CENSUS ENUMERATORS
1 ARE BUSY IN CITE
Enumeration of the -population ci
the city is now well under way and the
several vouug ladies of Annapolis, who
j are engaged in collecting this statistk--
i al information for the government are
busy for several hours each day with
) their work of calling at the house.- and
; making their reports.
These reports are sent directly by
; the enumerators to Dr. Carrico, of St.
, j Mary’s county, who is in supervision of
; the census-taking in Anne Arundel am!
* several other of Southern Maryland
; counties.
The young ladies who are doing the
, work are quite enthusiastic about it,
being stopped by neither cold nor rain,
both of which have come within the
past few- days to test tae.r determina
tion to go out and get the information
desired. The task of collecting this
v !ata is one which require- a certain
| amount of accuracy, since all i f# the
answers to question are, so far as in
i dividuals are concerned, held in strict
; confidence by the government officials.
For this reason great care is invar; ly
exercised in selecting the enum faior;

During the ptrioti of ac.ive war,
and for the first year fol owing tlie

Red Cross to hold loth it#- plans and
its resource* in a highly inolile state
in order to he alls’ to meet promptly
the constantly shifting demut.-ds tu’

now complete assurat\ce is by iv

Wi’h thi - opportunity to look ahead;
it is the first desire of the admiuis-'

Cross, as well us the public general

may le with the obligations, re

The year 1920 must obviously sec

It mm be. therefore, necessarily,
a year of active ‘ planning-, not only
for the national administration. ' ut
for every chapter as well. For that
reason we make the new year th
occasion, prior to the preparation and

Comptroller, of giving a 'statement of
