nounces that all Selective Service
Local Boards and auxiliary regis
tration points are now prepared to
start registering men, 18 through
Is, on August 30th. Registration

is that World War II registration
has no bearing on present regis
tration, since all men who have
reached their 18th birthday and
who have not yet reached their
26th birthday must register with
Selective Service regardless of the
fact that they may be veteran, a
reserviSt or member fthe Ma
tional Guard unless on active duty
at time of registration.
There will be no registration at
National Guard Armories since
these buildings are now fully oc-
cupied by the National Guard.
Men may register at any regis
tration point most convenient to
them on the appointed days re-
gardless of their place of resi-
dence.
The Law provides that all men
in this age group MUST REGIS
TER. Deferments from service in
the Armed Forces will be consid-
cred by the Local Boards in ac-.
cordance with regulations under
the law once registration has been
completed.

South American
Teacher Speaks
To Local Baha'is

Mrs. Helen Shearer who has
spent the past year visiting various
countries in South America, shar-
ed some of her experiences with
those present at the regular Sun
day morning service at the Baha'i
Center 1876 w. Van Buren.
AS a representative of hundreds
of Bahai communities in North
America, Mrs. Shearer contacted
Latin American Baha's in Rio de
Janeiro, Santos and Sac Paulo,
Brazil, Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Montevideo, Uruguay; Santiago,
Chile; and Lima, Peru. She empha-
sized that the LatinS are shaking
off the yoke of dogmatic religious
philohophies and striving for a
religion that will actually prove
its worth by fruits of social value,
such as the abolition of the ex-
tremes of poverty and wealth, the
coming together of science and re-
ligion, the individual rgereneation
that will allow religion to influ-
ence ones actions and thoughts
every day of the week and not
just during the Sunday sermon.
Mrs. Shearer pointed out that
the Baha'i Faith is firmly estab-
lishedN in every Republic of Latin
America and in the Islands of the
caribbean. A resident of Phoenix
for many years, Mrs. Shearer is
now writing a book which will
outline the Bahai answers to
many of our present social and &C.
onomic problems.

The tantalizing rendition of
Loving That Man of Nine" by
Norman Dean, gave the city some
thing new in the singing line. This
song was made famous by Lena
Horne and the difference in the
singing by Miss Dean and Miss
Horne is so little that it would
take an expert to tell their sing
ing apart.

To get some happiness from life,
And pass it on to other folk.
