There is not much probability of en-
Iistments being opened in the future
There are orders which suggest that

bers. Whether these Calls will be open
for volunteers is not known but may
be the case SO that the Registrant may
have this choice.

can get them.
The Home Service Department wish
at this time to again assure you who
have not yet received your allotment
that there is 10 need to worry over the
matter unless it is delayed longer than
three months. In that case report the
fact to the Chairman of the Department

the Red Cross and give the soldiers full !
name, date of enlistment, to whom the |
allotment was made, and the matter can
be soon adjusted. The same applies to |

lotments. Both will in almost all cases
come out all right if properly made out
