,' Perth Divisions.
MANY VISITORS
• AMONG REGISTRANTS
•
Seaforth citizens took the advice
tendered them, by , registration offic-
ials and registered early, with the re-
sult that there was ne crowding nor
waiting in the registration booths in
town. . More than half of the town
registered on the first day.
The orderly manner 'in which the
registration proceeded was due in no
small part /o the help given by the
Voluntary asestant edeputies in the
various registration stations.
In all 1,448 people from 16 years of
age On registered in Seafarth. While
there are but 1,309 persons eligible
to vote in the town, the increase is
explained by the addition of those in
the 16-21 age group and . by the feet,
that many visitors registered her. ,
The Huron -Perth organization head-
ed. be W. L. Whyte, which arrenged
far voluntary assistance, functioned
throughout ,the three den without
hitch, and in no division was a shert-
age of 'belp repo -ted. In most' divi-
sions. at least one voluntary aisist-
ant was an duty throughout the per-
iod of registration. ,The setup was' so
arranged . that if a,..sud de.n rushy occur-
red additional voluntary assistants
could be called be the deputy.
•••••Division--wit--the largest registra-
tions viiere atHensell, Hayfield, and
Grand -Bend. •The former; far purpos-
es of an election,- is ocinsid,ered a split
poll which registration regulations
did not permit, whils. at the two lat-
ter divisions large numbers, of sum-
mer visitors and (tampers gwelled the
registrants.
. •
Registrants found little difficulty in
answering the questions. On ..ecca;
sion registrars were required to go --
into lengthy explanations., but on the
'hole the people had studied the
forms previously and were familiar
with the information required.,
Commencing with Thursday persons
who failed to register during the past
'three days will have to apply at the
post office to comply with the regula-
tions.
Postal officials ,have received in
structions governing' future registra-
tions and the postmaster in each Cen-
