Local representatives of the U.S. Census Bureau will visit selected area households beginning March 1 to conduct its Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), Stanley D. Moore, Director of the Bureau's Chicago Regional Office, announced. SIPP is a major continuing survey that was introduced to many areas in the fall of 1983. It began with 20,000 households nationwide and now approaches 38,000. It will be among the nation's largest when the full complement of about 55,000 households is reached in April 1986. Expanding the sample means that participating households contribute to a more accurate picture of economic conditions among American families. The Census Bureau publishes periodic reports that provide information on the survey's results, covering subjects such as jobs and earnings; the economic effects of unem­ ployment, disability, and retirement; how taxes affect personal spending; and par­ ticipation in programs such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and food stamps. The information helps policy makers and administrators determine whether government programs are aiding those they are designed to help and how propttm and policy changes will affect segments of the population. Information collected in SIPP is confidential by law. Census interviewers will ask for detailed information which will be made public in statistical summaries from which no in­ dividual can be identified. In­ terviewers have credentials identifying them as U.S. Census Bureau employees. Host families being sought for foreign exchange students - Governor James R. Thompson has proclaimed February, 1985, as American Intercultural Student Exchange (AISE) Month in Illinois.

The students will have their own spending money and insurance, and are proficient in English. Each host family is allowed a $50 per month income tax deduction. Interested families are urged to contact the AISE Illinois Coordinator, Barbara Madsen, 506 W. Greenwood, Jacksonville, 111. 62650, telephone (217) 245- 8869. BOYS AND GIRLS!
