MANY CITIZENS
ASK EXEMPTION
F. J. Vandewall, registrar in
| Skagway for the military draft,
says that to date 56 men have
; registered in Skagway, and esti
mates there remain between 10
and 15 more to register. Of this
| number about 50 percent have
claimed exemption for various rea
sots.

are given credit for their Nation
al Guard and men already in the
