JUNE 18.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1503

LOCAL SUBDIVISIONS OF THE RESERVE.

REGULATION 42.—DISTRICT REGISTERS OF THE RESERVE.

(1) In addition to a general register of the whole of a class of the Reserve, subdivisional registers (hereinafter referred to as district registers) may be prepared in accordance with this regulation.

(2) The Minister may at any time, by order signed by him, divide New Zealand into such areas (hereinafter referred to as recruiting districts) as he thinks fit, and may from time to time revoke or vary any such order.

(3) While any such order remains in force the register of any class of the Reserve shall be divided into as many district registers as there are recruiting districts; and the Director shall enter on each district register the names of those members of the class who, to the best of his knowledge or belief, are resident in the recruiting district to which the district register relates at the date of the constitution of that district, or at any later date at which they first become members of that class.

(4) No man who has been enrolled on any district register shall thereafter be transferred to any other district register because of any change in his residence after such enrolment.

(5) All the provisions of these regulations as to a register of an entire class of the Reserve shall, so far as applicable, apply equally to each district register.

(6) The district registers may be amended from time to time by the Director for the purpose of correcting errors as to the residence of reservists, and reservists may be transferred from one district register to another accordingly; but no such error shall invalidate any entry on a district register, or confer upon any man called up for service in any armed force any right of appeal to an Appeal Board.

(7) So long as any such order establishing recruiting districts remains in force the Minister, in any warrant issued by him for the calling up of men from the Reserve for service in the armed forces, shall specify the recruiting district or districts from which they are to be so called, and the number to be so called from each district so specified. In exercise of the powers conferred by this regulation the Minister may authorize the calling up of men from any one or more recruiting districts to the exclusion of the others.

(8) On the issue of any such warrant in respect of any recruiting district the number of men therein specified in respect of that district shall be selected under Regulation 14 or Regulation 15 hereof from the men enrolled in the register of that district, and all the provisions of these regulations shall apply in the same manner in all respects as if the selection had been made from an undivided register of the entire class of the Reserve.

APPLICATION FOR ENROLMENT IN THE RESERVE.

REGULATION 43.—APPLICATION TO BE MADE FOR ENROLMENT.

(1) When the enrolment of any class of the Reserve has been proclaimed and directed by a Proclamation gazetted as aforesaid every reservist who belongs to that class (unless he has, within the period of twenty-eight days after the gazetting of the Proclamation, received from the Director a certificate of his enrolment in that class) shall forthwith after the expiry of that period (or in the case of sickness, absence from New Zealand, or other unavoidable impediment, so soon as possible thereafter) make application in writing for enrolment in that class of the Reserve.

(2) Every man who at any time after the enrolment of any class of the Reserve has been proclaimed and directed as aforesaid becomes a member of that class (whether by attaining a particular age, or by becoming resident in New Zealand, or in any other manner), unless he has, within the period of twenty-eight days after so becoming a member thereof, received from the Director a certificate of his enrolment in that class, shall forthwith after the expiry of that
