Other parts of the county were gathering at their public places to pay farewell tribute to the boys departing from their neighborhoods. During the fourth week in June, the entire community in the vicinity of Redington wasg devoting itself to a series of farewells and receptions, to Sherman Wilcox and Forrest Ridge, who were to leave their neighborhood for service with the June contingent.

A further reduction in the use of beef and sugar was named at this time.

The Food Administration and Council of Defence had incurred considerable expense and Mr. Bigelow acted as a committee and took up small collections in June to meet this.

Through the Summer The devotion of the activities of the community to the work, continued at the same tension throughout the summer. The June, 1918, drawing of those who had become twenty-one since 1918 resulted in the first five Morrill county boys to be drawn, being :

1. 10. Edwin Frans Peterson, Redington.

2. 29. Earnest Edward Cassidy, Bayard.

3. 17. Claude Egbert Buckner. Broadwater.

4. 4. Allan Barnhart Atkins, Bridgeport.

5. 28. Charles Israel Hoxworth. Yockey. Another large contingent was given a rousing

farewell at Essig hall on June 27th.

Rev. McDougall called the assembly to order and stated briefly the purpose of the meeting, bringing in a little story to indicate how the boys were going to "sit on the Kaiser."

The first number was a song by the Bridgeport borne guards under the leadership of Ed. Morris, and the guards were called back and required to respond to an encore.
