It is probably the most wipnt rook the first one. in 1790. - The takiner of a census every 10 years is provided by the institution. The original purpose was simply to determine " :the number of representatives Congress. V ThP Constitutiorr. statinor tion, continues: "The actual enunieration shall be made with in three vears after the first United States,1 and within every in such manner as they shall by law direct. me nrst census cen-sus was. as a matter of fact, taken only about one year after the first Congress assembled, years since. ': i The actual field work of taking the 1940 census will not 'Jbegin for about a year, but already careful plans are being " made to make it yield not only population figures necessary ' to annortionintr reDresentation amonir the states, but a vast amount of further data which to any real understanding of our national problems. ! The law of 1930 required the Bureau of the Census to '''cover population, occupation, unemployment, agriculture, irrigation, ir-rigation, drainage, manufacture, mines and quarries, and -business. Director William L. Austin is already receiving hundreds ' of suggestions as to what ought to be included. - 1 First, it should be remembered that since the depression, we have never had an accurate "count of the unemployed. ..Estimates by labor organizations and manufacturers' and -business associations are all we have. z;5 So one of the primary jobs of the census, after the Basic iBiount of all people, is to find out for the first time how many unemployed people there really are in this country. If possible, possi-ble, it should find out how many of these are able to work if iwork, is offered them. Then we would at last have something basic on which :to mount our guns in attacking the problem. If it should be possible for the census bureau to devise some means whereby f this data could then be brought up to date, say once a year, Hjn the future, it would be performing a national service. Major revelations may be expected. How greatly has the population shifted back toward the country from the "cities? How many aliens live among us? What have recent drouths done to the population of states affected? How many transients are there? And so on. First step in solving any problem is to know the facts. We know all too little about our situation today, and a careful care-ful and intelligent census should be of utmost value in giving the light whereby we may better find our way. Twelve years ago a Joilet,' 111., man. started out in search of a job. The other day he returned without the job. What a line of applicants there must have been !

BY BRUCE CATTON ( Provo Herald Washington Correspondent ) WASHINGTON, March 9 When the house reversed itself and agreed to appropriate $17,-206,000 $17,-206,000 to enable the TVA to proceed with construction of the Gilbertsviile dam. congress warded ward-ed off a warpath whoop by Nebraska's Ne-braska's Senator Norris. George Norris is a mild and peaceful man. But, if you touch the TVA, you arouse one of the most determined and effective fighters in Washington. The house had whittled down the TVA appropriation for. next year. But a senate switch sent the bill to conference. The house voted to accept senate action. The reduction would have halted work on Gilbertsviile dam, some 20 miles from the mouth of the Tennessee river and in case you had supposed that the bulk of the heavy construction work in TVA had already been done, you may be surprised to learn that Gilbertsviile is designed to be the Tennessee's largest and most important dam. It will cost more than $112,000,000 when completed. com-pleted. "They've already spent $5,000,-000 $5,000,-000 on Gilbertsviile," says Sena-tor-Norris. "They've organized the job, moved in there, built houses for the workers, brought machinery in and got in the midst of construction. If this appropriation appropri-ation stayed out, the organization would have been destroyed and much of the work would have deteriorated." AIDS FLOOD CONTROL, NAVIGATION Gilbertsviile dam will produce considerable electricity, but it is not primarily a power dam. It was designed chiefly as a flood control project and as an aid to navigation, and in the former capacity it probaMy will help B-linois B-linois and the lower, Mississippi valley states more than Tennessee. Tennes-see. ;": ; :f . "It will hold back more flood water, thanany other dam east of the Mississippi says Senator Norris.. . "It wilL very materially lower the flood ,est . at "Cairv., rrBj : ; WILLIAMS By Clark HT. 3-S you and dad will tell me what Ja - da, jing, jing, jine.' " 111., for instance, and all the way on the Ohio and Mississippi from the mouth of the Tennessee to the Gulf. "As a navigation proposition, it's of value to the entire Tennessee Ten-nessee river. The Tennessee is now navigable above Gilbertsviile for a great portion of its length, made so by TVA, but at Gilbertsviile Gilberts-viile it's like the neck of a. bottle. bot-tle. In the dry season when the river is low, navigation throughout through-out the length of the Tennessee is shut off, because there's no way to get into the river over that stretch which the Gilbertsviile dam will make navigable." "The lake formed by Gilbertsviile Gilberts-viile dam will extend more than 200 miles up the river. It's really the key 'dam to the entire Tennessee Ten-nessee river, and if it hadnt been built, millions of dollars already spent on the Tennessee in the building of other dams would have been made useless." ''' NEGOTIATE FOR ELECTRIC POWER Senator Norris is also sponsoring spon-soring legislation to give TVA the necessary authority to complete com-plete the contract recently negotiated nego-tiated for purchase of the electric properties of the Tennessee Electric Elec-tric Power Co. i This deal was negotiated this winter between TVA and Wendell Wilkie, president of the Commonwealth Common-wealth and Southern Corp., which controls the Tennessee Electric Power Co. It was hailed In Wall Street as a victory for "private industry, particularly for the private power industry,4 but it does not disturb Senator Norriat-although ' he does think that :the $78,000,000 price 'agreed on is too high, .v -i ?it certainly meets the- objection objec-tion that TVA is unfair, and unjust un-just to private companies,'! ?he says. "Why? 'they're paying $10,-000,000 $10,-000,000 mort than -the property la physically worth." xThe nlrchase price, incidentally, incidental-ly, is to be raised by sale of -bonds, and not through a congressional appropriation.

"All right tMs way then." He reversed their direction. "Now, tell Uncle Barney all about it." "No, Barney. I can't. . . . Just take me home, please." "Say, listen, honey," Barney said. "I took a lady home from a party once because she seemed to think she had to go in a hurry, and nearly got my fool block lqiocked off by the boy friend when I got back. This knight-errant business can ie pushed too far. I'm not rescuing any more damsels in distress without good and sufficient reasons. Where's the fair-haired boy?".o Hes I don't know." v Barney turned and stared down the veranda behind them for a long moment, and Janet felt his arm stiffen under her hand. Then he said, his voice roughening suddenly, sud-denly, "I get it . . . You've finally got the layout, too. I think I knew all along, for I never did manage to kid myself about Cyn thia in any big way. . . . O-kay, Jan. Wait for me at the side drive.

"But Barney, it sounds danger ous. "Not necessarily. No one but the boss and I will suspect what I'm up to till it's all in the bag. No ope expects a sports reporter to have eyes for anything but fouls and knockouts." CO Barney talked quietly on, and Janet listened, steadied and quieted by the listening. To Janet's surprise, she learned that he had been writing on current events for some time, and had even had several articles published pub-lished in current magazines. It was almost five when they finally drove home. Lance was sitting in the living room, white and rigid, while Aunt Mary knitted quietly in her low chair by the fireplace. "Well, I must say, McKnight, Lance began, his voice tight with anger, "you and Janet have put me in a pretty spot Can't you imagine how I felt after hunting all over the hotel for you, Janet to be told that you'd gone but hours ago, with another man? And your aunt has been frantic with worry." "I have not" contradicted Aunt Mary flatly, "been at all frantic especially after I learned that Janet was with Barney." Janet, who knew this was a high-handed pervarication, almost smiled. Lance flushed with annoyance an-noyance and turned back to -J anet "I thought? he began icily, "that we agreed it was best just now to. be seen together as much as possible. What will people think". "Now, that is an important consideration," con-sideration," Barney interrupted smoothly. "It doesn't matter, I suppose,' what you do in private? Well,' that ought to go both ways, oughtn't it?" "Please," BarneyJ" Janet broke in before Lance could reply. Then she. turned to Lance. . . .

"Lance," she asked quietly, "What difference can it possibly make what other people think about us, when all this A time . neither of us has seemed ta have; any idea what the other was thinking?

Won't you just go away, Lance? V; A FTER a moment Lance said in a smothered voice, "YouH be sorry tomorrow, Janet At least we might do this thing with tome dignity." Janet even smiled a little at that her eyes very bright and dark and steady in her white face. "Dignity?" she echoed. "What a funny word that can be! And somehow just now, I'd rather be honest than dignified. ... I wish you'd go, Lance. And please don't come back." Then Lance did go, without a word. When Barney lunged about as if to follow him, Aunt. Mary quickly turned the key in the lock and planted her smau person against the hall door. " "1 . "Oh, no, young man!" she said. "I'm here to see that he has at least five minutes' start I'm not going to have you 'knocking bis block off,' as I suppose you would term it on my . doorstep.
