Important Task. ClasslficatiOns

Guiding January 9th, Questionnaires
will be mailed to the Registrants in
Delaware county by the Local Board
Of Exemption. 1t being the plan to
distribute 1-20 of the Questionnaires
each working day beginning Decem-
ber 18th. The Local Board of Exemp-
tioh are working day and night to
make the proper classification and
prepare report to the District Board
which will finally determine the In
dustrial and Agricultural Deferred
Classifications. The law requires that
each QUESTIONABLE shall be filled out
by the Registrant and returned to the
Local Board of Exemption within z
working days from date Of mailing,
Sundays and holidays excluded. To
entitle the Registrant to his proper
classification it Is necessary that the
QUESTIONABLE shall be filled out in
strict accordance with the plan indi-
Gated by the form prepared by the
Government, and should correctly
show the exact condition and status
OF each individual. So much depends
upon the proper execution of the
QUESTIONABLE that the greatest care
must be taken to make a full and
proper showing, otherwise the Regis
trant may fail of the classification
to which he is entitled. Every true
patriot wishes to do his full duty
and his full patriotic duty In
this regard is met by honestly trying
to obtain for himself proper classi-
ocation, neither higher nor lower than
heets the exact need of the Govern
hent so far as he and his interests
re- concerned. This has been recog-
txed as somewhat difficult task
1hen required to make showing on q
let form such as is furnished in the
hQuestionnaire, and to meet the need,
the American Bar association imme-
diately rendered and pledged the aid
Of the legal profession Of the states
to act without compensation to aid
Registrants and the Government in
the matter of Counsel and aid in exc
cution of the Questionnaires and the
members of the Bar almost without
exception have assented and respond
ed to that pledge. The entire body OF
lawyers, members of Delaware county
Bar and many men skilled in eXecu-
ton of written instruments OF legal
or contractural nature have rendered
their services and taken the oath re-
auired to enable them to act as aids
to Registrants. They are considering
the needs of the Registrant Of first
Importance, putting aside their own
business to meet that need, without
fee or expense to the Registrant, con-
sidering that in so doing they are do
ing but bit in the line of their patri-
otic duty and scorning to make gain
from the need of another in rendering
his services to the Government.
Registrants should remember they
need not hesitate to seek the aid OF
these men who will gladly render
them such service as they can, without
fee or price. To accommodate the
need of the Registrant so far as pos
sible, choice of assistants has been
made from those residing in the diff
ferent localities of the county to
which any registrant may 60 without
going to the county seat, but to make
somewhat of an even distribution OF
the work it has been arranged that
assignments of Registrants may be
made by the chairman of the Board
of Exemption, Mr.. ]. ]. Pentony,
Sheriff, this is to avoid over crowding
any of the assistants.
Consequently if any Registrant de-
sires aid and is in doubt where to
obtain it If he will call the Sheriff
by phone, tell the sheriff his need and
his preference, if any, the Sheriff Will
give him an assignment where he can
get good and quick service.
The Registrants are not required
to go to any of the designated assist
ant Associate Members Of the Legal
Advisory Board, they Of course, are
at liberty to fill out blanks themselves
or get assistance where they can, but
for their own good and to save un7
necessary work of the Local Board OF
Exemption, which at best is over
worked, the Registrants are urged to
obtain the services of an Associate
Member of the Legal Board, as these
men have made study of the matter
and can render more efficient service
than almost any man not so skilled.
Those Registrants who are within
easy reach of the County Seat are re-
auested to come to the Court House
and obtain an assignment for aid in
making out their Questionnaires A
force of men are working at the Court
/. Hs1se and many Associate Members
Legal Advisory Board are also within
easy reach.
