'158' To Be Discarded

The famed 1858, which was the first number selected by Presi- dent Roosevelt in the national lottery, determined which out side youths would be first to be called. In Alaska probably an- other number will call the first men into service.
 There are 24 local boards in Alaska with the Nome group be- ing designated as Local Board No. 6. Permanent organization of the Nome board was set up today with Clerk of the Court Amer Rydeen elected as chairman and A. Polet, secretary. Other mem bers of the board include J. Sid ney Rood, C. C. Tanner and o. s. Weaver.
 U. s. Marshal B. B. Mozee has been named appeal officer for the local board and Doctors Thomas Morcom and J. F. Judah the of- ficial examining physicians.
 Mrs. David Livingstone was ap pointed clerk of the board by the group, to take over her tasks i'm mediately. AS the only paid off, ficial in connection with the To- cal draft, Mrs. Livingstone will maintain an office in the jury room of the federal building where she will be on duty from goo a. m. until 500 p. m.
 First Induction About Oct. 15
 Although the lottery for the lottery for the draft will be held next month, first inductions into the service from the Territory will not take place until about Oct. 15, Mccormick stated. This date is not definietly set, how ever, he said. Neither has it been determined where the inductees will be sent for training when they become part of the United States armed force.
 Following the lottery question naires will be sent out by the To- cal boards to all of the registered men in order that they are drawn. These questionnaires must be filled out and returned to the board after the registrant has sworn to the facts contained therein before a notary public. It was particularly pointed out, however, that all notary publics are forbidden by law from ac- cepting payment for this service.
 To Determine Draftees
 After the questionnaires are re turned and the men have had their physical examinations, the board will classify them and de- stermine who is immediately el- .Igible for the draft and who should be deferred.
 \ MT. Mccormick expects to leave Nome next Monday.

Perfect Plans For Drawing Local Inductees

Alaska will have it's own draft drawing in Juneau sometime late next month John L. Mccormick, Territorial Director of the Selec- tive Service told the Nome draft board at meeting today.
 "The national lottery which sel ected No. 1858 as the first draft number, will be discarded in AL aska," he said, "in favor of our own drawing to be held in the latter part of July"
 Mccormick arrived in Nome today and met with the board to instruct them as to their duties in registering, classifying and draft ing men in the Nome vicinity be- tween the ages of 21 and 36.
 Cards Being Returned
 Registration cards, which were sent to Juneau following Nome's completion of its initial registra- tion have already been returned here.
 On arrival, all of the cards will be thoroughly shuffled and given serial numbers by the local board. These numbers will run consecutively and will be desig- hated for the different cards pure ly by chance. These numbers will only be serial numbers, MT. Me Cormick stressed. They will not be the order in which the men will be drafted.
 The draft or. order numbers will be determined by the lottery in Juneau. More numbers than there are registrations in the larg est draft board area will be plac- ed in large container. One mum Der will be drawn at a time, and the order in which the numbers are drawn from the container will determine the order in which the men of the Territory are drafted.

Mortgages Not

Land Sold to Third
Party Cleart

(By International News Service)
Lansing. Mich. Sept. Sins
AS the result of a state supreme
court decision, thousands OF par
cells of land sold at public auction
may revert to the state. land
board officials declared today.
The court ruled that those los
ing their land and then repur-
chasing 1t at scavenger sales are
liable for mortgages held against
property before sales began.
mo doubt some former own
ers will let their lands revert to
the state once more rather than
pay these old debts. Mortgages
on land that come back TO the
state for a second time will be
wiped out. Thus holders OF the
mortgages will be no better off
than they were before"
The court decision was penned
by Justice Emerson R. Boyles. 1t
held among other things that old
liens and mortgages on proper
ties bought at state auctions by
third parties are invalid.
