Under Slide of Wiscon roal On June 18, 1942, I took the Civil Service examination for Junior- Stenographer along with several of my classmates, I had no idea of ever hearing from that test, but on July 10, I received notification to report for work in Washington, D C. on July 20, 1942. After getting over the shock of realizing exactly what had happened, I realized that here was my opportunity to get away from the small town which I thought at that time was the most awful place in the whole wide world. When I took that examination I had no intention of going away from home to work. I didn't think my parents would allow me to go so far away when I was still so young. I had just graduated from high school in June, 1942, and was 18 years old. 1 was soon to realize that I was not so far from home as many young le. There happened to be a friend of ours from the city of Washington visiting in our town when I receiv- ed that letter. so I went and had a Jong talk with her about Wash- | ington and the conditions there, Al- though living conditions were not s0 good, she encouraged me to take the opportunity afforded me. Then I had a talk with two of my former school teachers: one the dean of girls and the other a commercial teacher, They both thought it was a wonderful opportunity and that the experience would be invaluable to me, I was not quite so enthus- iastic about it, but nevertheless, 1 wrote to the Civil Service Commis- sion and told them that I could not come to work before August 1, 1942, I thought that would be the end of it, and that I would not hear from them again, but on August 1, 1042, I received another letter, asking me to report for work on August 7, 1042, which was also my birthday and a most opportune time to report for a new job. I had only a few days in which to make up my mind ex. actly what I was going to do and then get ready to leave At that time I was temporarily employed at the local draft board (Continued on page three-Second Section) an Crushed of Coa Bellefonte Boy To Wed Wisconsin Girl || MISS ELSIE T.
