During the 20th century, men of a certain age were required to register for Selective (military) Service with the federal government. When that was done, the government issued what people called a draft card, as seen here. Bill had to register for the draft, even at age 30 and 7 months. He was never called into military service.
I had never seen a Birchwood-Couderay address before. I thought Yarnell had a post office back then. At any rate, Yarnell is perhaps equidistant from Birchwood and Courderay. Hayward is the Sawyer County seat.

This long time abandoned service station is on the former A12 old Roman Road at Margaretting in Essex (UK).
The main road was bypassed here in around 1970 when I suspect trade would have rapidly declined but as far as I know it soldiered on into the 1980s. It briefly reopened as a hand car wash, but has been abandoned now for some considerable time.

Devon General's first batch of 25 Snoopies carried a red and silver livery shown here by 775 (D775 NDV) in Exmouth in February, 1988. Others of the batch were used at Teignmouth and Newton Abbot.
Earlier today, 11 November 2021, Greater Manchester Police's Chief Constable Stephen Watson was joined by Baroness Bev Hughes, Deputy Mayor for Policing, Crime, Criminal Justice and Fire, and family members of fallen colleagues for a remembrance service at Sedgley Park.
All those in attendance proudly stood together to remember colleagues who sadly lost their lives in the line of duty and all others who have died during conflicts throughout history.
The service was led by Reverend Charles Nevin and included moving readings before The Last Post sounded throughout the grounds of Sedgley.
Greater Manchester Police then fell silent for two minutes at 11am as colleagues across the force observed this moment of remembrance.
After the sounds of Reveille were played, the Act of Remembrance was completed with the words:
When you go home, tell them of us and say,
For your tomorrow, we gave our today.
public facilities are not so public and not much of a facility when locked tight under 'reduced service' which, as it happens, is a euphemism for 'closed.'
Anyone travelling the road beside Vancouver Island's Cowichan Bay will eventually see three, stone monuments beside the road where it bridges the Koksilah River.
Each monument is dedicated to the poet, Robert W. Service.
Here is the story relating to these monuments and why they were erected at this particular location:
"The poetry of Robert W. Service — involving characters such as Sam McGee and Dan McGrew — is most closely identified with the Canadian North, not Vancouver Island.
It’s important to remember, though, that the Bard of the Klondike got his first break in the pages of the Victoria Daily Colonist newspaper.
Service left Scotland for Canada in April 1896, stating that his destination was Victoria.
He worked on a farm in the Cowichan area that summer.
After taking the winter off, he worked for another farm in the summer of 1897 before heading to the southern United States.
He returned to Vancouver Island in 1899, and spent the next few years working on George Corfield’s ranch.
He became acquainted with Charles Gibbons, one of the editors of the Victoria Daily Colonist, and they talked about poetry.
Gibbons suggested that Service write poems for the newspaper.
A steady stream followed, most of them appearing in a regular poetry column named “Voices Grave and Gay.”
Service was identified at various times as Robert Service,Robert W. Service, or simply R.S.
The tag line on the poems usually identified his residence as well, making it easy to trace him as he moved around — from Corfield to Cowichan, Vancouver and Victoria.
Service came to Victoria in 1903 to work as a teller at the Bank of Commerce at Fort and Government. In the summer of 1904 he was transferred to Kamloops.
A few months later, the bank transferred him to theYukon.
In Whitehorse, and later in Dawson City, Service got serious about his writing.
With the publication of Songs of a Sourdough in 1907, he became an international celebrity — and a wealthy man to boot.
Service died in France in 1958 at the age of 84." — the Daily Colonist.
