Some Suggestions Made To
Public By Selective Service

The following suggestions are
made by selective service officials:
Do register the day you become
IL years of age. If the date falls
on Sunday, register either on Sat-
urday or Monday. Late regis
trants are subject to delinquent
proceedings.
Don't register before you are Is
you will be found out sooner
or later, and unnecessary expense
and time is involved to no advan-
tage to anyone.
Do check with the Local Draft
Board before you criticize a reg
istrant's classification. If the
Draft Board is in the wrong, they
are always glad to rectify an err
ror.
Do keep the Draft Board advis-
ed of your present address. When
any correspondence is returned
to the Draft Board because of
failure to do this, registrants are
listed as Delinquents.
Don't leave your job if you have
been given a 2-B, IA, 2-B(F), or
IA CD classification without
asking the Local Board for per-
mission to make the change If
registrants leave job for which
they were given an occupational
classification, they are Immediate
ly classified in a class available
for service.
Don't write anonymous letters
to the Draft Board if you wish any
action taken. All unsigned let
tiers are delegated to the waste
basket, regardless of the informa-
ton contained therein.
i Do remember that the age
groups (18-25) (26-29) are criti-
cal. To qualify for a deferment
| if in either of these age groups a
registrant must be irreplaceable
and indispensable to a job. Very
few of us are indispensable. Our
