Evening Reflections on a Mother's Departure
A fragmented lyric recounts familiar faces fading as a mother calls weary children home at dusk. The poem wanders through memories of spring flowers, hopeful slopes, and a mountain watching the sun decline as night and sleep invite rest. The voice repeats a gentle plea to come weary and not shed tears, seeking reunion at daybreak.

Words of good advice handed out to Benedicts
Washington August 3 Local boards were instructed by Provost Marshal General Crowder that they may hold that a marriage recently consummated by a registrant after he has been called for examination does not create a status of dependency justifying immunity from conscription. The selective service law does not require discharges in all cases of technical legal dependency but only permits discharges where dependency makes a discharge advisable. Local boards should exercise this full discretion in cases where they are convinced unscrupulous persons have violated the principles of the selective service law in hope of escaping a duty.
