Mob paints dodger yellow in Illinois village clash

A mob of about two hundred men and boys seized Raymond J. McMahon in Tiskilwa and daubed him with yellow paint to label him a slacker for not registering under the selective service act. Sheriff O H Skoglund dispersed the crowd as McMahon sought refuge with his brother in law. McMahon's age was corrected after a church and county records check showed he was under 31. He registered under protest and gained deferred classification on agricultural grounds. A separate report notes a neighborhood card party for Red Cross funds at Mrs Walter Duke’s home, featuring euchre, prizes, and a brief Liberty Loan program. Approximately $25 was donated to the Red Cross.
