C. comes the list of Enumerators who have been tentatively selected for work in Yancey, Madi son, Mitchell and Avery co unties in connection with the Population, Agriculture and Hous in g Census to begin on April 2nd. The taking of the Census will be the most tremendu ous single undertaking ever attempted and will require the services of some 130,000 people in the United States.

As Quasimodo, the heroic bellringer of Notre Dame, >- Laughton breathes life and pathos into the extremely difficult part, evoking heart-tugging sympathy . for the pitiable outcast. t>ok spite the actor’s shocking make-up, his superb artis try makes the immortal Quasimodo human and deeply appealing. 11 1 O' 1 " 1 I .
