Winkle Becomes First Draft Selectee in Springville
Wilbert Winkle 44, owner of The Fixit Shop, is called 1 A by his draft board. His wife Amy opposes the plan to run a shop in their home, and a newspaper photo features Winkle with front page bragging that he is proud to fight. The story follows his mixed feelings about war service and his support from neighbors, ending with a continuation tease.
