Grounds on Which Exemption OF
Discharge is Granted. How to
File Claims.

Inefe are one or more district boards
having appellate jurisdiction over a
number of local boards and having
original jurisdiction Of claims for
exemption on industrial grounds. If
you intend to make a claim on in
dustrial grounds, including agricul-
ture, learn what district board to
apply to.
Every board has numbered the
cards in it's jurisdiction with red
ink in a series running from l to the
number representing the total num-
ber of cards in it's jurisdiction: Lists
showing the names of persons in the
jurisdiction of each board and the
red ink number of each card are
open to inspection at the office of
each board.
Inspect the list and inform your
self of your red ink serial number.
These red ink numbers are drawn
by lot to determine the order in
which registered persons are called
by the various local boards. AS soon
as the drawing is complete lists
showing the order in Which these red
ink numbers are drawn will be pub
lished in the press, and will be post
ed at the office of each local board.
Go to your local board and find out
the order in which you stand for CALL
AS soon as quotas are assigned to
each State and each board, each
board will call upon persons whose
cards are in it's jurisdiction instruct
ing them to present themselves for
examination. This call will be posted
at the office of the local board and
the papers will be requested to print
it. A notice will also be mailed to
YOU, but the posting of the list at
the office of the board will be deem
ed sufficient notice to charge you
with the duty Of presenting yourself.
The law therefore makes it your
duty to inform yourself when you
are called. The mailing is for your
convenience, but if the letter never
breaches you, you cannot make that
an excuse.
Watch the lists at the office of
YOUR board and see when you are cal:
led for examination.
You must report for physical ex-
animation on the day named in your
call.
If you are physically disqualified
the board will give you certificate
which will explain to you what your
further duties are.
If you are found physically quail
fed and file a claim for exemption
within days after your call you
will be given 10 days after filing
YOUR claim of exemption to file proof
in support of your claim for exemp-
tion.
If you are found physically quail
fed and file no claim for exemption,
or if you do not appear for physical
examination, your name will be post
ed to- the district board as one who
was called for military service and
was not exempted or discharged. On
the eight day after call, Of within
two days thereafter, copies Of :he
list of persons SO posted to the dis
trict boards will be given to the
press with request for publication,
| will be posted in a place at the office
of the local board accessible to the
public view, and notice will be mail
ed to you at the address on your re-
gistration card.
Therefore watch the notices post
ed in the office of the board about
ten days after the day you were cal
led and make arrangements for the
prompt receipt of mail.

of the industry in which you are en-
gagged can be decided by local
board.
Whether you file a claim of ex-
emption or not, you must present
yourself for physical examination on
the day named in the notice.

called is mailed and posted you have
seven days in which you may file a
