THE LEGAL ADVISARY BOARD.
Will be Given Registrars
in Preparing Questionnaires.


Will you please give space in the
columns of your paper for the 1ol-
lowing information?
Those registrants in the county
who desire advice or assistance IN
preparing their questionnaTes are
informed that in response te~the
call of the president of the United
States a number of our citizens have
patriotically promised to aid regis
trants free of charge, realizing the
great importance attaching to the
correct preparation Of the question
naire.
Registrants are urged TO secure
aid from other persons than mem
bers of the legal advisory board as
far as possible, in obtaining ideas
of the matters touched upon in each
question of the Questionnaire, so that
if q registrant finds it necessary to
obtain advice or assistance from a
member of the legal advisory board,
such registrant will be prepared to
furnish the data and facts which
should be embodied in his answers.
A list of the members of the legal
advisory board of Bamberg county,
and their places of residence, ap-
nears below. The membership of
the board is widely scattered with
view to making easily accessible to
registrants in the different sections
of the county some one whom they
can call upon for assistance as their
needs may require.
These gentlemen may be found at
their respective Offices, places OF
business or residences; and at Bam-
berg we will try to have some men,
ber of the board present each day in
offices adjoining the Office of the To-
cal exemption board.
Under the selective service reg
ulations registrants. have seven days
only (excluding the day of the mall
ing of the QUESTIONABLE and exclud-
ing Sundays and legal holidays) in
which to prepare and file their ques-
tionnaires, and if they wait until
near the end of the seven day period
the members of the legal advisory
board may not have sufficient time
to give assistance to all who may de-
sire it. Saturdays are busy days;
do not delay until then, or until 1t
suits your convenience, to obtain as
sistance. If you find that you need
advice, see a member of the board
as soon after receiving your ques-
tionnaire as possible.
Eighty-five questionnaires are
mailed to registrants each day, and
therefore IS (many more on some
days) have to be answered and filed
each day. This may entail an enor-
1nous amount Of work on members
of the board unless the registrants
cooperate in distributing this labor.
The chairman of the legal advis-
ory board requests that all citizens
of the county who are qualified vol
unteer to give their services as mem
bers of this board, as patriotic
duty to their government, and as a
service due the registrants of our
county.
Those who volunteer for this SER
vice will be mailed the oath of office
and will be furnished with the neces-
sary rules and regulations concern
ing their duties, by communicating
with the chairman Of the board.
