NE WIS OF BESSEMER
MISS BERNEY CULLEN, Correspondent

Bessemer, December Especially
announcement that will be of Importance
to all registrants is that at all places
where the registrant signs his name in
answering the QUESTIONABLE and in max
ing out affidavits in support thereof he
should sign his name exactly as he reg
istered. For example, a registrant
named John Henry Smith must be John
Henry Smith at all times and not j. H..
Smith. 1t is necessary for all to note
that the name must be written in full.
1t seems that number of missionaries
have been filled out in initials only and
those who are filing them out as we'll as
registrants should not allow this to be
done. Much confusion and delay has
been created by this error and all regis
trants are urged to be most careful. The
local attorneys who are assisting the reg
istrants have been kept busy all day and
report q larger crowd than on any pre-
vious day since the questionnaires were
mailed out.
