Two Newton County war agen

Henry Odum, as chairman, this

It was pointed out that in many

However, it was stressed that
the recommendations of the War

The final selection of men for in

the Agricultural Board being to
merely aid men in placing the
true facts as to their status in the

(
A request last week by the Cov

; ton County men serving with the
armed forces was met with instant
response and many relatives have
turned in pictures but to date the
files are incomplete.
However, it is not too late to
bring or send the pictures to
the NEWS office. Here they will
be filed, along with the informa
tion as to name, address, and
other pertinent facts .until the
majority of the servicemen are
represented and then they will be
published in subsequent issues of
the NEWS.
Numerous persons have called
and requested information as to
the kind of pictures desired. It
is desirable that the pictures be
as clear as possible. Any size
can be used but the larger the
picture the better the reproduction
in the newspaper,
On page seven of this issue of
the NEWS a form will be found,
outlining the information desired
with each picture. If you haven’t
sent in the picture of your hus
band, brother, sweetheart or
friend, get one today, clip the
coupon and bring or send it to the
NEWS office.
