MOUNTAIN BACKROAO Mailmen Will Aid In . Filial Phase Of Census One of the final steps In lbs 1970 census in rural and small city areas of tbs southern States—a cheek hgr mailmen— Is now inter nay, according to tbs U. S. Department of Com. merce’s Bureau of tbs Census, The *70 census was taken by two methods: by mall-out and mall-back of questionnaires in most major metropolitan areas and by census takers in the rest of the United States. The latter procedure entailed tbs mailing out of questionnaires and aubse quent visits by census takers who would pick up filed-ln forms or, lacking this, itesrview while following a house-to-house route. Canvassing in the metropoli tan areas required checking of addresses fay postal employees before the mallout. A similar step is now being taken by mail men following the visits by cen sus takers. This is tbs procedure: When census district offices complet ed their preliminary counts, they turned over to the post of fice a set of white cards list ing every address canvassed. The mailmen In turn cheek these addresses against the households on their routes, K the mailman discovers what he considers a ‘‘missed” address, hs mis out a blue card noting fids foet.
