Will Name List of Selects Soon
Both local draft boards began selecting 151 white men for general military service to be sent from Canton to Camp Sherman between October 7 and 11. The quotas are 86 for the north board and 65 for the south board, with the aim to clear older registrants from 1917 and 1918. The south board may fall short by three or four men, as several class one registrants have appealed deferred classifications. New registrants from the 18 to 45 group will be called after these selections, focusing on ages 19 20 and 32 36. A nationwide call for 24 000 colored men is expected to absorb most remaining class one registrants.
