
The other three now stand a chasce,
however, of escaping service or even
a trip to the camp through the new
system Of draft. All of them are fore
ed to fill out the questionnaires but in
each case they will be able to state
the error.
One Of the young men has already
rendered his QUESTIONABLE to the
