thority in carrying out the building

$4,000, 900 for acquiring a great

Officials are anxious that local
boards make it clear that no question
of exemption of any registered man
for any other cause than physical dis.
ability or dependent relatives can be
taken up before the local boards. The
whole matter of industrial exemptions
is left to the superior boards one of

the registrant is engaged in an
industry classified as vital to the con-

examination by his local board, found
fit for military duty and certified to
the superior board. After that applica-

sible. The registrant or his employer
may file necessary affidavits with the
superior board seeking exemption and
the case will be heard promptly.
