NOTICE TO RESERVISTS

TEMPORARY ENROLMENT CARDS

It is still evident from reports in the Press and from communications that have reached the Board that there is a widespread anxiety on the part cf reservists for some evidence of their enrolment in the reserve, pending the issue of certificates of enrolment. It has therefore : been decided that the Government Statistician shall acknowledge the receipt of each application, and that such acknowledgement will be a temporary proof of enrolment until it is replaced in due course by the certificate itself. It will be clearly upderstood, of course, that once the certificate is issued, the temporary acknowledgment card will entirely cease to have any value as proof of enrolment. Arrangements have been made to overtake the accumulation of applications already received, and it is hoped that within the next week or ten days every reservist who has applied for a certificate of enrolment will have received an acknowledgement card. Any reservist, therefore, who has applied for his certificate of enrolment and who does cot get an acknowledgment card within the time stated above should at once renew his application.
