THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1940 use of Embarrassment Is Removed by Officials rt From National Registry Dominion Wants to Know . Capabilities of Citizens Rather Than "Personal Secrets" : Ottawa, July 30 -- A canvass of the human resources of the nation and not g "Priscilla Pry" investiga- tion into the personal affairs of the people of Canada, is the object of the National Registration which commences Aug. 19, Mr. Justice Davis, deputy minister of the De- partment of National War Service, emphasized. The government is interested in the actual "simple" status of the registron' at the moment he or she fills ov :egistration card, and not in sect. of their "past." For that reason .udge -Davis feels that no question which must be answered need be embarrassing, The best example of what Mr. Davis means by "simple status" is the case of the woman from an On. tario village who wrote explaining that, although for many years she had lived as a married woman and had children, she never actually had been married. "By all means," Mr. Davis ruled, | "let her describe herself on the reg- istration form as 'married'." Then there is the case of a young Toronto zusiness man whose father served a long prison term for sen- sational defalcations. Inevitably the cloud descended also upon the son. He assumed a new name and has conducted business under that name for years. Use Regular Name Mr. Davis' answer is, "By all means let him register under his adopted name. That, actually, is his name and how on earth would we find him under any other name if we needed his services." On the contrary, a man might be penalized for registering under any other name than that by which he is customarily known. Far more women than men have written the department expressing their fear of 'embarrassing ques- tions." And chief among these fears appears to be the possible necessity of revealing 'common law" mar- riages. For instance, g "common law" wife who has been deserted by her "partner" put has continued to be known as Mrs. Jones will register @s "Mrs. Jones" and not under her spinster name. Judge Davis is taking a very real- fstic view of the purpose of the reg- istration. What he wants is an ex. sot picture of the facts. The ques- tionnaire has been prepared after careful study by experts at the Do- minion Bureau of Statistics, and registrars are being supplied with explanations of the object and in- tention of each question so they can be guided in obtaining an adequte answer, Want Data Handy It is explained that, while at first glance it may appear silly to require registration of the aged and infirm, the questionnaire is designed to give information which might be requir- ed in such g remote possibility as the evacuation of such persons from cities, Copies of the registration forms of all men of military age (19 to 45) are sent to the Department of De- fense for classification there. And all the forms will go to the Bureau of Statistics for particular classifi- cation as to occupational qualifica- tion. It will be possible, for instance, to determine in an instant whether there is an unemployed truck driver in Porquis Junction. Every effort is being made at Ottawa to eliminate the "embarrass- ment factor" which might prejudice the production of accurate records. Registrars have been instructed that they should make every effort to provide, in each registration centre, a private booth where a registrant, who may dislike answering questions orally in the presence of others, may prepare his or her form for sub- misison to the deputy registrar. Prefer Oral Answers However, the department officials frankly admit they prefer oral an- swers so that forms may be filled out in the consistent handwriting of the registrar rather than in the variety of handwriting which would result if each person filled in the form. However, the private booths are to be established and registrars, their assistants, deputies and volun- teer workers are being cautioned to use the utmost discretion. With 8,- 000,000 persons expected to answer the list of questions it is inevitable that ® multitude of individual is- sues shall arise and in these special cases decisions are to be left to the discretion of the chief registrar in each electoral district. OF MISSING FOUR ONLY ONE FOUND Peterboro, July 30 -- Of four per- sons who have disappeared from their homes in Peterboro in the past two weeks, only one has been found so far.
