pay In a case where a fee IS asked
for the service. 1t has come to the
county committee that certain parties
have been charging registrants fees
for their services in this question
naire matter. Registrants should
bear in mind this notice and refuse
to pay any person for the service. II
the reports received are correct, and
certain registrants have been charged
for the filling out OF their question:
naires, such registrants have a per-
feet right to go back to the parties
who made the charge and demand re-
turn of their money. No charge Is
contemplated by the government for
this service. anu where charge has
been or is made, it is done without
authority and strictly IN defiance of
the governments Instructors.
This is day when every man, wo-
man and child can "do their bit" for
the government, and those who re-
fuse to do their part are "slackers"
in the broadest sense of the word.
1t Is enough that registrants come
and place themselves at the service
Of the government without their be-
ing forced by some INSCRIPTIONS per-
son to pay fee for assisting them in
completing the missionaries.
