The census enumerators went to
work yesterday and those people
who make up the great public are
asked to be ready for them, even
if their visits are to be quizzical
rather than social. No one need
fear answer any question pro
pounded because the whole busi
ness is secret and those little
things, such as ages, amount of
property owned, etc., that indi

will remain secret for a hundred
years.
These are the questions that will
be asked about each person by the
Federal census-taker:
1. Your name.
2. Your relationship to the fam
ily (whether the head of the fam
ily, wife, son, daughter, or uncle,
etc.)
3. Whether your home is owned
or rented.
. The estimated value of your
home, if owner, or the monthly
rental, if rented.
5. Is there a radio set in your
home?
6. Do you live on a farm?
7. What is your sex?
8. What is your color or race.
9. What was your age at last
birthday?
10. Are you married, single, wid
owed, or divorced?
11. What was your age at first
marriage? (For married persons
only.)
12. Have you attended school or
college since September, 1929?
13. Are you able to read and
write ?
14. Where were you bom?
15. Where was your father bom?
16. Where was your mother bom?
17. What is your native langu
age? (For foreign.-bom persons
only.) -
18. In what year did you immi
grate to the U. S. (For foreign-
bom.)
19. Are you naturalized? (For
foreign-bom.)
20. Are you able to speak Eng
lish?
21. If you are a gainful worker,
what is your occupation?
22. In what industry are you
employed?
23. Are you an employer, em
ploye, or worker on your own ac
count?
24. Were you actually at work
yesterday?
25. Are you a veteran of the
United States military or naval
forces and if* so, in what war or
expedition did you serve?
If you answered “No” to question
24, you will also be asked whether
you have a job and are merely
temporarily out of work, or wheth
er you have no job at all. If you
have a job, you will be asked:
1. How many weeks since you
have worked on your present job?
2. Why were you not at work
yesterday (or on the last regular
working day)?
3. Did you lose a day’s pay by
not.being at work?
4. How many days did you work
last week?
5. How many days in a full-time
week?
If you have no job at all, you
will be asked:
1. Are you able to work?
2. Are you looking for a job?
3. For how many weeks have you
been without a job?
4. Reason for being out of a job,
or for losing your last job.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2.—
The Federal Board for Vocational
Education has rehabilitated since
1921 more than 38,000 disabled
persons, the Director of the Board,
Dr. J. C. Wright, stated recently.
To accomplish the results contem
plated in vocational rehabilitation,
when it was first undertaken by
the Government, it was stated, a
new service program had to be de
veloped and a competent staff ac
quired. In addition to these
achievements, a case system of
studying individual disabilities had
to be worked out, it was explained.
Commenting upon the work Dr.
Wright continued:
“Efficient rehabilitation work
cannot be accomplished if a single
worker attempts to serve more
than 75 to 100 persons in the var
ious stages of rehabilitation. The
production of rehabilitations by
one agent does not on the average >
exceed more than 35 or 40 cases)
per year, if the work is done prop- |
erly. It can readily be seen, there
fore, that rehabilitation depart
ments in the states continuously
meet opposition to the recruiting
Df a staff adequate to handle the
case load needing assistance. Edu
cational administrators who are
accustomed to employing super
visors in various fields who may
deal with as many as 400 or nore
schools, each of which handles
many students, find it difficult to
justify a staff of rehabilitation
workers adequate to handle the
job in a particular community.
State boards and legislators frown,
naturally, upon such enlargements
of personnel, although the need
may readily be demonstrated.”
Dr. Wright added that these dif
ficulties were gradually being
overcome and that the work was
progressing with greater efficiency
as the states were beginning to
realize that rehabilitation was
equally a state and national func
tion. ... /

Picnic At Young s

will be a picnic at the
School House Saturday.
Everybody is cordially in
vited to come and bring well fill

I have repeatedly said that the
money you earn is your money and
you have a perfect right to spend
it where you please, with whom
you please and for what you please.
BUT if the people of a community
make a practice of buying too
large a per centage of merchandise
out of town, or if they have a
reputation for doing that, it shows
one of two things: either the
stores are below standard; or the
necple who make up the commun
ity are not loyal, community-
minded people. And one is as bad
as the other, so far as industry
and other interested parties are
concerned.
Anybody, any organization or
any business, interested in Mc
Cormick will sooner or later ask
about your stores; and they want
the answer to be fact, not a fancy
They want to know what YOU
think a?)out them, for YOU and
the other people who live and work
in the community are the one;
who really are in a position tc
know. If the question cannot be
answered or is not answered; and
if some other town does answer
that; other town has the advantage
and that advantage may be just
enough to keep McCormick iron-
being selected for a new factory
new home owners, or any of r
dozen things for which people
consider towns.
Through the McCormick Me -
senger and' local Lions Club th
answering cf this important ques
tion is made possible. ALL YOT
have to do is to send your an
swers to the following questions
me and I will see that inquiring
“customers” of McCormick an
given the information. I will dc
that, if YOU will do YOUR part.
Here are the questions:
2. Are the stores in McCormici-
excellent, good, fair or poor?
2. What would you suggest tc
rnaxe them what you would like tc
have them?
S. Do you buy things out of
town? If so why?
Answer these three questions
honestly, frankly—just as you
really FEEL about it, and you wil;
hot be doing McCormick a gbod
j turn but actually doing somethim
j for yourself and for the good of
! your own pocket book.
This is another chance for you
tc show whether you are reallj
interested and “for” McCormick

The State of Sunday says, with
$30,773 in cash already donated
toward the Baptist hospital build
ing fund campaign and nearly
enough in subscriptions to com
plete the balance of the first $45,-
000 to be matched by a like
amount from the Duke endowment
fund, it is possible that this pri
mary goal will be reached within
the next few days, according to
Dr. W. M. Whiteside, superintend
ent of the hospital. When $45,000
has been raised, removal of dirt
for the new’ building will be start
ed at once, he said.
The following is the statement
as given by Doctor Whiteside:
“We have $30,773 in cash and
donations which the Duke endow
ment has agreed to accept as cash.
The balance of $14,227 must be
secured by collections on the pres
ent subscriptions and new sub
scriptions. The campaign com
mittee has reviewed the subscrip
tions already in hand, which we
understand to be payable on de
mand, and the incompleted pros
pects, and has every reason to be
lieve that the above amount can
be collected inside of the next few
-
days.”
The question as to when the
first dirt would he broken for the
new wing was discussed but the
exact date has not been set. Tae
nurses’ home which was formerly
on the lot of the building site has
been moved to the lot adjoining
Taylor street.
Doctor Whiteside pointed out
that while the capacity of the
present tya^ding v provides for only
109 patients, that ^Hoo timo dur
ing March was there rate, tkfch 104
patients and that the averageTor"
the month wa? 115. He said that
already it has become necessary
to turn away patients when the
hospital is crowded and should the
demand for rooms at the hospital
increase at the present rate, it
will become necessary to turn away
an even greater number.
The building committee is com
posed of the executive committee
of the board of trustees of the hos
pital, of which J. M. Walker is
chairman. Other members of the
building committee are Mrs. C, A.
Jones, chairman of the commit
tee on training schools; W. P.,
Hamrick, chairman of the commit
tee on buildings and prop?rtv; K
C. Davis, chairman of the com
mittee on departments, anJ !< . L.
Riley, chairman of the committee
on free work.
The Duke endowment fund of
ficials have agreed to provide any
sum of money for buildmg pur
poses up to $75,000 that can be
natched by a like sum by the hes-
oital.

Of course you do not have to do
it, but if you don’t or won’t do what
you can, don’t kick if things are
not the way you would hke. to
have’ them; and don’t complain
that you don’t make mere money
than you’re making now.
You don’t have to write a fancy
article when answering the*e ques
tions. Just use your pwn words,
write in pencil if you like, and you
do not have to sign your name if
you do not care to. If you don’t
sign your name, state whether the
questions are answered by a man
or woman, and give your occupa-

Don’t put this offr-you are liable
to forget about it if you do, and
it is too important to take the
chance of doing that. Just address
