Census Takers Fan Out To Count The Uncounted
m ff AAA AAA Λ Ληΐ l/\/\t/\/4 ·Μ Λ ηΛΜΑ··#« M% uni I A M _# · · " ®. firult where one least ex
muic man ί,υυ,υυυ rtincri
cans, temporarily em
ployed as census takers,
started knocking on the
doors of their countrymen
last week in an effort to
count those not yet enu
merated in the 1980 census,
the U.S. Bureau of the
Census, Department of
Commerce, announced
Monday.
Nearly 87 percent of
those households asked to
mail back their question
naires on or after April 1
had done so by April 14,
according to (he Bureau.
The task now is to find the
remainder and also to con
tinue the traditional door
to-door census-taking that
has been going on this
month in parts of the West,
Main and the northern tips
of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
and Michigan.
Sometimes reaching the
door is the most difficult
part of a census taker's
duties.
On the island of Molokai,
for example, a census
taker must fly in from
Honolulu and then ride a
donkey to find some of the
population. Some remote
households in the Rocky
Mountains are being
reached by census takers
on skis. Near Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, census takers
will pilot airboats on the
bayous to call on those who
have not mailed back their
census forms.
On their appointed
rounds, census takers are
expected to visit pool halls,
nudist camps, jails, all
night movie houses, man
sions, and houses of prosti
tution (always seeing and
hearing no evil, since a
strict Federal law requires
that personal information
be kept confidential).
- Four-wheel-drive ve
hicles prove to be invalu
able for census takers who
must ascend snowy Mauna
Kea on the island of
Hawaii, traverse the rough
tracks along California's
Lower Klamath River, or
scale the hills of West
Virginia, where swinging
rope bridges often must be
crossed on foot.
In other rural areas of
the South and Southeast
and in much of Appalachia,
jeeps and pickup trucks,
and occasionally even
horses, are essential to
navigate the muddy roads
and steep hilly country. A
special challenge is pro
vided by mountain moon
shiners who often will not
give information except to
someone they thoroughly
trust. Census taicers must
convince these people that
they represent the Census
Bureau, not the Treasury
Department.
Some of the biggest chal
,w,6" ui an are in uroan
areas. Inner city ghettos, it
goes without saying, have
been found difficult to
enumerate. It can be safely
said that the Census
Bureau's greatest expendi
ture of time and effort is
made in these core city
neighborhoods.
Interviewing can be dif
pects it. For example,
there are still parts of Long
Island that are so hard to
reach by conventional
transportation that enu
merators must be dropped
off on beaches by the Coast
Guard. After that, they're
on their own, hiking or
hitching rides in dune bug- ι
gies. I
Commissioner's!
Office Needs Its
Power Restored
The insurance commis

iave its power restored "so

asserted Jim Long, a can
lidate for Insurance Com
missioner.
Long served as Xhief

Insurance of North Caro
lina in 1975-76 under Com
missioner John Ingram.
"I intend to be the con
sumer watchdog to see the
public is paying the lowest
rate for the insurance it
auys," he said.
