Board Will Now
Take Up Appeals
Application For Exemption to Be Up
Before County Board Heavy
Responsibility Attached
to This Work
According to County Clerk (.'. It.
DeLap, member of tho local exemp
tion board, thU body will take up tho
matter of painting upon tho npplica
tlona for exemption filed with them
within the next day or two.
The responsibility of this matter la
felt very keenly by members of the
board, and although tho Instructions
from tho authorltU8 uro most ex
plicit for the Issuance of exemptions
or dlschurgo, thero is still a heavy
responsibility devolved, nnd tho ut
most consideration will ho oxeulsod,
Tho fact that when thoy exempt some
one who for various n'nsons they
think should b excused, their action
takes lomu one elso from his homo
ami putH him In tho field, makes the
task very difficult.
In the matter of dependents. It Is
believed that the hoard will not be In.
ell nod to excuse a married man with
out children unless It Is shown that
tlm wlfo Is totally unitblo to care
for herself and will become a burden
upon th community It left nlono.
Ah tho names of fortyseven men
liavo already been sent In to head
quarters from Klamath County, In
cluding tho thirty-five who passed
without asking exemption nnd the
eloven who did not appear for exam
ination and wore thereby automatic
ally taken Into tho service, It Is not
believed that tho remainder will be
called out Immediately, as the first
quota for Klamath County was only
forty men.
