ENROLMENT FOR SERVICE. (Press Assn.) WELLINGTON, May 1. The enrolment of the Second Division under the National Service Emergency Regulations is expected to take place towards the end oi May, according to a statement made by Hon. R. iSemple, Minister of National Service, to-day. “Due notice will be given,” said Mr Semple, “when .married men are required to enrol, and it will then be necessary for every man of the Second Division to fill in the enrolment form regardless of whether he is registered ior social security purposes or not.” The Minister also referred to the fact that many men were under the impression that provided they registered for social security purposes and were in possession of a levy book they were automatically registered under the National Service Emergency Regulations. Some confusion had probably arisen through the faef 4,lmt when the regulations were first brought into operation last June the social security* registration forms were used as the basis for compiling the initial ballot register, which consisted of men of the First Division only. This was only adopted as a matter of expediency, and all subsequent enrolments were required to be furnished on iorm (NSI). At present only members of the First Division were enrolled and it a member of that division did not possess an enrolment certificate the onus was on him to remedy the defect.
