 5. Women should register for what they are doing now and for what they have been trained to do, whether or not they can give any extra service at the moment.
 6. Registration along industrial lines is not intended to remove women from their present position, nor to permit them to be exploited by un- appeals for "war service.'

 Our boys are giving their lives for our freedom; will you not give a little time to help encourage them? If we fail to do our part, we who are left at home with surrounding comforts what can we expect of them.
