U1) PHONE 1786 exact clue to the nature of your illness. Quinine, for example--long known for its qualities in combatting dreaded malaria--has frequently been prescribed in treating other conditions. Then, too, some drugs are known to counteract specific symptoms only, while the same symptoms may be observed in more than one type of illness. The doctor who examined you and diagnosed your condition will have given you all the necessary information. It is not within the pharmacist's province to diagnose illness. His is the task of preparing the prescribed medication in a manner that will be the most effective. His scientific training enables him to overcome chemical or physical incompatibilities that may present themselves in a mixture of various ingredients. Your pharmacist's skill makes sure that each dose of the finished product will contain the exact amount of the drugs your doctor intends you to have.-- Reprinted from a H published by Parke, Daris & Company.

The concluding article will ap- pear in next week's Journal.) The organization by which this far-flung investigation ig carried out and its results reduced to comprehensible and usable form fs, necessarily, a large one. Its nucleus exists in a small per- manent staff constituting one of the branches of the Bureau of Statistics. This branch maintains connection between census and census, so that experience is con- tinuous and cumulative. This or- ion has been for census by the creation of a Census Executive Committee, in- to which have been drawn other senior officers of the Bureau with appropriate administrative or technical skills, besides those of the Bureaws Demography (Cen- sus) Division. In planning the field work the country is first divided into "census districts," each of which is placed in charge of a census i The districts are the planning of the forthcoming ------ | own person: or match a you ey Jina lain, or two contrasting colours.

The sub- district is the territory allotted to a census enumerator, Who con- ducts the house to. house and farm to farm canvass, and who is usually the only census official with whom the public comes dir- ectly in contact. Altogether the census of 1951 will employ 262 commissioners and probably 18, 000 enumerators. The commission- ers are appointed by the Minister, and instructed by an officer of the Bureau; the enumerators are appointed and instructed by the commissioners and field super- visors, who must also check and vouch for all the enumerators' re- turns before the latter are for- warded to Ottawa. All field of- ficers are paid for the most part on a "plece" basis, ie. according to the population, farms, etc, enumerated. All are required to pass a practical test in the work before appointment. For a Census that covers half a continent, embracing the most var- ied conditions of nature and set- tlement, uniformity of plan is clearly impossible. For remote regions such as New Quebec, La- brador, the northern portions of the Prairie Provinces and the Eastern Arctic, the census will be taken by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or by officials of the Indian Affairs Branch of the Citizenship and Immigration Department and the Northen Ad- ministrations of the Dept. of Re- sources and Development. Even in less diftant regions, pack trains must be organized, boats charter- ed and other special means em- ployed to epsure that mo section of the country escapes enumera- tion. Aeroplanes may have to be used in some districts. For the compilation of the cen- sug a considerable extra staff will be required in Ottawa and the Regional Offices located In St. John's, Halifax, Montreal, Toron- to, Winnipeg and Vancouver. Cen- sus compilation and tabulation is an elaborate and detailed process which would take much space to describe. An interesting feature is he use of machinery in compiling and analyzing the returns. The method is very briefly as follows: The several facts obtained for each individual are punched on a specially designed card, the per- forations showing by their location the exact information obtained at the" Census. The cards are then sorted and otherwise manipulated by machines which count and re- \ cord various combinations of data as required, according to the per- forations on the cards. For ex- ample, should it be desired to know the number of, say, civil engineers, of Canadian citizenship between the ages of 21 and 50, in the province of Ontario, the machines will fick out and count the cards in a few operations. Im- proved machines have greatly' increased the scope and accuracy of the information derivable from the Census, and have speeded up the processing. GYMNASTS, the classifieds!
