EXPANSION OF CENSUS
PROGRAM is ANNOUNCED

An expansion in the Current
Population Survey, designed to inn
prove Federal statistics on employ
ment and unemployment, was an
nounced today by Supervisor
Joseph R. Norwood of the Census
Bureaus district office at Char
lotte, N. c., which participates in
the survey.
The expansion in the Current
Population Survey, which has been
conducted on a sample basis by
the Census Bureau for more than
decade, will involve both an in
crease in the number of households
which are interviewed each month
and an enlargement in the num-
Der of sample areas covered by
Census enumerators. The eXpan-
sion will be a gradual one, begin
ming in December. This is being
done in order to provide ample
time to train new interviewers and
to observe their efficiency in prac-
/ ce enumerations as we'll as apply
ing rigid tests to the sample data
They collecr.
The supervisor pointed out that
the Current Population Survey is
authorized by law. This law pro-
vides that all information about
individuals be kept in strict conf
dence and that only statistical TO-
tails be published. Information OBJ
tanned in the current Population
Survey cannot be used for taxation
investigation or regulation.

of negligee. You'll have to imagine
i'll can't. 1t is 20 be supposed,
though, that anyone who could af-
ford such elegance could afford a
maid to put on the coffee.
We can't very we'll go back to
1905. Grandmother wouldn't be
caught dead today in boa clasp;
and if Grandfather wears a vest,
we will presume that it came COM
plete with buttons. Daughter
probably wouldn't carry an UNI
brella, either cheap or expensive,
even if she were drowning in the
rain. However, there must be
something little cheaper than the
suggestions from the Raleigh store.
If not, many of us will have to
adopt as our theme song 81 Amt
Gonna Get Muffin for Christmas"
1t might be a good idea if gifts
were limited to the size that could
be put in a stocking. That way a
cir. would sattle for little old
diamond ring, a watch, pearls or
any little trinket if she doesn't
care for expensive lingerie. Lack
ing those, she might even settle for
the stocking if it happens to match
the pair that has runs.
The December 1866 issue of the
Journal also carries the menu for
the Christmas dinner served at the
Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg in
1774. Our forbears might have
been conservative when it came to
presents, but when it came to eat
ing they put US moderns in the
shade. The menu included two main
courses, each consisting of choice
of eight to fifteen dishes, with
many side dishes to follow. No
wonder people is general were
fatter and died younger than is the
average today. Just to see the
grocery bill after that kind of
feast today would be enough to
take one off with laundering apop-
lexy..
The moral of all that is, L sup
pose, if you wouldn't like the
! presents suggested in 1905 and the
thought of eating a 1774 dinner
gives you indigestion, be thankful
that the good old days are good
and gone.

What to give for Christmas:
By CAROLYN LLOYD


Grandmother: high-buckled arc
tics, a boa clasp; Grandfather, silk
shoelaces, vest buttons; Mother:
alcohol lamp, ivory toilet pieces;
daughter: colored pumps with hose
to match; for the girl away from
home: fudge pans, cheap umbrella
for lending and storms. Those sug-
gestions are from the Ladies Home
Journal, December, 1905. Now what
old Mother do with that alcohol
lamp, do you suppose? Girls in
those days must have eaten a lot
Of fudge, for practically every
magazine of that period carried
recipes and suggested equipment.
One thing is obvious: people were
much more sensible about Christ
pas giving fifty years ago.
The contrast between t..e above
list and an al from Ivey-Taylors in
Raleigh which T. ade suggestions
for Christmas, 1866, is pretty
startling. There was peignuir for
a mere $99.95 lin case you don't
know, that is a fancy word for
negligee), a gown (not evening
mighty for $69.95, a cheap little
nightgown for $49.95, and a pair
of black lace briefs for $12.95.
Somebody mast buy those things
or the manufacturers wouldn't
make them nor the stores lock
them, but to US average mortals
the thought of going to !'>d in
garment that costs $69.95 is over
whelming. I'm d G inc stumbling

MacArthur Says Documents Confirm
 He Wasn't Consulted About YaIta

from Macarthur.
 It was in the light of this argu- ment the Pentagon agreed to make public an edited record as to the entry of Russia into the Pacific fighting.
 The document quotes MacAr- thur directly only twice.
 The Pentagon record did in clude summaries by two War De- partment officers of conversations they said they had with MacAr- thur when they reported to him in February 1945 the decisions reached at the Yalta conference which arranged for Russian entry into the war.
 Brig. Gen. George A. Lincoln said Macarthur told him Russia probably would be getting some territory anyhow and ''it was only right that they the Russians) should share the cost in blood in defeating Japan"
 Col. Paul L. Freeman wrote that MacArthur "emphatically stated that we must not invade Japan proper unless the Russian army is previously committed to action in Manchuria."
