Thursday^ October 7, 1943 DRAFTING FATHERS WILL START SOPH Fathers of this community with pre-Pearl Harbor children will not be cabled by the local ■'selecti ve ser vice board before November, officials stated yesterday. It may be that heavy drafting of fathers will not begin until later. The October call for the 11th will not include any of this group, it is stated. The number* of 18-year-old youths registering on their birthdays is rela tively small, it is stated, and will make very little difference in the general draft picture. * _ The position of fathers in this draft picture has long been { obscure, the army saying fathers are needed and other factions saying drafting of fathers will not be necessary. Con gress icnal debate on the subject con tinues. The local board has completed in ventories of all registrants which will be forwarded to national headquar ters for compilation.

Jul ian Lake of Rock Hill, who was the guest speaker, brought with him Miss Jane Little and Miss Emily Dillard, students at Winthrop, Mrs. W. C. Twitty, and Miss Sara Hunter, Pres byterian student worked ai Winthrop, to attend the rally. So well did mem bers of the circles prepare to feed the guests that after supper boxes were sent to the girls from the church who are attending Winthrop. This thoughtfulness was greatly ap preciated, the girls have reported, since nothing tastes quite so good to a college students as a “box of food from home.” This column is in receipt of a let ter from CPL. HAROLD L. O’DELL, of Goldville, who has been overseas for a year serving with the marines 'in the south Pafific. “It is a little hard over here,” he writes, “but we, don’t mind as long as we get more Japs.” He also sent the following definition of a marine: “The United States marine is a military phenome non who looks like a soldier, talks like a sailor, fights like a wild cat, and thinks like a princess of the royal blood. Always a modest fellow, the marine describes himself as a soldier who can read and write.” OF THE ' i Bt TECHNICOLOR Starring NELSON EDDY, SUS ANNA FOSTER, CLAUD RAINES, with EDGAR BARRIER and LEO CARRILLO.
