NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC AND TO REGISTRANTS.

Any person desiring to claim a deferred classification by either Local or District Board on any ground in respect of any registrant designated herein may, within seven days from the date hereof, and not later, submit such claim to this Local Board, accompanied by such affidavit evidence as such person may desire to have considered.

Such claims, either by a registrant or by another in respect of any registrant, may be submitted either by entering the same in the place provided on the first sheet of the registrant's questionnaire or by submitting such claim to this board on a duplicate of such first sheet (Form 1001-A). If it is desired to submit affidavit evidence in support of such claim and in addition to the evidence contained in the registrant's questionnaire, such affidavits must be pr par d on paper of the same size as the questionnaire, and should be responsive to the questions asked the registrant respecting the ground of such claim in the pertinent division of the questionnaire.

Section 7 of the Selective Service Regulations provides:

The process of examination and selection of registrants, under these rules and regulations, shall begin by the posting of notice in the offices of the Local Boards on Form 1002, and by mailing a questionnaire (Form 1001) to every registrant included within such posted notice, as provided in section 92 hereof; and notice of every subsequent action taken by either the Local or District Board in respect of each registrant shall be given a minute or date of such action on the classification list (Form 1000) in the office of the Local Board, and in addition to such entries, by mailing to the registrant, and in some cases to other claimants, a notice of such action.

Whenever a duty is to be performed or a period of time begins to run within which any duty is to be performed by any such registrant, or within which any right or privilege may be claimed or exercised by or in respect of any such registrant, a notice of the day upon which such duty is to be performed, or such time begins to run, shall be mailed to the registrant, and the date of such mailing of notice shall be entered opposite the name of such registrant on the classification list (Form 1000), which is always open to inspection by the public at the office of the Local Board. In addition to the mailing of such notice to registrants, notice of the disposition of claims made by other persons in respect of registrants shall be mailed to such other persons. Either the mailing of such notice or the entry of any such date in the classification list shall constitute the giving of notice to the registrant and to all concerned, and shall charge the registrant and all concerned with notice of the day upon which such duty is to be performed, or the beginning of the running of the time within which such duty must be performed or such right or privilege may be claimed, regardless of whether or not a mailed notice or questionnaire 13 actually received by the registrant or other person.

Failure by any registrant to perform any duty prescribed by the Selective Service Law or by these Rules and Regulations, at or within the time required, is a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment of one year, and may result in loss of valuable rights and immediate induction of such registrant into military service.

Failure of the registrant or any other person concerned to claim and exercise any right or privilege on the day or within the time authorized by these Rules and Regulations shall be considered a waiver of such right or privilege, and shall foreclose such person from thereafter clain ing the same, subject only to the privilege granted by these Rules and Regulations to apply for an extension of time.

All registrants and other persons are required and strictly en oined to examine from time to time said notice (Form 1002), so posted by the Local Board, and the classification list (Form 1000) upon which said dates are to be entered, in order to be informed of the time for the performance of any duty or the exercise of any right or privilege; and it is the duty of every registrant concerning whom any notice is posted, but who for some reason has not received the questionnaire or notice, as the case may be, to apply to his Local Board for a copy thereof. Failure to receive notice or questionnaire will not excuse the registrant from performing any duty within the time limit, nor shall it be in itself ground for extension of time.
