PAGE EIGHT THE fOSWHEitBY SUN nun AY. DECEMBER 12, 1941 NEWBERRIES . .. . . . The first of this week, in fact, the entire week, found activities buz zing at the local draft boards in the Exchange Bank Building. The dec laration of war had varied effects on the Board’s some 4500 regis trants. The clerks were kept busy recording changes of addresses giv en both verbally and by mail. Changes in dependents were report ed—numerous recent marriages and increases in families. . . . And Newberry too had had volun teers as other places. One white fellow must have known the presi dent was going to ask for war. He walked into the office as the presi dent began his speech (all clerks hav ing their heads in the loud speaker of a radio) and insisted upon volun teering immediately. Complying with his rush request he was taken to the examining physician and was being examined while the president was still talking. . . . Another white would-be-soldier, a young looking lad, came in Mon day and expressed his desire to vol unteer his services but said he was WELLS THEATRE Thursday “CHEERS FOR MISS BISHOP” Martha Scott and Willian Gargan Added'—Disney Comedy Mat.: 9c & 25c Night 9c & 30c Friday and Saturday GENE AUTRY “RIDE TENDERFOOT, RIDE” Smiley Burnette & June Story DONALD DUCK Comedy and “King Of The Texas Rangers” with Singing Sammy Baugh Admission—9c & 25c all day Monday and Tuesday Season’s Most Delightful “YOU BELONG TO ME’ Barbara Stanwyck & Henry Fonda Added—NEWS and SHORT Mat.: 9c & 25c Night 9c & 30c Wednesday MAJOR BARBARA OPERA HOUSE Saturday OUTLAWS OF THE RIO GRANDE with TIM McCOY Added—DEVIL HORSE and Comedy Admission 9c and 20c Wednesday —BARGAIN DAY— “THE STORK PAYS OFF” not quite 21. He was told that his parents would have to sign a paper agreeing to his volunteering. But upon learning he was only 17, the clerk had to refuse his request alto gether. Selective Service takes no one under 18. The boy was disap pointed, saying he was certain he was not too young as he worked all day long at a hard job. . . . Another volunteer was ready and raring to go and when told he could not be sent before the Jan uary call which comes around the first of the new year, he said he was going to Columbia and volunteeer through the recruiting station and get in without delay. ... A class 3-A man reported say ing he wanted his classification changed and wanted to do his part in the Army. He explained that his family could make satisfactory ar rangements for support while be was in the service. . . . And the coloreds too have ex pressed their desire to defend the country. An envelope received Wed nesday morning bearing “Merry Xmas” on the outside contained the following letter: Dear Local Board: This is of this address. War is at hand now and thought I would write you all a few more lines asking you would you all please— please fix me up. I wont to enlist for the army again and if I cant get there could I in the Navy are the CC Camp. Please mam and please sir I do want to go. So write me right back this week and let me know something right away. So cordially yours. AUDITOR’S TAX NOTICE . . . And still they come. Wednesday morning found a bus load of men leaving for Columbia to have physi cal examinations. Many of that num ber stated intentions to the board clerks of joining the Navy or the Air Corps or reporting to an Army re cruiting station immediately upon learning if they passed their physi cal. They said they were not going to wait for their order number to come up but were going to enlist now. . . .
