Over 4,5OO Firms
 Formally Checked By Investigators
Results of Work to Be Officially Published Sometime in July-MinOr Delays OccasiOned By Requests
 for Extension of Time in PrepartiOn of Data

business houses is going on at the present time and the local director stated he expected the work to be completed and sent on to the de- partment of Commerce in Wash ington by the end of the month.
 26 On Staff
 In connection with the close of this work of investigation, MT. Fin negan asks all business firms to CO., operate by furnishing the necessary census information as quickly as possible. At present there are 26 workers conducting the canvass in the fifth congressional district.
 we realize that some firms re- quire more time than others in as- sembling the information, MT. Fin negan said, "but it is imperative that the reports be sent to Phil adelphia without delay so that the statistics can be compiled and is- sued by July"
 "The timeliness of such statis- tics", he added, greatly enhances their value. More than 5,000,000 reports must be handled by the Bureau, and delay in cooperation delays the statistics for the entire State"
 "The inquiries have been made as simple as possible, he continued, ito make the task of supplying the information easy, and have been shaped to secure facts that will be of maximum value to business"
 Business Purposes
 The local director declared that the Census now being taken is @ continuation of the regular Bushes Census work of the Bureau of the Census, and is for business use, not for Governmental purposes. Its scope is the result of requests from business organizations, and it has the full support of all branches of business.
 He reiterated previous assurances that all enumerators and other per- sons connected with the Census are under oath not to disclose or dis cuss any information submitted for Census purposes, and that under the Census law no access to indiv- idual reports is permitted, not even to other Governmental, State or To- cal agencies, and no information will be disclosed which would in any way reveal the facts or figures giv- en in the returns.
 Reports In July
 "The Census Bureau expects, he said, ito publish the results for this State by July 1st unless there is delay in obtaining the relatively few reports still out. Since the first few States released receive nation wide publicity, and comparisons with the previous Census will show such a healthy increase in business, we want nothing to delay the can- vass here."

LETTERS. TO THE EDITOR

>enced who becomes the prey Of
criminals long since lost from
the world Of decency which once
held them.
Take the case, Of the young
man from Alexandria who paid
with his life, for being in the
company Of ,.eyfl associates.
He was innocent Of murder but
the law Snuffed out his 81 years
Of manhood and there was no
one to save him or the other
youths who paid the same price,
was very much interested in
that sentence and I searched the
paper each day hoping to find
that the governor had interceded
to save these young men. after
the leader took all the blame of
murder upon his own soul. My
heart went out to that father in
Virginia who battled bravely for
the life Of his son. It was my
earnest hope that he would be re.
warded with influential aid.
In the next State, an alien
received a reprieve even though
a jury had convicted him Of
numbering the son Of Americas
Hero Of the Air. It seemed so
unjust that the lives Of these
native-born youths we're so speed
lily rushed into another world.
The real need today is to in
still strong character in the chill
dren who are now growing to
ward maturity. We want to teach
them to use a negative answer
when some sinister influence tries
to make headway with them.
