Stanley S. Gwillim, appointed hv the exemption board to get physicians and l clerks, announced this morning that his efforts had met with most encour- aging success and there is reason to believe that tke entire three hundred candidates will be given physical ex- animation before tomorrow night Because of the large number of doc- tors who have volunteered their serv- ices, MT. Gwtllim said today that about six more clerks can be used. He seeks the services of men over thirty-one and under twenty-one years of age to aid the physicians in the clerical work attending the examina- tions. Men who can give but part of the day to the task will be welcomed, as they can serve to relieve other volunteers.
 Drs. Rocks and Mann of New Brit ain have agreed to attend to the mat ter of providing scales and other equipment required by the physicians. Dr. Mann will bring apparatus for eye tests and he will specialize in testing the sight of the candidates. They have arranged to spend the en- tire day in the town building, where the examinations will be given.
 Many of the other doctors have a f0 syixr 1,1o to local work, while others will be able to serve but a few hours.
 The exemption board, which is made up of Herbert Knox Smith of Pennington, B. I. Miller of Avon, and Dr. T. G. O'Connell of Bristol, will be present during the day to xpass on claims for exemption and)to super wise the work of examining the candi- dates. The examinations will begin in the morning at 8:30, continuing until noon. After brief recess for lunch con, the physicians and clerks will re- turn at 130 and from that time on will continue at their respective tasks until all the young men who present themselves are passed on as to their physical fitness for service in Uncle Sam's new army.
 New Britain will furnish the follow ing doctors: Peck, Robinson, Marsh, Volkenheim, Mann. Reeks, Purney, O'Connell and Kelly. From Bristol these doctors will come: Crockett, Griswold, sanborn, Upson, Robbins, Dewey, Kent, Hanrihan and O'Con- nell Southington will be represented by Doctors Plummer, Bundy and Deg nan, and T. H. Burns, the latter serv- ing as clerk. Berlin will supply two clerks and Doctors Griswold, Cunning and Hodgson, while Doctors Frost Tanner and Moody of Plainville have volunteered their services for the day. Dr. Bull is away on his vacation and he will be the only Plainville physi- elan not taking part in the examina- ton of the candidates.
 The following local men have agreed to aid in the clerical work: J. B. Lamb, N. E. Clark, F. T. Wheel 1 er Wesley Kavanaugh, Rev. R. H. l Burton, Rev. J. w. Denton, Rev. w. 1 A. Case. c. H. Newton, S. P. Williams l and George Miller. MT. Gwillim also | has tentative promises from some ! others but he believes that there will | be work for at least six more as there ] seemingly will be plenty of physicians on hand to speed up the work.
 Plainville men summoned to ap- pear before the board were ready to- day to present themselves. The in dications were this morning that a large number of them will seek exemption because of dependents, while several will not have to be physically examined providing they refuse to fight on the grounds that they are aliens.
