Registrants in the 45-to-65-year old groups are not affected by the order, and Director Hawkins said there are actually only a handful of men ia the State who can be con sidered as delinquent, according to Selective Service regulations, for failure to keep in touch with their local boards. Nevertheless, he em phasized that in the present emer gency no man will be allowed to avoid military responsibility merely because of failure to keep his local 1 board advised of his whereabouts. It has boen determined, there fore, Director Hawkins said, to re quire each registrant subject to the order not only to have his Regis tration Certificates (Form 2) in his personal possession but also to hav< his Classification Card (Form 571 with him at all times to show that he bas been classified by his local board. /• ’..

(2) If he belongs to an age group required to register as long Ms six months ago, exclusive of the 45-to-65-year-old group, he should have his Classification Card (Form 57) as well as his Registration Card in his possession, not later than February 1. Those subject to the new require ment who are not in compliance with it or not certain whether they are in compliance, Director Hawkins said should: (1) Register at the nearest local board if they are not registered, and obtain their Registration Certificate (Form 2.) (2) Go to or write to their local board if they have not received their Classification Card (Form 57) and be certain that their local board knows their proper address where mail will reach them at all times. (3) If they have received a Classification Card (Form 57), and have lost it, they should so notify their local boards, requesting a du plicate. Any man who is not certain of the address of his local board should go to the nearest local board and ask that a communication from him be referred to the board having juris diction over the area which he dc •cribed as his place of residence at the time he registered, the Director laid.
