H. B. Smith Is I
Local Enumerator
I
Federal Business Census for
1935 Has Been Started In
This County With Mr.
Smith In Charge, It Is
Announced
I
Announcement was made last
week of the appointment of H. i
B. Smith, of Southport, as en
umerator for Brunswick county |
in compiling a business census j
for the year 1935. J. W. Yates, j
of Wilmington, is district supervisor.
Authorities have stressed the
fact that information given en- j
umerators will be held in strict
confidence. All enumerators and j
other persons connected with the !
census work are under a drastic J
census oath not to disclose or j
discuss any information submitted
for census purposes. Under
the census law it is criminal offense
to violate this confidence:
no access to individual reports is :
permitted, not even to other governmental
state or local agencies,,
and no information will be dis- j
closed which would reveal any
of the facts or figures in the
returns. The census is the oldest j
bureau of the government, est-1
ablished nearly 150 years ago,
and never has it been convicted
? _ |
of a violation of confidence.
All business concerns are asked
to cooperate with the enumerators
who call upon them.
Describing the value of the
census, it was said that from the
results, banks and financial agen-1
cies are enabled to extend commercial
credit more freely because
of more accurate knowl- 1
edge of what const'tutes sound \.
operating expenses and stock J
ratios; newspapers are enabled I >
to establish the consumer mar-11
ket in their circulation fields; -1
wholesalers are able to make a 1
Defter appraisal of their immediate
and potential trade territor- i
ies and thus avoid unproductive
expense; advertising agencies can |
determine comprehensive and accurate
markets for various products;
retailers are supplied with
needed data on their competitive j
situation, not only in their particular
field but also regarding
the extent of other kinds of com-1 ;
petitive business. Real estate
values, proper rental and the j
basis for percentage leases are \
frequently determined from busi-:
ness census data, which have
great weight because they are
strictly factual statements with- j
out prejudice.
As fast as reports are receiv- "
ed they are sent to Philadelphia ?
by registered mail, where they ?
are carefully guarded. Five to j t
eight tabulating cards are pun- 1
ched to record the information i
on each report, and no names or j
addresses appear on these cards, i
The cards are tabulated with ot- i
her cards to produce the figures. a
which are published and become 11
the recognized basic statistics of i
business.
Many Advantages

Corps Institute
Major Ralph E. Davis, officer
in charge of the Marine corps recruiting
district of Savannah, Ga.
with headquarters in the new
post office building, Savannah,
Ga., says that, although there is |
no royal road to knowledge, the'
Marine corps authorities have
opened a way to knowledge for j
members of the corps by means)!
of the Marine Corps Institute
correspondence courses.
"There is an old saying that
knowledge is power, and I believe
that this may be accepted
as true," said Major Davis.
"It is equally true that every
parent wishes to give to his sons
every advantage of education
and, through education, that
power which is so essential today
in meeting and solving the in- i
tricate problems of life.
"Unfortunately, not all parents
are in a financial position to continue
the education of their sons
beyond the high school, and it
is at this point of a youth's career
that thoughtful, loving parents
may well devote a litte time
to mature deliberation and serious
consideration of the many
advantages which will accrue to
any young man from enlistment
in the U. S. Marine corps. Enlistment
in this fine old corps of
the Federal armed forces immediately
renders a youth self-supporting,
thus helping to ease the
financial strain under which so
many of our citizens are struggling
at present.
"Athletics and sports are en
couraged among our personnel as
the government provides all the
equipment, and these in conjunction
with regular and healthful
lives insure sound bodies.

Says AI Smith
Warning of dangers of class
war and bureaucratic suppression
of American liberties under the
New Deal, Alfred E. Smith dej
manded tonight that the democratic
party "re-establish the
principles" of the platform upon
which President Roosevelt was
elected. That platform, he said,
except for regulation of the stock
exchange and repeal of prohibition,
has been "thrown in the
wastebasket."
Negligence
An executive of the company j
which owned the Morro Castle I
and two officers in charge when j
the vessel burned off the New j
Jersey coast in September, 1934, |
with a loss of 124 lives, were j
convicted of negligence Saturday j
by a federal jury.
Forms Cabinet
Prenjier Albert Sarraut hastily j
formed the 101st cabinet of the j
third French republic Thursday j
to keep peace among France's j
bickering political forces until!
the spring elections. The succes-1
sor to Pierre Laval postponed his;
appearance in the chamber of
deputies, however, until next I
Thursday, to be certain he would
not be overthrown before Presi-;
dent Albert Lebrun and two of
his ministers, Pierre-Etienne Flan-:
din and Francois Pietri, could attend
the Windsor funeral of King
George V, of England.

ed they will be marked with
buoys on the surface and the
trawlers will be able to avoid
them It is not desired to blow
up any of the wrecks as this
would scatter debris all over the
trawling grounds and make the
work of trawling still more dangerous
to nets.
It has been estimated that fifteen
to twenty thousand doliars
are lost by the trawlers each
year through having their nets,
boards and tow lines torn completely
off when they get hung
on the obstructions whose location
the boatmen have no way
of knowing of. In addition to
completely losing many nets hundreds
are ripped to pieces each
season.
Supplemention the petitions,
which only the shrimp boatmen
were allowed to sign, and which
have the distinction of not having
been turned down by a single
person who was approached for
his signature, there was a Resolution
heartily commending the
undertaking passed by the State
Department of Conservation and
Development on January 22nd.
Mayor John Eriksen, in behalf
of the city of Southport wrote a
strong letter in behalf of the
work, as have various other influential
citizens.
