MEN 45 10 64 10
RECKER NOME
With local boards throughout
the State of Georgia reporting
all in readiness for the registrar
tion on April 27 of men between
the ages of 45 and 64 years, in
clusive, Brig. Gen. Siom B.
Hawkins, State Director of Selec
tive Service, this week pointed
out that there are only three
main requirements for this
registration.
1. Every male citizen and every
male alien residing in Georgia,
other than persons excepted by
the Selective Training and
Sarvice Act of 1940, as amended,
who had attained the forty-fifth
anniversary of the day of his
birth on or before February 16,
1942, and has not attained the
gixty-fifth anniversary on the
diy of his birth on or before
April 27, 1942, is required to
present himself for and submit
to registration on April 27, 1942.
2. Registration should be made
at a designated registration place
of the local board area in which
the registrant has his permanent
home, or in which he may happen
to be between the hours 7 A. M.
and 9P. M. on April 27. This
registration place may be the
office of the local board having
jurisdiction in the area, or other
public place properly designated
by that local board.
8. Registrants must answer all
questions asked by the registrar
for notation on the registration
card. It is important that the
registrant describe his place of
residence in detail as well as give
lull particulars as to the address
at which he will be sure to res
cei/emailor other communica
tions.
Anyone who is unavoidably
away from his home on April 27
may register at the registration
place most convenient on that
day, but all registrants are urged
to make every effort to register
with their own local boards to
avoid possible confusion in the
future. Any person who must
register away from home also is
warned to carefully specify his
home address so that his regis
tration card may be forwarded
promptly to his own local board.
Special registrars also will be
provided to register men who
cannot appear at a designated
registration place because of
illness or other incapacity, the
Director stated, but it is incum
bent upon these men to advise a
registrar in their local board
area of their inability to appear
at a registration place.
A registrant who has more
than one place of residence may
choose which one he wants re
corded as his place of residence,
but no transient address may be
recorded, and a registrant who
lives on an RFD route which goes
through two Slates isrequiied
to indicate the location of bis
residence, rather than his mail
ing address.
After the registrant has answ
ered all questions and signed bis
name to the registration card, he
will be given a registration certi
ficate signed by the registrar.
This certificate must be in the
personal possession of the
registrant at all times. Failure
to possese this certificate, or to
show it to authorized persons
constitutes a violation of Selective
Service Regulations and is con-
Sidred prima facie evidence of
failure to register.
Those who regiiter on April
27 are not liable for military
service under the Selective

US PEOPLE
By G. C. Barnhill
Now we men can’t have any
cuffs on tbe bottom of our
britches, and the pocket flaps
are going, just plain stream lined.
Looks like they could have cut
them off at the knees for this hot
weather, would have saved more
cloth and been more comfortable.
George Washington started oil
this country wearing knee
britches. Was amy stery for a
while, why all saving britches
cloth, now it shows up the women
are going in for slack britches in
a big way, so of course we men
had to divide the wool with them,
but they really use the cloth
when they built a set. They
should have some because they
are beginning to toat the pocket
book more and more these days,
and it takes britches for this.

HAN BURNED RADII
AS HOME ISDESIRDIED
The house of C. C. Parks,
colored, near Erick, was de
stroyed by fire Tuesday morning
about three o’clock. The family
barely escaped from the burning
building. Nothing was saved, the
house and contents was de-v
stroyed.
Parks had several school
teachers boarding with him and
they escaped with their night
clothes.
W. T. Parks, a nephew of C. C.
Parks, also one of the teachers,
Prof. J. B. Maxwell, were
brought to tbe office of Dr. M.
Kusnitz, where they have been
receiving treatment.
The nephew, W. T. Parks, re
ceived second and third degree
burns over the upper portion of
his back, over head, face, arms
and hand. He received first de*
gree burns of his hands. He re
mains in a critical condition at
Kusnitz’s Clinic. The other
patient Prof. J. B. Maxwell,
is Jburned also about the
upper part of his body, but is
not in such critical condition.
The building was owned by the
estate of S.P. Aiken, and was a
large building.
Cut Cuffs Or Get
Chffed, U. S Warns
Atlanta—(GPS) Georgia cloth-,
ing merchants, tailors and the
buying public are warned that
the federal no-cuffs on-trousers
ban is a serious matter. And
Uncle Sana isn’t kidding.
Ralph Quillian, chief trial at
torney for OPAand legal counsel
for the rationing authority in the
Atlanta area, said certain stores
have reported selling
trousers from which the cuff have
not been cut. Purchasers of the
trousers, it was said, have em
ployed independent tailors to
finish the cuffs.
Such action, Mr. Quillian
nointed out, constitutes a triple
violation— involving the merch
ant, tbe tailor and the purchaser.
He said under the second War
Power Act signed by President
Roosevelt this month, violators
are liable to a SIO,OOO fine, a year
in prison, or both. OPA officials
said they are not“runmngdown ’
violators, but will tolerate no
violation in the future.
The no cuff order became effec-
tive April 1 and was aimed at
augmenting the wool supply,
drastically reduced by war con
ditions. The three to six inches
allowed by manufacturers for
cuffs, it was ordered, must be cut
by the merchant after fitting and
returned to the manufacturer
for reprocessing.
