Uncle Sam Champion Counter
| Task of Tabulating Millions of Card Records of |
 194O Census Nearly Completed
By RUTH TRAPPE Staff Writer, Waterbury Democrat Washington Service Bureau

The gigantic task of producing and tabulating 131,669,275 card rec ords of the Census of 1940 is now nearly completed, although a small army of workers are still engaged in the work. Punched in key posi- tions, the cards are placed in elec- trically operated counting machines and a rapi dcount made of the popu- lation by sex, age groups, marital status, employment, unemployment, residence, state of birth, nativity, race, etc.
 In three hundred years the popu- lation of the United States has grown from 25,000 in 1640, to 131,- 669, ,275 in 1940. The population es- inmates prior to the taking of the first census in 1790 were far from accurate. Population was roughly estimated at 80,000 in 1860; 500,000 in 1721; 100000 in l743 and 2,945,- % in 178.
 The taking of the First Census in 179 brought home to each citizen the practical operation and influence of the newly adopted Constitution Of the United States. It was the be- ginning of a series of distinctly Fed- eral operations, recurring decenially, and increasing constantly in import ance and in statistical value, which uquestionably have exerted great influence in unifying the States and demonstrating their community of interests.

AVERILL SETTLES
 AGE CONTROVERSY
Men 2l Since Last October l6 Not Obliged to Regis-
 ter for Service

Men who have become 21 years of age since October 16, 1940, are not required for Selective Service train ing unless or until another registra- ton day Is proclaimed by the presi- dent. Nevertheless, they can volun- teer.
 This announcement was made to day by Colonel Ernest L. Averill, di- rector of Selective Service for the state of Connecticut, because of numerous inquiries being received at state headquarters and by local boards.
 Director Averill pointed out that the presidents proclamation speci- f1cally designated October 16, 194O, as the date for the first registra- ton under the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940," and that the Act provides for subsequent reg istrations only at the call of the president. Likewise, the act and proc lamation were specific in limiting the first registration on October 16,
 
 l94O, to men between the ages of q and 36 years on that date.
 The law is clear, therefore," he said. that any man who was not 2l years of age on October 16, 194O, will not be required to register until the president calls for another registra- tion' However, any male citizen or declarant alien between the ages of l8 and 36 years may volunteer for Selective Service training, unless he IS registrant who has received his order to report for induction"
 On the other hand, Director Av- erill pointed out, a registrant who has passed the age of 36 years since october 16, 1940, remains liable for Selective Service training.

RUBBISH SYSTEM
 AGAIN ATTACKED
Health Dept's Suggestion Fails to Please Commit-
 tee; Bus Service Scored
Washington Hill

The Rubbish Removal Committee held a very interesting meeting at the Community House last night, Chairman John Dzick presided, members of the various Community clubs serving on this committee, are anything but pleased with the thought of new dumps being opened in various parts of the city, which is the remedy the Health Depart ment is making to take care of this nuisance.
 One member from each Commun- ity Club will attend the private hearing of the Mayors Committee working on this subject, which is schedule to meet March 27th, in the Mayors reception room, in the City Hall.
 A great many residents up here on the Hill, particularly those who find 1t necessary to use the Sylvan avenue bus line are finding fault with the service, some people seem to think we should have a fifteen minute schedule, others would be satisfied if they were given extra busses during the hours when most folks are coming home from work and could have seat, which they pay for, instead of "a strap to hang on to-" Of course, 1t does seem as though if these disgruntled patrons of the Connecticut Company would get in touch with the Community Club and work hand in hand, some- thing definite might be accomplish ed along those lines.
 Congratulations are in line for Joseph P. Donahue and the Mrs. over the visit from the stork, new daughter 1t was for the Donahues, born at St. Mary's hospital, March 18th. Another good Democrat, eh, Joe2

 Leonard Streets Basis

Settlement of title to property at the corner of Bank and South Leonard streets is the basis for the civil action Daniel J. McGrath of Waterbury filed today in Superior Court afainst the widow, heirs, rep resentatives, and creditors of the late James Horrigan.
 The defendants claim an interest in the property involved by virtue of a Certificate of Foreclosure, but this legal document, claims MT. McGrath, is defective since it does not sufficiently specify and describe the mortgage foreclosed.
 The court is asked to hear the several claims made, to determine the rights of the parties involved, and render judgment settling title to the property.
 Attorney William B. Fitzgerald represents the plaintiff.
