Officials of Selective
Service Board Say Help
Is Required by Some
Registrants.
Selective Service officials this
week appealed.to the Citizens of j
Newton County to do all in their !
power to aid the 990 men in the !
County who have to fill out occu
pational forms now being mailed
by the local board.
Dr. W. K. Swann, chairman of
the Board, pointed out that the
form is complicated and that in
many instances the man receiving
it will be unable to fill it out
without help. Members of the !
Board and staff of the Newton I
County Board are not permitted
to fill out the forms.
The forms, which will be used
as a basis for replacing men in
essential war industries, cover
four full pages and fully cover |
the past history, education and
other pertinent information about
the registrant.
"It is everybody’s duty to pitch
in and help these men fill out
these forms,” Dr. Swann said,
adding that this “is not a time for
idle hands.”

was performed locally.
