Show Second Registration Set for July First Selective Service local boards of Utah are expected on July 1 to conduct the second registration of young men eligible for military training Acting State Director H. A. Rich announced today. Estimates by the Bureau of the Census in Washington, D. C, indicates in-dicates that there will be about 4500 men registered in Utah on July 1, Major Rich asserted. The majority of the young men affected" he said, "will be registered regis-tered at local board headquarters of the community in which they live. In the event, however that local board offices are so situated situat-ed that it would be difficult for' the registration to be conducted there without hardship to the registrants, other public buildings may be used. This will be particularly parti-cularly true in the more populous counties where it is anticipated that registrations may be heavy." Also the director said that in the more populous board areas, local boards may be authorized to enlist outside aid for the actual ac-tual registration. Major Rich expressly called attention at-tention to the fact that when the first registration was conducted last October 16 many young men of Utah temporarily outside of the State, on missions, in temporary tem-porary employment, and otherwise. other-wise. In registering, many or them failed to give their home address ad-dress as being in the State of Utah The result was that many of these young men found their cases per-manntly per-manntly assigned to the address given in foreign States and thereafter there-after attempted to have their cases cas-es transferred to Utah boards. If a Utah man temporarily absent, from the State expects to be regarded re-garded as a Utah registrant, he must, at the time of registration, give t:s Utah address, and his case will then be handled by the appropriate board in Utah. He can then communicate with his Utah board and give them his temporary address. Young men who are residing in foreign countries will not register regis-ter until after their return to the United States or its dominions. Registrations will be conducted between the hours of 7 a. m. and 9 p. m., Acting State Director Rich pointed out. |
