 Volunteer for Service.
 Following a conference between First Selectman Johnson and Town Clerk R. c. Usher held this morning a telegram was sent to the adjutant general. advising him that all prepara- tions have been made for the register ing of young men between the ages of 21 and 30. inclusive, for selective con- scription on June 5. The work will be done in Plainville without expense to the, government, patriotic citizens having volunteered to assist the regis- tration board in recording the names and other desired information regard ing eligibles who respond to the presi- dents proclamation.
 The government has decided to pay $4 to each man serving with the regis tration board for the services he ren- ders on that day but a nationwide effort is being made to get the work done without expense to Uncle Sam.
 In Plainville several men will be needed to serve as clerks as there will be considerable writing in connection with the filling out the blanks for those obliged to register.
 The board of registration will con- sist of First Selectman Johnson, Town Clerk Usher and Registrars Newell and Cady. Among those who have volunteered their aid in making the registration are Frank T. Wheeler, Frederick Bullen, Oliver W. Robert son. Joseph N. McKernan, Clarence Anderson. Peter N. Prior, Charles R. Sherman. Charles R. Clark, pr. l.. H. Frost and N. E. Clark.
 John Petnato and Constable Philip Marine have offered to serve as inter- preters for the Italian eligibles.
 Dr. Frost has also signified his willingness to serve as examining physician for the board whom the wedding out process is begun, the gov ernment proposing to take for service only those who are physically fit and are without dependents.
 During the conference this morning plans were discussed for spreading in- formation regarding registration day among the employees of the quarries in town. There are a number of Italians and Portuguese working at the crushers and while most of them are subjects of their native countries and in all probability will not be con- scripted they are obliged under the law to register, providing they have passed their twenty-first birthday and are not yet thirty-one. The opinion seems to prevail among some of them that by registering they leave them selves liable to call for service and for that reason there Is fear that they may attempt to evade their duty and consequently become anenable to punishment through their ignorance.
 Town Clerk Usher has received 375 Blanks for use in registering. MT. Usher believes that the estimate of 15O given as the number of men who will be required to register is by far too low He thinks that there are ap- proximately $500 people living in the town and passing his conclusions on the report of the census bureau that 1 ten per cent of the population are males between the ages of 21 and 31. he predicts that more than 300 will be ] obliged to register. Of this number ! there will be many foreigners and wen l with dependents who will be exempt l from the draft and an estimate of the l number who will be listed as eligibles l after the weeding process is completed | is practically impossible at this time. 1
