Remember this group? Most males would prefer to forget the draft boards which functioned during World War II. Upon them fell the heavy responsibility of selecting the men who comprised our armed forces during the war. This photo shows Draft Board No. 1 which served the north section of Muncie and was one of the four boards in the county. Left to right are Bennett Heath, Phillip McAbee and the late Lon Bracken, board members, and Fred Durham, clerk, who served the board throughout the war in that capacity.
