OF It's Slgnnleance ana thaJ we accord
to it the honor and meaning that it de-
serves. Our industrial need prescribes
that it be not made a technical holiday
but the stern sacrifice that is before
us urges that it be carried in all our
hearts as a great day of patriotic de-
votion and obligation when the duty
shall lie upon every man, whether he
is himself to be registered or not, to
see to it that the name of every male
person of the designated ages is writ
ten on these lists of honor"
Registration day should be celebrat-
ed as a conservation of the American
people to service and sacrifice. 1t
should be a welcome to those register
ing. 1t should be a public expression
by each community of willingness to
surrender its sons to the country.
1t should be celebrated in serious
spirit and kept as Registration Day
only. 1t must be distinguished from
the ordinary holiday. No other objects
should be allowed to intrude therein
Elaborate and costly decorations

for and activities of the day should b(
foremost.
The celebration should be centereC
around the registration places, anC
those who register should be especial
ly distinguished.
The registration places should b,
decorated with the national emblem!
and colors.
At seven in the morning, the hour o

the feature of the parades, and shoul,
be escorted where practical to the reg
