 He sailed for Panama and after spending g days in the Canal Zone as a mechanic at the Army Air Base, was injured and honorably discharged. He was advised at that time that it Was necessary for him to undergo an operation.
 His draft number was far down on tn elist and he might have claimed exemption because of the injury, but he chose to undergo the operation necessary to restore him to physical fitness. So yesterday he passed the physical exams in Hart ford and was inducted.
