One of the men in the older age
group. G. B. Burnen of Bethesda.

not drafted because he was in es-
sential work
I'm not doing essential work
now" he declared. and I'm ready
to go this time" He is a landscape
gardener.
Charles P. Lawson, 40. of Adams
town said he was too young to get
in the last war and thought he was
too old TO get in this one. But now
that he has been called he would
like to get crack at the enemy"
Others in the older age bracket
inducted were Arthur Paul German,
38, Rockville, and Benjamin N. ALL
mutt, 80, Of Rockville. who was des-

Circuit Judge Charles w. Wood
ward warned the men at Rockville
that you are going to enter the
most serious game you have ever
played"
The time has come" he said,
for this country to get tough. This
/ Nation is a peace-loving one and
hates war, but the American people
have never failed to show courage
and determination when they are
forced into a fight.
This is every mans battle.
Property and money will mean
nothing if we lose the war"
Each of the selectees received q
81 bill as gift from Mayor Douglas
