caII to Reaistsr Eridax.

Mayor Charles A. Gates has issued a proclamation urging all people over 14 years to register next Friday for the thrift stamp campaign.
 Chairman Valentine L. Murphy re- ceived a telegram Monday from F. A. Nanderlip, the national chairman of the thrift stamp campaign, stating that he expected to hear June 29 that Will limantic had gone over the top in the stamp campaign. To do this. $163 000 will have to be pledged in the drive this week.
 Up to month or so ago, Williman- tic was among the leading Connecti- cut cities in the amount of stamps owned by the residents, but there was a big drop last month which caused the per capita sales to fall. If Wilii- mantle is to do as she has done in all other patriotic loans. and drives, over $150000 will have to be pledged at the registration June 2S The government officials plan that so per cent. of the people will register, that is all over .14 years old. which would give about S,ooS for this city, so the average pledge would have to be about $20 to put Willimantic where it belongs.
 The mayor asks each person not to forget to register Friday at the Lib erty cottage or authorize a canvasser to do the registering.
