& THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, May 31, 1961 21) Census-Takers Start Today OTTAWA (CP) -- Census-tak- ers started ringing doorbells across Canada Tuesday in a major national undertaking that will provide a benchmark of the country's progress and an aid to future growth. Some 27,000 enumerators, tra- velling by foot and in cars--and by boat and packhorse in some remote areas--will count about 18,200,000 noses. They'll assemble a good deal of information about the people behind the noses, including sex, age, marital status, birthplace, language, education; jobs an wages. And in a broad survey of every fifth household they'll seek even more information about change of residence in the last five years, size of families and details of income--a ques- tion the citizen will answer in private. Since a count of population at June 1 is the goal, babies born after midnight tonight won't be| counted but people who die after| then will be. { One of the main purposes of the census, conducted in the] first year of each decade, is to provide the basis for parlia-| J lmentary redistribution of Com- mons constituencies in line with population shifts. It will also give vital infor mation for planning by all lev els of government, and be used by almost every type of busi- ness in deciding on future pro- duction, sales outlets and sell- ing campaigns. HAS BEEN CONTROVERSY This yaer's census has been accompanied by some politica! controversy, paritcularly on two counts: A census question on ethnic origin, and allegations of political favoritism in hiring census workers. French - speaking organiza tions, anxious to preserve their cultural identity, were angered that the first draft of the cen- sus form allowed "Canadian" as a possible answer to a question dealing with ethnic origin. The form was reprinted to ask, more specifically, for the ethnic or cultural origin of pa- ternal ancestors when they first came to North America. Charges of political patronage stem from the fact that the 1,336 census commissioners in| charge of the fact-gathering are appointed by the government. The commissioners, in turn, ap pont the census-takers.

As a first step, the June cen- sus takers will ask approxi- mately 280,000 merchandizing and 'service establishments a few basic questions on the type and size of their operations. The answers will enable the bureau of statistics to send the appropriate census schedules to each business when the second stage of questioning gets under way early next year. At that time each business will be asked to supply various | data about its operations for the calendar year 1961, or the near- est fiscal year. CAN COMPARE SALES The bureau says the informa- the domestic and export mar-|;; "will be of real value to|pages, is abundantly illustrated business, industry and govern- ment. It adds: "From census facts retailers can determine whether the mar- kets for certain lines of goods are shrinking or expanding. In- dividual retailers can learn how their sales compare with others of like kind and size. "For example, a man may be thinking of opening a restaurant {but can't decide on a neighbor- hood. The census will indicate the number of restaurants al- ready operating in different |areas of a city and the volume lof business. There is, in fact, {scarcely a branch of business |activity -- manufacturing, sell-|}' ling or financing--that does not |have specific .uses for census |figures." f | All facts supplied by individu-| als or firms, the bureau empha- |sizes, will be held in strict |confidence, and the information is not available to other gov- {ernment departments.
