VOLUNTARY ENROLMENT
CARDS FOR WOMEN
Who Requests II?

Who Requests It?
Because the need of woman power to
fill vacancies left by men and to help
In new industries created by war con-
ditions may prove very great, the !
United States Council Of National De-3I
Tense is asking it's State Representa-
tives to enroll or register women for
voluntary service.
The form Of card is that prescribed
by the National Council of Defense as
sisted by the Census Department,
What Enrolment Means.
1t is simply that each woman who
signs a card is willing to give the
specified service 1t may be something
she can do ut home without pay or with
pay. 1t emay be filling some position
outside of the home.
What it Does Not Mean.
Enrolment does not mean that such
service will necessarily be asked. 1t
will not be obligatory. 1t does not
necessarily mean that paid positions
will be filed This will depend on the
future needs.
Cards Are To Be Kept Locally.
They will be kept by County Chair
men because they then form an in
formation bureau that can be consulted
when local needs for various kinds of
assistance arise.
Duplicate Registration.
Some organizations have registered
their members. Such unofficial regis
tration is not Of value to the Govern
ment though it is of interest to the Or
ganization, so, if possible, women who
have so registered should re-enroll
themselves on the Government cards
or else summary of such registration
should be put in the hands of the local
representatives of the Council of De-
Tense.
Fee.
Since the official United States card
carries a blank space for recording a
fee, this appears on the card-but no
fee will be charged in Minnesota, so
this space may be ignored.
Time and Place for Registration.
The time and place for Registra ton
will be published later. The local
Public Safety Woman's Chairman will
have the matter in charge.

name, age, place Of birth, education,
