NAME REGISTRARS FOR 18 TO 45 MEN
Local Board Ready To List This County's Part of Greater Army
In preparation for the great registration, which is to complete the listing for army service of all men in the nation between the ages of 18 and 45, the local board last night appointed registrars for every precinct in the county. The voting precinct is the registration unit. Every man within the age limits prescribed must appear before the registrar of his precinct and enter his name and assist in the making out of a card.
The date of the registration has not been announced officially, because last night no world had been received of the passage of the bill by congress. It has gone thru each house, but had not come out in identical form, and had been sent to conference for adjustment of trivial differences.
However, Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the senate military affairs committee said early this week that registration day would be Saturday, September 7. This day, then in all likelihood will be selected by the army officers as soon as the bill becomes a law.
In the nation it is expected that 13,000,000 men will register on the appointed day. That means about 1300 for Wallowa county.
Questionnaires will be sent to each man immediately after registration, and the same process of sifting out those eligible for military service will be employed as last year, following the first large registration. Those without exemptions will be called for physical examination, and a large new class one will be created. Thus the army will be swelled to the size necessary to make certain the victory.
The registrars for the county are:
Joseph No. 1 - F.F. McCully
Joseph No. 2 - A.W. Schaupp
Joseph No. 3 - A.M. Runells
Joseph No. 4 - I.E. Caviness
Enterprise No. 1 - F.A. Reavis
