back into office crew begins calls seek federal census statistics the king size job of counting noses officially began yesterday wednesday june 1st however very few people in the george town area got a call from the census taker that day in fact only a small proportion of the area population will be enumer ated this week stated george mnndy census commissioner for this districl it wont be until the third day that the door knocking begins in earnest and will continue the week starting june 6 until it is completed the population cen sus is expected to be completed entirely within two weeks and the farm census within three veeks in the georgetown district twenty enumerators will ask fewer and simpler questions than ever before the only one likely to give any trouble is tbe age question the questions are name relationship to hesd of household sex age marital status and owner or tenant there are no questions on housing automobiles household appliances income schooling or religion mr mundy stressed the need for public cooperation he said that this need was emphasized by the slogan being used for the 1966 census be counted for canada the law requires ev erybody to answer the census questions but the census can only be complete and accurate if the public cooperates he said the information given to the census taker is absolutely confi dential there w no esttrmow whatsoever even the dominion bureau of statistics may not di vulge any individual statistics to any other federal- govern ment agency thus the individ ual need not fear that informa tion given in confidence can be used for purposes of taxation investigation or regulation of any kind census taking is not one of these new tangled meddlesome ideas in fact early records show that in babylonia in 3000 bc in china in 3000 bc and in egypt in 200 bc populat ion and agricultural censuses were carried out the romans were assiduous census takers under the king the republic and the empire julius caesar gave the census
