Herald and Review Photo: Compulsory Military Training Macon County Draftees standing on Court House Steps; Article on back of photo; "This group of selectees were scheduled to leave the city for Peoria medical examination center and induction into the U. S. Draft army this morning. Eighty-six men were to leave in two cars of an ITS train from the local station at 3:30 a.m. Many of this group might return within the next few days, either because they were rejected after examination or because they were granted a furlough after induction."
