When that band of enthusiastic
citizens gathered at the City Hall
last Tuesday and completed a lot
of the preliminary arrangements for
a live commercial organization, the
cities of Morgan City and Berwick
took long step forward. But, that
s*ep must not be the only one. I'm
less the first step is followed by
further steps, nothing will have
been accomplished. Now that a
splendid organization has been out
lined and its officers named: now
that the public has expressed itself
as being heartily in favor Of the or
ganization and Of the officers select
ed-let's see that the proposition
doesn't lag nor lose interest. These
men elected as officers are elected
to work for the tOwn-that is they
are elected to work for YOU, by
working with you. 1t you want your
work done, show these officers that
you are interested in their efforts
by keeping them continually remind
ed that they ARE Chamber of Com
merce officers. If you, friend reader,
have not yet signed a membership
pledge you are neglecting duty
tha.. is also a privilege. Make it a
point to see Secretary Palmer to-
day, or call him up and tell him to
come see you and bring along a
pledge card. 1t you can give $500
a month, it will be splendid of you
and show progressive appreciation
of your town. 1t you con only give
so cents month, it viii just as ac-
ceptable and just as highly appre-
eiated as if you could afford $500
per month But you can't afford not
to give something. Do your best ard

ting to your own interest.

Uncle Sam is preparing to deal
with the man who tries to dodge
on registration day!
The man who thinks he can
quietly disappear from sight has
had little experience with the U. S.
government.
He has forgotten the long trail
of records he has inevitably left
behind him in his years of life in
a given community that will al
most instantly give his correct age
to an investigating official, and
render useless the attempt to
dodge registration.
In a certain proportion of the
TERRITORY of the United States,
known by the census office as the
birth registration area" includ-
ing this state, records of the birth
of every child are sufficiently COM
plete and go back far enough for
an investigating official to check
up at once on the Stacker who
tries to dodge registration.
Schools Keep Data.
Where this not possible, there
is a practically complete record OF
the ages of every person who has
ever gone to the public schools.
This school record extends, OF
course, to all colleges and univer-
stiles, for those young men who
have gone to such institutions.
Practically every married
man i'm the United States has
tucked away in an official
record In a marriage license
bureau the little figures
which show just how old he
is. These are, of course, in
| stantly available to govern
ment officials.
Then, too, every man who has
taken out a life insurance policy.
accident policy, industrial policy,
has a nice little record OF his real
lage in the home office OF his in
surance company.
These records are required by
law to be accurately kept, and
they are also available for public
investigation.
