A CORRECTION
Since' publishing the list of delin
quents who failed to report to the
Local Board for physical examina
tion, attention has been called to the
fact that Hubert Clinton Scarboro,
whosojame was contained in the list
has been confined to. his home for the
last thirty months with rheumatism
and that he was unable to appear for
examination when ordered to do so.
The Board therefore takes pleasure
in making this correction.
