Only Three Applicants For Police Volunteers
Police Chief Anthony J. Ferrara appealed for volunteers for auxiliary police, noting only three applicants since Sunday. He said about 100 more men are needed for defense emergency duty and that the town could draft volunteers if necessary. He added 125 special constables exist, with at least 90 on watch or special duty. Volunteers may register at police headquarters day or night. He saw little advantage in reassigning regular reserve members between plants, but would do so if required.
