Registrants Are
Urged To Use Care
In Preparing Form
An urgent appeal to men in this
area to aid the War effort by using
more care in filling out their oc
cupational questionnaires was is
sued by Brig. Gen. Simon B .Haw
kins ' Director of Selective Service
^ or S ,at e of Geoigia.
"Effective mobilization of our
manpower for wartime industry
and agriculture must be accomp
if we are to win the war,”
Director Hawkins declared. “For
this purpose it is essential that the
occupational inventory be com
pleted speedily and accurately.”
“Preliminary reports indicate
that many of the questionnaires boards
coming into draft, and
United States Employment offices
are faulty or incomplete,” he add
ed. “This occupational inventory
is a vital part of the Nation’s war
program, and it is of the great
est importance that registrants fill
out their questionnaires clearly,
fully and accurately,”
Director Hawkins urged all
registrants who have any diffi
culty in filling out the question
naire to go to their employer for
help. Help in filling out the ques
tionnaire is also available at any
office of the United States Em
ployment Service, local draft
board office, and many Veterans’
posts and labor unions.
According to Director Hawkins’
report, incorrect or incomplete
questionnaires are running as
high as 50 per cent of the total
number submitted. “This is a very
serious matter,” he pointed out,
“since it is necessary to call in the
registrant for an interview in such
cases in order to correct the er
rors or supply the missing infor
mation. This means not only in
convenience to the pei'son called
in, but increases the expense and
the time required for performance
of this occupational inventory.”
Questionnaires have been or are
being sent to all men who regis
tered with the Selective Service
System, so that eventually the
government will have a complete
inventory of all its manpower be
tween the ages of 18 and 64.
Specifically, the data collected
will be used for three principal
purposes: 1. to avoid the induction
into the armed forces of men who
are more urgently needed in war
production; second, to replace
workers now deferred from mili
tary service on occupational
grounds whenever possible with
vocational trainees or other quali
fied persons who because of age,
sex or other reasons are not suit
able for military service; third, to
speed up war production by pro
moting the transfer of workers
from non-essential to essential
work.
Georgia College include Dorothy
Anderson, Telfair county; Louise
Roland, Crisp; Corene Moody, Tat
tnall; Luetta Faircloth, Mitchell;
Catherine Rogers, Dodge; Lourie
Griffis, Cooffee; Barbara DuVall,
Calhoun; and Mary Ruth Brown,

PEANUT HAY
Hay is a valuable by-product
of the peanut crop, the Agricul
tural Extension Service says in re
porting that 264,000 tons were pro
duced in Georgia during 1941.
However, the Extension Service
says the quality of peanut hay de
pends upon proper harvesting date
and methods, curing, picking, and
storing.

As WE MARCH TOGETHER against a common foe, we
Canadians recall with a sense of deep gratitude the
warm generosity of you Americans, as so often demon
strated personally to us.
Your war aid during our last two summers of fighting
has buttressed our efforts and strengthened our morale.
Now that we stand shoulder to shoulder against the
forces of darkness and barbarism, we feel more than
ever our kinship with you, our neighbours, across “the
friendliest border in the world.”
Whether you visit us soon, or not until Victory is
won, we know you will remember the pine forests, blue
waters and snowy peaks where you have spent so many
happy days in times of peace. And we hope you will
think often of the friendly folk of Canada, who send an
open-hearted greeting to all their American neighbours.
