VERNONIA EAGLE Thursday, Dec. 20, 1945 GI’s Urged to Contact Board Information from th« Columbia county selective service board at St. Helens indicates that many returned veterans are not re porting to the draft board that they have been discharged from the service. This last report of servicemen to the board is one required by law and when re ceiving the discharge the service man is informed of this duty and that it must be done within 10 days after being separated from the service. It is not necessary to make the report to the man’s local board. The report can be made to any board and is necessary 9 whether a man volunteered or was drafted and especially in- eludes those who enlisted at 17 and so are not registered. Purpose of the report is that the board wishes to give the serviceman his new class ifica- tion card because the draft law is still in effect and the card, which will bear the classification I-C, must be carried at all times. Other benefits which may be derived from the report back are that the board will notify the man’s former employer if he wishes his old job back and give him such other aid as is possible under the law. The veteran is also urged to have his discharge recorded for his own protection.
