HERE'S THE FORM Service wives who have been critical of the arrangements by which they register as electors will have special interest in an announcement setting out the procedure to be included in the 1979 list.
Dissatisfaction was voiced over several aspects of the system which came into operation this year. and it is known that the names of mam" wives did not appear on the register. The new announcementvmakes’ it clear that forms are now to be sent direct from ships and establishments to the wives. some of whom said that they never received them from their husbands. '
