Gov. J. Melville Broughton, m
a proclamation announcing July 1,
as the “second registration day”
under toe selective service act of
1940, urges full co-operation and
pays tribute to toe patriotism of
toe people of North Carolina in toe
closing paragraph of toe proclama
tion, as follows:
“The people of North Carolina
have responded nobly to every call
for service heretofore made upon
them. We take pride in toe fact that
this State has been singularly free of
recalcitrance, malingering and sub
versive activities. More than 450,000
of our young men marched up to the
places set apart for registration and
registered on October 16, 1940, with
hardly a murmur of dissatisfaction
or complaint. I feel that those who
are required to register on this secmd
registration day will do so in toe
same spirit and good will. North Ca
rolina has never failed to do her full
duty in any crisis and will not fail
now.”
The five-point statement issued by
the Governor follows:
1. That 'Tuesday, July 1, 1941, is
hereby designated as Second Reg
istration Day.
2. That every male citizen of the
United States who resides in toe
State of North Carolina and every
male alien residing in North Caro
lina (other than persons excepted
by Section 5 (a) of toe Selective
Training and Service Act of 1940
or by Section 208 of toe Coast Guard
Auxiliary and Reserve Act of W1
who are already in some branch of
military service- who on or before
July 1, 1941, and subsequent to Oct
ober 16,' 1940, shoidd have attaint
the 21st anniversary of his birth, is
required to present himself for and
submit to the registration at his duly
designated registration place bet
ween the hours of 7 a. m. and 9 p.

of toa )o^ bpetollMi^ilil litoisdiction
aver toe area toe& paAnanent resi-
den)te, or at as may be

a ■ person required-,to roister is on
registration day so fak removed from
the place of his residence that he
cannot^ except at grept expense and
inconvenience, retiurn to his home
to register, he may p^ent himself
for and submit to registration at the
office of the nearest local board.
Special provisions will be made for
the registration of those who, on
account of sickness or other causes
beyond toeir control are unable to
present themselves for regiistraitcm
at the duly designated place on reg
istration day.
4. This registration shall be m

Regulations. Every person subject

proclamation, is required by toe law
itself to familiarisse himseU) with
the rules and regulations governing

Severe penalties are provided for
those who neglect or refuse to reg

5. I call upon all employers of
labor in the State to arrange for
their employees who are required
to register to be nleased from work
on registration day for a sufficient
length of time to enable them to
discharge their duty of registering.
And I call upon all State, county
and municipal agencies to co-oper
ate in this regard.

Room at toe Courthouse. The hours
