Applegate Census Counter
Gains Family Life Insight
By Maud Peel
Mill Tribune Special Writer
Bl( Applegate, June 28. tSpl) Miss Billie Rippey, census
enumerator (or the Applegate district, didn't Juit count me-n
no when ihe went about her Job, but the took little peek
behind the scenes, and hat brought forth glowing accounts of
her fellow beingi that have merited comment from W. L. Aus
tin, director of the censui in Washington. D. C.
Mis Rippey wrote a summary
of her observations which has ,
been accepted for use in a sym
posium of first hand information
to be applied in preparing for
future field work and other ac
tivities In connection with the
census, it was stated in the let
ter she received from Mr. Aus
tin. It was understood that the
information will be available for
publication in national maga
xines in the future.
Courage Impresses
Exerpts from her essay, rich
in sympathy and understanding,
follow:
I found no "head" in any
family. Father and Mother co
operated. Each had a helpful
word, here and there, and you
felt their lives were just that
way. Of the poorer classes, I
was struck by their ability to
laugh, their courage and hope,
in the face of heart-breaking,
back-breaking struggle to live.
How courageous was the mo
ther with her family of five, in
her log house on a barren knoll,
hot in summer, bleak in winter.
Not even a garden. The income
average of the father is around
four dollars a month. But the
cabin is home, they are together
and not on relief.
No one had a clear Idea of the
questions that were to be asked.
From radio talks and garbled
word of mouth reports, they did
not know what to expect. Many
were surprised and pleased at
the clear, business-like ques
tions, and are convinced nothing
but good will come of their an
swers. No one objected to giving
their ages, though a surprising
number had to figure them out.
Bit Of Norway
Houses were Interesting; there
was one, set under big pine
trees, built by a Norwegian
lady. It was made of large logs,
and the interior, outside of mod
ernization, was a replica of her
home in Norway. There was us
ually someone home in the fore
noon. Afternoons were bad, but
In rural communities you can
usually plan on chore time and
meal time.
Poverty was not uncommon.
But of dirt and filth there was
none. Many a housekeeper could
well be envious of the spotless
ness of a miner's cabin. Every
one was pleasant and willing to
answer all questions. I was
asked into every house, invited
to meals, and asked to return
and visit when my work was
finished. My opinion was asked
on everything from livestock,
babies, and cars to "is there gold
In thet thar ledge?" I was of
fered one little pig. one lamb,
on kid, and two ducks.
1,320 Counted
In all I enumerated 1.320 per
sons, 330 families, 177 farms,
434 houses.
It is a grand thing to meet
cheerful people, all looking to
the future, with heads up, cour
ageous, making the most of the
little they have, not whining,
but glorying in their freedom
and Independence and knowing
it is the greatest country of them
all.
I hope in 19S0 I can once
again be a "nose-counter-upper."
LIGHTNING BOLT SCORES
DOUBLE PLAY ON FARM
Marietta, Ohio, June 28. (JP)
A bolt of lightning shot into
Mrs. Pete Silvus' kitchen, I
knocked a skillet from her j
hand. Jumped to a nearby field ;
and knocked a pitchfork from
her husband's grasp.
The husband escaped injury,
but Mrs. Silvus was burned
severely. I
