SCHOOL TEACHERS AND
 MERCHANTS HELP BOARD

The busiest place in town is Room 107, 'Thayer building, where the local draft board holds office, and the place bids fair to be the busiest place for some months to come. At present the board is busy copying registration cards of those who registered in the selective service draft on Sept 12. Several patriotic school teachers and business men have volunteered their services in the work of copying these cards, and their help is greatly appre- ciated by the board, as there are 4,062 cards to copy.
 After the copying will come the as- signing of serial numbers, then the drawing of order numbers, followed by the work of mailing out questionnaires to the 4.000 registrants, then the classifying of the registrants from the questionnaires and the examining ot the registrants to determine their physical qualifications for military service: With all this work ahead to say nothing of the other duties of the board, the draft board will be on the job twelve hours a day, and then some and are certainly doing their bit for Uncle Sam.
