M"EPFOT?T) MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1937. PAOE SEVEN ASK 14 QUESTIONS JOBLESSPERSONS Blanks to Carry Message From President Co-ope ration of All Families Is Sought in National Count WASHINGTON. Oct. 7. (API Rftstratton blanks for the forth coming unemployment census will carry a message from President Roosevelt asking the cooperation of every family. The cream-colored questionnaires were made public today. On one side are 14 Inquiries, and on the other Is thl statement by the president: "If you are unemployed or partly unemployed and are able to work and are seeking work, please fill out this report card right away and mall it before midnight. Saturday, November 90, 1037. No postage stamp Is needed. Accuracy Important "The congress directed me to take this census. It Is Important to the unemployed and to everyone in this land that the census be complete, honest and accurate. If you give me the facts I shall try to use them tor the benefit of all who need and want work and do not now have it." The cards wlU be distributed by letter carriers on November 16 and 17 to the nation's 31.000.000 families. Where there is more then one Jobless person in a family, postmen will leave extu. cards. The questionnaire first asks names and addresses and whether the regis trant lives on a farm. Then It Inquires: "Totally unemployed and want work? Partly employed and want more work? Working at WPA (Works Progress administration). NYA (Na tional Youth administration) : CCC (Olvll Conservation corps) or other emergency work?" Unemployed Defined A statement prepared by advisers to John D. Blggers, census adminis trator, said: "There Is an Important difference between the partly employed and the partly unemployed. For example, a college student may work on Satur days and la therefore partly employ ed: but he la not partly unemployed because he does not want more work. "The census does not Include the partly employed but only the unem ployed and the partly unemployed." Other queries ask whether regis trants are able to work, their age, raos. occupation, number of depen dents, amount of work In the last week and the laat year and Income during the last week. The explanatory statement said the card should be filled out by every person who regards himself ss un- imployed ox partly unemployed, even though the information he supplies may not bear out his opinion. Some Classes I'nemploysble The card, it said, "la not Intended for persons who have permanently retired from work, for housewives not employed for pay or for children attending full time school. Very young and very old workers who return cards will not usually be regarded as employable." Officials aald they had attempted lo make the questions simple, so that most unemployed can fill out their registrations at home. Booths will be set up in various cities, probably In p os to meet. Mayor P. L. LaOuardia. of New York, as president of the United States conference of mayors, today asked all mayors to assist with the census. "Since the unemployed are mainly centered In the larger Industrial cit ies." La Guard la said In a statement released here, "it la urged that all mayors do their part." The New York mayor said census bureau officials would ask mayors to name local unemployment census committees to assist.
