Draft Evaders May Prosper on Army Pay
Palm Beach County faces a potential windfall as it pays Viet Nam draft evaders the same as an Army private. A recruiter estimates a married private earns about 13 000 dollars, while the county previously dismissed evader Albert Garguilo from an 11 000 dollar engineering post amid protests. Nevin Nichols and Marian Wilson reflect on the recreation department during its 50th anniversary, with an open house at Ambroz Recreation Center today and a year of circus themed events planned.
