lister. The proclamation set the
registration hours between 8 am.
and pm. They probably would be
extended here to from 7 am. to
pm.
High Schools May Be Used.
The registration probably would
take place in the II white and
colored high schools of the city with
many youths leaving their class
rooms in these schools long enough
to register.
Although the date of the prospec-
tive registration here will not be
set until permission for the revised
plan is obtained. officials said they
hoped to schedule it shortly before
the close of schools for the Christ
mas holidays.
If the plan is not approved, the
registration would have to follow
this schedule, as outlined by the
President last Wednesday in pro-
claiming the registration for the
youngest group to be taken into the
service:
l. Those born on or after July l.,
1924. but not after August 81. 1924,
to register the week of December
II to "a.
2. Those born on or after Septem-
Der /, 1924, but not after October
81, 1924, to register the week of
December 10 to "a.
3. Those born on or after Novem-
Der l, 1924, but not after December
81, 1924. to register December Is
to 81. --.--
Register on 18th Birthday.
The President provided that for
the duration of the war, youths
born after January /, 1925, will reg
lister at their local boards on the
day they reach their 18th birthday
or, if the anniversary falls on a
Sunday or legal holiday, on the first
day following.
AS in the case of those who reg
istered on June 30, no lottery will be
held to determine the order in
which these young men will be
called to the service. Instead, the
order of call is determined by the
day of their birth, with the oldest
boys in the 10 and 19-year-old
group going first.
Meanwhile, school officials said
they had just completed a survey
