Uncle Bed frea
Bethesda Says:
DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
Hindsight is wonderful stuff.
It sees all and solves all, and
there never has been and never
will be a shortage of it. The
fellers was putting the salve of
hindsight on sores of all sizes
during the session at the coun-
try store Saturday night, and
they was fixing everything right
and left from the fall of man to
the heat of summer.
Ed Doolittle got the floor first,
and without his usual handful of
clippings. He said he had
thought the situation up one side
and down the other, and he was
of a mind that the trouble with
the U.S. Census Bureau is the
U.S. Postal Service. If the
Bureau hadn’t tried to take the
census by mail, Ed declared,
we wouldn’t be ilke the feller
said about folks that know to
much thta ain’t so. We have
come up with a world of infor-
mation about the country and
the people in it, Ed allowed, but
wb can’t bring ourselves to
believe it. The truth is, Ed went
on, i
treated their census form like
we did, like, junk mail.
Practical speaking, Ed said,
he would be willing to bet that if
the Census Bureau had mailed
out real $25 checks to ever
household in America, a good 15
percent of em never would be
cashed. That many wouldn’t
bother to open the letter, or
they would take it to be one of
them make-believe Reader’s Di-
gest checks. Ed said he had
read where a store figgers a
five percent response to a mail-
out promotion is extra god, and
one percent is more to be ex-
pected. Ed said the Census Bu-
reau uwould have done better
to put “clip, fill out and return"
ads in all the newspapers.
As usual, Clem Webster was
strong disagreed. He said Ed’s
grasp of the situation done
nothing so much as show the
depth of his ignorance. What
you got to look at is the follow
up, Clem explained. Census of-
fices all over the country know
what forms come back and
what didn’t, that’s why they
sent folks out there to round
up the strays. Here’s where we
may be running into some short
circuits, Gem allowed, because
the head counters git paid fer
counting horses. If their follow
up takes them to a vacant house
they are {laid fer visiting a emp-
ty house. If they knock on the
dor and the old lady is in the
garden out of hearing they still
git paid fer checking on a va-
cant house. But, Gem said,
when the whole business boils
down it will be as near right as
any other census has been.
Bug Hookum sided with
Gem. Bug said his reading
