Census Taker Asks,'Were You Counted?' Were you counted in Census ’7O? With the 1970 Census of Population and Housing virtually completed locally, District Manager Thomas B. Reed announced the beginning of a “Were You Counted?” campaign to insure that no resident of the area has been overlooked. If you think you or your family might,have been missed, you are urged to notify the census district office by means of a “Were You Counted?” form. Area newspapers are printing these forms in their current editions as a public service. Prompt mailing of the “Were You Counted?” forms will speed up the compilation of preliminary population figures for the area. Preliminary figures giving the total population of incorporated places of 10,000 or more population, and for counties, will be issued as soon as the District Manager is convinced that a complete count has been made. Final, detailed population figures will be issued from Washington later this year after returns have been tabulated by the Census Bureau’s electronic computers. The importance of a complete count was stressed by the District Manager. He pointed out that the population figures compiled in the current census must stand as official until the next Federal census. “Representation in the U.S. Congress and the State Legislature is determined by the population count as ascertained in the census. Federal funds are allotted to States and State funds, in turn, are allotted to counties and municipalities on a per capita basis. So a short count means under representation in the Federal and State law-

making bodies and under allottment in government funds. Thus, it is imperative that we have a complete count. The help of every resident of the area is needed to reach this goal,” he said. DANNY GREGORY TO CLAIM BRIDE IN MAY Danny Gregory of North Webster will claim Miss Roberta Knisely as his bride in the United Methodist church in Warsaw May 9 according to the announcement made by her father, Jack Knisley of Warsaw. Mr. and Mrs. Preston Gregory of Pierceton are the parents of the bridegroom to be. Miss Knisley is a graduate of Warsaw Community high school and is a receptionist and secretary for Drs. Cooney, Beutler and Hoog of Fort Wayne. Her fiance is a graduate of South Whitley high school and is owner of the Gregory Body shop at North Webster. Rep. Mauzy Delegate To GOP Conference State representative Thames Mauzy of Warsaw was chosen one of 26 delegates from Indiana to attend a Republican leadership conference at the WashingtonHilton Hotel in Washington, D C., this week end. His group will leave from Indianapolis Wednesday noon and return on Sunday. President Nixon is scheduled to speak to the group Wednesdaynight. and there will be two sessions with cabinet members.
