Draft Registrars Who
Plan To Enlist Must
Do So Promptly

Colonel Henry C. Stanwood,
State Director of Selective Service,
urges that all registrants who are
DESTROYS of enlisting in one of the
various branches of military SER
vice, including the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps, or Coast Guard,
should complete their enlistment
prior. to the receipt of an order to
report to the Army Examination
Station for physical examination
under Selective Service. Failure on
the part of a registrant to do so
will in practically all cases disbar
him from the privilege of enlisting.
The recent instructions issued
under Selective Service as the re-
suit of an agreement between all
the recruiting services and the
administration of Selective Service
provide that no recruiting effort
shall be employed after a regis
trant receives a notice from his
Local Board to appear for Army
physical examination at the Army
Examination Station. 8 The local
board may not waive the necessity
of registrant's reporting for ir-
duction under Selective Service if
by so doing, a default in its Undue
ton call is necessitated.
Registrars who contemplate or
desire to enlist in any branch of
the military service, in either
Army, Navy, Marine Corps, or
Coast Guard, must act promptly or
after the receipt of their ques-
tionnaires from their Local Boards
and their subsequent classification
by the Local Board in Glass la.

Danger is no longer confined to
the fighting front. The expansion
Is air power has over-leaped dis
lance and any barrier. The fact
that we are today many miles from
the enemy's headquarters is no
guarantee at all of physical safe
ty. Wars are no longer fought ex-
clusively between the armed forces
of contending nations. Our people
are in danger and it must be said
IN all candor that the chances of
attack are just as great in one
place as in another.
"Our duty is plain. We must, as
a people, and as individuals, cast
aside once and for all any mental
reservations we may have had. We
must buckle down to work, to pro-
duce defense materials as we have
never produced before, as we never
believed it possible that we could
produce.
Then, we must adjust ourselves
mentally to defense. Long past is
the time when we can feel that we
are doing our part by donating
some of our spare time. On the
contrary we must not only be ready
to give every assistance demanded
of us, but we must, by intensive
training, learn how to give exactly
that type Of emergency help for
which we are best suited.
eve must accept the fact, we
must cherish it as a patriotic duty,
that such work will absorb our
time, consume our energy, deprive
us Of sleep. If we are not ready
to help on this all-outbasis, we are
not the successors of patriotic AM
orleans Of past generations"

Troops to Dutch Guina
 Meets Senate Approval

WASHINGTON, Nov 25 tPl - The dispatch of protective force of United States troops to Dutch Guina won much com mendation in the Senate. There was a general disposition to link the move with the critical status of French-American relations. Several Senators, speaking of the Dutch colony's rich bauXite min es, said the President obviously intended to forestall any threat to this vital supply source which furnishes more than SO percent of the bauxite ore required by this country's rapidly expanding aluminium industry.
 Some thought President Roose- welt may have acted in concern lest Germany occupy Dakar, Frances strategic base on the western hump of Africa, then try later to move into French Guina which borders the Dutch colony, on the northeast coast of South America.
