New Sample Survey Of The Canadiaui Population Flesherton and Grey county is one of the areas included in a sample survey of the Canadian population which is being taken by the Domin- ion Bureau of Statistics during the two weeks which started Monday, June 3- The survey is the third in a series of quarterly surveys designed to obtain current estimates of the volume of en»ployment, unemploy- ment and other labour force inform- ation and will cover approximately 25,000 households in about 100 rand- omly selected cities or sample areas scattered across Canada- On the basis of the survey, esti- mates of employment in different industries, weekly hours of work, the regional distribuition of unemploy^ ment, the numjber of students and other non-workers, and other sign- ificant statistical oata are obtained. The sampling method used in the labor force survey uses the most recent developements in statistical theory, in order to achiew^e both speed and efficiency in the sampling opeir Qtions. The survey will be carried out by official enumerators of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, who will inter- view^ a small fraction of the house- holds in Flesherton and the remainder of this area during the two weeks the survey is in progress- All enumerators carry official credentials and any In- formation give to them is strictly coQ^idential- No enumerator exercises any personal choice or option in the se- lection of hous^olds to be inter- vie<wed, since all sample households are picked beforehand er are selected by completely random methods by the enumerator. Some households will be interviewed several times at intervals of three months, but very few more than four tiroes. The explanation of the repetitive interviews is that they improve the reliability of estim- ates of changes from quarter to quarter. Mrs. L. A.

When, while travelling through the country, e nicely paint d barn comes into view one is impressed with the landscape it would be if more farm- ers would adopt this meanfe of not only brightening things up but at the same time preserving the buildings themselves- In many other parts of -America, and many countries in Eur- ope barns painted in cheerful colours are the rule rather than the e.xcept- ion- In this great farming eountry- however, there are very few farm buildings, with the e.xception of the houses that ever see a coat of paint. Possibly it is the result of the fact that many of our buildings were built by the pioneers of this land who had no time for painting as they strugg- led to get the land cleared and build a place to keep their stock dry and protected. What a great improvement well painted barns and other farm build- ings would make in the general land- scape! Imagine nice red barns snuggled under Spreading elm or maple trees s<attered about the roll- ing hills instead of drab, weathered barns of today.
