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.
