The Lighter Side

By DICK WEST WASHINGTON UFI _ Theoretically, you could be fined $100 and sent to jail for six months for refusing: to tell the U. S. Census Bureau in 1970 whether you share your shower. Now I realize that one of the suggested slogans for National Brotherhood week is “Take a shower with a friend.” And I certainly don’t want to make it appear that I am knocking togetherness. Nevertheless, I am inclined to go along with Rep. Jackson E. Betts, R-Ohio, in hia complaint that some of the items in tha sample questionnaire for the 1970 census could be embarrassing. Among the questions Betts criticized was H19, which asks: “Do you have a bathtub or shower?” There are three possible answers, including “yes, but shared with another household.” You can easily see how that answer might be embarrassing. Particularly if the other household had its own shower. Pointing out in a press release that fines and jail sentences may be imposed on persons who refuse to answer census questions, Betts said the proposed 1970 form amounted to an invasion of privacy and govinunental harassment To this I might add that some of the questions also are diffcult if not impossible to anewer. Take H2N for example. It asks: “How do you enter your livng quarters?” The alternatives listed are: '‘a com hionor public hall; through someone else’s living quarters. 1 That doesn’t begin to cover Hie ways I might enter my livquarters. At least after midnight To be complete, the question' nalre should include: take off shoes and sneak in back door; softly open ktchen window If back door is locked; if window t looked, climb down chimney,

Or consider Hi: “Is there a telephone on which people who

live here can be called?”

I couldn’t smply answer that question “yes” or “no,” as the questionnaire requires. It depends On whether my two

daughters are home.

To me, however, the most shocking inqury on the sample form is found on page 20. It says: “Please list below all persons who stayed here overnght on Tuesday, April 4, 19071

Shopping Guide The following guide to the nation’s food buya for tha weekend was prepared by the Departments of Agriculture knd Interior for United Press (ntematlonaL

WASHINGTON DPI — Weekend shoppers can make their selections from attractive arrays of meat and poultry and fruits and vegetables. At fresh produce counters there will be plentiful supplies of cabbage, onions, and potatoes. In some areas, lettuce and tomatoes are also expected to be plentiful. Apples will be in good supply in most areas and grapes in some areas. Broiler-fryer chickens are In excellent supply in most areas and so are beef roasts and steaks. Pork plentifuls again Include bacon and roasts. Frozen fish fillets and steaks are in good supply in most areas.

In 1970, the date presumbably

wll be advanced.

It so happens that on Tuesday, April 4, 1967, my wife was visiting her mother in Florida, I have already told her I was at home alone, taking a shower. Is the Census Bureau, through snide insinuation, now attempting to stir up trouble retroactively? If so, the questionnaire

is unconstitutional.

It violates the provision against double jeopardy.

By United Presi International More winter-like weather is in store for the Pacific Northwest as that area continues to dominate the nation’s weather pic-

ture.

A rare tornado followed the heaviest winds in five years into Oregon, swirling through Astoria, Ore., and causing widespread but minor damage. Rain continued to fall in the area with an inch reported at Hoquiam, Wash., during a six-

hour period Tuesday. Storm high in the Sierras south of warnings were posted along the Callahan, Calif., where a light coastal area and farther east to p] ane crashed during the storWl

j the Rockies. Frost threatened 1

in Montana, Utah and Idaho. In sharp contrast the temperature rose to the 90s in the Central Plains, with a 91 recorded at North Platte, Neb., breaking a 29-year-old record for Oct. 3. The bodies of three Modesto, | Calif., residents were discoveri ed 'Tuesday more than a mile

that struck the Pacific Coast

Monday.

Drifts of snow up to S fOOt deep had hampered the search and rescue operations. A few scattered showers were" reported early today in the Rockies, northern New England, over the northern Pacific Coast and southern Texas.
