It cites a six year old's cheeky remark about the verse more blessed to give.

The city and county coordinate a nationwide order requiring females aged 14 and over who are natives or subjects of Germany to register within ten working days. Registration sites are Central Police Headquarters for city residents and the post office for those in Bexar County.
