1t is intimated that there are num-
Der of men between the ages of 81 an,
81 in this upper country who will not
register on the 5th of June in confor-
nifty with the selective conscription
law. These slackers better think twlt

the time and thus failing to meet up

Joe Gensey has the right spirit for
these times. He is a naturalized citizen
and his heart is with the United States
