: ‘went West . a oovered in the second — of the century fis rl I one in 1050. He is rugged-looking, tanned, friendly. He's Cmdr. Louis B. Shackelford, No. 2 man in Indiana’'s Selective Service and among the Navy's first officers to work under unification. Fact is, the 40-year Evansville native was working harmoniously beside the Army for years before the word unification ever arose to plague the traditions of our fighting fleet, And in his job now at Ft. Harrison as Indiana Draft personnel officer, he's working in co-opera-tion with Army brass, civilians and state officials. One associate even went so far as to say: “I've never seen anybody so agreeable to work with as Shack.” And despite nerve-wracking aspects of current under-manned draft set-up in the state, “Shack” earns the compliment. Under the pressure of signing thousands of documents a day and making scores of decisions, some on a policy level, he’s still got a ready smile,

How It All Happened

LET'S TAKE a look at how this rangy former school teacher ever found himself, a Navy man from. way back, working in Selective Service, strictly an Army show. Oldest of three children, Cmdr. Shackelford was born in Evansville, where his father, the late Frederick, was a veteran railroad engineer. His mother, whom he manages to see only about once every six months “because of this damned unrest,” now lives in Kentucky. “The folks had a hankering to seé the West when I was about 4,” he recalls. “And they headed for a 640-acre homestead in Cimarron County of the old Oklahoma Territory.” The whole family had to make a four-day overland haul in a bona fide covered wagon from the Rock Island Railroad junction to their stake of rich rolling prairie land, where only a few “moth-eaten Injuns” plagued the settlers, and then usually “when the white man’s firewater got him riled up.” They prospered. Windmills, pumping water from wells that reached a hundred feet down into the thirsty Oklahoma loam, sprouted in vistas that supported hundreds of head of prime beef. Shack was well on his way to becoming a first class cowpuncher when a series of disastrous blizgards struck the region which later was to be nearly blown off the map by dust blizzards in the '30's. After the storms of 1915, the Shackelfords gave up. Victory of the elements was only temporary, though, because the tight-knit, spirited family tried homesteading again, this time in Union County, Ky. Shack finished high school there and got the bug for higher education. University of Kentucky passed out an A.B. degree in 1825 and M.A. degree in "27 to this young man who was to carve quite a name for himself as a classical languages teacher before becoming a civil servant. And carve he did. First for three years on the faculty of his alma mater, later for eight years at the University of Alabama. Summers took him abroad where he learned French and German and a smattering of half a dozen other languages. - Italy's “heroic” war against Ethiopia blocked a proposed tour of Italy in 1936 and he began working in the Indiana Department of Public Welfare instead. In 1939, Civilian Shackelford was transferred to a federal agency directing allocation of surpluses and the new school lunch program. But the state wanted him back again the following year when “Goodby Dear, I'll Be Back in a Year”

Seeks Leadership

Advised to Work

Toward Advancement In my senior year im high school, four years ago, I was quite active in a boy#’ club and in class affairs. I wanted to be a leader and succeded. Now that I am a straw-boss in a small factory I still have the same desire but my opportunities seem very limited. Thank you for any suggestions.

Commissioned a lieutenant in the Navy In March, 1942, he was “on deck” in the same office] as before for the next two years.

When orders came to dust off the books for! the 1948 draft, he was acting state director of al Selective Service records. History repeated itself and he was called tol active Navy duty in August, 1948, only this time a commander, equivalent..of Army lieutenant colonel. | Once again prized tomato plants at his bunga-| low go untended.
