This II how 70 use It:
Each resistrant has been A.

number given In each instance u
the serial number; the accomp-
anying number II the order NUM-
bor which determines the order
Of call.
The order number, determined
b. lottery In Warrington last
night, represents the number Of
draws made from the goldfish
bowl before the serial number
was reached.
SEQUENCE NUMBER
This sequence number will de-
termine roughly when your ser.
rial number (you) will be call
"a for service. Il will net de-
termine Il exactly, because all
three Macomb county boards
must take the sequence numbers
and eliminate numbers higher
than the total number Of regis
trants In each district.
The sequence number, howev-
or, must be reduced materially
Il the selectee would determine
his approximate order Of call.
While 900 numbers were drawn
1t Washington, Board No. I has
only IA II year-old registrants;
Board No. 2 223 and No. 3,

ESTIMATE REDUCTIONS
Thus registrants Of Boards I
and 2 should reduce order num-
bers given in the following list
by 70 per cent and Board No.
8 registrants should make an
30 per cent reduction.
Il works like this: Registrars
OF Board No. 2 with an order
number Of 200 will find their
permanent order number to be
approximately 80 per cent Of
that figure, or No. go. A Board
No. 3 resistrant with the same

cd q permanent order number
of approximately 20.

Der opposite 1t on the order num-
