A comprehensive roundup Of all of thu
workers in Pennsylvania is under way. BY
september 10 it is expected that enrolment
bureaus in every community in the State
will have been established. The purpose OF
these burdens is to provide Uncle Sam
with detailed accurate information in re-
gard to the man-power, the woman-power
and the boy-power that he can lay his hands
on in war emergency.
Every man who works, every woman who
works and every boy who is willing to worl,
will be asked to sign record of training,
experience and capacity for service.

apply In the words of John c. Frazee.
