Description

Prevented by religious belief from bearing arms or fighting, the Seventh Day Adventists are preparing to aid their county in wartime by caring for those who are wounded in battle. Young men from four Southwestern States, all eligible for the draft , have organized a medical cadet corps at Keene so they may do their duty as noncombatants whenever called. Seventh Day Adventists Sergeant J. B. Ross of Little Rock, Arkansas, left, and Private Norman J. Polk, Palestine, Texas, extreme right, receive a bit of coaching from elder C. B. Haynes, rear left, of Washington, general supervisor of the voluntary work, and elder E. J. Roy, area director for the Seventh Day Adventists. Sergeant Ross and Private Polk are wearing uniforms and sitting at a table while Elder Haynes and Elder Roy are wearing suits and ties and standing beside the table. Published in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram evening edition, January 3, 1941.
