| After the so-called initial reg.

body who will be lS by September II
but not yet 26 on August 80, there
will come what SIS calls "contin.
uing registration"
That will take care of younger.
than-18 who become 18 on or after
September 10. If the draft law isn't
changed, the continuing registration
will continue until June "a, 1850
two years after the law was signed
by President Truman.
According to SIS figure 100000
American males are Is at any given
time In "A hours a lot of these will
be 10, but the gap they leave will
be quickly filled by 17-year-olds be-
coming 18.
That means the continuing reg
istration' will register 100000 pos
sibilities for the draft each month
until June "a, 1850.
That doesn't seem like much work
If you remember that on October
is, 1910, SIS registered 1866, ,037
men. In one day, that is.
The authorized strength of the
Army is = 947 1000, which includes
8,375 women and 10000 18-year-
olds. The Army does not have quite
enough money to support all those
today.
The present strength of the Army
is only $4,000. That's the reason
that most, If not all, draftees will
find themselves in the Army The
Navy, Marines or Air Force are fill
ing their monthly quotas and expect
to continue doing it.
The Army is not, so you might as
well do what you can about getting
fond of olive drab.

Creek at Clarks Landing, Md, St
Marys County Sheriff Willard Long
said.
Mr.. Wick was a butcher at the

The sheriff said a certificate OF

The Selective Service System
(SSS) says that local draft boards
will spread the word on where reg
istration is to take place. Chances
are that it will not be at draft board
Offices, but at convenient places like
schools or churches. You might
even be able to register where you
work.
THE local boards will have to
use the places available" says the
SSS, but registration must be held
among dignified surroundings and
without disturbing factors"
In other words, while waiting your
turn in the registration line don't
hope to get in quickie pool game
You'll be in "dignified surround
ings."
You have to register regardless OF
whether you are an American c1ti-
zen. If you're in this country you
have to register, with two excep-
tions:
/. If you are in the armed forces
on active duty. !
2. If you are diplomat from a
foreign country or his attache.
Those are the only exceptions. II
ybu are a member of a reserve unit,
either organized or unorganized or
of the National Guard or anything
like that, you still have to register.
This does not necessarily mean
you will be drafted, but you do
have to register.
