The figure, which fell below the most conservative esti- mates, came as a great surprise to ration officials. About 5000 more books were issued during the first registration.

He said 115,000 books had been placed at registration Lead quarters and when but a small por- ton were returned 1t was believed the registration figure would ap- proarh that number. However, num- erous books have been received since and others have been removed from issuance forms where they had been placed unnoticed, thereby bringing about a balance of figures.
 Family declaration forms totaled 37,38o and these have been placed on file by members of the food panel, 1t was reported. The forms will serve as 8 background of infor- nation on consumers, it was an- nounced when plans were made to hold all declarations.
 Also coming as Q surprise was the number of excess cans of coffee de- clared. Although officials expected Q large figure after the first few thou sands of forms studies receal num- erous "excess" declarations, the final figure of 8,l85 was higher than any estimate ventured.
 Ration coupons were removed for 28, ,268 excess" units of processed foods and 4,73s others remain to be taken from future rations. MT. Paur stated many persons declared ex" cesses over the total number of cou. pons that can be removed from the new book.

is highly pleased that 79 per cent of the nurses have returned their cards in this national inventory which is now drawing to 8 close.

 Of the 6,893 cards returned, we learn that over 800 nurses have left the state-139 stated they are in military service-and 263 cards were returned unclaimed.
 As the state and the nation must know the strength of It's nurse power, in case of local or national emergency or disaster, she urged the remaining 2l per cent to return their cards at once. The cards are self.addressed and may be sent postage free.
 Both active and inactive nurses should respond and any nurse who has not received O survey card should request one today from the Special Agent, Margaret M. Stock, 262 Asylum street, Hartford.
 The inventory Is conducted on c strictly volunteer basis, having no connection with any national draft, either existent or projected. Tn. formation must be tabulated iI1me. diateiy by the Special Agent of the U. s. Public Health Service and sent to Washington, D. c.
 In case of emergency or disaster, Miss Stack stated, 1t iS essential that We know where to locate every available nurse. even though She q not practicing her profession at taii time. It Is imperative that every registered nurse return her card.
