With the first stage of the 1960 Census of Population and Housing virtually Completed locally. District Supervisor Ernest C. Waggoner announced the beginning of a "Were You Counted?" campaign to insure that no resident of the area has been overlooked. Persons who believe they have been missed by the census takers are urged to notify the Census.district office by means of "Were You Counted?" forms. Area newspapers are printing these forms in their current editions as,, a public service. Prompt mailing of the "Were You Counted?" forms will speed up the compilation of preliminary population figures for the area. Preliminary figures presenting the total population of incorporated places of 10,000 or® more population, and for counties, will be issued as soon as the district supervisor is cbnvinced that a complete count has been made. Final, detailed population figures will be issued in Washington later this year after the returns have been tabulated on the Census Bureau's electronic computers. The importance of a complete count was stressed by the district supervisor. He pointed out that the population figures compiled in the current census must stand as official until the next Federal Census. "Federal funds are allotted to states and state funds, in turn, are allotted to counties and municipalities on a per Capita basis. So a short count means a" short allotment. Thus it is imperative that, we have a complete count. The help of every resident of the area is needed to reach this goal," he said. > Meanwhile, the second stage of the census is in full swing, according to the supervisor. This calls for the filling out and mailing the special "blue" household questionnaire which, was left at every fourth household during the first stage of the census. This questionnaire contains the questions which are asked of 25 percent of the population in order to save the cost of a complete "canvass. 21 states have towns named Bethel, which comes directly from the Bible., (They are: Ark., Iowa, Ky., Maine, Mich., Minn., Miss., Mo., Nebr., N.Y., Ohio.

How can I clean a common- rick fireplace that is discoiored by smoke? A. Usually very effective for this is ordinary household ammonia. A mild washingpowder solution will remove accumulated dirt and dust. Wash off with clear water.

Is there a way I can easily darken some light tan leather articles, such as belt, shoes, etc? A. Hub these articles with a cloth dipped in ammonia. This will give the leather a deep brown finislj. Take care to apply the ammonia uniformly so that the finished job will net be a spotty one. Q. How can I make use of a rubber hot water bottle which has a tiny leak in it ? A. Instead of filling it with hot water, fill it with hot salt. Salt, it's said, will keep hot longer than water. Q. How can I remove some very light burns from furniture? A. These will sometimes disappear when' rubbed with your usual polish. If not, use rottenstone or finely powdered pumice, mixed to a" thin paste with raw or boiled linseed oil. Rub in the direction of the grain. Wipe with another cloth moistened with plain linseed. Repeat a number of times, if necessary, then polish. Q. How can I make my own earrings to match a certain dress? A. Purchase two buttons more than you need for your dress and then, with some colorless fingernail polish, fasten these buttons to the base of an old pair of earrings. Q.
