You'd be sore because you would

you still rated deferment because of
that dependent.
That might happen, but If you
just stayed on being mad and did
nothing about 1t you'd be foolish as

The thing you shouldn't forget
about appealing ID that you have
only 10 days In which to do it, after
your local board mails you your

There are some exceptions TO that
To-day rule. If you registered some

the date your classification notice
was mailed to you, you were located
in Alaska. Hawaii, Puerto Rico or
the Virgin Islands, you have 80 days

other way, too. If you are registered

mentioned above) you have 60 days
to appeal.
There's one other exception to the
Today rule. If your local board is
convinced that you didn't UNDER
stand you could appeal or didn't t
know about the Today rule, or if it
decides that through circumstances
beyond your control you could not
appeal within the Today limit, then
it can hear your appeal at any time.
You're not the only person who
can appeal from your classification.
Any person who claims to be your
dependent can appeal in your be-
half (or his, for that natter, be-
cause they would suffer # you were
drafted.
So can any person who files q
written request for your occupa-
tional deferment before you are
classified. That, of course, would
be your employer.
Thus, If your employer asks for
your occupational deferment and 1t
is turned down, he can appeal with

Nobody can appeal against a "de-

board and say, But I've got bad

There is good deal more to say
