THREE
School Teachers
For Census Task
In 1950 Proposed
Bv JANE EADS
WASHINGTON. The Bureau
of the Census has come forth
with the proposal that facts for
the 1950 census be collected as
far as possible by school teachers
willing to work as regularly paid
enumerators. According to of
ficials of the bureau the plan
"frankly seeks to capitalize upon
the assets of the teaching pro
fession." In a pamphlet issued to the
profession it suggests that the
teachers "by profession and se
lection are well prepared to en
ter quickly Into the important
tasks of census enumeration. If
about 600,000 teachers and other
qualified school employes volun
teer, the work will require about
one week of full-time service,
plus some additional time for
training, follow-up and verifica
tion," the bureau estimates.
"The teachers of America built
an enviable record for effective
work rinrinff th WnrlH War Kn
other group of public employes is
more widely recognized by the
ublic for their idealism and their
iterest in the general welfare."
i jui me iaineris uitfniiMrivi-"ft,
It is pointed out that they would
gain an opportunity to serve in
an important national undertak
ing and their direct contact with
the community in an important
service capacity would add to
their prestige. Other advantages
would include:
'.'Experience in dealing with
people of gaining a compre
hensive acquaintance with the
area in which their school serves.
.Realization of the nature of many
phases of American life and of
the sources of statistical informn.
tion which may be used later in
the classroom. Satisfaction in
knowing that they have contrib
uted to the development of more
exact information on our popula
tion, industries, occupations, ag
riculture and housing."
The 123,000 enumerators who
collected the 1940 census facts
were selected from all groups
available for employment at the
time. But the Bureau of the
Census believes that procedures
used in the past have resulted in
errors and incompleteness in the
information compiled.
School officials and boards of
education are asked to conskbr
making it possible for teachers
and other qualified school per
sonnel to serve as enumerators
by adjusting the school calender
1949-50 to allow a week of free
time during the period of April
1 to 15, 1950.
Soldier Romeo
Flooc tnrlrarla
BERLIN, Dec. 21. (For
mer Paratrooper Edward J. Lada,
who cracked the Russian block
ade for his love (or loves), has
disappeared from the U. S. Army
jail where he was held.
His absence from the stockade
was discovered Saturday night.
MP's went immediately to the
homes of his two German girl
friends, one of them the mother
of his two-year-old daughter.
Lada was not with either of them.
Lada had been held at the
Army stockade on charges of Ille
gal entry into Berlin. The 28-year-old
Newark, N. J., veteran hitch
hiked through the Soviet zone in
November. He was arrested after
he went to the U. S. consulate to
try to legalize his visit.
Lada told authorities he had
come to see his sweetheart. He
didn't say at first there were two
of them.
He said he came for Ursula
Schmidt, blonde 21-year-old act
ress. Then he said he wanted to
marry Ruth Riecki, 23-year-old
mother of his daughter. He asked
for a visa for Ruth and the baby.
She already had been turned
down once because of ill health.
Ursula told military police she
wrote to Lada and "told him off."

Delivery Is Urge
Last call was sounded today by
Postmaster L. L. Wimberly for
patrons wishing to have Christ
mas cards and gift parcels de
livered to cities any distance by
Christmas day.
Emphasizing that only five
days remain until Christmas, the
local postmaster warned late
mailers that air mail and air par
cel post facilities should be used
exclusively. Otherwise, due to
the unprecedented volume of
mail now in transit, gifts travel
ing by slower methods face the
probability of not reaching their
destination in ample time.
He pointed out that mail going'
by air will reach any city in the
United States overnight, and in
some instances will reach over
seas points in 24 hours, particu
larly to United States possessions
and territories as well as Canada,
Mexico and Cuba.
"With a modern postal system
second to none, our 42,000 post
offices stand prepared to expedite
incoming and outgoing holiday
traffic through the last minute.
However, tardy patrons must
take the responsibility from here
on out unless they use our fast
est transportation which is air
mail and air parcel post," said
Wimberly.
The postmaster said that Fri
day, the peak of 38,000 machine
cancellations of letter mail had
been reached. This figure is bet
ter than 3,000 over last year's
peak, he said.
A sorting station for Christmas
mail has been set up in the Crea
son Hotel building, in order to
keep the congestion out of the
main post office. There has been
a heavier mail load here this
year than In any previous year.
Wimberly added that postal re
ceipts this month have been
about 10 per cent higher than at
the same time last year.
