not difficult to fill out, for the
questions are direct and in no

THE QUESTIONABLE" Colonel
Goble declared, "is. of great inn
portance, for it gives the. board
the basic information on which
to decide in which. of the classifi-
cations. a registrant shall be
placed" s}4
Present classifications are as
follows: :. fo 1oH3 "a t
Class la: Available for military
service. (Class ! also includes
members of the armed forces, the
Coast Guard, the Coast and Geo
detic Survey or the Public Health
Service; members of reserve COM
ponents or. students taking mill
tary training.) A ...s
Class II: Deferred because OF
occupational status.
Class III: Deferred because of
dependency.
Class ~: Deferred specifically by
law or because unfit for military
service. * Is -
Class v: Over the age of liabil-
ity for military service.
The local board, Colonel Goble
made it plain, is not restricted
to information in the question
naire. The registrant's employer,
or his dependents, may submit in
formation, and he himself may
appear before the local board,
either at his request or on order
of the board. The board may call
on any reliable source for inform

must be reduced to written form
SO that it may be placed in his
record.
Ten Days To Appeal
After the registrant is classi-

ification. If he believes his classi-
fication unfair, he has ten days in
which to appeal, from the date OF
mailing of the notice. The board
of appeal may keep him in his
original classification or change il
to another one.
After the local board studies
all the facts it has gathered con-
corning a registrant, it decides the
classification in which he is plac-
ed. Should the need for men fol
the armed services again arise
