Perhaps he does not even take
the trouble to tell his father that

If men of religion everywhere
could put the emphasis upon re-

REGISTRATION DAY
Declares Next Wednesday
Will Be Another Day OF
Destiny For America

RALEIGH, Oct. IL R Next
Wednesday will be "another day
of destiny for America" if every
citizen does his duty, Governor
Hoey asserted today in proclaim
ing that date registration day for
all those within the draft age
limits.
'In this hour North Carolina will
support the national defense pro-
gram in its entirety" the chief
executive said in his proclamation.
1--WE stand ready to join the sister
hood of states in preparing for the
defense of our common country
on land and sea and in the air.
"We realize the perils which con-
front us in the presence of a world
conflagration. We know the need
of preparation we are conscious
of the power and resources of our
nation, we are prepared to make
whatever sacrifices are necessary
and we face the future unafraid."
Meanwhile, gearing Of the re-
gistration machinery proceeded.
Six counties, Johnston, Iredell,
Cherokee, Rockingham, Hyde and
Alamance, reported they were
ready to proceed with the listing
of all men between the ages Of
81 and IS. Chowan sent word yes
erday that it Was prepared.
Governor Hoey announced that
tomorrow he planned to send to
President Roosevelt the list of 155
North Carolina draft boards. To
the clerks of court in the six coun-
ties from which draft board re-
Communications have not come, he
sent a telegram saying the names
must be reported by tomorrow.
The six counties have a total of
II boards - Camden, one, Forsyth
four, Gates one, Halifax two Madi-
son one and Wilkes two.
The Governor listed draft boards
for nine counties today, bringing
to IA the total number he has
approved.
Though no general holiday will
be declared, school officials in
some counties will aid election Of
ficials, who will have charge of
the registration, and some schools
may suspend classes. Governor
Hoey said that some or all schools
in Asheville might close because
many polling places there are in
school buildings.
