Filling Out of Questionnaires No Small Task.

A glance at one of the sixteen □age questionnaires, which are beng sent out to the conscripted men of the county reveals the feat that the filling in of one of these properly is no small task and that considerable time must be consumed before they are correctly to be returned to the registration board. Even for a lawyer, who is used to asking questions and filling out legal blanks the job is no small one. That is why registrants who are not accustomed to such work should consult an attorney, whose advice and assistance will be freely given. It is expected that an hour to a questionnaire will be the average. Jesse Eschbach, state conscription agent, has mailed out to the conscription boards some very important communication relative to the filling out of the blanks, which was given him by Adjtj Gen. Crowder When attorneys fill out the blanks for registrants, the order says,whether they are legal advisory board members, associate members they must enter on z the left hand margin of the questionnaire the following: “Aid given by me” (name of attorney) “Permanent (or associate) member of legal advisory board.” Gen. Crowder says it is possible, if this information isi not placed on the questionnaire that the registrant may be delayed and embarassed in completing the questionnaire and accomplishing his classification.
