Families Asked to Meet Census Taker Halfway Scope of the 1930 Survey Requires Answers to About Twenty Five Questions Washington Meet the census en umerator who comes to your door courteously and answer his or her questions willingly, i3 the plea of the Director of the Census. The Census taking gets under way April 2. If the woman in the home and the census enumerator meet each other halfway, the success of the fifteenth decennial census of the United States will be assured, he says. When the forefathers first started answering questions put to them by the census enumerator in 1790, they had only to tell their names, ad dresses, number and sex of children and number of slaves. Now a repre sentative of each family will answer about 25 questions, among them queries about unemployment and their radio sets. Over 100,000 men and women are being employed in taking the census, under the direc tion of 574 supervisors. It sounds simple to ask a few ques tions and write down the answers but is it? The Census Bureau has found it necessary to issue a 50-page book of instructions for enumerators and reinforces this by oral teaching. The law prescribes penalties for re fusing to answer and for giving false answers, and it also imposes penal ties upon the enumerator for pub lishing information that may come into his possession because of his position. Census Starts Anril 2 For more than a year about 200 clerks and draftsmen have been working at the Census Bureau, pre paring and securing more than 7000 city and county maps. Selection of questions is the re sult of much study by officials of the Department of Commerce, trained statisticians and other experts in cen sus work. Each ha3 a strong reason behind it. The Bureau had to make definite decisions as to what a farm is, what a iamiiy is ana otner simi lar questions. The following ques tions will be asked of each person: 1. Your name. 2. Your relationship to the fam ly (whether the head of family, wife. son. daughter, or uncle, etc.). 3. Whether your home is owntd or rented. 4. The estimaetd value of your home, if owned, or the monthly rent al, if rented. 5. Is there a radio set in your home? 6. Do you live on a farm? 7. What is your sex? 8. What is your color or race 9.

Are you able to speak Eng- ish? 21. If you are a gainful worker, what is your occupation? 22. In what industry are you em ployed? 23. Are you an employer, em ployee, or working on your own ac count? 24. "Were you actually at work yesterday? 25. Are you a veteran of the Uni ted States military or naval forces, and if so, in what war or expedition did you serve? If you answered "No" to question 24, you will be asked whether you have a job and are merely temporar ily out of work, or whether you have no job at all. If you have a job, you will be a?ked: 1. How many weeks since you have worked on your present job? 2. Why were you not at work yesterday? (or in the last regular working day) ? 3. Did you lose a day's pay by not being at wcrk? 4.

A HARD TASK O'Neill, Neb., April 3. Taking the census in the Nebraska sandhills calls for courage and determination on the part of women who have been as signed areas with far-flung boun daries in the Second district: Ante lope, Boyd, Brown, Cedar, Cherry, Holt, Keya Paha, Knox, Pierce and Rock counties Of 119 enumerators working in this most-sparsely settled part of the state, Supervisor Claude P. Hancock has named 35 women. South of Long Pine in a district where roads are few Mrs. Albert Mni ligan of Long Pine is working. She will have to cover three hundred square miles, and the population, ac cording to the last census, was 408. Mrs. Ruth Eads of Valentine has 417 square miles of territory with a population of 517. Her territory is south of Valentine in the lake coun try, where the roads are mostly cow paths in the sand and a compass will be needed so that she can find her way. Difficult territory has also been as signed Mrs. Romona C. Wiekham of 'Eli, Mrs. Mamie Waddell of Irwin and Mrs. Frances Cutler of Valentine, all in Cherry county. The women will drive their own cars in taking the census. In order to compensate them fairly, the cen sus bureau at Washington made a special rate of pay, exceeding the nor mal 50 cents a farm and cents a name for country districts. They will be paid $1 for each farmschedule returned and 15 cents for each name. In the more thickly settled farm regions of Nebraska the rate is 50 cents a farm schedule and 6 cents a name, while the pay In cities and villages is a flat 4 cents a name.
