Douglas County Sets 14 Day Card Replacement Push
The Douglas county selective service office expects 500 to 600 requests for registration or classification cards or both as February 14 approaches. Men 18 to 45 must carry both cards by then and most applicants say they lost their originals. Bruce Cameron says processing each written notarized application will take at least ten minutes, equaling two weeks of one clerk’s work. The office will also process other boards’ registrants, boosted by ordnance plant workers and University of Baker and Haskell students. Cameron suggests sealing cards in cellophane to keep them clean.
