jK I Womans World By Caroune For 27 adults from York North last week was backtoschool For four days grey heads and brown heads of urban and rural residents were bent over their desks- as the enumeration manual for the ninth census of Canada was studied IS PROGRESSING Mr George who un derwent a serious operation in St Michaels hospital Toronto on Wednesday of last week is progressing favorably i Ill ff mi V HALF SLICED OR CENTRE CUT i HOME MADE ms- i I t Following the passing of an in telligence and general knowledge test they had been appointed as enumerators for the 1951 cen sus After taking the oath of secrecy the prospective enumer ators got down to the serious business of preparing to take the local census This will begin on Friday June Not only must they be ready to collect information in confi dence but enumerators must be thoroughly familiar with the many forms and papers they will use in the course of their duties They must be able to help in making this national in ventory accurate so- that it will be useful for the benefit of all It was pointed out that it each of the enumerators were to miss only one person in his territory a population equal to that of Chatham or Brandon would be dropped out of the total Enumerators will carry an identification card For New market the enumerators are Mrs Jos Greer Mrs Sinclair Harvey and myself The remainder of our school mates handle the other urban and the rural areas of York North with Fred Hare as field supervisor Information collected by the census enumerators by law can not be disclosed to other govern ment agencies such as income tax national defence or to any private organization Census en umerators are collecting statis tics about individuals in order to total statistics The fact that Mrs John Jones Market St is of Icelandic origin or lives in a brick veneer house is of no personal interest to the census enumerators or the department of but those questions are being asked of oth er Canadian householders and a WE CARRY HIGH QUALITY MEATS ALL GROCERIES SOLD AT PRICES TO COMPETE WITH ALL CASH AND CARRY STORES i rf On Sale At SENECAL DRY GOODS Aurora and Newmarket composite picture of our popula tion will result Before tabulat ing the of the forms com pleted by tile enumerators the individuals name is removed Some of the questions particu larly stressed in the population form relate to place of birth origin occupation salary and age In the case of the birth places If the person was born outside Canada the country of birth is marked as it is now con stituted This has particu lar bearing for persons born in certain parts Continental Europe in which there have been recent changes in national boun daries If the person is uncer tain of this he should give the province or district in which he was born as AlsaceLorraine or the nearest city as Warsaw In the case of origin for cen sus purposes a persons origin is traced through his father It can be most easily established by determining the language which the person or his parental ances tors spoke on first coming to Canada In the case of occupation it is necessary to know in detail the name of the firm or business the type of business or industry and the actual work done by the person For example it would be wholesale grocery retail hardware or dairy farming and not just grocery hardware or farming Specific terms must be used in describing the persons occupation It is not sufficient to merely list clerk as the occupa tion It must be qualified such as file clerk time clerk typist etc In the question on salary broad groupings of 500 are all that are necessary Income from investments unemployment in surance benefits workmens com pensation etc is not included Life insurance premium tables are based on the ages of the Canadian people as recorded in the census Over past years the average Canadian life span has increased making it necessary at every census to ask what is your age If householders are ready with the information necessary for the censustaking if they realize the great importance of accuracy in reporting their an swers and if they remember that the census is not concerned with each man or woman as an indiv idual but is interested in total statistics then this job of making an inventory of the Canadian people will be done more effic iently and accurately
