The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-06-04

is receiving considerable attention just
now by the Washington county loca
| board. That each one in those two divi
sions in this county may be sure OF get
ting the information relative 10 the mat
ter and the 20 different employments
from which they will be selected, Mrs
Mary Nyc, the clerk, has written each
registrant in either special or limited
service a letter, stating the branches
open TO induction under the present call.
There are 800 such registrants in the
state, classified as in special and limited
service, so that there should be no excuse
for Vermont being below her share in
this call.
A meeting of the board of control is
taking place to-day at Brandon. where
the members are looking over the home
for feeble minded, to which some i'm
proyements are being made. Several mat
ters, including state printing and assign
ment of rooms in the new state building,
are under consideration.

Probably it is fortunate thing for
the commanding officers at Camp Devens
that one of the Washington county reg
istrants shortened his name, but if the
officers of the company had to pronounce
his name at each roll -cal daily it is a
question how long it would take them
to commit it. This is Nicholas ID. Chris
anthanespopolus. total of 20 letters in
his last name. But in order to give the
people a fair chance when they call his
name he has reduced it to Chresanthanes,
and his name appears in that form on
the records of the Washington county
local board. He has made application
for naturalization. There he has used his
whole name, but he intends to shorten it
to a lesser number of letters when he
gets his papers. He is son OF Greece.
When he responded to the roll -call at
the railroad station ten days ago the
shorter name was used. Charles Def.
Bancroft, who is helping the registrants
ret their papers, asked him what he had
lone with the rest of his name, to which |
-hresanthanes replied that he dropped !,
