In order to "pave the way" as it were for the enumerator when he comes around to your door, your reâ€" porter thought it would not be amiss to look into this matter of census taking and write a short preview on the subject. Inasmuch as some of the questions to be asked by the census taker are of a personal naâ€" ture and more than apt to arouse resentment on the part of some peoâ€" ple, a short resume of the whole business is perhaps very much in orâ€" der. If Mr. and Mrs. Citizen knows what to expect it might prevent him or her from laying violent hands on the enumerator when he comes around to do his stuff. This violence business isn‘t as far fetched as it sounds. According to George W. Schreech, in charge of taking the census in the Chicago area, some of the records of the first census taken in 1790 show blood marks left there as a result of attacks on the enumâ€" erator by the Indians. We do not expect any Highland Park houseâ€" wives to reach for the carving knife when the census taker calls, but we do believe it will put them in a more receptive frame of mind if they are prepared for what‘s coming. Inciâ€" dently, refusal to answer questions subjects the individual to a fine of $100 or sixty days in jail or both. Falsification of a report calls for a $500 fine or one year in jail or both. Although the official work of the Cerisus Bureau covers a number of classifications including business and â€" manufacturing, | agriculture, drainage, irrigation and housing, the population division is of perâ€" haps more interest and concern to the average individual. Its primary purpose is to corral a general fund of information about the country that is used in a thousand and one ways. Population shifts, sociological studies, and unemployment trends are only a few of the undertakings benefited by the census. Although many are of the opinion that the census is just another excuse to pay the public payrolls there is no denyâ€" ing that it does serve some useful purpose. Incidently, the Census Bureau was going full blast on Linâ€" coln‘s birthday when most public ofâ€" fices were closed.
