RECRUITING ACTIVITY ESTABLISHMENT OF MEDICAL BOARDS YESTERDAY’S ENROLMENTS OVER FIFTY The fact that the response to the campaign for recruits in the Otago area has taxed the organising resources of tho defence authorities at the Drill Hall is a clear sign that a healthy outlook towards defensive measures is being taken by men eligible to enlist. The- registration officer (Captain (R. H. Cleland) told the ‘ Star ’ to-day that persons registering even at this stage have an equal chance with recruits who applied to join earlier in the week of being selected for the special force for service overseas or within the Dominion. Arrangements are now being made for the setting "up of medical boards, some of which, will be situated in the country for the convenience of recruits a distance from the city. The medical examination of group 2 men has been completed, and the authorities are neatly ready to examine groups 3 and 4.. After the recruit has been medically and dentally examined the sheets setting out the details, together with attestation forms, are returned to the records office at the Drill Hall, and the necessary particulars entered on each individual’s card. That gives an indication of the mammoth clerical task that is being pushed ahead expeditiously.
