Larimer County, CO



DISTRICT DOARD GRANTS ONLY FOUR APPEALS FROM LARIMER COUNTY



The board of exemption for district No. 2 which includes Larimer County has

passed on the list of exemptions which were reported up from the local board or

appealed by those interested in the cases.



A list of 21 men was submitted to the adjutant general and these men will be

held for service.  Only four claims were allowed.



The exemptions allowed are as follows:



Jacob Bostrom, Loveland; appealed on dependency grounds.

Kenneth M. Osborn, Loveland; discharged on industrial grounds.

Jake Greenwalt, Fort Collins; discharged on agricultural grounds.

Joseph L. Barrett, Wellington; discharged on agricultural grounds.



The 21 names certified for service are as follows:



Claude Clyde Donovan, Berthoud, Colo., made no claim.

Robin E. Halladay, Fort Collins; made no claim.

C. Bryce Talbot, Fort Collins; made no claim.

Benjamin Lewis Bevan, Fort Collins; appealed claim, dependency.

Edward Luzern Brown, Loveland; agricultural claim.

Samuel Luzern Street, Fort Collins; appealed claim, dependency.

E.E. Cunningham, Fort Collins; made no claim.

Charles M'Clelland Hall, Fort Collins; made no claim.

Floyd West, Fort Collins; made no claim.

Edwin Hugh Strachan, R.F.D., Fort Collins; made no claim.

Roe Hutchings, Berthoud; made no claim.

Ross Harrison Jacobs, Berthoud; made no claim.

Earl Guy Stonemetz, Wellington; made no claim.

William Kurry Duranow, R.F.D., Fort Collins; made no claim.

Wils James Simmons, Loveland; made no claim.

Peter James Gallagher, Fort Collins; agricultural claim.

Roy Frederick Garnick, Fort Collins; industrial claim.

Edward Watson, Masonville; agricultural claim.

Aaron Twite, Bellvue; agricultural claim.

John Steffan, Loveland; made no claim.

Jacob Grosskopf, Loveland; made no claim.



Provost Marshal John Evans has sent a letter to all local exemption boards and

to all county attorneys whose business it is to appeal claim cases on behalf of

the government, warning them that many abuses of exemption privileges had been

reported to him, and that these abuses must discontinue or no more persons would

be exempted because of dependencies.  The letter reads in part:



"Married men are not necessarily exempt, whether or not they have children; only

sons of widowed mothers are not necessarily exempt; sons of aged and infirm

parents are not necessarily exempt."



"We have been plainly advised from Washington that unless the regulations are

applied with more discrimination between meritorius and frivolous applications

for discharge, they will be amended and no discharges on the grounds of

dependent relatives will be permitted."
