8 Volunteers
Eight of this number are volunteers, but are required to go through the
regular process of induction. They are: Philip Mon. who has enlisted in the
Seabees: Charles Moates in Class V-12 of the Navy; John Drees and Morris Ehen,
both in the Air Corps, and Wayne Harriott, Larimer Hanby, Arthur Behneman, and Carl
Shoemaker, volunteers for induction. This is the first time that a sizeable
part (9 men) of the call has been made up of married men - that is, men who
were married before the Selective Service Training Act of 1940, was passed and
have no children born prior to the fall of 1942. Carroll County is one of the
few counties in Iowa that has withheld the drafting of married men until this time.
The last four named in the list below are transfers to this board from other boards: Jack Encell, transferring
from Calhoun County Local Board No. 1, Grand Island, Nebraska; Walter W. Feld,
from Calhoun County Local Board No. 3, Battle Creek, Nebraska, Harley E. Stuhr,
from Los Angeles County Board No. 231, Los Angeles, California; and John R. Scanlan,
from Polk County Local Board No. 5 Des Moines, Iowa.
Frederick G. Winter, formerly of Carroll and a registrant of
this board called for induction, has requested transfer to the Cass County Local Board at Atlantic.
