Two young men, small in stature, reported to the Tacoma draft board offices in the State Armory on September 4, 1941. Harold C. Kirkendall, 23, responds to Mrs. W.B. Dickinson, Jr., while Kayo M. Erickson, 22, awaits his turn. It was all in good fun, however, as part of a prank played by the Tacoma Times newspaper. The two were actually entertainers appearing in the Rubin & Cherry Exposition, a traveling sideshow. (T.Times 9-5-41, p. 1)
