LOCAL BOARDS DUTIES
AFTER CLASSIFICATION

Governor Carl f. Nilliken has re-
ceived from Provost Marshal General
r. IL. CroWder, through the office of
Adjutant Geo. Mel. Presson. the pro-
vost marshal of Maine, a lengthy telc-
graphic order regarding the future du-
ties of the local exemption boards,
after the completion of the classifica-
ton work. 1t says among other things:
Some $4,000 citizens compose these
boards and it was recognized early that
the government must adopt some pol
icy which would enable these men to
assist it in its hours of need, vet not
take unfair advantage of their patriot
ism to their business and financial
loss. To this end the Regulations call
ing for classification were planned and
put into effect. With this work COM
pleted the local boards have finished
the great task. They will be asked to
supervise only the drawing of Army
units from their respective communi-
ties. They will not be required TO be
present at the actual physical exami-
nations. The Regulations require that
they approve or disapprove the result
of such examinations as shown by the
physicians record and recommends :
ton. To tighten the demands on the
time of board members they may au-
thorize the chief clerk to sign docu-
Inents in the name of the board
The main duty OF local boards hence
forth will be the classification Of
men whose status may change TO such
a degree as to entitle them to be
a ,Stn
or TO classify such men as may either
nave tailed to register or who may
hereafter be required to register.
Mobilization duties will largely be me-
chanical. When large de,acnnen,s ar,
entraining it is not too mucn to ask
the local board to be represented by
one member. These occasions are
usually public functions and the pres
ence OF representative of the gov
eminent is desired.
From what has been said it will ba
seen that, when the classification Is

more onefous than that imposed on
members of town and city councils and
the IKE. From time to time specific
tasks will be imposed recurring more
time and effort as for instance. the
possible registration and classification
or men who have attained the age Of q
since June 5. 1917.
Inc local and district boards are
ahout to complete the erection of an
army building machine, the like of
Whlch IS unknown in the world history.

future and this country never again

such as could be measured in money
True, few have complained but the
great majority have toiled on patiently
and periodically through trying Or
deals, changing Regulations ana con-
luSlng details and the result or the
work stands out today as q monument
TO their toll. History will find q way TO
