Use Of 4 Schools Asked.

The schools, whose use was re-
quested by Mr.. Leahy, are: Dunbar
High School. Wilson High School,
Roosevelt High School and Thomson
Elementary School.
A poll Of board members will be
necessary before the schools are ON
cially designated as registration
centers.
Meanwhile, District Selective
Service headquarters reported it
was far behind in obtaining volun-
teers for registration work.
Only 100 Volunteers.
Only about 100 persons have vol
unteered thus far, whereas at least
$500 will be needed to register the
men, Mr.. Leahy disclosed.
cit is fortunate that We have hit
a vacation period" Mr.. Leahy said.
But we expect that many persons
who ordinarily would volunteer will
do so when they return from vaca-
ton. Nevertheless, we can use as
many registrars as we can possibly
get"
Registration Of men 1S through Is
by age groups will be done In the
District Building and various other
public buildings, in addition to
