Show Utah Selective Service Boards To Conduct 2nd Registration July 1st Utahns Urged to Register With Their Home Boards For Classification 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. In order to facilitate the registering of men in Washington County, it is the hope of the county board that it can be worked out that men can register at Enterprise, Hurricane Hur-ricane and St. George. Final plans in regard to this will be annuonced in next week's issue of the News. Estimates by the Bureau of the Census in Washington, D. C, indicate in-dicate that there will be about 4500 men registered in Utah on July 1, Major Rich asserted. "The majority of young men affected" af-fected" he said, "will be registered at the local board headquarters of the community in which they live. In the event, however, that local board offices are so situated that it would be difficult for the registration to be conducted there without hardship to the registrants, regis-trants, other public building may be used. This will be particularly true in the more populous counties where it is anticipated that registrations regis-trations may be heavy." 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 were temporarily outside of the state in schools, on missions, mis-sions, in temporary employment, and othewise. In registering, many of them failed to give their home address as being in the State of Utah The result was that many of these young men found their cases permanently assinged to the address given in foreign states and thereafter attempted to have their cases 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 his 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. |
