Is years of age, state director.
Colonel Lawrence w. Long. in
statement released to the press to-
day, again cautioned the boys to
report to their local selective serv-
ice board Office and fill out the
necessary papers.
This is in accordance with the
selective training and service law,
as amended. and the state director
urged all men over the state to
report to their local boards and
register on. the day they reach the
18th anniversary of their birth.
AS yet, practically no trouble has
developed because of the fact the
boys have failed to register. and
the state director feels that anyone
who did not register at the proper
time and place, has been due
mostly to neglect and not to any
lack OF patriotism on the part of
the hoys from the State of Missis-
