The giant 19 by 22 inch piece of paper he unfolds doesn't mean an hour of torture for you.

Although there are hundreds of questions printed on the form, larger than this newspaper page, you won't have to answer all of them. You do. however, have to answer the portion of them asked by the census taker. IF YOU REFUSE, the penalty is a $100 fine, 60 days in jail, or both. And the census bureau is seeking truthful answers.

A false statement can cost you $500, a year in jail, or both. But on the other hand you won't have to worry about the information you give falling into the wrong hands. Your answers can be used by the census bureau and no other. The law specifically prohibits use of census questionnaires for tax purposes, solicitations, or any other purpose save census. The law provides stiff punishment for any person who misuses Information given to a census enumerator.

FIRST, the census enumerator will produce his credentials. They must be properly signed by the enumerator and William J.

Then the enumerator will take out the census forms and will be ready to start asking questions. Only eight specific questions will be asked of all individuals. These will be name, relationship to head of household, race, sex, age, marital status, state or country of birth, and.

citizenship status. Two additional inquiries concern all persons 14 years old and over. Those relate to employment status and kind of job. The remainder of the questions will be asked only of a sample of persons, selected by chance according to the order in which their names fall on the census schedule. FOR EVERY fifth person, there will be four questions' as to place of residence one year ago, country of birth of father and mother, whether the person is attending school, and highest grade attended.

For every fifth person 14 years old and over there are four questions on number of weeks worked in 1949, income in 1949, veteran status if a male, and, if unemployed, duration of unemployment al nil Biff vark Hew aaay weeka haa he beta leekiat for work?

oaco MOET OccurisA- I Cos! or.aika lOBy, Each of the big sheets has room for 30 persons and 12 dwelling units. The number of questions each person listed on a sheet has to answer will Uepend on circumstances of age, residence, and chance. If your name should fall on one of the sample lines, the census enumerator would ask you additional questions at the bottom of the form corresponding to the numbered line on which your name appeared. The sample questions want to know answers to some of the questions above. On the back of the big form, the bureau of census wants to know information concerning the dwelling in which you live.

The enumerator will ask you if it is new, dilapidated, on a farm, in the city, apartment or flat. OTHER Information sought is whether the dwelling is equipped with gas, running water, electricity, an electric refrigerator, type furnace, radio, bathroom, and the occupant of the dwelling. But not all the questions will be asked of each person. Some will be answered only by those on whose line a corresponding number falls. Thus the information obtained from the estimated 150,000,000 persons in the United States will be to a large extent cross sectional.

If each person were asked all the questions the enumerators would never finish. Farm schedules have been mailed to farmers and should be completed at once, according to Eden, so that enumerators will not be delayed when they arrive at rural homes to count the inhabitants. gQruutyen 4 Battladgu niJaaldrait II wail Hum 1 By tartar I Bent das Vacmt iQlwraas if-ITwasle pi Not for QEIertrrtr ounrfoat UNotaaatat ft ll Tatars I b.

Only persons 14 years old or over answers questions 15 through 2(r If your name happens to fall on one of the sample lines, distinguished by a circle around the number and box to the left, you will be asked to answer additional questions at the bottom of the page. For example if your name falls on line three above, look in the portion of the form at the center of the page, find the section with number three at the left of the page and read the sample questions you would be asked. The portion at the bottom of this page is the top of the back of the population census form.

Every dwelling holder is asked items one through 13 and 17 through 26. In addition, sample questions are asked at dwellings which fall on various lines on the front of the form. iQywraat sale i ooiy Irroter e.

In all there are about 50 or 60 special questions to be filled out by farmers. As in the case of the population census form, some will answer more questions than others.

Representatives of the census bureau will be stationed at desks in the hotel lobby and other suitable locations where guests can call to obtain assistance or turn in their completed forms. In some cases, enumerators will make a room-to-room canvass in the same manner as the house-to-house visitations. HOSPITALS, jails, sanitariums, and overseas outposts and territories also will be enumerated. The bureau of census expects spectacular results from its nose counting.

Eden said amounts paid in school aid programs frequently are based on this information and it will be used by congress, state legislatures, federal, state, county, and school district authorities. Again, Eden said, reliable information can be obtained only through the complete co-operation and aid of every person questioned.
