These regulations require that the
records of each Registration be filed
away separately, and In this record
will be the qneatlonnalre of every res-
Istrant together with all other record
pertaining to the registrant, which In-
cludes all of the old record that waa
made up before the auestlnnn.tr* pi«n
was instituted. This Includes such
records as claims for exemption, ap-
peals, physical examinations, all cor-
respondence pertaining to the regla-
trant etc.
Those registrants who were in-
ducted and thereby did not submit a
questionnaire, will be assigned one and
all his record placed with It. The gov-
ernment has been all the time and to
very particular that none of this rec-
ord be added to or taken from, realiz-
ing that this record in an Industrial,
commercial, and economical way, to
unparalleled and ls very particular
that lt all be preserved.
A very close check on all delin-
quents and desertes is required. A
record of these two classes of regis-
trants has been kept by both the Local
Board and at State Headquarters. The
records will now be compared in or-
der that no registrant be erroneously
held as such, and none who are de-
linquent or Deserter be allowed to ee-
cape. Delinquents are those who
failed to report for physical examina-
tion or failed to submit a questionnaire
if expected to do so, or failed to reg-
ister. Deserters are those who failed
to report for entralnment or deserted
after he had been Inducted.
The Government expects to spare no
effort in apprehending and puntohing
