 The work of arranging the card in dex and of securing canvassers has assumed huge proportions, but never theleSS the committees are making rapid progress.
 Local Plan Outlined.
 F. B. Ricketson. chairman of the committee on directing the census has outlined his plan. It consists first in canvassing the local manufacturing plants through the aid of persons con- nected with the plants. When it comes to the house to house and store and office building canvass the city is to be divided into districts. Between p and 30 canvassers- will be assigned to a district. The selections made will be of those people familiar with the dis trict which they are to canvass. One captain will be appointed for each district and he will be responsible for the work of the canvassers in his par ticular district.
 There is a serious lack of clerical assistance in arranging the card index and compiling canVasSeTS' names. The entire force of students with the fac Ilty of the commercial school were put to work on the indexing and copying Thursday, and many of them worked until late in the afternoon. One hun dred office workers who would volun- teer but part of their time could perfect these lists in a very short time, and it is hoped that the local office will come to a realization of their individual responsibility in this vices. It is being done in every city, 1 town and hamlet in this state, and Norwich is no exception
 Scouts Will Assist.
 Scout Commissioner Benjamin NJ. | Bruce has agreed to supply a list of 1 Boy Scouts 1 to IS years of age who | could take the names of those persons remaining after the canvass had been l made of the several industries in the ] town and through other mediums. | They will of course receive commits 1 sions from the governor and will do l o'clock each day after persons have re- turned to their homes from their labor l
