Veterans Of Foreign Wars, and the
cooperation of these organizations
will enable the naming Of numer-

members for assisting registrants
in the filling out Of their question
naires.
Stearns County Local Board No.
2 on November 9th had eleven reg
istrants applying for volunteer in
duction. These will be classified by
the board and If in the Al class
will be reqested to appear for ply
sical examination. The men avail
able through voluntary induction
will, it is believed, fill the boards
quota Of inductions to be made dur
ing the months Of November and
December.
There are a number of regis
trants, especially the border line Of
the district, whose registration
cards are now filed with a board
not in the area in which they re-
side. The State Headquarters have
issued the following notice in an
swer to requests for transfer Of
these cards: "a registrant's card
may not be transferred from the
files of one Local Board to an
other after it has been given a
serial number, whether the reason
advanced for such transfer be er-
roneous designation of address or
removal from the area Of one Board
to that of another. However, un-
der the provisions of paragraphs 382
to 384, inclusive, Of Volume Three
Of the Selective Service Regulations
registrant's file can be transfer
red to another Local Board for
classification or for physical exam
ifiation have been completed, the
papers are returned to the original
Board.
Several registrants under the Sc
lective Service draft have received
cards with their serial numbers and
order numbers from their local
boards. Many of these have re-
ceived lower order numbers than
anticipated, a misunderstanding
which they received from newspap-
er lists, which were published ac-
cording to the drawn numbers
There is no error in the numbers
sent from the local boards, and
that is each registrants official
number.
At the time of the publication of
the lists, 1858 was the highest reg
istration number in this district,
therefore all serial numbers of
higher denomination cancel out.
For example: Serial number 15S,
Gets order number /; serial num-
ber 1872, gets order number 1872;
serial number S239 "a scratched be-
cause there is no such number IN
this district. For the same reason
numbers $500, $685., Alto and other
numbers above the highest in the
district cancel out In nineteenth
place on the national master list
was 105, which becomes order num-
ber three in this district, etc.
A warning to men to carry their
Selective Service registration cards
with them at all times las been
printed before, but because of the
Importance of that announcement,
we print the warning again.
Men must carry their registration
cards with them at all times, or
they are liable to arrest. Any law
enforcement officer-including pol
icemen, highway patrolmen, game
wardens, and the like-has the
right to ask man for his regis
tration card. It is now as essent-
ial to carry your registration card
as it is to carry your drivers lie
ense.
It is emphasized that failure to
produce the registration card upon
request will result in a mans ar
rest.
Right now, when the idea of
carrying the registration card all
the time is new, officials do not
wish to be too strict about the mat
ter. But within a week or two,
there will be a concerted drive to
round up evaders of the registra-
tion law, and so this warning is
again issued.
