clerks. laborers-all will register for
service.
Every man between the ages of IS
and As must register at one of the
regular polling places, no matter
what his occupation or nationality.
If he is an enemy alien or If he is
employed at an essential occupation
at which the government wants him
to remain, the draft official will find
it out and put him in his proper
place. But that can be done only
through registration.
Age Limits Inclusive
The age limits are inclusive. That
means that if a mans eighteenth
birthday occurs after midnight to-
night, he must register for the draft.
If his forty-sixth birthday occurs
after midnight tomorrow night, he
is within the age limits, and must
register.
That there can be no mistake
about the age qualifications, 1t is
pointed out that man 40 years and
364 days old, must register. He is IN
the draft as certainly as the man who
attains his eighteenth birthday the
day of registration.
The men who have registered in
previous drafts must not go to the
boards to register. They are already
registered for service. They have
merely beaten to-morrow's regis
trants to il. If they go to the regis
tration booths they only cause con-
fusion and unnecessary delay while
the board officials explain to them
that they are already registered. No
matter what the mans age, if he
registered during one of the three
previous registrations, Uncle Sam has
his name and doesn't want 1t again.
Registrars Easily Found
If. a man doesn't know where to
register, he is reminded to go to the
same place he votes. There registrars
will take care of him. If he is one of
the IS, 10 or 20-year class, and
| doesn't know where the polling place
| is, he should look it up in previous
| issues of the papers or accompany
an older man to polling place
| There is no excuse for not register
| ing. Any registration officer can tell
where the proper place to register is
| 10 be found.
The Headquarters
II a man cannot locate his proper
registration place. the draft boards
can tell him where they are. Draft
| board headquarters are as follows:
! City board No. 1, room A, first
| floor, courthouse.
City board No. 2, Mcfarland Print
cry, Mulberry and Crescent streets.
! City board No. 8. third floor. Com
monwealth Trust building, 322 Mar
| ket street.

! building, Steelton.

Dauphin building, Second and Mar

! Many Interpreters
] At some of the draft boards inter-
| prefers will be employed to handle
the registration of the foreignborn.
| In Steelton, as we'll as the Seventh
ward and other sections Of Harris
burg, every nationality is expected to
| be represented in the enrolment.
| Almost every nationality in the world
has its sons at Steelton, these men
will register to signify their willing
ness to help Uncle Sam in his call
| for men.
In order that there may be no con-
fusion or shut down of plants en-
ployed on war essentials, many of
| the large plants throughout the city,
as we'll as the railroads, will have
registrars to register the employees at
their work. At the end of the day
the cards will be turned over to the
draft boards. This method will do
away somewhat with the congestion
| likely to occur at the regular reg
| istration places
