NATIONAL SERVICE REGISTER
COMPILATION NEARLY COMPLETE 900,000 FORMS FILLED 1H [1 j eu United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, July 4. The compilation of the first part of the national service register from the 900,000 forms that have been filled in by adults in New Zealand and delivered to the National Service Department by the Post Office is nearly finished. The register is the basis on which the ballot for conscription can be conducted. Several hundred men and women have been working day and night at the task for about six weeks and by about the middle of next week it will be finished except for the rounding up of stragglers. Nearly everybody left enrolment until the last moment, and then the department received a deluge of forms from which it is only now completing the extraction of the information immediately required.
