Many registrants are reporting to their local boards, requesting classification classi-fication or asking that lost Classification Classifi-cation Cards be duplicated. However, How-ever, Director Rich says he believes there are still a few who have failed fail-ed to get in touch with their boards because of carelessness or negligence. Registrants in the 45-to-65-year-old group are not affected by the order, and Director Rich said there are actually only a handful of men In the State who can be considered as delinquent, according to Selective' Selec-tive' Service regulations, for failure lations, are liable under the law to' a maximum fine of $10,000, or five years In prison, or both. So that each registrant In Utah will comply with the order requiring requir-ing Dossesslon of - Classification Cards as well as Registration Cer tificates, Director Rich said that 1 1) If he is subject to registration he should be registered and have his Registration Certificate (Form 2) in his possession. (2) If he belongs to an age group reauired to register as long as six months ago, exclusive of the 45-to- 65-vear-old group, he should have his Classification Card (Form 57) as well as his Registration Card in his possession, not later than February 1.

I could see the Jap fire from a beach on Guadalcanal so I started toward an island to the north. As I swam I could feel explosions, but I didn't know what they were. It felt like barbed wire snapping and like rifle bullets hitting nearby. "I swam for an hour, and then began be-gan to hit 20 licks and rest 20 licks alternately.
