INFORMATION
TO REGISTER
FOR SERVICE
Full Directions Given For Regis
trants Under The Selective
Service System
EIGHT CONDITIONS ARE
EXPLAINED BY BOARD

BY request, the Democrat" pub
fishes the following information for
registrants under the Selective Ser
vice Act as a public service:
l. Any person who is delinquent
under the Selective Service Act is
subject to a fine or Imprisonment.
2. Any person is delinquent who
fails to do any act required of him
by the law within the allotted time.
8. Any person is a delinquent who
fails to do any of the following:
a. Return QUESTIONABLE properly
filled out within the time limit enter
ed on the face of the QUESTIONABLE.
b. Inform the local board of any
change of address.
C. Report for physical examination as
ordered.
d. Appear before the Board as or
dered.
e. Appear for induction as ordered.
A. Special attention is called to the
fact that it makes no difference UNI
der the law that the registrant has
not received the communication adj
dressed to him if it has been sent to
the address recorded with the Local
Board according to the latter's re-
cords. When the Local Board sends
out questionnaires it posts on it's Of
flee door and at the Court House door
a notice to registrants that question
naires within certain numbers have
been mailed. It is thereupon the duty
of any registrant having number
to which the notice indicates ques-
tionnaire has been sent to look out
for it and if he does not receive it
shortly to inquire of the local board
for it and at the post office where
he receives the mail in order that he
may not be a delinquent. The same
thing applies to notices for induction.
The law presumes each registrant to
know his number and places upon
him the duty of receiving the COM
munication addressed to him. This
is not generally understood, but is
very important to registrants who
desire to obey to law.
5. Any registrant or other person
who wishes to discuss the classified
ton of a registrant should consult
with the appeal agent, who is Mr.. l..
Paul Ewell, Pocomoke City, Mary
land. Do not request a member of
the Local Board to discuss the CLASH
fication of any registrant as they are
not permitted to discuss classified
tons except in meetings of the Board.
6. Any person who receives a ques-
tionnaire should seek the assistance
of a member of the Advisory Board
unless the registrant is absolutely
sure he has filled out the question
naire properly. Notaries Public and
other officers authorized to admins
ter oaths are requested not to admin
lister the oath on any QUESTIONABLE
unless the latter is properly filled out.
Services of members of the Advisory
Board are free and gladly given, as
are those of officers administering
oaths under the law.
z. Any person seeking information
should apply to the main office of
the Local Board at Snow Hill, or to
the Appeal Agent, or any member of
the Local Board or any member of
the Advisory Board.
8. The Local Board is requesting
local papers to publish weekly the mum
bers of those to whom questionnaires
have been sent, in the hope of reduc-
ing the number of delinquents. Ex-
anime your local paper weekly to see
if your QUESTIONABLE has been mailed
or whether you have been mailed your
notice of induction. If the paper says
such communication has been mailed
to you and you haven't received it,
then the law requires you to make
inquiry.
