Uncle Sam Gives Definitions As Well As Counting Noses

We learn, with interest, just what amounts to a family, too:
"A family is defined as a group of two or more persons related, by blood, marriage, or adoption and residing together."
An unrelated individual is described thusly:
Are you aware, for instance, that the advance figures show that we have 8,023,000 little girls in the country under five years of age, as compared with 5,186,799 in 1940?
"... refers to a person, other than an inmate of an institution, who is living alone or with persons all of whom are not related to him."
It is a source of amazement why we should be interested in some of the data—even the preliminary reports on same—which are included.
It's a fact.
There are 8,301,000 small boys of the same age, as compared with 5,354,808 a decade ago.
The only persons coming down with palpitations about this are
tolks who make clothing for little boys and girls and want to know how many to sew up and put on the market.
The report takes in all of the age ranges, including the 75-year old-sters and older where the problem of clothing sales is not so important.

Including how many chickens are grown each year,how many toilets there are in the country,how many folks are married and how many others are smart and stay unharnessed.
How many reap a harvest from the soil, and how many get what they want to eat from the nearest super market.

But who can say how accurate that is, even though the census folks break it down to the last man, woman and child.

If you are keeping score,you can subtract three from the total.

Spread nourishing meat and that good meat flavor through more meals of the week-appetizingly and thrifty-by serving more of the LOW-COST CUTS that are so deliciously good for braising ... pot-roasting... stewing. Only a knife cut separates these tender, tasty, savory cuts from the more costly ones. They all come from the same high quality meat for which COLE'S is famous.
