Registrants Having Trouble. The matter of filling out the questionnaires being mailed to the various registrants throughout the county is a matter of no small consequence to those concerned and it is also a considerable job to fill out these forms, especially when so many of the registrants are not familiar with fViom anH rlrv nnfr knnw Viniv tn fill them out. In addition to filling out the various questions a registrant must secure affidavits from parties and many of them, especially those living in the rural sections, are having to go to considerable trouble to get parties before a notary public to 9ign the affidavits. In order for some of the registrants to fill out the questionnaires it is necessary that they travel several miles and any party who can be of assistance to them should certainly be patriotic enouvrh to do so.
