The principle factor to be considered by one in se

whether the style is suitable to one's personality

necessarily one who follows the style parade. She

stays within those limitations. Wini Shaw, sleek

Prepares to Start Fifty-eight i
Enumerators Out. i
Herman G. Meyer, who has been
named local Supervisor of the Census &
ot Business, today announced that
enumeration work will start in Con-
irracrinnnl II i c t r i c t ?Jo 1 on .T.HlliarV
t,,v " ' f
-nd. He said (58) enumerators will
be named within the next few days
to make the canvass of this district, K
which includes eleven counties.
Offices cf the Census has been es
tablished in the Fderal building and
a staff of (5) persons will bo employ
ed to handle the work. All census
employes are bound by a strict census
oath not to reveal any information
contained on business reports and
the law makes any violation a crim
inal offense.
Mr. Meyer etated that every re
tail and wholes-ale business,, all
hotels, places of amusement, business
service companies, insurance agen
cies, real state offices, and trucking
and bus companies; all banks, office
building managers and contractors
will be canvassed for reports on their
operations during the calendar year
1935. The results are to be tabu
lated in Philadelphia, headquarters
of the Business Census, and become
the basic statistics which businesses
use in planning their operating poli
cies. All enumerators will be instructed
thoroughly on all phases of the cen
sus, Mr. Meyer said, prior to the be-
ginnnig of the canvass. Mr. Dan
Campbell who has been selected as
assistant supervisor, will conduct the
training courses.
Supervisor Meyer xplained this
census has been extended consider
ably beyond the limitations of the
Census of Distribution for 19110, and
the Census of American Business of
l'j3.'L as a result of business request
that all fields cf business Le included.
"It is designed," he said, "to cup
ply a definite answer to the ques
tion of how many concerns there are
ia business, the total volume of an
nual business, and the total payrolls
and employment. More than (100)
representatives, delegated by vaiious
business associations in each field to
be covered, met with census officials
and formulated the questions to be
asked."
Retail trade will be divided into
two size classifications: Stores with
total rales of $50,000 and over, and
those with sales of less than ?50,
000. Commodity data will be sought
from the larger group and from all
wholesale establishments including
exporters, importers and limited func
tion whoesalers.
For the first time, Mr. Meyer an
nounced, the census includes banking
and finance for the entire range of
commercial, agricultural and mort
gage and personal credit finance as
well as security brokers and dealers.
Construction, including building,
highway and heavy construction by
contractors is included again, as in
1929. General contractors, operative
builders and sub-contractors are to
be covered.
Highway and street transportation,
including trucking for hire and bus
operations are included in the cen
sus for the first time. Commercial
warehousing is included in the com
prehensive plans announced today.
A census of the business of oper
ating office, commercial and other
non-residential buildings will be
made in cities of more than 10,000.
For the first time the operations of
insurance companies, agents and
brokers, real estate brokers and deal
ers, management and rental agents
as well as the business aspects of
non-profit associations and organ
izations of every type, (exclusive of
religious bodies) are included in the
census.
The census of service establish
ments, which in 1933 included only
personal, business and mechanical re
pair services, is extended in the plans
to include certain classes of profes
sionally trained persons. Mr. Meyer
explained these include advertising
counsellors, architects, auditors, cer
tified public accountants, engineer
ing services, private detective agen
cies, market research services, map
drawing and cartography services,
and sales consultants. Theatres and
hotels are to be covered as in 1929
and 1933, he said.
Mr. Meyer declared the present
Census is in answer to the request of
business for dependable 1935 infor
mation for sounder planning of ex-
ansion program3( and is a contlnu-
t nfil, .imlbr hnsiness censuses
of 1929 and 1933.

Another Interpretation
On last Tuesday, December 31, as
the bank was closing for over the
New Year holiday, J. P. Cobb repeat
ed the :v
who last
for "All
mark of a traveling man,
week said that A. D. stands
Done." However, in our
will be crowded into i:3G more than
we have ever dreamed would hap
rcn, in the way of action and new
methods of doing things. The Italian
Ethiopian war is not "all done," the
ilate of Bruno Richard Hauptman ha3
not been definitely decided, congress
is about to reconvene and begin anew
wrestling with the various and per
plexing problem-? of state, a presi
dent is to be elected this year and a
lot of things are yet to be done.
Enjcycd the New Year
The members of the Elmwood Li
brary board, who had made arrange
ments for the proper observance of
the New Year at the Elmwood com
munity hall as an appreciation of
the loyal manner in which the peo
ple of Elmwood and community have
worked to secure funds to pay for the
ike installation of the heating plant
i in the community building, and
whose work made the carnival the
success it proved to be. The commun
ity hall was kept open all day New
j Year's day and an excellent time was
;had by all, with various games and
array of eats, as well a3 a warm wel
come to all the callers.
ELniv-.-ood Wall Paper Headquarters
Recently considerable publicity
was given to the arrival of a car
load cf wall paper in Elmwood direct
from the mill3 in Illinois. This was
consigned to the Rase Transfer com
pany for distribution to dealers in
this territory, a goodly portion of it
going to Green's drug store here.
Now, we are informed a second
car has arrived for distribution in
the name manner. To the average
person, a car load of wall paper is
almost unconceivable, for it contains
enough to cover hundreds and hun
dreds of rooms, and now the fact
that a second car has been received
for distribution from this point,
makes Elmwood the wallpaper head
quarters of this part of the country.
