Armstrong, state director of selective service, declared last week. Hundreds at letters are flowing into state and national headquarter* every day. Director Armstrong saidt which must be referred to the propet local boards for answers because only local boards can act unon the cpses of individual registrants until they have been classified. He said: "While both state and national headquarters are sympathetic with each individual case, the selective service system is thorouerhlv decentralized and the local board with which he is registered must have classified a reeristrart for selection or deferment before either state or national headquarters could act upon his case. That is basic in the selective training and service act and the regulation." Need Rubber Stamps ? Order at Hi# DatadOMC* CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS by Congressman Chauncey W. Reed "V* The Democrats "At Sea" Again Democratic leaders were frantic when it was announced that the President, who is on a fishing trip, would be unable to attend the Jackson Day Dinner in the nation's Capital. While it is our feeling that the Chief Executive has been "at Sea" for eight years, his sailing on the briny deep was no laughing matter to the head men of the Democratic Party. Here's the reason: When the Jackson Day Dinner to be held in the nation's Capital was arranged it was naturally presumed that the President would attend. With this thought in mind, numerous jobholders and jobseekers laid $100 on the line so that they could see and be seen by the President. When it was announced that the President would not return from his fishing trip in time to attend the dinner cancellations of reservations came in bundles and for a while it seemed that the banquet hall would resemble a deserted village. Realising that something must be done the Democratic National Committee stepped in and announced a postponement of the local dinner. Apparently it is to be held at some later <iarte so that the Chief Rsc-cutive will he present in person to cast a paternal glance over the banquet hall and bestow his fatherly blessing on those good disciples of democracy who have deemed it worthwhile to lay a C-note on the line in order to be within range of the President's vision. Cherry Blossom Time Again According to latest reports the Anunal Cherry Blossom Festival will be held in the nation's Capital on April 12 and 13. Special events of the Festival will be the crowning of the Cherry Blossom Queen, a water pageant on the Tidal Basin, a Cherry Blossom Ball to be held on the night of April 12, and a parade by infantry regiments stationed near Washington. The Queen will be crowned April 12 in ceremonies to be held on the Tidal Basin. The same program will be repeated the following day with the exception of the coronation ceremonies. Following the coronation of the Queen on April 12, she and her princesses will be carried across the western portion of the Tidal Basin on a barge. Students are to be selected from Washington schools to serve as princesses in the Queen's Court. Did We Win The Revolutionary War? Believe it or not the King of England still has the right, theoretically, to review legal cases decided in the District of Columbia. On March 17th the House passed a bill which, if eventually enacted into law, will repeal an obsolete Section of the District of Columbia Code. This section of the Code is actually an old British Statute which had inadvertently included in the 1901 revision of the Code of Laws of the District of Columbia. It was of course actually a part of the law of Virginia prior to the Revolutionary War but has had no force or effect since that time. After the House had passed the bill which would repeal this strange statute several pessimistic Congressmen remarked that perhaps after all, the House had made an idle gesture and that the Statute should not have been repealed because in the near future it might be necessary to re-enact it. RINGWOOD CHURCH NOTES At 9:30 a. m. next Sunday Rev. J. I* McKelvey will conduct the Worship Service at the Ringwood Methodist church and will deliver his annual Palm Sunday message.

Everyone is asked to bring his jar with his Easter offering to the church this Sunday. Parents, it is better to bring your children to these services than to send them.
