Herald and Review Library: Photo of men reporting for compulsory military training; Article on back of photo; "Early this morning this group of 33 men left for Peoria where they were to be inducted today into the nation's armed forces. This contingent, from city draft board No. 2, was preceded yesterday morning by a group of 11 men taken from all three of the county's boards. Another group of 15 men from the city's No. 1 board will leave early tomorrow, while each board has issued a call for men to be sent June 29. By the end of the month approximately 167 men will have been sent from the county, with all the boards having had several calls-the No 1 board will have had six."
