ENUMERATORS FIND FEW WHO REFUSE TO GIVE CENSUS DATA

, Census enumerators in Richmond have discovered that the female members of several households . are not very well acquainted with the past life of their "hubbies". An enumerator inquired of one wife information, regarding taxes, property nationality of , her husband. The spouse confided that although she had., been, "spliced." for over 25 years, she. had not found out much of his business. " Another enumerator chanced upon a bride.. When he started to ask the routine questions, the bride blushlngly answered that she had been only married for three months and had not obtained very intimate information from her lord and master. " "Didn't Do Much.", This proceedure was reversed when an industrious enumerator chanced upon the, lord of the house. When questioned upon the occupation of the wife, the "husband" answered that his wife bad tried her hand at taking in h washings and doing housework but she really did not do much of anything. He confided that both he and his wife were at present enjoying a week's vacation ' during the Christmas holi days but would both return to work Monday morning. Enumerators in Richmond are experiencing little trouble in collecting data as tne population is educated to the purpose of the census and cheerfully answer all questions. It is hoped to clear up the work by the end of the1 present week. County enumerators also report fa vorable progress but will not clear up their work until the end of the month. Much time must be spent as a detailed report of everything on the farm must be made. The only place in this district where a person refused to give any information at all, was in Shelbyville. This
