tation of the University of California, Riverside, to be the principal speaker at Commencement ceremonies, Wednesday, June 17, 1970. Census enumerators to begin process oi checking forms One person will fill out his Census form, mail it in and forget it. But such is not the case for the Census taker who will patiently check oyer that form and many others as she assumes a task far greater than the individuals. The Census taker, officially called an enumerator, will spend many hours in training for her job, living and learning the Census until it is completed. Yesterday a group of eight women met in the basement of the San Bernardino county building on Brookside' avenue for their first of four, four-hour training sessions.

And those four hours were a time for concentration, confusion, and consumption of in. structions. Each enumerator had her trainees.kit by her side, cil in hand, and an ear to the crew leader, Mrs. Roger Applegate. The trainees kit, a conglomeration of forms, instructions, handbooks, guides, and registers, weighs about seven pounds and includes enough printed material to keep a speed reader occupied for several hours.

The eight women at the training session yesterday, one a census taker ten yerrs ago, see their job as a challenge and no wonder. It's a detailed, intricate, spe cialized responsibility in which the emphasis is "Follow a. task that often against human nature. That first four hours for the enumerators concluded with each being given the returned forms for her area. Work on the forms will be done in her home as she them in, determining 'how many have not been returned in a defined area.

The next training session will be for the editing of the short forms and the third for the long forms. The follow-up session for instructions in telephoning and visiting will be April 20 after which the people will be contacted if something was found amiss on their form. Mrs; Applegate said that three to five.weeks have been allotted for these contacts. Mrs. Applegate spent three full days learning to be a crew leader before the Census got under way.

She says now she knows what a teacher goes through. "Sometimes when the trainees are' confused, they'll ask questions, and other times they won't ask questions at all, and then I don't know if they 've really understood me." CENSUS 1970, NO EASY TASK These eight enumerators, learning.the ropes of Census-taking from their crew leader, Mrs. Roger Applegate, standing, have more than their own form to fill out and mail in. They have the responsibility of checking others' mistakes, contacting residents, and assuring the government an accurate survey has been made all in the strictest confidence; From left are: Rita Tust, Irene Har-. rison, Ruth Schultehennch, Mrs.

Applegate, Barbara Sandoval, Elaine Dorothy Cox, and Sharon Cole, all of Redlands. Other census takers have been specially trained to count people in rest homes, hospitals, and similar places. These; women-will; count the residents in homes and apartments. (Facts photo by C. J.
