Glade residents urged to mail census forms
Several thousand Glade water residents may be undercounted in the 1970 census unless the hundreds of families and individuals who did not mail forms submit them. City Manager Bill Langford was told by a Census Bureau representative in Longview that 5290 forms have been received, risking a population figure far below the actual 7 000 to 8 000 range. Residents are asked to mail or deliver forms to the Census Bureau in Longview, Langford at City Hall, or the Mirror office, and a census farm will be sought if needed.
