After the passage of the Selective Service Law by congress on May IS, 1917, the Governor of Arkansas was made head of the Selective Service in the State. Governor Brough ap- pointed R. H. Williams, Sheriff, C. M. Nicol, County Clerk, and Dr. F. c. Powell, City Physician, as members of the Registration Board of lJeffer- son County. In the hands of these men was placed the task of conduct ing registration of all men in the county Between the ages of twenty one and thrity-one years, inclusive. June 9th, 1917, was the day proclaim ed by the President of the United States for the registration of the man-power of the country. In every ward and township in the county competent and capable men assisted in the registration. The registra- tion consisted in the registrant stat ing his name, age, date and place of birth, whether married or single, height, nationality and whether he calimed exemption on account of de. pendents. The members of the Regis tration Board labored long and hard through the maze of various and com plicated instructions to complete the registration in one day; and to) much credit cannot be given them and the patriotic men who served un- der them for the faithful and eff cient manner in which they discharg- ed their duties. They served with out compensation and everything per- taining to the registration was ac- curate and business-like.
 The Selective Service Law provi- ded for the appointment of Exemp- tion Boards in every county of the United States. Where the number of registrants in county exceeded $500, the law provided for the ap- pointment of two exemption boards. The number of registrants in Jeffer- son County necessitated the appoint ment of two Exemptions Boards. On on the fifth day of July, 1917, the NofO4AoA VI Al hdAouo uppOlllIcu A. H. Powell, Dr. B. c. McMullen, and w. c. Hudson members of Local Exemption Board Number One. and J. F. Walt, M. J. Mead and Dr. T. J. Cunningham members of Local Ex- emption Board Number Two. They met the same day and took the oath of office to support the constitution of the United States, and to adminis- ter the Selective Service law with out partiality or favoritism. A. H. Rowell was elected Chairman, w. c. Hudson, Secretary and Dr. E. c, Mo

The status of married men was not known. There was much delay and confusion until the President of the United States defined the term dependency" and after that the tension was reduced and the Boards had less confusion and annoyance in passing upon claims for exemption. It is rerlark- able, however, that here was not more complaining and confusion con- sidering the gigantic task they had before them. AS time went on the regulations and instruc1ons began tc be stabilized; the Boards became more familiar with the work and they began. to bring order out of chaos.
