of her greatest difficulties Is to get

ley. Jr., the census taker, is well-
known to most Kingsville people.
She Is not employed as a bill collec-
tor nor does she have for sale any
tickets, magazine subscriptions,
stocks or bonds. She wants to get
a list of all children between the
ages of fi and 18. She has until
April 1 to complete the work. And

list.

the prospect for payment at
