QUESTIONS BEING ASKED BY ~
T (ffi CENSUS ENUMERATORS
J' he questions being asked by ih?
enumerators in the 1930 census of
population, as announced by William
M. Steuart, director, Bureau of Gea
sus, are as follows: ^
1. Relationship td head of family,
including a statement as to the
homemaker in each family.
2. Whether home is owned or rent
- ed. m
3. Value of home, if owned, pr
monthly rental, if ranted.
4. Radio set? ("Yes" or "No")
5. Does this family live on a farm?
("Yes" or "No*)
6. Sex,
7. Color or race.
8. Age^at last birthday.
9. Marital condition.
10. Age. at first marriage. (For mar
rieu persolis only.)
11". Attended school or college any
time since Sept. 1, 1929?
12. Whether able to read and write.
13. Place of birth of person. (State
or country).
1-1. Place of birth of person's father.
State or country).
15. Place of birth of person's mother.
16. Mother tongue of each foreign
born person.
17. Year of immigration to the
United States. (For foreign
i>orn only).
18. Whether naturalized. (For for
eign-born only).
19. Whether able to speak English.
(For foreign-born only).
20. Occupation of . each gainful
worker
21. Industry in which employed.
22. Whether employer, employee, or
. working on own account.
23. Whether actually at work. (For
each person usually employed but
returned as not at work, addi
tional information will be secur
ed on a special unemployment
schedule).
24. Whether a veteran of the United
"States military or naval forces;
and for each veteran, in what
war or expedition he served.
Among the most important of the
new questions is that calling for the
value of the home if owned, or the
monthly rental if rented. This will
make possible a classification of fam
ilies according to economic status,
or perhaps one might say ' according
to buying power. Such a classifica
tion i.> urgently desired by individu
als and firms using the census figures
as a basis for organizing their sell
ing and advertising campaigns and
will serve many other purposes. The
replies ti> these questions will be
used only as a basis for classification
of the families into broad groups,
and particular pains Will be taken to
see that the information given by any
.. J
individual for his home is not in any
way made public.
Another" new question is that
which asks for the age at first mar
riage. This will serve two purposes.
In the first place it will give definite
information as to the relative age at
marriage of persons of different ra- i
oial and economic groups. In 'he
second place it will make possible a
tabulation of important dnta on the
size, of families,, suon tabulation to
be bar>ed on the number of children
reported in the families of women
who have been married a stated
number of yeais.
i The question on radio iets will
give a direct answer to the question
as to how large the potential radio
audience is.
In the classification of gainful
workers according to occupation and
industry it is proposed to put much
greater stress than heretofore on the
returns for industry, and to instruct
enumerators to pay special attention
to this section of the schedule.
Women doing housework in their
own homes (or supervising such work
done by servants) and carrying the
other responsibilities of the home
will be designated as home-makers.
This designation will be entered in
the family relationship column of the
schedule, rather than in the occupa
tion column, in order that those wo
men who follow a profession or
other gainful occupation, in addition
to being home-makers, may be
properly classified in respect to both
lines of activity.

ASHWORTH HEADS *
BREVARD LEGION
Jo Faint Brevard Sign for the
Guidance of Air Service
; ? Membership Drive
Ciyde 4shworth, popular business
mar of Brevard, ,?nd member of the
Brevard board of aldermen, was
elected commander of the Monroe
Wilson Pt>5t, American Legion, last
Friday night at ? meeting of that
organization held in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms. Other officers
elected were:
B. H. Freeman, vice coamander;
lAlvin Rockwood, adjutant; T. P.
1 Ward, finance officer; Ralph R.
Fisher, service officer, and the Rev.
Harry Perry namsd to the post of
chaplain.
Of especial interest to the whole
community was the decision reached
to paint an airplane sign on top of
the Erwin building. The lettring is
| to be white against black back
ground, with a large arrow pointing
to the noith, and the words: "Bre
'vard, North Carolina." Legion posts
in all cities are showing their inter
est in aviation by performing this
service for their respective towns
and cities.
1 A membership drive is now on,
and it is hoped to enroll practically (
! every man eligbile for membership
in the Legion. It is felt that as the '?
American Legion is the one organiz- 1
ation through which all the men who
saw service in the great World War
can voice their sentiments on pro
posed legislation, or obtain just
claims which these men have upon
| the government, that all the men ;
ogth to be in the Legion and lend |
their influence to their fellows who
served with them. The American
Legion has been a powerful factor
sinoe its organization just after the
iwar closed, and even the citizens
who are noteligible to membership,
but who recognize and appreciate
the work done by those who were in
the service, express the hope that
this membership drive will be suc
cessful.
