registered man has appeared before
his local board and received honor
able discharge, have been received in
a limited supply by the County Board.

until the claims are finally passed on
by the District Board. These buttons

stating that the wearer has been ex-
empted from service in the selectve
army. The buttons are to take the
place of registration cards in show

sity Of the man at home.
