SeIectees Must Fill
Out Occupot.ionol
QUESTIONABLE

Persons registered III the third
registration may expect to receive
for completion within a short time
DSS Form 31l. Occupational Cues
.1nnaire. State Director E. NJ Bier
Icy said today.
This form is a QUESTIONABLE pro-
mulgated by the Selective Service
System for the purpose of making
an occupational inventory Of all
persons now or hereafter to be reg
istered under the draft law. The
data so gathered on the present en-
plovment or activities of registrants
will be disseminated to qualified
employment agencies as we'll as to
he different branches of the Selec-
tive Service System and to the Ma
tional Roster of Scientific and Spe-
cialized Personnel and will be used
in connection with the war produc-
ton program outlined by the Pres
ident and also to locate persons
with certain professional and scien-
tific qualifications, Colonel Bierley
stated
In addition to giving his occupa-
ton. the registrant will be required
to furnish further information as
to his present employment status,
that is, whether he is now working,
is connected with a government
work project, is now idle, or dis
abled, does not desire work etc,
his dependency status and his mar
tial status, and there is adequate
space provided for the reglstrant
to set forth any special talents or
capabilities he may possess, that is,
whether he can practice more than
one profession and whether or not
he can operate any tools or ma
chimes, etc. He is also asked to
state the job for which he considers
himself best fitted and the job for
which he considers himself next
best fitted. This may or may not
be the job at which he is now en-
| ployed
When the form Is mailed out to
each individual registrant, he will
be required by law to fill it out and
return it to the local board within
| ten days, and failure to do SO will
be considered as failure to comply
with the Selective Service law and
the defaulting registrant will be
subject to the penalties imposed by
the draft law for failure to comply
with any of its provisions, Director
Bierley stressed.
These forms have not been re-
ceived in the local board offices as
yet, but it is anticipated that they
will be received in the very i'm
mediate future and will then be i'm
mediately sent out to the regis
trants.

About this time of the year the

excitement of these activities will
begin-picnics, sneak days, signing

commencement. But in spite OF the
thrill of excitement cones the

every Senior should ask and truth
fully answer three questions-Whadt
