New Labor Savers
For 1960 Census
* ■ t •
A couple of do-it-yourself gim
micks to be used in next year’s
census wfll save the government
considerable time.
The bureau has made public
one of two do-it-yourself forms
a four page item that will be
mailed to the nation’s 55,000,000
households late in March.
Householders will be asked to
fill out this form before census
takers make personal visits start
ing April 1. The census takers
;8hen will merely copy down the
information instead of asking ques
tions that might be difficult* to
answer on the spur of Che moment.
The bureau tested this advance
form Last February in two South
* Carolina counties. It said use
of the form cuts the average visit
of 'the census taker to 7 minutes
from about 15 minutes and pro
duced more accurate information.
Basic questions on the advance
forms includes: names of all res
idents of the housho4d»>«ddress,
sex. color, race, date of birth, mar
ital status, number of rooms in
: - toe household, whether the dwell
ing is owned or rented and whether
it has running water, plumbing
and cooking facilities.
In a'1' dtion, census talkers will
Cleave at every fourth household
a somewhat longer form asking for
.more detailed questions about the
(dwelling and its residents.
Householders will be asked to
mi this out themselves and mail
It promptly to the local census
office. In past head counts, it
took census takers about 20 minute
to get answers to this second set
- of questions. This, time they will
wnly have to copy down the an
swers after the forms are received
by mail. '’ / *
The advance form to be seat to
alt households carries a message
from Census Director Robert W.
Burgess which notes:
“The information that you are
required to furnish is held con
fidential by law. Your census
report cannot be used for purposes
of taxation, investigation or regul
ation.
Burgess also said the 1960 cen
mis will be the basis for reappar
tioning the 437 seats in the House
of Representatives, jyfcich .are. as^
sdgnecf an tie basis of population ■’
'•t ; "St \ **;«.'
Final total population figures
for each state must 'be sent to the
President by next Dec. 1. Prelim
inary totals for counties and places
with 10,000 or more inhabitants
will be announced by district of
fices much sooner, some by late
April.
Field reports will be sent to
an operations office at Jefferson
ville, Ittd., where they will be
microfilmed before being forward
ed to Washington for compil
ation by electronic computers.
