It is understood that Herbert ~"

He said, 'I think it will prove

In addition to the members of
the advisory committee, Miss
Woodside says that postmasters
are qualified to gjve tnis assistance.
After the questionnaire has
been filled out, it is necessary
for the registrant to- appear before
a member of the advisory
board, a postmaster, a notary
public or some other person
qualified to administer oaths and
swear to the truthfulness of the
statements contained.
There has been complaint from
members of the draft board that
several of the questionnaires have
come in filled out with pencil.
All forms must be filled out
either on a typewriter or with
pen and ink.
