given him, and he is instructed to go and get the affidavits filled out and sworn to before an officer qualified to administer oaths. Afhdavits must be brought in and filed with the board within two days. Within three days thereafter-unless for some good and sufficient reason 1t is found he de- serves more time-the board will de- eide his case. Should either the reg istrant or the public be dissatisfied with the decision of the board, the regiStrant or the appeal agent of the gov -nment, Neil C. Clark, will appeal the case to District Board No l, sic ting at Phoenix.
 If the registrant wishes to claim exemption on the grounds he is em- ployed in an occupation necessary to the conduct of the war or to the af- fairs of the United States, he is given a elaim blank for presentation to the district board, which decides all pc titions for exemption on industrial grounds
 Must Show Up Slackers.
 The local board received an illum- mating telegram from Governor Campbell yesterday It contains the following instructions from Provost Marshal General Enoch H. Crowder, in charge of the operation of the draft law:
 "The names of all registered
 men are on list, arranged in the
 order in which they will be called
 for military service. Whenever
 any registered person imposes up-
 on the local board and improperly
 secures 9 certihcation of exemp-
 ton or discharge, he advances the
 time of call of all other uncalled
 persons or the list. For this req
 son, every registered person, and
 to some extent, every person in
 the community is more or less di-
 rectly interested in seeing that
 the true facts are brought to the
 attention of the government.
 For every local board a person
 has been designated, who will re-
 ceive information of such cases
 and take appeals to the district
 board or inform the local board.
 For this reason, the public is en-
 titled to know the grounds upon which exemption or discharge are
 being asked by registrants. Local boards should therefore be in structed immediately, to make
 available to the press from day to
 day, the names of persons claim
 ing exemption and discharges, the
 ground upon which such claims are based, and in general, the number of cases that are being disposed of by the boards from day to day. This instruction does not apply, of course, to discharges
 on the ground of physical dis
 qualification"
 Hence, the Following: The above instructions from Gen eral Crowder are supplemented by in structions from Governor Campbell | to make public through the press the cases of appeal for exemption. The ! board has received a number of ap- plications for exemption, already. One chap of good large proportions and generally healthy appearance, said i yesterday he wanted out on the ground of 'depcndables' at home - wife, children and so forth" A member of the board told him if he . had any "dcpendables" at home, it | was a good thing for him.
