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.
I found these old documents of my Great Great Grandfather's. They were certificates of copyright for songs he wrote. I wish I knew what they sounded like.
1923 ca "5-1/4 x 3-1/8 - Okes Find Negri Junction with Ord River Walter Okes sitting on Right"
[KHS - This should be standing not sitting]
A returned WWI soldier, stockman named Walter Okes, discovered a "bituminous substance" in the bed of the Ord River close to the Ord and Negri junction. Okes had taken up Ningbing Station in ca 1909 and had sold to Billy Weaber and Julius Prior circa 1910. It is reputed that "Okes Find" had been located by him before WWI, but it was not until after the war that Okes made his find public.
A company was formed called the Okes-Durack Oil Company and drilling began at Ord River Station during 1923.

in most of the places i've worked and volunteered, i have to read the conflict of interest agreements, answer questiuons that show my understanding of these documents, and sign a statement swearing that i will abide by them, under penalty of dismissal and potential legal action against me by my employers. it's odd that the city does not or would not have similar measures in place - would anyone who works for the city care to comment?

"Alexander Haddow's research documents contain the story of his meticulous investigations into the ecology of mosquitoes and the diseases they spread, including Zika Virus. His records detail the innovative methods he pioneered and the holistic approach his research team took to investigating viruses, hoping to understand how they could be sustained in forest animals and lead to future outbreaks of disease in humans."

From my scrapbook journal. I love to journal ideas for pages so I can go back to them. I brainstorm, edit, list, label, doodle, draw, and all kinds of other fun stuff. Then I usually date them once I've scrapped each idea.

CAPTAIN'S SPEECH TO SHIP'S COMPANY OF H.M.S. "BATTLER" PRIOR TO LANDING AT SALERNO BAY, ITALY.
"I expect you have heard enough of my speeches by now. This is my final speech before the great operation timed to commence at 0330 tomorrow morning. That is the time when the first assault craft touch the sands in Salerno Bay - just south of Naples. Our first operation commences at 20 minutes before sunrise tomorrow when our first four aircraft are taking off for fighter protection for the landings. We shall continue throughout the day until sunset - a strenuous day but I know everyone will make it.
As I promised to you before, we are the Actors, with our young Fighter pilots the Stars, and the rest of us the Chorus. The stage is now set, all preliminaries are now over, and the curtain is about to go up. The audience is the world, and chief pride of place there goes undoubtedly to our Majesty King George VI, he sits in No.2 box. But in No.1 Box there sits the Greatest, and only God there is, and He will judge us on our performance tomorrow and the days to follow. He only expects each man to do his best - nothing more, and I feel completely confident that not a single one of us will be found wanting at this supreme moment of our lives.
I can do no better finally than quote the signal of the greatest sailor of all times - "ENGLAND EXPECTS EVERY MAN THIS DAY TO DO HIS DUTY" and I might add to that "WITH GOD'S HELP".
Good luck to us all and may we all meet again to celebrate a glorious victory in which "Battler" played her part.
We shall probably be slipping the two K.G.V. Battleships in the despatches, and then Force V (that is us) will proceed through the straits of Messina to our operating theatre, which is a square some 30 by 30 and some 30 to 40 miles off shore south of Naples. How long we remain there I cannot say, but it all depends on how long our Airborne Troops take to capture a very important aerodrome from which the Allies will then operate shore based Fisher patrols.
I believe we proceed to Gibraltar via Algiers on completion of the operation, but I cannot possibly tell you when that will be. That is all."-

Con motivo de los 50 años del inicio de la labor del Opus Dei en el Paraguay, se realizó un cálido acto de celebración en Asunción, con la asistencia de unas 450 personas.
Durante el evento, que tuvo lugar el 7 de abril en el Centro de Convenciones del Shopping Mariscal López de Asunción, se presentó el documental “San Josemaría y el Paraguay – testimonios”.
Estuvieron como panelistas el Vicario del Opus Dei en Paraguay, Pbro. Dr. Luis Caballero; el realizador del documental, Juan Martín Ezratty; y una periodista local, Patricia Lafuente, que brindó su testimonio sobre la positiva influencia de la Obra en su vida.
El P. Luis Caballero destacó la conveniencia de mostrar este cincuentenario con obras. Con ese objetivo se encargó la realización del video que, en 25 minutos, recoge testimonios personales de paraguayos de diversos ámbitos intercalados con fragmentos de la predicación de San Josemaría Escrivá. La cinta da a conocer también algunas de las numerosas labores sociales que impulsa el Opus Dei en Paraguay.
Juan Martín compartió con la audiencia algunas anécdotas de la producción. Ezratty, Licenciado en Comunicación por la Universidad Austral de Buenos Aires, especializado en Comunicación Audiovisual Corporativa, es el Propietario y director de la productora Dígito Identidad Visual, y ha realizado importantes trabajos entre los que se puede destacar a modo de ejemplo el documental “Francisco, un Papa entre la gente”.
Patricia Lafuente, por su parte, agradeció con emoción el ejemplo de vida de numerosas personas de la Obra a quienes fue conociendo durante los últimos 20 años y relató cómo, hace seis años, comenzó a frecuentar los medios de formación que se imparten en la Prelatura. Descubrió así un amplio horizonte de vida cristiana y actualmente es Cooperadora del Opus Dei.
La nota artística de la noche estuvo a cargo de la Sra. Teresa Vega de Vergara, quien ejecutó en arpa “Mis noches sin ti”. Teresa compartió con la audiencia la emoción sentida hace 20 años cuando ejecutó el arpa para San Josemaría.
El evento, de calidez familiar, sirvió de recordatorio de las valiosas enseñanzas de San Josemaría, que nos animan a buscar la unión con Dios en la vida cotidiana; y permitió apreciar algunos de los frutos en la sociedad paraguaya.
Fue posible comprobar cómo una fe genuina, encarnada en el trabajo, en la familia, en las relaciones sociales, mejora la vida de las personas y enriquece la cultura: es fuente de justicia, paz y desarrollo. Y es, sin duda, “un aporte importantísimo al bien común”, como señaló la presentadora del acto, la Sra. Lourdes Benítez de González.

Mehrangarh Fort (Hindi: मेहरानगढ़ का किला) (Sindhi: مهراڻ ڳڙهه), located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, is one of the largest forts in India. Built around 1460 by Rao Jodha, the fort is situated 125 m above the city and is enclosed by imposing thick walls. Inside its boundaries there are several palaces known for their intricate carvings and expansive courtyards. A winding road leads to and from the city below. The imprints of cannonball hits by attacking armies of Jaipur can still be seen on the second gate. To the left of the fort is the chhatri of Kirat Singh Soda, a soldier who fell on the spot defending the Mehrangarh fort.
There are seven gates, which include Jayapol (meaning 'victory'), built by Maharaja Man Singh to commemorate his victories over Jaipur and Bikaner armies. Fattehpol (also meaning 'victory') gate was built by Maharaja Ajit Singh to mark the defeat of the Mughals. The palm imprints upon these still attract much attention it is very proudes for rao rajputs.
Rao is brahmbhatt jagirdar clan of rao jodha. Rao is rajputs and in gujarat they calls "barot" and rao saheb.
The museum in the Mehrangarh fort is one of the most well-stocked museums in Rajasthan. In one section of the fort museum there is a selection of old royal palanquins, including the elaborate domed gilt Mahadol palanquin which was won in a battle from the Governor of Gujarat in 1730. The museum exhibits the heritage of the Rathores in arms, costumes, paintings and decorated period rooms.
HISTORY OF MEHRANGARH
Rao Jodha, the chief of the Rathore clan, is credited with the origin of Jodhpur in India. He founded Jodhpur in 1459 (Jodhpur was previously known as Marwar). He was one of Ranmal's 24 sons became the fifteenth Rathore ruler. One year after his accession to the throne, Jodha decided to move his capital to the safer location of Jodhpur, as the one thousand years old Mandore fort was no longer considered to provide sufficient security.
With the trusted aid of Rao Nara (son of Rao Samra), the Mewar forces were subdued at Mandore. With that, Rao Jodha gave Rao Nara the title of Diwan. With the help of Rao Nara, the foundation of the fort was laid on 1/ May 1459 by Jodha on a rocky hill 9 kilometres to the south of Mandore. This hill was known as Bhaurcheeria, the mountain of birds. According to legend to build the fort he had to displace the hill's sole human occupant, a hermit called Cheeria Nathji, the lord of birds. Upset at being forced to move Cheeria Nathji cursed Rao Jodha with "Jodha! May your citadel ever suffer a scarcity of water!". Rao Jodha managed to appease the hermit by building a house and a temple in the fort very near the cave the hermit had used for meditation, though only to the extent that even today the area is plagued by a drought every 3 to 4 years. Jodha then took an extreme measure to ensure that the new site proved propitious; he buried a man called "Raja Ram Meghwal" alive in the foundations. "Raja Ram Meghwal" was promised that in return his family would be looked after by the Rathores. To this day his descendants still live in Raj Bagh, "Raja Ram Meghwal's" Garden, an estate bequeathed them by Jodha.
Mehrangarh (etymology: 'Mihir' (Sanskrit) -sun or Sun-deity; 'garh' (Sanskrit)-fort; i.e.'Sun-fort'); according to Rajasthani language pronunciation conventions,'Mihirgarh' has changed to 'Mehrangarh'; the Sun-deity has been the chief deity of the Rathore dynasty. Though the fortress was originally started in 1459 by Rao Jodha, founder of Jodhpur, most of the fort which stands today dates from the period of Jaswant Singh of Marwar (1638–78). The fort is located at the centre of the city spreading over 5 kilometres on top of a high hill. Its walls, which are up to 36 metres high and 21 metres wide, protect some of the most beautiful and historic palaces in Rajasthan.
Entry to the fort is gained though a series of seven gates. The most famous of the gates are:
- Jai Pol ("Gate of Victory"), built by Maharaja Man Singh in 1806 to celebrate his victory in a war with Jaipur and Bikaner.
- Fateh Pol, built to celebrate a victory over the Mughals in 1707;
- Dedh Kamgra Pol, which still bears the scars of bombardment by cannonballs;
- Loha Pol, which is the final gate into the main part of the fort complex. Immediately to the left are the handprints (sati marks) of the ranis who in 1843 immolated themselves on the funeral pyre of their husband, Maharaja Man Singh.
Within the fort are several brilliantly crafted and decorated palaces. These include, Moti Mahal (Pearl Palace), Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), Sheesha Mahal (Mirror Palace), Sileh Khana and Daulat Khana. The museum houses a collection of palanquins, howdahs, royal cradles, miniatures, musical instruments, costumes and furniture. The ramparts of the fort house preserved old cannon (including the famous Kilkila), and provided a breath-taking view of the city.
GALLERIES IN MEHRANGARH MUSEUM
ELEPHANT´S HOWDAHS
The howdahs were a kind of two-compartment wooden seat (mostly covered with gold and silver embossed sheets), which were fastened onto the elephant's back. The front compartment, with more leg space and a raised protective metal sheet, was meant for kings or royalty, and the rear smaller one for a reliable bodyguard disguised as a fly-whisk attendant.
PALANQUINS
Palanquins were a popular means of travel and circumambulation for the ladies of the nobility up to the second quarter of the 20th century. They were also used by male nobility and royals on special occasions.
