Cyanide Bomb Merely
Pinches Steadman
Cliff Steadman, mail truck
driver between Palmer and Cop
per Center, was mistakenly re
ported seriously injured in a mi
nor accident at Leila Lake last
week. Mr. Steadman was not in
capacitated by the accident, in
which he discharged a cyanide
bomb while picking blueberries
near the lake.
The mail truck driver suffered
a bruised and blistered thumb.
The accident occurred when he
picked up the cyanide bomb to
examine it. He first kicked what
he thought was an extremely
large toadstool at his feet, and
when he failed to dislodge it, he
pulled it up to inspect it. The
pull discharged the bonlb, placed
there as a part of the Fish and
Wildlife Service battle against
wolves.

MOORE'S GARAGE
Draft Boards Must
Decide When Married
Men Be Re-Classified
Local draft boards now have
the responsibility of determining
whether a 1-A registrant, who re
ports his marriage after he is
classified, or after he has received
notice to report for his physical
examination, should be re-classi
fied, John L. McCormick, Selec
tive Service head for the terri
tory, announced this week.
If the local board decides that
the marriage does not justify a
change in classification, they have
the power to induct the registrant,
when his age group is called.
