" I BY THE EDITOR Now that the census is finally fin-ally under way, we take it for jrranted that everyone has finally resigned himself to answering all the questions. One reason why we refuse to be upset by the inquisitive 1 census enumerators and the so-called right of privacy Js our lurking doubt that the American people, really care about privacy. oOo Not so long ago we ran across an account of the first surgical broadcast on record. A man in Seattle had his appendix ap-pendix removed while an announcer an-nouncer at the operating table gave a cut-by-cut, , stitch-by-stilch description over the air waves. - oOo After such an incident in our streamlined age, it seems a little far-fetched for folks to object to questions about wages, marital status, etc., on the grounds of being "inva sion of privacy." And one more thing: In almost every town, everybody know3 everything about his neighbor anyway. The government gov-ernment might get a lot . of valuable information if the census forms had a blank corner with the inscription: "Don't write in this space, reserved for neighbors'-com-, ments." " - , , oOo We haves.aH heard of ridiculous ridicu-lous answers to school examinations exam-inations and radio quiz games, but the leather medal goes to the fellow who thought March 4th was a military command. oOo The L. D. S. church landscape land-scape improvement program is being : extended to ward chapels, stake houses an4 other church grounds in line with the state-wide beautifi-cation beautifi-cation drive for the -1949 U t a h Pioneer , centennial. There is a possibility the pro-, gram will include the L..D. S. tabernacle grounds at ' University Uni-versity avenue and. Center street. "Some changeir in the landscape design of . the grounds might be considered, according to members of the church committee.
