Eighteen Men Called Up

75 Years Ago

Herald of April 5, 1945

Eighteen men were summoned from the Cove by the Blair county draft board for induction this Thursday. These had all passed their tests at a previous date and were given ten days notice to appear for induction. They were to leave from the county courthouse this morning.

The people of Martinsburg and nearby rural communities are showing much interest in the United National Clothing collection which is being conducted this month on a nation-wide scale.

A Cadet Flight group is planned as part of the local Civil Air Patrol. Cadets will be formed by boys from 15 to 18 years of age, or any one who is awaiting a call into the Army. However, those who join are not obligated in any way so far as the Army is concerned.

Cpl. Warren R. Fetter, who is serving somewhere in France at the present time, has been in the service over two years, having been inducted in Feb. 1943, following his enlistment the previous August. He is a Radio Technician Fifth Grade, and is qualified to operate an Army radio under any conditions.
