'11�ktI2 f 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 ether 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 rases. 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- cations for exemption which have been submitted in advance of the sit- 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 _ t 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 proclamation. Forms of report by mail will be found 'email post offices, and, Iike applications for exemption; will be transmittedliree of postage. Early report advantageous No man who reports for service will; although he may be medically examined and passed as fit, be required to go into camp or join a battalion until after a day fixed by the proclamation sufficiently late to permit of the disposition by the local tribunals of most, if not all, of the apptica- tior fee r- •.«tntinn which may come before them, Thus no advantage will be Santee, i+tr, or disadvantage incurred by prompt report for service on the part of those who do not intend to apply for exemption. •-ilities for immediate medical examination immeeiately 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 fribun'his 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 riport to the nearest ntobil- Izatioti centre will be given from time to time to the then found liable and passed as fit for service. Disobedience of stitch notice will render the offender liable to punishment, but punishment fir failure to report for military service, or to report subsequently for duty when called upon; Will be imposed ordinarily by the civil magistrates; offenders, however; Will remain liable for the performance of their sr ilitary duties notwith- standing tiny civil punishtneni: which may be imposed and will be liable to military punishment in cases in which civil proceedings are not taken. Watch for the Proclamation Notice of the day appointed for the making of a claim for exemption or for report for military service will be published as widely as passible., but, as no petsonnl notice can be given until the individuals called out have so reported themselves or claimed exemption, teen possibly con- erned are warned to inform themselves with regard to the day fixed, time neglect may involve the loss by them of important privileges rind rights. cams. y�.
