Paul J Winter, Government Appeal Agent, A M Andrews, member of the Legal Advisory Board, and M J Wallrich of the Local Board are examining 50 men a day now with their dependents, who are classified in Class Four, to ascertain whether such persons have been properly classified, and if not to make their recommendations to the Board of re-classification.
We are satisfied that the committee is making an honest effort to get at the truth of classification of different registrants, and if anybody knows of persons whom they think are not properly classified they should make a written statement and sign the same, and send it to the committee showing wherein the parties have not been properly classified.

Many Leave This Week
Forty Young Men to Leave for Different School’s to Learn
Another call has been issued for about 40 young men, most of whom are to report this afternoon at 3 o’clock and the rest of them will report tomorrow at 4 o’clock. They will all learn some mechanical trade which will be useful to the government, which will be an excellent chance for the young men, giving every one of them a splendid trade, and even if they do not follow it after the war is over, it will be useful to them. While all hope that the wear will be over soon, and it now looks as though the Germans were going to be defeated in a short time, the war is going to be a blessing to thousands of young men throughout the nation, for the simple reason that it will give them an education and every one of them will return home better and broader men in every sense of the word than when they left home.

Draft Calls Cancelled Temporarily
Three hundred and sixty-two men were ready to entrain at Wausau early this week to go to camps, when the order came to send the men home. According to advices to the press, this does not mean for the men thus discharged a complete release from being subject to military call, but simply a stay in the working of the draft machinery on account of the armistice. Those from here and neighborhood who were among the 362 thus affected were Clarence Ed. Morton and Guyle Warner, of Eldron, Sammie Severson, of Galloway, Ole Larson, of Norrie, Paul Frank, of Eland, and Raymond Schultz and Frank Malzahn.

26 Nov 1918
The draft boards throughout the state have been informed to clean up their work by Dec 10, when all records must be completed. No more physical examinations will take place and what was a few months ago the busiest place in Shawano, will be closed for some time. No papers shall be withdrawn from the files; no access to the files shall be permitted except to members of the board or to the clerks. Dr. Cantwell has put in a great deal of time on the Shawano county local board and given much valuable services to the board. The other members now are P F Dolan and A S Larson of this city, Guy VanDoren of Birnamwood, and Paul Furhman of Bowler. Miss Beulah Whitehouse, the chief clerk, has been a very faithful assistant and has rendered valuable help to the board since it has been established.
