The Air Force build-up is part of a five -

6
Questions in Population Census Easy
tion and designed from the complete enumera-
tion which is obtainable only through the Cen-
sus. The sample now in use is based on 1941
Census date and new complete information is
needed to determine whether it is still repre-
sentative or to serve as a bench -mark for a
redrawn sample.
First of the ten, question 20 asks the per-
son's main activity during the week ending
June 2 and is designed to measure the size of
the labour force at a point in time most suit-
able. because fresh in mind, for providing ac-
curate answers. These will be recorded to
show whether the person was working, with
a job but not at work, looking for work, keep-
ing house, going to school, retired or volun-
tarily idle, or permanently unable to work. For
all except those working or unable to work,
question 21 then asks if the person did any
work for pay or profit apart from the main
activity, and question 22 asks for all who work-
ed ful or part-time the number of hours of
work. Together these questions will provide
data covering all the population—obiainable
only by the complete enumeration of the cen-
sus—for a comprehensive and detailed analysis
of the labour force.
Questions 23 to 25 deal specifically with
occupation end industry. They ask the name
of the firm or business for which the person
worked in the week, the kind of business or
industry it is, the kind of work done, and
whether the occupation reported is the person's
usual occupation end if not , what the usual
occupation is. The purpose of these questions
is to obtain en overall record of the occupa-
tions of the people in which they engage for
pay or profit and to classify them according
to the industry in which they work. The en-
swers will yield data of great value on the
various skills available in Canada and on the
numbers possessing different skills—informa-
tion that is especially important at a time like
the present when the defence program is mak-
ing exceptional demands on numerous occupa-
tions. The value of such data, of course, de-
pends on the accuracy of answers, and bath
labour organizations and business manage-
ment—both closely interested in such figures—
are making special efforts to ensure that work-
ers take pains to see that correct job titles are
given the enumerator.
Question 27 seeks information on the num-
ber of persons working as wage or salary earn-
ers, on own account, as employers and foe' "no
pay"; while Question 28 asks of those who were
in receipt of salary or wages the number of
weeks worked in the twelve months prior to
June, 1951, replies being checked in five-week
categories. The letter question will yield in-
formation on the steadiness of employment.
Final question asks, also from salary and wage
earners, the 'amount—within $500 categories—
of their earning in the same twelve months.
This type of information is of great value for
many purposes, such as for study of market
• potentials, and as an indicator of purchasing
power in local areas.
No uune essary question has been included
in the population card. The information ob-
tained from the Census will be a continuing
source of help and guidance to private and
public effort and will benefit everyone. Can-
ada is closely en line with the most advanced
nations as respects the kind of information be-
ing sought in the Census.
to Answer
CANADA'S NINTH decennial Census is
now in full swing with an army of 18,000
enumerators ceiling at homes and business
establishments across Canada to obtain in-
formation concerning population, housing, agri-
culture, fisheries, wholesale and retail trades
and services. For every person in the pop-
ulation they must fill up a census card with
the answers to a series of questions. As those

There are 29 questions in. the population
questionnaire—'ten less than in 1941—and for
thbout half wiel
not need to be answered. Tmajority he eople he first thirteen
of these are quite simple. They cover name,
address, relationship to head of household, sex,
age. religion, marital status, years of schooling,
and language spoken. In this group the ques-
tax !Me mem-
tions
of a few people, bust they aaling re not difficult.
Question 14 on birthplace is equally easy,
but the reason for it may not be readily ap-
, parent. During and since World War II there
were considerable inter -provincial movements
of population, end the answers to this question
will show the provinces which have gained or
lost by this movement. Combined with other
facts, they will also show what has happened
to they thousands of new immigrants who came
to Canada in recent years. The numbers of
these and other earlier immigrants will be
revealed by another simple question (15) on
period of immigration.
Question 16, dealing with citizenship, will
be answered with "Canadian" by more than
95 per cent of the people, by reason of birth,
naturalization, or having latterly earned their
Canadian citzienship papers. Enumerators have
been specially instructed to assist the few per-
sons among the rest who may be uncertain of
their citizenship, in .answering this question.
Immediately following is a question on origin,
for which male ancestry alone is required.
This will supplement the citizenship question
by showing the cultural elements which are
being blended into the Canadian melting pot.
For those who wish to acknowledge no origin
but Canadian. however, the enumerator may
accept the answer "Canadian,"
Next are two questions -18 and 19—on war
service, designed to. furnish information that
will be useful in looking. after the welfare
of war veterans.
The last ten questions relate to the labour
force and apply only to those who are 14
years of age and over. These questions de-
velop information on t'tie number of workers,
the industries which employ them, the type
of work they do or can do; and the salaries
and wages they are paid. Similar questions
have been included in previous censuses. For
the 1951 Census they have been framed, more
carefullyso as to obtain more accurate in-
formation, capable of being more intelligently
classified. The answers to these questions will
provide data of the greatest value to the gov-
ernment in its program of maintaining full
employment and also to workers and man-
agement.
Similar questions are asked in the quart-
ei0y survey of the labour force conducted by
the Dominion Bureau of .Statistics, but this
survey is on a sample basis and can only be
reliable if representative of the whole popula-

THE VOICE OF
TEMPERANCE
A big business firm holds a
weekly luncheon for its sales
staff; Everyone drinks except
George. His friend Fred asks
him "Why?" "Because I've seen
too much of the harm it does,"
George answers. He adds that
he always remembers the advice
his father gave him. "George,
if you want to succeed in any
walk of life, keep your head up,
your brain clear and your feet
square on the ground. Fred was
the first to ask George if he
might sit beside him because he
really did not want to drink. It
was not long before George and
Fred were joined by others, till
there was one entire table and
every man at that table said "No
thank you," when the drinks
were going around. Men need
net act like' sheep.
