Once the censors get a taste of the power ‘they wield they know not where —or when—to stop. It appears to me that the innate decency of the people will in time find some way to rid the news stands and book-shelves of ob jectionable magazines and books without resorting to censorship. 1 I am a trifle skeptical of those fast readers who claim to read , a full-length book in a matter lof several hours minutest, to hear some tell.it. These speedy readers will draw one or more books from a library one day and return them the next —all read! I wonder. I have read many books in my lifetime, but I can't compete with these read ers for speed. In the first place. I have no desire to rush through a book. I want to take it leis urely. enjoy the book, learn to P i l_ really knov/ the people who j‘ weave through its pages; and if ; its non-fiction, I want a little r time to thoroughly digest the ? facts the book contains. I think 5 that is the way a book should f be read, and not as a race with 1 time. ' I have recently had as many 5 as three garbage cans stolen from in front of my house. To ? say that I am burned up about l it is putting it mildly. Anyone who’ll swipe a garbage can must ! certainly have an inordinate , fondness for garbage.

Matter oumet Bloom*. Secretary Census Proving More Personal! » ' The census taker is getting ] more personal all the time. The ancient Romans simply counted noses and property, chiefly for the purpose of tax ation, according to World Book Encyclopedia. William the Conqueror com piled a little more information on who-owned-what when he decided to spread some paycla, in the form of land, among hisj followers . . g at the expense of the nobility. When his officials finished adding up the English people and their possessions in 1086, they had two huge volumes called the Domesday Book. European cities kept to the bare facts when they began to count their population in the 1400’s and 1500’s. The first such count was taken in Nuremburg, Germany, in 1449. Three hundred years later Sweden compiled the first na tional census, based on parish records. In 1790 the fledgling U. S. government sent out 17 mar shals and a few hundred assist jants to count the population in | order to provide a basis for tax ing the states and to determine the number of representatives they would have in Congress. The first great invasion cf pri vacy occurred in 1850, when census takers began to write down the names of all people in the country. They also classi fied the population according to age, sex, race and place of birth. Soon the “enumerators” were poking their noses into such matters as occupation, education, income, marital status and the fertility cf women. In 1950 they wanted to know about your plumbing. This year they’re going to find out whether you’re really keep ing up with the Joneses. A sample of the population will be asked whether they own a wash ing machine, a clothes dryer, a food freezer and air condition ing . . . and the number of cars in the family garage.
