REGISTRATION
FOR II He DRAFT
Mex TUESDAY

More than $1,000 Michigan young
men who have attained their 2lst
birthday since October 10, 1910. viii
register with their local boards On the
second registration day, which has
been set for Tuesday, July /. between
the hours of am. and 9 pm, by
presidential prOciama ton, il has been
announced by state headquarters for
>elective service. WyandOtte registra-
lions will be received at State audi
torium on Chestnut street
Each regiStfant will have the right
to decide for himself which place he
wants recorded on his registration
card as his residence when he regis
;ers July l, according to Col. K. NJ.
ROsecrans, state director. The place
he chooses will determine the local
board that will always have jurisdic-
ton over him.
Following the first registration day,
many regiStrants wanted TO change
the address they had given for their
place of residence. 1t was impossible
for the selective service system TO
comply with these requests, according
TO Colonel ROsecrans, since the local
board continues to have Jurisdiction
over every regiStrant whose residence
is given in its local board area. In
other instances, addresses given by
registrants were incomplete, and the
registration cards frequently reached
the wrong lOC al boards.
New selective service regulations
now in the hands of local boards re-
quire each registrant TO describe his
place of residence so that its location
may he determined easily. regis
trant who lives on an RID. route
which goes through two states or two
counties will be required to indicate
the location OF his residence rather
than his mailing address Because
some regiStrants may wish to have
their mail sent to an address other
than the place of their residence, the
new registration card will show both
the place Of residence and. in addi-
ton, the mailing address of the regis
tramt.
The right of the registrant to select
his residence address without interior
ence from registrars has been safe
guarded In the new regulations. Regis
trarS have been instructed to warn the
registrant that once he decides upon 4
place of residence, the description Civ
en- by him will establish his local
board once and for all
Men subject to registrat iOn will be
registered at the office of the local
board having jurisdiction over their
residence. In certain instances, local
boards may designate special public
buildings as the registration place In
their AREA. tRegiStrants away from
home on registration day will register
at the office Of the local board where
ever they may happen to be on July 1.
Governor Murray ID. Van wagooner,
in prOclama ton requesting full COM
pliance with the presidents order call
ing for the second registration under
the selective service act, has requested
all employers to cooperate in securing
complete registration by giving en-
plOyes subject 10 registration sufficient
time in which to fulfill their Obliga-
tions.

Independence Wiser

The girl who has fought her
way to an independent position
cannot be blamed for hating to
give 1t up when she marries. She
may much prefer contributing to.
rather than taking from, her hus-
bands salary. II she plans to have
children, which she usually does,
she knows that what she earns
will probably help to educate
them. certainly q worthy incen-
tive. 1t Is also possible that she
may have some family RESPONSE
bility which she can hardly expec1r
her husband to assume.
No fair-minded woman can ex.
pect her husband to support mem.
bers of her family, though she may
rightly feel that in any emergency
he can be called upon to do his
bit.
Most economists agree that
when there are needy parents to
support, that 1t Is much wiser for
couple to support them else
where rather than under q COM
mon roof. The old American GUS
tom Of living with ones in-laws -
happily almost extinct. Neither the
young people nor the in-laws IA
vor this plan, making things hap
pier all around. Since the average
man cannot finance two establish
ments no matter how economic
ally both may be run. 1t usually
means that husband and wife both
have to work in order to preserve
their independence-and it's usu-
ally worth 1t.

This Is where the traveller must
take precautions. In visiting the
army camps. In these regions, you
may have to camp along the road
side and walk In the tall grass and
thus may pick up the ticks. So. II
you visit these regions every effort
should be taken to avoid walking
or camping In tall grass and brush.
II you must do so, snug leggings
or long stockings should be worn.
These should preferably be Of loose
rough wool Of hairy nature. An
entire suit Of lose-fitting hairy
garments would be Of help.
