Take care of your registration card
and keep it where you can lay your
hands on it at any time. You might
need it some time to prove that you
are not a "slacker" and that you did
not fail to register. Carry it with
you. If you lose your card, apply to
the registration board which has the
record of your registration, with
proof that your card has been lost,
and secure a duplicate card. This will
be some trouble, but it may save you
good deal more of very embarrass-
ing trouble.
