      Men who receive these questionnaires are cautioned to have them filled out correctly and returned to the local draft board within five days after receipt.

      In Bay City, this includes every lawyer. These are Judge John Corbett, Judge F. H. Jones, Judge A. Harris, County Attorney Peden, Davant and Davant, J. P. Wilkinson, G. P. Hardy, Jr., C. A.
