Scope and content
Harold C. Kirkendall (far left) raises his hand and swears to Mrs. W. B. Dickinson, Jr. that the information he has provided on his draft questionnaire is true and complete. On September 4, 1941, as a practical joke, the Tacoma Times sent Mr. Kirkendall and Kayo M. Erickson (center) to the Tacoma draft board offices in the Armory to file their draft questionnaires. Mr. Kirkendall and Mr. Erickson were in Tacoma as performers in the Rubin & Cherry Exposition, a traveling sideshow that featured dancers, midgets, glamorous girls and "20 rides." Kayo Erickson is believed to be the same Carl "Kayo" M. Erickson that appeared in the motion picture, "The Wizard of Oz." (T. Times 09-05-1941 p.1)
