CENSUS ENUMERATORS
BUN AGAINST SNAG
That census taking is no easy job
is being .realized just now . v the
ladies who arc the census enumera- '
tors
Their lines have not a.toge hcr fal
len in pleasant places, and it is urg
ed upon that portion of tlie commu
nity upon whom they hive not yet
called that they le ready when the
census enumerators do call, and 1 e
-prepared to give direct, intelligent
answers to the questions asked.
A census enumerator is a govern
ment employe, and as such must be;
recognized and respected
They are not expected to visit the]
homes lui once, la* the Annapolis!
enumerators have 1 een forced to go!
to some houses two and tven three;
times. This is not fair to them. Some (
one in the family should be at home;
and able to answer questions.
The census enumerators who in
clude Miss Leitch. Miss Moss and Miss
King, are experiencing difficulty with
the foreign residents, some of whom
it is impossible do comprehend, and
who do not understand what the cett-t
s;t taking is all at out.
But the difficulty does not lie al
together with the foreign lorn, but
vi h the native lorn as well.
sAVhen ask<*i yesterday ly one of;
he enumerators of thb 1920 census
where he was born, a male resident ]
'of the eastern section of the town]
replied. “In that room." and further]
s'*.id his father “was horn there, too.”]
'•'But,” asked the enumerator, "were
u lorn in Annapolis.” “Sure, we]
v.ere all lorn here," was the reply. !
The census enumerators are hav- j
lag troubles of their own. but hope!
people who can will try to le consid-j
tratc and obliging in the work of:
