reversed the decision of the
local board and placed the
farmer in lila, on the basis
of his marriage.
The draft board has fought
this decision and took it to the
highest appeal board in the ma
ton. They had also threatened
to resign as a group, if the de-
cision was not reversed.
Drafting of all young men in
the county had also been stopped
and for this reason, Noble county
will not furnish its quota of five
men today, May II.
However, the board will now
function as in the past and the
quota for June will be met.
There are three members on
the national appeal board and all
three voted to reverse the deci-
sion of the state board and up
hold the decision of the Noble
county board, since it was point
ed out they knew local conditions
better.
Since that time the state board
has reversed another decision of
the local board and this will also
be appealed to the national board
in Washington, D. c. This case
concerns a Caldwell farmer.
There will be no pre-induction
examination calls for this county
ain June.
Fred Lockmiller, Ralph Hicks
and Thomas Clark are members
of the local draft board.
