Want to Get Out "Vote" Volunteers to get out the "vote" on Tuesday are being sought by fhe Dauphin County Committee on Pub iif Safety, which Is co-operating with the city officials at various tasks in connection with Registration Day. Realizing that "party workers" are missing in the program for registra tion as is usual for such affairs in Harrisburg, a call for workers has been issued. T ° say e the eligible from suffer e"ects of the severe penalty attached to a failure to register is the desire of the committee, whose members realize that every man of registration age Is not thoroughly familiar with the law and may, through neglect fail to become rejr istered. Issues Call J. William Bowman,a member of the Dauphin County Committee on Pub lic Safety, in charge of this work has issued a public call for volunteers for this work, announcing that the committee Is anxious to have work ers in -every registration district in the city and county. Men familiar with the residents of their district, who desire to keep the young men informed of their duty next Tues day, may enroll for this work by telephoning to the office of the Har rlsburg Chamber of Commerce, Kun kel Building. Ministers Will Aid The ministers in Dauphin county will remind their congregations to morrow of Registration Day and ad monish the eligibles present to re member to register. Nco<l Interpreters Chairman Bowman, of the local Military Affairs committee of the State Committee of Public Safety, is sued the following request for volun teer help on Registration Day: "The Board of Registration, which will sit in the Common Council Chamber, Courthouse, desires the volunteer services of interpreters of the following languages and races: Italian, Greek. German, Polish, Rus sian-Jews, Slavish dialeots, etc. The board desires to be in a posi tion where it can use these volun teer interpreters to assist their coun trymen at the registration places. "The donation of automobiles to be available at the courthouse for carrying members of the Board of Registration tQ polling places to set tle any situations that may arise dur ing the day is especially desired. Patriotic citizens who can donate their cars for this oervice will only be asked to give three hours' service, at the end of which period another set of volunteer cars will take their places. "The services of several dozen copyists who can write a legible hand is desired at the courthouse on June 7, 8 and 9, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, to make copies of ail the registration cards. Parties who can volunteer to donate their time to this service will materially assist Dauphin county to make a good showing because these copies have to be made and sent to Washington promptly." Mr. Bowman requests anyone who can volunteer for the services to ad vise the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce. Both phones, 4120, with out delay.

Election of councilman to fill va cancy. Election of chief of police. These three very important mat ters have been before council for some time and residents are becom ing eager for action. The first matter is very important. A councilman said to-day that if the borough fathers do not take ac tion at once, the lire apparatus will arrive and after the horses have been put out of use it will be difficult to dispose of the refuse. Again, it was first thought that two trucks would be purchased, and now It is learned from an authoritative source that only one will be purchased. Where ta the additional money coming from to purchase the truck, when all the money supplied by the loan and more yet has been used in purchasing the lire apparatus? This question pre vails in many Steelton minds, and taxpayers are anxiously awaiting the outcome. There have not been any applica tions filed for the pontion as coun cilman of the Fifth ward according to Secretary Charles P. Feidt, this morning. Prominent businessmen are inquiring why council does not make efforts to secure an applicant. Although the local police depart ment is doing splendid work it is without a head and has been for several months, "it is strange that a man cannot be secured for this position, Burgess Wigfield said to day. 1 know there is one applicant for the position, and 1 am unable to say why council does not take ac tion on this application." Vetoes Ordinance Burgess Wigfleld said this morning that he had vetoed the ordinance cre ating the position- of superintendent of sewers. When asked his reasons, the burgess said: "After a thorough 'investigation and most careful con sideration, 1 am truly convinced that there is absolutely no need for creat ing such a position at this time, in asmuch as any matters of this char acter, which might arise, can be taken care of by the Water Depart ment. In view of this fact, 1 feel that it would be an imposition on the taxpayers of Steelton." The burgess also stated that he would ask council by letter to pro vide signs as required by the State . automobile law. The gist Of the letter follows: "You are no doubt aware that t he law places the speed limit through congested parts of the borough at fifteen miles per hour, and such signs should be placed at the entrance of the borough, periods of one-iiuarter of a mile, and also at the end of the borough limit. "The police department has done splendid work recently by prosecut ing several offenders and we intend to press the traffic ordinance thor oughly for the welfare of all con cerned."
