Kohl Steam Engine
By Mrs. Willard Light
The call for old iron in the de-‘
fcnse program has taken a steami
engine, well known to everyone in
the Southeast Franklin vicinity. It
has been used for threshing power
for 24 consccutivc seasons until this
year. It was purchased from the
Port Huron Company in 1916 by
the late Edd Haley for $2100. Mr.
'Haley operated this machine until
his death in 1931 when it was sold
to Clyde Kohl who used it for 8
years.
On Thursday of last week it was
driven out on its own power, and
the whistle blown for the last time
before being wrecked with dyna-
mite by a wrecking company. This
engine weighed approximately 19
tons. Thus ends the career of one
of the very few remaining steamers
in the community.

High Sdhdol Educa-
tion Not Necessary
For Enlistment
“Secretary Knox of the Navy
Department has announced that
local communities are given credit
for each Naval recruit and‘that
local Selective Service quotas are
John
Pazour, head of the Linn Selective
Service Board No. 3, today.
Every young man who Joins the
Navy or Naval Reserve thus helps
to fill our local Selective Service
quota. Young men within Selec-
tive Service age limits who have
not been deferred would do well
to consider the opportunities the
Navy offers for specialized training
and advancement while serving
their country in its emergency.
The age limits for the regular
Navy are 17 to 31 and for the
Naval Reserve the limits are 17
to 50. All applicants under 21
require the written consent of their
parents or guardian.
In addition to explaining that
Navy cnlistments are credited
against the local Selective Service
quota, also that a high school edu»
cation is not necessary for accept—
ance by the Navy. Any ambitious
and patriotic young man of aver-
age mentality and good character
who meets physical and other rc~
Iquircments may be acceptable to
help man Uncle Sam’s new “two«
