 Volunteer Workers Needed.
 Following is the list of registrars on whom Mayor Quigley will call to act as volunteer registering clerks on June 5. It will be absolutely neces- sary to have fully as many men pres ent as have been chosen and in mak- selections the mayor has tried to name men who would not lose their days
 pay by devoting 8 day to this work. He has named many clerks who are on a salary basis. believing that their employees will be willing to let them , of for a day to do this patriotic work. In case any men refuse there are not enough volunteer clerks to handle the situation men will have to be hired at the rate of $4 per day., but the mayor is making special plea to the patriotism of New Britain men to do this work voluntarily so that the registration in New Britain will not
 cost the city. state or nation dollar. The deputy registrars follow:
