REGISTRATION ——<® 'Starts on Page One) The 1942 goal for the Army is 3, 600.000 men. and this number may be more than doubled during 1943. Nearly 1.000.000 men have been in ducted from the two previous regis trations, boosting the total in the Army at the present time to around 2.000.000. It is estimated that about 9,000. 000 men registered Monday, bring ing the total number of registrants in the nation to 27.000.000, since 18. 000.000 men had been listed at the two preceding registrations. Another regsitration will be held in the spring to list all men between the ages of 18 to 20 and 45 to 65. age brackets representing some 15.500, 000 in all. It is believed the men in this age group will be held for possible civilian protection and war production jobs, and they will bring to more than 42.000.000 the total registered manpower of the nation. Local selective service officials ex press their appreciation to the volun teer workers, both white and colored, who assisted in the registration Mon day. Most of the registration took' place in the morning. About 20 men registered Saturday hi anticipation of being out of town or unable to do so Monday. The names of any who failed to register will be turned over to FBI agents for investigation, it was said. iributions to this fund be made to rim as soon as possible. E. W i Spires, of Edenton. is in charge of | :he district dinner, which will be held j at the hotel in Edenton.
