REG|STRANTS

The local exemption board yesterday
began its work of notifying all regis
trants 10 answer the QUESTIONABLE
mailed to them and to return ii to the
board. satisfactorily filled out, within
seven days. The board published the
list of the first 200 names called.
John Carlock, of the board, said il is
desired particularly to impress upon
the mind of the regstrant that on re-
ceiving the QUESTIONABLE he is not
to come to the board with il. but to go
to any lawyer in his vicinity who will
aid and instruct him in filling out the
answers. II is not expected to have
the members of the board fill out these
blanks but it is for this purpose that
the attorneys throughout the country
have volunteered their services. No
registrants are to appear before the
board now. All the board desires of
the registrant is to keep il advised of
his postoffice address and the question
naire will be mailed to him as his
number is reached.
The board is enclosing with each
QUESTIONABLE a slip containing thf
names of about forty lawyers, all of
whom have signified their willingness
to aid the registrants to fill out the
blanks 80

When Mr.. Carlock's attention was
