   Isabella county’s second selective service quota has been filled entirely by volunteers according to announcement of the local draft board.  Nineteen young men will leave here at 12:45 Monday, January 6 to report to Saginaw Induction station.

 

   This week has brought a full tide of volunteers, totaling around 30.  Last week 11 volunteers had been okayed by the medical examining board, and the remainder of the quota was filled this week from the more than adequate number of volunteers.  The group of 19 young men represents Isabella’s second quota of 18 youths and one replacement for the first group.

 

   The medical examining board lost member Dr. R. H. Strange this week when he resigned to become a member of the medical advisory board in Bay City.  Two new members of the local examining board, Dr. R. O. Northway and Dr. C. M. Baskerville have been notified by President Franklin Roosevelt of approval of their appointment to the local board.

 

   The Isabella draft board begins the new year with a full two and one-half months of activity to its credit.  The board has announced that 664 questionnaires have been sent out.  Four hundred seventy two registrants have been classified.

 

   Distribution in the various selective service classifications so far is as follows: 36 men in group 1A, available for general military service; 1 in 1B, available for limited service; 3 in 2A, deferred because of occupational status; 401 in group 3, having dependents; 14 in 4C, alien; 1 in 4D, conscientious objections, 1 in 4E, ministers; 15 in 4F, exempt by law or physically unfit for service.
