It will De noted from the above figures that practically every candi- date received votes on all tickets, this having apparently come about from the belief of many of the voters that a vote cast for any candidate on any ticket would go to his credit This was not correct, however, and the votes cast for a candidate other than on his respective ticket availed the candidate nothing. A total of 654 votes were cast during the day. almost half of the voters being wo- men. The city election will be held on WednesdaY. January Sth.

Thomas McMahon and Col. Burt B. Bloom, incumbent, came out vic torious in the somewhat spirited scrap for the nomination of chief of police at the municipal primaries which took place yesterday after noon, these nominations having been won on the democratic and republi- can tickets respectively. Morris Gold water received the nomination for mayor on the democratic ticket, hay ing defeated w. A. Davidson and A. B. Peach by good-sized vote. Coun- cilman Roy Smith was chosen by the republicans to oppose Mir. Goldwater, Smith having no organized oppisitiop to his candidacy
 The most spectacular contest was that for the police chief nominations Bloom was opposed on his own tic ket by Frank Andrews, and succeed ed in defeating the latter by major ity of 3l.
 On the democratic side, there were three candidates for the nominations for councilmen, Ray Vyne, O. F. Orthel and A. w. Davis, Vyne and Davis boiled the highest vote and thereby eliminated MT. Orthel who is at present holding the office for which he was making the race.
 Thomas Gatfield secured one of the republican nominations for council man, and Roy Anderson and Dixon Fagerberg boiled tie vote, leaving the choice of the second councilman to be settled by some subsequent time However, it is stated that Mir Anderson will refuse to accept the nomination, and if that is the case. Mir .Gatfield will have as his running mate Mir Fagerbcrg without further controversy.
 The nOn-partisan vote proved to be a rather Sparsely settled affair. the highest number of votes cast under that emblem being s which were credited to their lone candidate, John

The national governments attitude towards men of army draft age who are in the idle class or who are en- gagged in non productive employment or occupation is defined in pam pflet { of instructions which has been mailed to Connecticut's local exemption boards by the governors office. With the choice of helping to win the war by working or fighting, registrants to whom Provost Marshal General Crow ] ders edict applies have only until July to think it oyer and act The pub licity committee of the Connecticut state council of defense, at the request l of the governors office, makes public this article explaining the work or fight" order.
 Citizens to Assist
 To begin with the United States government is depending upon all citi- zens to assist in the enforcement of the new amendments to the selective service law, Cooperation of citizens has been encouraged, for instance, in the reporting of German spies and plotters The government says at this time that it is the duty of all citizens not alone those connected with the administration of the selective service law, to report to the nearest local board all facts which may come to their knowledge concerning regis trants who are idle or who are en- gagged in non productive employment.
 Most important to the local boards to the registrart who is not apathetic about his relation to the government, and lastly to the employer is the off, cal definition of non productive occu- patton or employment That regis trants in deferred classes must render effective assistance to the nation either by the type of his work or by entering the military service is the essence of the work or fight" regulations Ex- planation is made that in the present emergency Is it not possible for the nation to extend the protection of de- ferred classification to registrants whose work is of the non productive type.

 "There is a great demand for lapor in all productive occupations and eIn : ploynents and especially in agrlcul- ture and other necessary industries.

impossible because of the difficulty which acceptance of small lots would entail in the way of inspection. Sup plies of this kind must be purchased in reasonably large units and must be uniform as to ingredients and con- tainers., With shipping space precious, this uniformity is doubly important in order that the greatest possible quantity may be packed in a given
 space and that the keeping quality of goods may insure their arrival in good condition.
 However, every additional million
 jars or cans that are filed by house wives for home use will release an identical quantity of commercially canned goods for export There will also be saved the labor, space on freight cars and cost of transporta- tion that would mount up if factory

 Local Board 1t, Norwich:
 When the new quota, bill apportion . ing quotas on the strength of Class 1 'was in committee and before the house for discussion the strongest argument made against the bill was the charge of unfairness in basing quotas on Class l because of the In- equality of the work of the boards showing wide variance in strength of Class l among counties and other juf- isdictions where conditions were sub stantially equal.
 This argument was met by the state n1ent that the war department pro posed taking corrective procedure na t;onwide in the application for the purpose of removing this inequality where it was not justified by unequal conditions.
 Reports received from the various states indicate national average of 2S.7 per cent Of registrsnts classified in Class 1. -e.' Reports. from your. board indicate gross Class 1 percentage. Above 20 per cent but below 7s1 per cent.
 The war department has reached the conclusion that the corrective procedure can be made. more effective by revision by the local boards witf the hearty and active assistance oi government appeal agents and mem. bers of legal advisory boards. 1 Government appeal agents and le. | gal advisory boards will be instructed l to- assist you in the work of re- exam. ming questionnaires and other rec. ords.
