Behind the Scenes
In American Business
BY John Crdddock

Time was when the only way
to keep abreast of changes in
population both for the country
and for Individual communities
and market areas, was to adjust
the ten-year census figures by
changes in electric light meters,
school enrollments and tele-
phone installations. These were
admittedly inaccurate in the
SmCotheSt times-noW they are
less dependable because you
can't tell much about population
from telephone figures when
lack of equipment has delayed
new installations.
For chambers of Commerce,
retailers and others whose bust
ness depends on periodic checks
of how population in individual
communities changes, the Gen.
sus Bureau has some new tips.
Ration book registrations pro-
vide a new y%ardstick, but it must
be used carefully. For one thing,
there are about a million people
over the county in institutions
where they are not eligible for
ration books. For another, it is
estimated that some persons,
through error or chicanery, get
duplicate ration books, and
these amount to 0.16 per cent of
the total figures.
Procedure for using ration
book figures, then, is this. First
correct them for known num-
bers of institution inmates.
Then reduce the total figure by
DIG per cent. Book 3 figures
were not classified by areas. But
Book 4 will be available with
data as to age and sex.
