Rifles in tho possession of active members ol the Homo tJnnrcl will be formally taken over in accordance with instructions issued to Unii Commanders but members may, if they so desire be allowed to retain possession so long as thej are taking an active part in tho movement All persons .concerned arc therefore horebj notified that on or before the 15th day ol May, 1941, they are required to either— (1) Hand in thp rlfiw or rifles in their possession to tho nearest Polico Station, if thej have not already done so, or , (2) Lodge with the nearest Polico Officer a written application for leave to retain possession, or (3). Notify the Police Officer that they arc active members of the Home Guard and' desire to have the exclusive use of their rifles. (4) If the. rifle Is not now in the original owner's possession ho should notify the local Police Officer of the name and address of the person to whom he has either transferred oi loaned It. If any person has in his possession any .302 rifle parts—such as barrels or other accessories —they should also be handed in.—J. S. HUNTEB, Director of National Service.
