his age in years and date of birth,
place of birth, the name and address
of the person who will always know
his address, his employers name and
address, and his place of employment
or business.
While it is important that regis
tration be conducted as speedily as
possible, Colonel Stanwood said that
every registrant will be given ample
time 10 respond properly to the ques-
tions on the registration card, which
on this occasion will be green. White

We're used FOR the first and second
Selective Service registrations
No questionnaires will be given
registrants when they register Feb
ruary IA, Is, and Is, nor will they
then be required to undergo any ply
steal examination, Colonel Stanwood
emphasized
Questionnaires are given to reg
istrants after their order numbers
have been determined and reached
by their local boards. Physical ex-
aminations are given only after the
boards have passed on the general
qualifications of registrants and have
determined that they should not be
deferred for reasons of interest to the
Nation.
When registered, each registrant
must answer, according to Colonel
Stanwood, the following nine ques-
tons: (D Name of Registrant; (2)
Place of Residence; (3) Mailing Ad-
dress (if other than Place of Resi-
dence); (4) Telephone; 81 Age in
Years and Date of Birth; (6) Place
of Birth; CD Name and address of
Person who will always know your
Address; (8) Employers Name and
Address, and 90 Place of Employ
ment or Business.
After a registrant has answered all
questions and signed his name to the
registration card, he will be given
registration certificate signed by
the registrat This certificate must
be in the personal possession of the
registrant at all times, Colonel Stan
wood warned. Failure to possess the
certificate, or to show it to author
lied persons, constitutes a violation
of Selective Service Regulations and
is considered prima facie evidence of
failure to register, Colonel Stanwood
said.

Since the Telegraph people ..nnot

in Telegraph offices across the coun-

Local Farmers Aided

AS part of Nationwide expansion

Woodall said that the States of Re-
giOn " will be provided with special
additional services for the finding and
plancing of competent agricultural
workers. Through the new plans, Mr..
Woodal explained, local farmers may
hire not only local workers, but will
be able to draw upon the labor re-
sources of the entire Nation, if nee
essary. Since the U. S. Employment

forts and suffering that always comes
with undirected migration.
To carry out this program, Mr..
Woodall has announced the appoint
ment of Mr.. C. w. E. Pittman of
North Carolina as Regional Farm
Placement Representative. 1t will be
the Regional Farm Placement Repre-
sentatives's responsibility to see that
all available local labor is used, and
that finding workers to fill farm jobs
is not hampered by State lines.
According to Mr.. Woodall, the Re
gional Farm Placement Representa-
tive is a part of completely reor-
gained nationwide machinery. For
purposes of carrying out this pro-
gram, the country has been divided
into eleven regions, each of which will
be headed up by Federal represen-
tative. Plans also call for the ap-
pOintment of a farm placement sup
ervisor in each State of the Union.
Each of the 1900 full-time employ
ment offices in this country, which
are coordinated by the United States
Employment Service and which serves
an agricultural area, will have a per-
son on its staff who will be respon-
sible for meeting the needs of farm
ers and farm workers.

said, agricultural labor problems can
no longer be looked upon as a con-
Germ only of agricultural States. Fill

To avoid waste of time and to speed

Pocomoke City, and who, for some
Dr.. II. Brantlcy Handy, a native of
years, has been connected with Rich
mond University as one of its most
valued instructors. The article in the
"Times-Dispatch' is as follows:
r. Fuller Patterson, one of the most
talented young Virginians of his gen
Grafton, grasped the significance of
the world battle for civilization more
than two years before America was
drawn into it as a belligerent. The
urge to offer his services in the cause
of freedom was so irresistible that
after several unsuccessful attempts to
enlist, he left Harvard Law School in
February, 1910, and joined the Royal
Canadian Air Force. Last month, in
action against the Germans, he was
reported missing, believed killed"
In a beautiful letter to a member
of his family, written between en-
gagements with the luftwaffe. and
dated only a few weeks before what
seems to have been his last flight,
Fuller Patterson said:
IF this is where I get mine, up
there where it is cold and clear, ON a
battlefield where the dead don't lie
about and rot, where there is no mud
and no stencil. where there is moon
light by night and stars, and in the
day the wizardry of intriguing cloud
formations, and a blue sky above
where man is free and on his own
and the devil and Jerry take the hind
most; if I get mine up there, there
must be no regrets. | would have it
that way. 1t is fortunate that those
of US who love life most, the very
ones who 50 keenly seek to live the
fullest life possible, must take the
long chances that in so many cases
cut it short. We are not blind to the
odds against us; true, we laugh at
them or think lightly of them, but
that is because we would have it no
other way. pity those, who living,
live in fear of death"
Elsewhere in the same letter he
pointed out that he had had several
narrow escapes already-his plane !
had been on fire at 10000 and at 3d.
500 feet, and he had baled out sue
both times. He sought to
reassure his family by saying "some- /
how or other I'll come through and be
back with you all again." but he knew
the odds were heavily against it.
This young Richmonder had led
his classes at st. Christopher's and at
Forest (where he played
on four major athletic teams, was
captain of one and president of the
senior class, and then had won a
four-year scholarship to Princeton in
with preparatory school
graduates from Virginia, Maryland
and the District of Columbia An hon
or student at Princeton, he was also
an Intercollegiate track champion.
When he interrupted his career at
Harvard to enlist as flyer for Can
ada, he was promptly elected leader
of the class by his fellow-cadets. Six
months later he was graduated at the
head of all the men with whom he
and was the first man in the
British Empire to receive the wings
of the airman.
And now he is reported killed in ac-
ton. In the same letter from which
we have quoted, he wrote of his COM
rades in the flying corps: "Out of the
