FIREMAN'S JOB
 ONE OF SERVICE
Fire Board Chairman Ad-
 dresses New AppOintees < to Local Force

The fire commission appointed Thomas J. O'Dea and James F. Blayin members of the regular force of the fire department at a special meeting yesterday afternoon. The men, appointed to fill vacancies caused by death and dismissal, were instructed to report for duty on May 1.
 Frank J. Healey, chairman of the board, put the new members to oath, first as appointees to the call- man force, and then as ape pointees to the regular force.
 Previous to the formal appoint ment, Chairman Healey instructed the men concerning the nature of their duties. His warning, which summarizes in an impressive manner the role of the firemen in the com- munity, follows:
 "The job is one of service to the last degree" he said. "The minute you accept the badge you are no longer an individual but public servant devoted to the safe- ty of the public. You must reg ulate your own lives and those of your families so that they can live within your salary and yet your selves be ready to be on duty "A hours or more at time.
 "You must be neat and clean and procure uniforms as the chief prescribes. You must purchase certain articles of equipment which are necessary for your safety so as to insure your safe return to your families. You will have 7-day week, alternating day and night and every other Sum doy you will have to work "A hours a day. You must submit to the discipline of the depart ment. If you are not willing to do so you will not be retained. If you make a mistep you will bring discredit not only to the depart n,ent but to those who sponsored your appointment.
 "The job is yours as long as you live or until you cause yourselves to be severed by your own acts"

2 MAJOR CHANGES
 INLAWS PROPOSED
(Continued from Page D

modern registration system IS Tn effect a person is admitted as an elector as soon as he can qualify. The commission believes that Connecti- cut should adopt a similar mode of procedure"
 A constitutional amendment was suggested to remedy the present situation in larger communities, where, the commission said, only a week or so is allowed to make new voters.
 Paper Ballots AS regards paper ballots: The commission said 1t received considerable complaint from vari- ous sources regarding difficulties of voters in interpreting paper ballots, resulting in thousands of rejected ballots as improperly marked" at each election.
 The report said the voter "often does not know how many candidates he is entitled to vote for given of- flee" a great deal of confusion ex- ists over the various ways in which to split ticket; many voters placed their checks on the wrong side of the candidates names and were credit ed with voting for someone else; ticket splitting" was misunder- stood both by voters and election officials.
 As result, the commission sugest- ed new type of paper ballot which would among other things: Give definite instruction to the voter as to how many candidates he can vote for; clarify the split" ticket situation; eliminate the wrong side" vote; make 1t easy to vote straight ticket; and elim- mates unintention failure to vote for some candidate for an office to which more than one candidate Is to be elected.
 New Type Ballots
 Diagrams of alternate types of paper ballots were included in the report for consideration of legisla- tors.
 The commission voted to classify all communities in the state &C., cording to three electoral divisions.
 All communities over 24,000 pop ulation would be in class A, between 5000 and 24,000 in class B, and be- low 5000 in class 0.
 "The towns, cities and boroughs in this state," desirable to stop call- ing them towns, cities and boroughs in the election laws and to define them as municipalities"
 Since the problems of municipali- ties varied, the report continued, a classification was necessary.
 Political parties also were defined in three classifications - major parties, minor parties and municipal parties.
 Commission Members
 Members of the commission, be- sides Pape:
 Miss Mary 0. Coughltn, Mrs. Arthur V. R. Hilton, Albert E. Waugh, Andrew G. Nystrom, Patrick R. Whalen and Professor E. E. Schattschneider.
