An ensign is a distinguishing
flag. 1 or banner, particularly a na-
tional standard, naval flag or the
colors of a regiment.
The ensign of the United States,
both military and naval, is the
Stars and Stripes.
Originally an ensign in the army
and navy was an officer who car-
ried ’the ensign or national colors.

one-third more wool than is produced an-

A large staff of volunteer work-
ers gathered Monday and Tuesday
at the Chamber of Commerce of-
fice to register these people. There
- was a momentary flurry of regis-
trations Monday morning, but
since then volunteers have drifted
in one or two at a time. The of-
fice force has been reduced to
one-third, and still it is idle most
of the time.
Less than a hundred had regis-
tered Tuesday, although 2,500 or
more were expected. Why?
WE CERTAINLY WOULDN'T
know. We do know that the ex-
. tremely cold weather has hindered
people from rural districts coming
to town to register, and it is true
that the number of townspeople on
the streets has been reduced by the
icy blasts from the north.
But. we also know hundreds of
people have passed the Chamber
of Commerce building the past two
days, with no thought of going in-
side and registering. Not, we hope,
because they do hot want to help,
but because they just forget about
it, or think there is plenty of time
to register/
ANOTHER REASON THAT has
been suggested to us why people
haye not registered, is the possi-
bility that some are misinformed.
It was suggested that people may-
think they are signing up for
work that would interfere with
their jobs, or take them away from
their homes into war zones.
That is not the purpose of this
registration. It is strictly for
HOME defense, and home means

Furthermore, evry person who
volunteers, tells what hours he
CANNOT work at home defense,
and what hours and what days a
week he can be of service.
It is all purely voluntary, and
no one can be called for service
except during such time as he des-
ignates on his registration card.
It is entirely spossible in case of
an air raid or enemy attack that
one might be required to work at
-firefighting. or first aid during
working hours. But in case of
such an attack, working hours
wouldn’t mean anything, anyhow.
WE HOPE PEOPLE will take
this‘matter more seriously and
register at once for this service.
The crew was to stay on duty to-
day to see if people were coming
in sufficient numbers to register.
Otherwise the registration was to
be halted. We hope our people do
not fail Uncle Sam in this matter,
especially since it is for their own
protection.
