News. - Exemption Tribunals in all parts of Canada The local exemption tribunals will be constituted with the least delay possible, consistent with the selection of representative individuals to compose them, and the instruction of the members in their duties. There will be more than one thousand of such tribunals throughout Canada, each consisting of two members, one of whom will be nominated by a Joint Committee of Parliament, and the other by one of the Judges of the existing Courts. Every effort will be made by the wide distribution of tribunals, and by provision where necessary for their sitting in more than one place, to minimise the inconvenience to which men will be put in obtaining the disposition of their cases. A Registrar will be appointed in each Province, who will be named in the proclamation and to whom enquiries may be addressed. Each Provincial Registrar will transmit to the appropriate tribunal the appli- in advance of the sit- cations for exemption which have been submitted A ‘-_--:‘-A LA (ml-GAGA +‘fi- CEUUIIS IUI CACIJIFLAULL "AAAVDA on“ v v ~vvâ€"â€" -â€"_._,_. - V tings, and men who have sent these in will not be required to attend the tribunals until notified to do so. Other applicants should attend per- sonally on the tribunal without notice. How to report for service Men who do not desire to claim exemption will report to the military authorities for service either by mail or in person at any time after the issue of the proolamation._ Forms of report by mail will be found in all ___:“ LA Lâ€"AnA-n:“.fa cf‘.

Thus no advantage will be gained by delaying or disadvantage incurred by prompt report for service on the part of those who do not intend to apply for exemption. Facilities for immediate medical examination Immediately upon the issue of the proclamation, medical boards will sit at every mobilization centre for the examination of men who report for service or who, subject to their right within the time limited to apply for exemption, desire to have their physical fitness determined in order to allay any doubt as to their physical condition, or to know definitely and in advance whether there is a possibility of their services being required. Certificates of physical unfitness issued by these Medical Boards will be accepted without any further investigation by exemption tribunals when they sit. Men found physically fit who have not reported for service may nevertheless apply for exemption on any of the prescribed grounds, including even their physical condition if dissatisfied with the Medical Board’s conclusion. Notice to join the colors As reinforcements are required, notice to report to the nearest mobil- ization centre will be given rem time to time to the men found liable and passed as fit for service.
