Umatilla County Enlistments May Reduce Draft Appeals
About seven of forty six men drawn in Umatilla County’s draft have enlisted, potentially earning credit toward the county’s quota. Enlistees include Matt Vanderpool of Weston and Merle A Nelson of Welty, among others, with some joining the cavalry and hospital corps. The county board has not yet received the master list to issue call notices, and potential credit will depend on further enrollments before draft physicals.
