 Form for Exemption Claims.
 The first page of the questionnaire | contains a form for claimants of ex- emption or deferred classification temporary discharge-which groups | claims into classes in order of as- cending cogency. There are five classes in this form each of which is subdivided into divisions. Conditions described in class one, taken alone, obviously do not constitute grounds for deferred classification or exemp- tion.
 Registrants will indicate the divis- ions that describe their status by placing crosses in the columns ahead of those divisions, but not until they have answered all questions in the twelve series of questions applicable to their cases. They are not limited to the number of crosses they may make.
 The classes and divisions--indicat- ed by Arabic numerals-described by the form follow:
 Class |.
 1. Single man without dependent relatives.
 2. Married man with or without children or father of motherless chil- dren who has habitually failed to support his family.
 8. Married man dependent on wife for support.
 4. Married man with or without
