December Call To Clear Rolls Of 20-45 Men
The December Selective Service call for local Draft Board One aims to clear the rolls of men aged 20 to 45 registered in the third registration who are classified 2A as available for immediate induction. The effort targets 30 to 45 year olds and may extend to the fifth registration to call 20 year olds. Farm labor deferments are being granted, and a group of men accepted for active service at Fort Meade will depart after a one week furlough shortened from 14 days.
