Having bees sssessed asd registered, the elector Lac ut!sed a!! the requirements. Voters is the country, districts are sot required to xegister, but hero each elector must appta? is. pcroon before the registrar. Mrs. Walter S.

"The assessment took place with a minimum of effort by the women," said Mrs. Thomson, "but I fear many wo men will have to be prodded to go to the polls and register. Registration re quires a personal visit td the registrar, and some women, I know, will think they are not capable of this." CAVEN NAMES CHIEF CLERK 1 J.
