Brown, Treas. These Men Will Help You Decide .Are you liable to be selected for service under the Military Service Mt? The answer to this question is being made readily available for you. Remember that the first class to be called includes only men between the ages of 20 and 34, both inclusive, who are unmarried or widowers with- out children, those married after July 6, 1917, being deemed single for the purposes of the Act. Medical Boards are now being establishedugout hro hCanada.These t a Boards will examine, free of charge and obligation, all men who wish to be examined as to their physical fitness for military service. They will tell you in a very short time whether your physical condition absolves you from the call or makes you liable for selection. It is important that you obtain this information as soon as possible. A certificate of unfitness from a Medical Board will secure for you freedom from responsibility under the Military Service Act from any Exemp- tion Tribunal. A certificate of fitness will not preclude an appeal for exemption on any ground. In order that you may be able to lafuture , certainty,visit plan witha Medical Board as soon as possible and find out if you are liable to be selected. Your family and your employer are interested as well as yourself.
