from the North end of the county,

of pre-school children, number of
persons in military service, number
of persons in college, number who
have completed high school, num-
Der who dropped from school be-
fore graduation and grade level at
which they stopped. 1t will also

sons within the age group, the
number of households within the
county, the number of handicapped
persons.
All residents of the county are
requested to cooperate with the
census takers by giving complete
information. A house-to house
canvas will be made and much
time will be saved if the head of
the household could be at home
when the census taker calls. Resi-
dents who are not contacted with
in the week of November Z are
asked to notify Mrs. Robert Gibbs,
Chairman of the Citizens Com
mittee, or the superintendent of
