Chicago District Director James O'Neill said he had lost 300 counters, mostly through bad weather. "If people have to fight rain and snow on a strange Job, they aren't as likely to stay as they are if there is pleasant spring weather," he said. "After we trained the crew chiefs, some of them looked out at the rain . . . and called in to quit, even before start ing to work," he said. "I had to order Jeeps to get them through the mud." Plenty To Go Low pay and the popula tion boom also were factors, O'Neill said. He said Chicago - area counters had . already can vassed 102.S per cent of the estimated population and still had plenty to go. Forms were running low. "I've had as many as 60 sitting idle at one time waiting for mate rials." "We had a girl in an In dustrial section working on a piecework basis," O'Neill said. "She canvassed the area and made 47 cents. It took her four hours." In Conroe, Texas, a spokes man told about a counter who "drove the wheels off her car for two weeks," and made $38. Two other counters and a supervisor also quit at Con roe. A Louisville, Ky., director said many of the counters throught the job "was a po- by Patty Johnson U II 71 II I 1 II I ' L 1 1 I 1 1 1 ii i J -1M II i"" i mmm, in i . i ii fa By Jimmy Hatlo Tien he learns the hard wav that ip m3u want to get an over due response, write a follow-up- V 1 Tiring; lltical plum and then found they had to work." At Hopkinsville, Ky., a counter was stymied by five families who found questions on flush toilets a "mite too embarrassing" to answer. St. Louis officials reported that several owners of un licensed rooming houses re fused to let the counters in for fear the data would go to the city building department, despite strict Census Bureau rules against such action. One-third of the St. Louis crew leaders were fired in a reorganization to speed the count. Denver officials reported a school vacation problem com mon to many communities. The city's schools were on vacation the week before Easter, they said, and many families took short trips, leaving no one at home to help the counter when he came to call. In Spokane, Wash., a di rector revealed "great un happiness" among counters assigned to cover huge, sparsely-settled areas. Director Mrs. Beatrix Mc Elroy told about the Okano gan City, Wash., census taker who had to travel 600 miles to count 50 persons. In Louisville, 45 of 870 counters had quit since the count began April 1. Thirty of 800 dropped out in Wash ington, DC., and another 30 quit in Columbus, Ohio. Phoe nix, Ariz., reported the loss of ."many" counters. District of Columbia cen sus supervisor Louis Alexis explained that "some didn't understand this work. Some came In Just for the excite ment. . "It's a tough job," Alexis sighed. Investment Group Buys Idaho Firm Grangevllle, Idaho - OJPD -Sale of Idaplne Mills, Inc. was Sale of Idaplne Mills, Inc. has been announced by Oscar C.

Kaiser Steel Profits Doubled Riverside, Calif.-WPD - Pro fits doubled at Kaiser Steel Corporation the first three months of I960 compared to the same months last year, ac cording to President Jack L.

Gray listed the razor fish, pudding wife, wrasse and bluehead (species on which few people could dispute the captain) as among those that do. Marlln, swordfish, tuna and all members of the mackerel family are counted among those which never get a wink of briny shuteye. Another ocean insomniac is the shark. "They keep swimming from the moment they are born un til they die," he said. "Move ment forces water through their gills and permits them to breathe. If movement is forci bly stopped, they soon die."
