    48 FROM LOCAL BOARD LEAVE FOR ARMY-NAVY DUTY

    FORTY-ONE SELECTEES AND SEVEN VOLUNTEERS BEGIN ACTIVE DUTY

    Forty-eight men, which included seven volunteers, left last week for active duty in the army and navy following their seven-day furlough after being inducted into the service at Fort Benjamin Harrison.

    The local board has begun examination and reclassification of men without dependents who were married before the United States entered the war, according to Peter F. Hein, chairman of the board. Those who are not in "essential" work and without dependents are being examined first while those without dependents in "essential" work will be examined next.

    Men with children and who are not in "essential" work will be examined when all available men in the first two groups are taken.

Warren K. Simstad of Cedar Lake was listed with the army inductees.
