The list of names below is just a portion of
a lengthy inventory of numbers assigned to
Barry County men between the ages of 21 and
45 who had registered for the nation’s first
peacetime draft in the fall of 1940. In all,
2,287 names filled numerous columns and
several pages of the Oct. 31, 1940, Banner.
The numbers would be randomly drawn in
Washington, D.C., and the local draft board
and a physician would ensure that the men
whose names had been drawn were fit to
serve in the Armed Forces.
Whether reluctant or eager, six months
after they had registered, most of the men
were still waiting.
And, as time passed, the pool of mandatory
registrants grew. The June 26, 1941, Banner
reported that July 1 would bring the scheduled
registration for local men who had turned 21
since Oct. 16, 1940.
“Registration will be carried on in the
Council Chamber at Hastings Tuesday, July 1,
from 7 in the morning to 9 in the evening,” the
article noted. “Forms and material for
registration will be available.”
