MOST REGISTER
HflTH LOCAL BOARD
Calling attention to the fact
that failure to. register is a viola
tion of law and makes the delin
quent liable to penalty, John L.
McCormick, Alaska State Direc
tor of Selective Service today
outlined registration require
ments under the Universal Milit
ary Training and Service Act, as
amended, which he said he be
lieved were not thoroughly un
derstood by all of the general
public.
*ytie obligation to register,”
McCormick said, “is a continuing
obligation and must be fulfilled.
The obligation to register is im
posed by the Act on every male
citizen and every other male per- '
son in the United States between
'file ages of 18 and 26, with the
general exception of members of
the armed forces on active duty
and certain aliens."
The young man who becomes
18 is required to register at a
local board office Within five
days of the date of his 18th
birthday, McCormick explained,
Iwt if he happens to be away
from home he need not return;
he may register at the nearest
local board convenient to him,
or contact the Selective Service
registrar in his community, and
the record will be sent to the
local board having jurisdiction.
McCormick said he could net
overemphasize the importance of
the registrant giving his perman
ent home address as his place, of
residence when he registers at a
hoard away from home, since the
place of residence which he gives
when registering determines the
local board which will always
have jurisdiction over him.
“-Any person who changes from
w status which did not require
his registration to a status which
does require it must register
promptly to be within 'the law,”

FOR TOURIST SEASON
Hang on to your hat! Here they
come!
Who?
Alaska visitors in 1957. Already
there have been booked some
5,300 travelers to Alaska on pre
paid, all-inclusive tours through
Arctic Alaska Tours, Charles B.
West told the Alaska Visitors As
sociation last week. He stressed
that this figure does not include
independent travelers who arc
not on tours, highway travelers,
and others who will book later.
Travel interest in Alaska is
running high. The Juneau AVA
office has answered 7,366 inquir
ies since January. More than half
of them expressed interest in all
of Alaska but nearly 700 asked
for information on the Alaska
highway.
The greatest number of inquir
ies have come from California
which has led with the excep
tion of Ohio which took the lead
one week. New York has been
among the top six states, usually
placing second. Illinois and
Pennsylvania are running well.
Fifteen states and Canada have
been among the top six.
Most Alaska towns are prepar
ing to receive the visitors. Homer
Seldovia has an attractive area
tour this year. Week end bus
tours from Anchorage to Seward
are being offered. The Fairbanks
Chamber of Commerce is work
ing on a log cabin to be used as
a hospitality center. A new ferry
boat “Chilkat,,v is scheduled to
go into Lynn-Canal service in
early June.
GRANDMA OROWTHERS SAYS:
“Drive carefully on Memorial
Day.” (It’s her birthday and she
wants to see you alive and smil
ing the next day.)
