NO EXTENSION FOR
TEMPORARY EXEMPTIONS

The district exemption board at
Great Falls has sent out the following
letter to the local boards under its
jurisdiction:
Repeated evidence has come to the
attention of this board that conscripts
who have been granted temporary
exemption on agricultural and indus
trial grounds because of insufficient
showing to entitle them to absolute
exemption have, since the granting of
said temporary exemption, intensified
their activities and enlarged upon
their operations so as to bring them
selves within the limitations pre-
scribed by this board as ground for
exemption.
Concerning the foregoing the board
desires to give public notice that it
will not recognize or consider the eff
fects of such increased activity on the
part of any claimant for exemption,
and that cases will not be reopened
and exemptions allowed to those who
have been given temporary exemp-
tions because of the fact that they
have so increased their endeavors or
pursuits.
So far as this board is concerned
the status of the above mentioned
persons remains as established at the
time of filing the original claim for
exemption.
Temporary exemptions were grant
ed such persons for the purpose of
allowing them to put their business
affairs in such shape as they desired
so as to enable them to report for
military service upon the expiration
of the temporary exemption. If such
persons have not, at the expiration
period, concluded such preparation
they must suffer the disadvantage
thereby incurred. Temporary eXemp-
tions will not be extended.
Certificates of exemption or dis
charge require by their terms that
persons exempted or discharged con-
ditionally, or for limited time to
report, and it is the duty of such per-
sons to report to the local board that
calls such persons for service, and to
notify the district board that issued
the certificate, Immediately upon the
expiration of the time specified, or
whenever the conditions entitled such
person to such certificate ceases to
