Have You Been Counted? According to the latest preliminary report of the director of census, James W. Morehead, the population of New Castle is 48,850.

While this is an increase of 1,212 over the census total of 1940, The News believes that not all New Castle citizens have been counted in the census. This is not to suggest that the census takers have been inefficient but rather to point out that many families are not at home during the day due to the man and wife working. There are some advantages to be gained in having a population of over 50,000. The News believes the population of the city is over 50,000. Buttressing this reasoning is the fact that meter records of the Pennsylvania Power company indicate a population of near 52,000.

In 1940, with a population of 47,638 listed by the census bureau, the Pennsylvania Power company had 13,300 customers. In 1949 they had 14,700 customers, indicating about 52,000 population. An industry is listed as one customer, but so is an apartment house, so that a number of meters in an industry would be offset by multiple tenancy in an apartment house. To the total of 48,850 will be added some persons who are in other cities but whose residence is in New Castle. It is doubted that this will bring the total up to 50,000.

There appear to be many persons in this city who have not been counted. Are you one of them? Has a census taker visited your home and tabulated the number of people in your home? If you have not been counted, will you write The News, giving your, name, address and number of persons in your home? i The News believes this is important. It asks that those citizens who have not been counted get in touch with The News immediately and the information be turned over to Census Director I Spring Reunion Is Concluded Scottish Rite Body Winds Up Sessions Conferring of the 32nd degree this afternoon, concluded the 86th Reunion of the Valley of New Castle Consistory, A.A.S.R and this evening, the customary dinner party will wind up the activities in connection therewith Many of the wives and ladies of the members are here this afternoon, guests at a tea and entertainment at the Field Club, as a prelude to entertainment.
