Page Fourteen THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER EDITORIAL Thursday, February 8, 1962 BOY SCOUT WEEK On its fifty-second birthday Feb. 8, the Boy Scouts of America has a total membership of 5,235,000 boys and leaders. In McHenry area alone there are well ovef:300 working actively in this worthwhile endeavor. By exposing boys to healthy kinds of living, doing and working, the Boy Scout movement strikes sparks of ambition and interest, character and pride that may light fires for a lifetime. Since the founding, 31,830,- 000 boys have been associated with Scouting. Their record through five decades has proved their trust worthiness and exerted a great and good influence upon the manhood of 1962. Bl'SY CENSUS BUREAU Most of us give little thought to the work of the Census Bureau except once a decade, but contrary to popular belief, the U. S. Census Bureau does not fold its tents and fade away between the big ten year population and housing counts. Mr. Theodore Olson, of the regional office in Chicago points out that nine major censuses will De conducted between now and the next decennial census in 1970. The first of these major censuses will be the 1962 Census of Governments which is conducted every five years. Then comes the five-year Censuses of Business, Manufactures and Mineral Industries. These will be taken in 1964 and 1969, covering business operations in 1963 and 1968 respectively. The Census of Agriculture will be conducted in 1964 and 1969. In addition to these major censuses; the Bureau carries out a wide variety of current surveys on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. Topics covered in the current suivey^ [ include employment and unemployment, population characteristics. health, housing, retail and wholesale trade, manufacturing, and related subjects. The purpose of the current surveys is to supplement and keep up to date the detailed information collected in the major censuses. The Current Population Survey, conducted twelve times a year, is probably the best known Census Bureau interim activity since it provides monthly information on employment and unemployment. Troop 162 The Scouts of Troop 162 held a "Family Night" banquet Saturday evening, Feb. 3, at the Legion home. This was an exciting event for their guest of honor was, the district commissioner, Ben Phillips. The meeting was started with the presenting of colors by the Green Bar.. These are the boys who are patrol leaders and are taking training to be future leaders. Our Scoutmaster, Jim Kirk, welcomed the group and introduced the master of ceremonies. Dennis McGowan, one of the assistant senior patrol leaders. Dennis called on each patrol to give their patrol yell. The patrols that participated were the Hawks, the Eagles and the Raccoons. These were veils " that the boys wrote for each patrol. Then We had a bit of community singing, led by John Beata and Fred Durrenbeig. Xext our Scoutmaster, Jim Kirk, introduced the honor guest of the evening, Mr. Phillips. He presented our new charter for 1962 to Mr. Griffin. the American Legion representative.

Information on migration, income, :chool enrollment, and other pertinent subjects is collected from time to time in the Current Population Survey in addition to the facts on employment and unemployment. Approximately 35,000 households throughout the country are included each month in the Current Population Survey. These households are selected at random under the scientific sampling program to provide a representative cross-section of all classes of the population, and all types of areas of Wie country -- large cities, small towns, rural areas, etc. Fred Durrenberg, and Charles Messel, Sr. There were a few badges to present, which was very ably done by our Scoutmaster, Jim Kirk. Tenderfoot badges were presented to Rich Vycital and Robert Gouser; a reading merit badge to Charles Messel,. Jr. This wasn't a very good showing for the amount of Scouts we have. Come on, boys, let's work for more badges. Our district representative, Hugh Kirk, gave the boys and parents an idea of life at Camp Lowden. Then to top the evening we had some very entertaining movies. The first was of the 1960 Jubilee Jamboree at Colorado Springs. The second was on Indian Ceremonials.
