THE COUNTY commission said they have sent notices to several lending institutions asking them to rebid on the notes.

The singling out and application of the various curvatures has led to the development and production of a revolutionary new tool for pattern design, drafting and alteration.

Mr. Ganz assumed this position March 3. after working four years in Salt Lake City as Holy Cross Hospital's management housekeeper.

The recipient will simply answer the questions, which will not take long, and then either mail back the form on April or hold it for a census taker to pick up. depending on the instructions. 1 WHAT MAY not be apparent to millions of Americans, as they answer the census in the privacy and convenience of their homes, is the fact that they are making personal contributions to an undertaking so vast, so complex, that the 1980 cnesus qualifies as one of the largest peacetime efforts ever mounted in this country. By the time the last American is counted sometime during the summer, the Bureau of the Census will have reached an estimated 222 million U.S. residents and 86 million housing units, and gathered more than three billion answers. THE 222 million residents, a nine percent population increase since 1970, include some people w ho do not speak English, people with various political opinions, the rich and the destitute, the educated and the illiterate, members of all earths races. The census must also assess their housing homes, houseboats, condominiums, shacks, abandoned" buildings, migsingle-famil- y rant worker camps, jails, school dormitories, at sea, and overseas. The census is expected to count 25 percent more housing units in 1980 than in 1970. At the same time, never in the history of the census, which has been taken every 10 years since 1790, have census findings played as important a role in American life as they do today. Besides the Constitutional mandate to provide a basis for reapportioning seats in the House of Representatives, the census measures how well the Nation is doing, from the block level to the entire country. Its findings are used in the private and public sectors to decide how billions of dollars will be spent annually.

Census figures, besides their role in reapportioning the House of Representatives, are also used by most states to redistrict their legislatures and to adjust boundaries in municipal election areas. American business firms, from local stores to multinational corporations, rely on census statistics when selecting new sites, evaluating product lines, and for other purposes that ultimately affect the state of the Nation's economy. naires as requested. THE REMAINING 10 per- cent, which will receive instructions to hold the completed questionnaires until census takers pick them up, are mostly in sparsely settled areas in the Western half of the Nation. In some cases, the census takers will ask additional questions. Census questions seek basic information about people age, sex, occupation, and the like and about most subjects CONCERN IS often voiced such as housing, personal transportation, and energy about why particular ques- tions are included in the census. For example, one question asks about plumbing facilities. Why? Because, for sevs eral decades, plumbing have been an important indicator of housing quality. The adequacy of plumbing facilities is a key factor in determining which communities receive Federal housing assistance funds. Almost every question in the 1980 census in needed for legislative purposes and often provides valuable data for industry, local government, and others. All census questions survived years of scrutiny and have been reviewed by Congress. use. Most people will be asked to answer a basic census questionnaire, which has 19 questions. About one of five households, chosen randomly, will be asked to answer a longer version with 46 additional questions. faci-lite- FEDERAL LAW requires everyone to answer the census; it also protects the confidentiality of personal information. The only people who can see an individuals replies are census employees, w ho are sworn to secrecy under threat of a $5,000 fine and a prison term.

For several years, advisory committees composed of n Black, Hispanic and leaders have worked with the Census Bureau to devise ways for improving the count of minorities. Similar meetings have been held with Native American leaders. A number of innovative methods will be used during the 1980 census to obtain the best possible count, such as doublechecking households reported vacant and placing census takers in all night movies, taverns, and on street corners in major urban areas to find the uncounted. THERE HAS also been an unprecendented effort by the Asian-America- MOREOVER. THE Bureau designs its procedures to avoid situtations that could lead to a breach of the confidentiality law. Names, addresses, and telephone numbers are never allowed to enter any computer. Social Security numbers are not requested by the census.
