Information for Registrars.

Beginning Wednesday the 18th.
inst. the new Questionnaires will be
mailed to registrants from 10 to 81
years old, at the rate Of about 100
per day till they are finished which
will be probably about ten days.
Registrants have seven days in
which to fill out and return their ques-
tionnaires. but they are asked BY
the government to not consume the
whole seven days allowed, but to fill
out and return as soon as can be con-
veniently done SO that the work may
be hurried te completion.
Registrants are warned to be GER
sain that all information called for in
the questionable is given. If certain
parts of the questionable are left
unanswered, even if the registrant
valves all claim for deferred classif-
cation, this is not satisfactory and
complete answer to the QUESTIONABLE
and will almost always result in the
registrant being called to the Office
Of the board to complete his question
naire, thus putting him to trouble
and often times to cost and making
more work for all.
The attention to the Legal Adyis-
DRY is invited to this matter also.
Registrars are asked and urged
to get competent help to fill out the
QUESTIONABLE. There are several
members of the Legal Advisory Board
at Selmer, and competent persons
will be designated to act as associate
members at the various community
centers of the county, thereby max
ing it easy for all to have competent
help. Careful attention here will
save much trouble and expense to
the Registrars and to others.
