A permanent boarder is considered ere d a member of ,the family with which he lives or the hotel where he. stays. A person who boards in one place and ledges or 'rooms at another will be returned as a Member of the family at the: piece where he sleeps! A transient who is merely staying at a hotel temporarilywill be listed as a member of, his family at his home, -if he has one. If he has no home and maintains no quarters, be is put dow.re• as a member of the family where hd happens to be staying. A big hotel establishment, including all the guests 'vvlio live there perman- ently and the employees or mangers who sleep at the hotel, is considered as one family. However, where two or more members . of the same .fam- ily (a man and wife, or a mother and daughter) occupy permanent,. quarters in hotel, they will be returned as a separate family, leaving the "hotel family" to be made up prin cipally of individuals having no other family relations. In an apartment or tenement house there will normally be as many fas- were .supposed to know. Though when this chap was having his own way -he was us cheerful as could be and most people thought 'high a good sport, In his case I think it was the result of over -indulgence as a child. And, when one has had a few ex- periences with such people whet a relief it is to come across one . of the cheerful, happy sant, one who can start something if necessary, 'but who -will fall inwith whatever has been started and help male a success of it, After a bout with people who go around with their feelings exposed like an uncovered, live wire, it is a relief to meet one who keeps his or her feelings properly insulated, who will not go off at the slightest touch.

Usually is it not that the first -mentioned are cheerful; ready with plans for enioyrnent, if they are needed, but willing to fall in with others if they meet the fay. our of the majority; willing to work and play with other people without always insisting upon their own will being carried out? I do not mean jelly -fish sort of people who have no minds of their own; but cheerful, adaptable folk Who are willing to play the game and are never spoil -sports. In almost every group of persons who gather for sport or for some otherr perhaps more serious purpose there will be one or two -who must eve their way if things are to go _moc1hly. 11 they are crossed they sulk.

"fam- ily" as it was understood in the days of Abraham and the patr'aichs will be used by census -takers in enum- erating the population of Canada during 1931 census. If the head of a family, his sons, daughters, daugh- tels-in-law, relatives, servants,and lodgers are members of the same household and live on the same pre- mises, tbey will all go down on the census records as constituting' one family. The word "family" for cen- 51.15 purposes means "a group of Pan - sons living together in the saltie dwelling place or premises." The persons in the group nett not tie eossarily be related to each other, A landlady with a hundred boarders constitutes one family. hvo or more families may occupy J the same dwelling• house without living together or being• tneulbers•of i the sante household. If two familie% a occupy seperate metiers of the dwel- f ling and their housekeeniug is en- tirely separate, they will be return- ,vc ed by the census eunlnerator•s as see- $ orate families, however closely they t may be related by blood. r• In the census, there is even such e a thing 55 a family be one. A a ba"helor maintaining private quarters t will be listed as a family. An s employee in a store who'regularly d RADIO CENSUS One of the questions to be asked in the tonging census is--4"Do you own a radio?" It may be suspected that the. purpose of this is to locate persons who may not have paid their license, or to assist private radio companies to make sales by letting 'them know what families do not own radios. This is wholly unfounded. The answer to this question, as to all other census questions, are absolutely confidential—,)vett 'xo Government Departments. The purpose of the question is to. explore and analyse just what the radio audience of Can- ada is where it is Located, where it is densest,'and how it is made up ac- cording to the different elements in the population. With the growing int; portanee of radio, such information is indispensable to the formulation of satisfactory broadcasting'. Radio is a further index of the Canadian Standard of living, nod some inter- esting• studies may be .expected as a result of the Census question. • GODgRXCII: In a division court action Town of Goderieli vs. West Wawanosh Mutual Fire Insurance Company, tried at Dungannon before udge Dudley Holmes, judgement tvas given in favour of the defendent nsurance company, The municipality sked for an unstated sum of money or use of its fire fighting equipment 1t a fire in Colborne Toamsllip last ar.

When illness occurs, the patient de- sires treatment fortwo reasons; one is in order to get relief from the symptoms which trouble him, and the other is for the cure of his disease. It le comparatively easy to relieve symptoms, Pain is the most distress- ing symptom and there are drugs which will relieve pain, There is no reason ashy symptoms should not be relieved, but this has nothing to do with the real treatment which aims to cure, or at least to improve the condition of the patient. Before a disease tan be properly treated, a diagnosis must be made. In this connection, headache offers a simple example. There are many cau85s of headache; it may he due to aye -strain, and then the treatment consists in evearing properly -fitted glasses; . it may, however, be due to icitlney disease, anti in such a case, glasses will not, of course, help. A diagnosis is net always catty to make. A doctor needs all the skill he has acquired through years of training and experience to enable hint to search out the cause of a condition. In some cases, he will frankly admit that, even with his skill, be is baffled, It is just be- ealt00 it is sitdifficult that doctors have to devote many years of their '''VarlalEallaISIRMISEIrs a et, e. lives to prepare themselves, and it is this preparation that the layman lacks, This does not mean that there is anything mysterious about medi- cine, but simply that it takes years of hard work to acquire medical knowledge and the skill to put it into practice. Another point which is frequently nverleol:ed is that no two persons are exactly alike, whence it follows that no two cases of disease are just the same and no two individuals react in the same way to drugs and other treatment. In other words, each case must be treated individually, and the treatment recommended is based, first of all, on the diagnosis, and is then continued or altered de- pending upon the r•esponee of that particular individual to the treat- ment used. There arc many who will coneedo this, but who think that they are quite capable of looking after 11111101' illnesses, We would point out to them that the proper early treatment of what appears to be nothing serious is the best way, and often the only way, to prevent the development of a 50111,05, if not fatal condition. Drugs have their place, but they should be used only when prescribed by someone who understands the chugs and the condition for which then are to be used. Questions eoneerning Health ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 1S.I College Street, Toron- to, will be answered personally by letter, Th Census of Cana'sa 1 3I • yrar;,,71 In trio opening weeks oT June every family and every home in Canada will be visited by a repro- sentative of the Government for the great national purpose of taking the seventh census of Canada, The census is really a stocktaking.

All the information supplied is strictly confidential, and the officers oT the Government are subject to severe penalty if they disclose any of the information which is given to them by residents in the country; to, any other than the Government.
