The trouble with the system is that it is a bit With of-erazy. quilty patchwork. its several registrations of age groups, and its classification of these, it is no easy thing to administer either nationally or locally. Engineer G. E. Mitchell of the Tahoe National Forest staff will attend a meeting of chrome operators at Forest Hill.tomorrow night. 'Ehe chrome mine operators Sportsmen Should Realize Importance Of Preventing Disastrous Forest Fires of better have had a much system.

So the Selective Service was designed in the first instance to an provide army who would not be permitted to go farther from home than the United States or its possessions. Germany, After Japan, and Italy formally declared war on the United States, the entire picture changed, in fact, flamed with sanguine color. Universal or globular war necessitated at length, a registration of all men between 20 and 65, and there is now the im mediate prospect that boys between 18 and 20 must register. If our leadership in congress and in the White House had been forevery being of sighted, instead much like the folks at home, the first registration would have. ¢alled for the registration of all males between the ages of 18 and 65, with ‘the younger men drafted for service not in the army alone, but in the Navy, the Marines, the Coast a Guard and the merchant marine.
