Marital Status : Selecting agents should satisfy themselves 
through careful interviewing of each applicant and his parents or al¬ 
lottee that he is unmarried. In some instances, further interviewing 
of neighbors or other persons acquainted with the applicant will be 
desirable. In case of doubt, a check with official marriage records 
of the community may be desirable. 
Mot in regular attendance at school or on vacation from 
school : Verify through principal of school last attended. County 
School Superintendent, or other school authorities. 
In good physical condition : Observe the physical condition 
of each applicant very carefully during interview. If there is doubt 
about his physical fitness, the selecting agent may be able to arrange 
for a preliminary physical examination. 
In some States and communities, selecting agencies have de¬ 
veloped cooperative working arrangements with local health authorities 
or private physicians who make preliminary physical examination of all 
applicants considered for selection. This serves as a check upon the 
observation of the selecting agent; it makes possible minor corrections 
before the date of official examination by CCC doctors for acceptance 
into the Corps; it assures the local agents that they are sending for¬ 
ward physically fit young men, few of whom, if any, will be rejected 
for physical reasons at the CCC acceptance station. 
Not on probation or parole: has never been convicted of an 
offense punishable by death or a term exceeding one year : Verify 
through court records. 
The interview with each applicant and his parents or allot¬ 
tee should be carefully planned to bring out, any previous involvements 
with police or court authorities. Relationships with schools and com¬ 
munity organizations may be explored to advantage in determining these 
facts. 
Not a law enforcement officer : Verify through local law en¬ 
forcement authorities such as police, sheriff, Justice of the Peace. 
Not a member of the National Guard : Verify through Command¬ 
ing officer of local National Guard unit. 
Previous service : Verify through: 
CCC records of the local selecting agency. 
Discharge certificate or certificates of the applicant. 
Correspondence with State CCC Selecting Agency office. 
Dependents : If an applicant indicates that he has depend¬ 
ents, he must make an allotment to them, as provided by law. If he 
claims to have no dependents, it is important tliat his statements be 
checked and double checked carefully.
