Watervliet Board Calls Married Men for January Draft
The Watervliet Draft Board 346 will call 75 percent married men with families and 25 percent single men for the January draft, amid new legislation. For February the board expects fewer registrants, mainly single deferred students, and hopes to secure releases for men under 22 with occupational deferments. A screening and blood test for registrants is set today at City Hall under Dr. Hargely and Dr. Olien, with James D. in charge of auxiliary police assistance. Red Cross unit of Schuyler will fold surgical dressings at Jermain Memorial Church Sunday school rooms Tuesday from 9 am to 3:30 pm and 7 to 9:30 pm.
