For every person in the population they must fill up a census card with the answers to a series of questions. As those already interâ€" viewed have learned, there is little difficulty in answering what the census taker has to ask. There are 29 questions in the population questionnaireâ€"ten less than in 1941â€"and for the maâ€" jority of the people about half will not need to be answered. The first thirteen of these are quite simple. They cover name, address, relationship to head of household, sex, age, religion, marital status, years of schooling, and language spoken. In this group, the quesâ€" tions on years of schooling may tax the memory of a few people, but they are not difficult. Question 14 on birthplace is equally easy, but the reason for it may not be readily apparent. During and since World War II there were considerable interâ€"proâ€" vincial movements of population, and the answers to this question will show the provinces which have gained or lost by this movement. Combined with other facts, they will also show what has happened to the thousands of new immiâ€" grants who came to Canada in reâ€" cent years. The numbers of these and other earlier immigrants will be revealed by another simple question (15) on period of immiâ€" gration. Question 16, dealing with citizenâ€" ship, will be answered with "Canaâ€" dian" by more than 95 per cent of the people, by reason of birth, naturalization, or having latterly earned their Canadian citizenship papers. Enumerators have been specially instructed to assist the few «persons among the rest who may be uncertain of their citizenâ€" ship, in answering this question. Immediately following is a quesâ€" tion on origin, for which male anâ€" cestry alone is required. This will supplement the citizenship quesâ€" tion by showing the cultural eleâ€" ments which are being blended into the Canadian melting pot. For those who wish to acknowâ€" ledge no origin but Canadian, howâ€" ever, the enumerator may accept the answer "Canadian." Next are two questionsâ€"18 and 19â€"on war service, designed to furnish information that will be useful in looking after the welfare of war veterans. The last ten questions relate to the labour force and apply only to those who are 14 years of ‘age and over. These questions devel :p information on the number of workers, the industries which emâ€" ploy them, the type of work they do or can do, and the salaries and wages they are paid. Similar quesâ€" tions have been included in preâ€" vious censuses. For the 1951 Cenâ€" sus they have been framed more carefully so as to obtain more acâ€". curate â€"information, â€" capable . of being more infelligently classified. The answers to these questions will provide data of the greatest value to the government in its program of maintaining full emâ€" ployment and also to workers and management. Similar questions are asked in the quarterly survey of the labour force conducted by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, but this surâ€" vey is on a cample basis and can only be reliable if representative of the whole population and deâ€" signed from the camplete enumerâ€" ation which is obtainable only through the Census. The sample now in use is based on 1941 Census data and new complete informaâ€" tion is needed to determine wheâ€" ther it is still representative or to serve as a benchâ€"marker for a reâ€" drawn sample. > First of the ten, question 20 maks the person‘s main activity during the week ending June 2 and is designed to measure the size of the labour force at a point in time most suitable, because frosh in mind, for providing accurate anâ€" awers. These will be recorded to show whether the person was 123RD ANNIVERSARY OF ST. PHILIP‘S ONâ€"THEâ€"HILL ooenpnnanes doine ce im# uol on o o0 epmnogonna on c working, with a job but not at work, looking for work, keeping house, going to school, retired or voluntarily idle, or permanently unable to work. For all except those working or unable to work, question 21 then asks if the person did any work for pay or profit apart from the main activity, and question 22 asks for all who workâ€" ed full or partâ€"time the number of hours of work. Together these questions will provide data coverâ€" ing all the populationâ€"obtainable only by the complete enumeration of the Censusâ€"for a comprehenâ€" sive and detailed enalysis of the labour force. Questions 23 to 25 deal specificâ€" ally with occupation and industry. They ask the name of the firm or business for which the person worked in the week, the kind of business or industry it is, the kind of work done, and whether the occupation reported is the person‘s usual occupation and if not what the usual occupation is. The purâ€" pose of these questions is to obtain an overall record of the occupaâ€" tions of the people in which they engage for pay or profit and to classify them according to the inâ€" dustry in which they work. The answers will yield data of great value on the various skills availâ€" able in Canada and on the numbers possessing different skills â€"inâ€" formation that is especially imâ€" portant at a time like the present when the defence program is makâ€" ing exceptional demands on nuâ€" merous occupations. The value of such data, of course, depends on the accuracy of answers, and both om, aug‘ve git Butler will be celebrating 21 years of faithful serâ€" vice to that parish at the end of this month. Taking part in special anniversary services last Sunday, June 10, were Rev. B. R. English, MA., Ph.D., of St. Aidan‘s Church, Toronto, and Rev. Canon G. H. Dowker, MA., LTh., of Grace Church, Toronto. Undercoating _ Pays _For Itself! labour organizations and business managementâ€"both â€" closely interâ€" ested in such figuresâ€"are making special efforts to ensure that workers take pains to see that correct job titles are given the enumerator. Question 27 seeks information on the number of persons working as wage or salary earners, on own account, as employers and for "no pay"; while Question 28 asks of those who were in receipt, of salary or wages the number of weeks worked in the twelve months prior to June, 1951, repMes being checkâ€" ed in fiveâ€"week categories, The latter question will yield informaâ€" tion on the steadiness of employâ€" ment. Final question asks, also from salary and wage earners, the amountâ€"within $500 categorlesâ€" of their earnings in the same twelve months. This type of inâ€" formation is of great value for many purposes, such as for study of market potentials, and as an inâ€" dicator of purchasing power in local areas. No unnecessary question has been included in the population card. The information obtained from the Census will be a continuâ€" ing source of help and guidance to private and public effort and will benefit everyone. Canada is closely in line with the most advanced nations as respects the kind of inâ€" formation being sought in the Census. Agreement has been reached in the price which the United Kingâ€" dom will.pay for Dutch bacon exâ€" ports during the period Januaryâ€" September, 1951. The new price of 229 shillings per hundredweight, f.o.b. (81 cents per pound, Canaâ€" ‘dian currency) is 5% cents higher than the 1950 contract price.

When he tried to conâ€" tact him recently he was told the reeve was out of town. Armed â€" guards patrolled the grounds of Levy‘s in the evening and he had been shot at by one of them, charged Mr. Don Schoffield of 52 St. John‘s Rd. W., Weston. Mayor Richard Seagrave said that although the lot in question was not within the town, the matâ€" ter would certainly be taken up with York Township. He said that the township had originally asked about $15,000 for the lot. "Weston hasn‘t that much money to spend on a hole in the ground," declared Mayor Seagrave. He said that both Levy‘s and the town had made offers for the land but that both had been refused as not high enough. "I was getting river stone with my wife and boy when I was shot at," said Mr. Schoffield. Mr, Perry said he had witnessed the incident.

"Every Sunday you go she complained, "and you don‘t like fish." "Well," said he, "I as possible, don‘t I?" It was decided by council to apâ€" proach the township again with a higher offer with the understandâ€" ing that if it were accepted resiâ€" dents of the area would help out. J. H.
