From the Końskie Powiat Prefect (roughly similar to County Executive) to mayors under his jurisdiction, regarding conscription of those born in 1918 and older.

Reminds that each conscript must appear sober, in clean clothes and underwear, and washed. They also must bring ID cards and evidence of completed education or training.
The addressees are requested to compile of list of conscripts in their jurisdiction who do not possess the required documents and obtain such information from the schools in their districts. The list must include names, dates of birth, names of parents, type and name of the school, grade completed and when.
The mayors must investigate who of their conscripts resides outside of their jurisdiction and inform them in writing about the obligation to report for examination.
There are additional instructions regarding exemptions for the infirm, the handicapped, and those who support parents unable to work.
The mayors or their representatives must be present at the inspection.
Within two weeks of the inspection, each mayor must provide a list conscripts who did not show up and explain why.
