G. R. DOMINION OF NEW ZEALAND WAR CENSUS. By proclamation issued under the National Registration Act, 1915, Every Male resident of New Zealand between the ages of 17 and 60, is required to register 'not later than Tuesday, 9 th November, 1915. Schedules for registration are obtainable at all Post Offices throughout the Dominion. For the convenience of the public the Offices of Registrars of Births, Deaths, and Marriages in the four Chief Centres will be open continuously (Sundays excepted) from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the registration period (26th October to 9th November, 1915) for the purpose of affording assistance in the filling up of the schedules to any person desiring it. It has also been arranged that Postal Officers at Post Offices throughout the Dominion, during ordinary office hours, will also, on application, help any persons desirous of assisting in filling up the schedules. The obligation to register is a personal one. The fact that a form has not been addressed to or received by any person does not absolve him from responsibility to register. Any person liable to register who refuses, fails, or neglects to do so will be prosecuted. (BY ORDER) MALCOLM FRASER, Government Statistician. Wellington, October 21, 1915.
