REGlSTRANTS
A Class Of so Will Be
Examined Friday
Work Of Filling Out Industrial Occupa-
ton Cards Is Completed in This
Division and Cards Will Be For
warded Today to Washington.

Washington's Birthday will be cele-
nebec county by the giving OF physical
examinations to SO registrants Of Glass
! at its office in the federal building,
beginning at 1880 A. NJ.
The supreme obligation resting upon
every citizen since the beginning OF the
wal is service to his country, TINS obli-
cation being particularly binding upon
all men between the ages ofs21 and 81
since the passage of the Select1ye Serv-
ice Act. May IS, 1917; the provost mar
shal general has therefore ordered the
government appeal agents in all boards
throughout the country to appeal cases
of registrantS who laimed deferred
classification on the grounds of having
a dependent wife, where such mar
riages had been contracted since last
May. In this division of kenncbec
county, under the jurisdiction Of Local
Board No. I, there are &c such cases
which have beer sent up to the Dis
trict Board and on its finding will
neWlyWcds.
A number of the Augusta school
teachers have heen busily engaged this
week in assisting in the filling out OF
the industrial occupation cards which
will give the government all the In
formation obtainablc from the ques-
tionnaires returned to the local board
by the 2200 registrants in this division.
This work has now been completed,
thanks to the splendid service cheer
fully rendered by the teachers without
other reward than the satisfaction Of
knowing they were helping the govern
ment raise its great industrial army.
The cards will be forwarded today to
Washington.
Local Board No. ! is much gratificd
to find that the same splendid spirit
which animated the first registrants to
be accepted, continues to be shown by
the kennebec boys last examined. The
almost invariable response to the as
given by DR.. w. II. Harris. the
examining physician, that a resistrant
has been accepted or found qualified
for military service. is: That's good,
the sooner | can &C the better it would
suit me. How long before we START
The only regrets that have been eX-
pressed have been by the boys who
have beer found disqualified for mill
tary service. One young business man
in this city who was rejected last year
for physical disability, has submitted
to a severe operation and was q Very
happy man at a recent examination
when the doctor pronounced HIM quail
fed for military service.
An amusing incident which lichtencd
the seriousness Of the work the other
day was when a fine young man had
been pronounced qualified for military
service, announced that since he FLED
his QUESTIONABLE in December he had
gained a wife and w children, the
bride having accumulated her children
by a former marriage. Chairman
Plaisted asked the young man if lie
thought he did just right in getting
married when he knew he was soon to
go with the army. to which the young
man smilinsly replied that the lady had
rather suggested it herself

RED CROSS NOTES

1t is imperative that all knitted ar
ticles in the hands of our women be
turned in to the headquarters at the
earliest date possible. With cold
weather coming on, the demand is
great, and every soldier and sailor
must be provided with warm clothes
before the winter months arrive. EV-
cry one who possibly can should give
their very best effort for awhile at
least, so that the work to be done may
be accomplished and we can then feel
we are not neglecting our boys.
The Junior Red Cross is making
plans for the fall and winter months,
and will be of great assistance to the
Red Cross chapter here. The schools
in the city and county have already
commenced asking for material to
work on.
A check for $3740 was received at
the headquarters recently from the
Knowlton-Dancy branch of the Red
Cross, the sum realized from a dance
given.
The Edgar branch has sent in $15.O5
the proceeds of a social held in that
village in August.
An entertainment was given a short
time ago by the Taegeville Rural Rus
tic club for the benefit of the Red
Cross. $500 was realized, and has
been sent to the headquarters by Miss
Frieda Strehlow of the town of Maine.
The Home Service is an activity
connected with the Red Cross doing
splendid work. They assist the fam
lilies OF the army and navy men in any
way they possibly can. The workers
encourage letter writing greatly. 1t is
in way an organization for the pur-
pose OF giving what information they
can to men in the service and also to
their families. The Homes Service de-
partment should be visited by more
people, and will find it a great source
of help.
$48.51 has been sent to the Red
Cross headquarters from the Mosinee
branch.
The Brookerville branch has sent a
check for $1S.06 to the headquarters.
School district No. 6, town Of Cleve-
land, recently gave an ice cream social
and dance for the benefit of the Red
Cross. $41.6O was cleared and sent
here.
The Stratford Red Cross branch has
| donated $4,000.
The third payment of the Second
Red Cross war fund drive is due and
can be paid to A. H. Zimmerman,
cashier, at the Office of Zimmerman
& Rowley.
