With the impetus al- ready .given the work by the many volunteers the central bureau expects to keep abreast of the work done by the \outside census takers and every indication.points to a successful com- pletion of the work by March 3, the date selected by the state depart- nent. The official commissions and badges arrived from Hartford this morning and were at once distributed to the workers and agents. Aide E. Burlington Schurr officially pinned the the first census agents’ badge on the coat of Mayor George A. Quigley, thus giving to his honor the distinction of not only having filled out the first census blank, but also of being the first agent “officially stamped.” More Workers on Job. At 9 o'clock this morning the fol- lowing office workers had arrived at city ,hall_and all day have been in- dustriously engaged in the routine work at headquarters: Helen M.

Yesterday, was a busy day in the New Britain factories, the census oc- cupying first place in the thoughts of men there em- ployed, Of the 17,000 forms which had been given out by 10 o’clock yes- { terday morning, it is safe to say that a third had been filled out when the 6 o’clock whistle blew, and today will show an equally good record. No refusals have been reported, but in many instances, careful explanation of tHe meaning of the census and as- surance that no pledge or obligation of any kind are involved, were re- quired by the workmen of foreign na- tionalities. Many people visited headquarters and registered there. It is Chairman Corbin’s desire that citizens who are difficult of access because of their ! business location or, residence, call ‘at | the municipal building and make their return there. It is desirable that this be done before the enumer- | ators begin their house-to-house can- vass, so that the names can be trans. ferred to the completed list before the assignments are. made. Every pos- sible precaution is being taken to pre- vent confusion or duplication of worl have already reported. ment in the bureau when Aide Vance was telephoned by his paper that the president would address congress at 1 o'clock and the work assumed a great- cr significance. In the prevailing un- there is a feeling that it and thoroughly, so that if urgent need arises, the governor may have at his command the information which the federal authorities will find alue, tisfy any demand made upon our citizens with the least possible hard- ship or disturbance to busin and home life. Tt will be well to give this matter of the census first place in thought until it is completed and the duty accomplished. At 11 o'clock yesterday a goodly number of the cards which the Voca- tional High school pupils had written had been received and the first assort- ing practically accomplished, due to having the work well in hand. The volunteers fox afternoon service found everything in order with no bustle or confusion to interfere’with the orderly prosecution of the work. Completion By March 3. The Hartford headquarters has written the New Britain Bureau urg- ing dispatch and stating that it is T (T Grape-Nuts “There’s a Reason” T Zi [ i greatly desired to have the man cen- sus complete by March 3.

Those who are in charge of the Connecticut military census are de- termined that the enrollment shall be The census-takers are see- ing to it that the inventory of the state’s resources in men includes all who live within the borders of Con necticut. In addition to this, how ever, the men at the state headquar- ters in Hartford are arranging to in- clude in the,census all Connecticut { boys who are students at ‘‘prep” schools’ or in colleges, and have se- cured catalogs of all leading colleges and “prep” schools to aid them in this work. At all colleges and schools outside the limite of the state where there are a number of Connecticut students, arrangements are being made with the school authorities .to have o6ne Connecticut boy at the school . ap-: pointed as a census-taker there, and this student will take the enrollment of all at the school whose homes are in Connecticut. These census-takers will receive commissions from the governor similar to those issued to men within the state who are taking the enrollments. The schools and colleges in the state will be included in the census, and the enrollments in them will be taken by the census-tak- ers of the towns or cities in which they are located. Every effort will be made to have this military census absolutely complete. There are many New Britain boys and young men in colleges in various states of the union and it is in this manner that their names will be en- rolled. / MRS. GILLIGAN STILL ILL.
