I landed correctly because I' walked off the field without a limp. You know, landing at 20 feet per second is equivalent to jumping off a 15-foot wall.

REGISTRATION OF WOMEN THIS MONTH Registration Will Be Compulsory But Women Will Not Be Forced, to Accept Positions. Elliot M. Little, director of, Na* tional Selective Service, said in an interview at Montreal, that al registration of women start early in September* . He emphasized that while gistration was compulsory, would not be forced to accept of­ fered positions “at this time." He indicated, however, if there were serious developments in the wax' the voluntary basis on which women enter industry might be set aside. He did not elaborate on this point. Mr, Little said the national re­ gistration would show just how’ many women were available for war industry. "We must consider each woman’s position individually in this scheme,” he said? “We must consider her re­ sponsibilities." 1 Mr. Little said it might be neces­ sary to move women to industrial areas, This would only be done if there were no other solution to this war labor problem.

' A 25 per cent saving in paper has been effected by printing the alpha­ betical section with four columns of listings to a page, instead of three as in the former issue, Subscribers can do their bit to conserve paper by contributing their hid directories J;q the bundles they prepare tor the regular salvage col­ lection. In order further to assist in saving paper, those who are mov­ ing should not forget to take their telephone directories with them, in­ stead of asking tor another at the new residence. Since -there are more than 7,800 new and changed listings in the al­ phabetical section alone of the lat­ est directory, it Is important to dis­ card the old book promptly on re­ ceipt of the new one, and carefully consult the new. one before placing calls, if the “wrong number” nuis­ ance is to be avoided. • Ho had been walking with one foot in the gutter and the bther on the pavement, and he was not get­ ting on very well.
