Were You Counted campaign launched in 1980 census drive
The Were You Counted campaign urges missing households to mail the form and be cross checked against the master address list to avoid double counting. Billy Yarbrough, Abilene District Census Office manager, calls the effort crucial to ensure every household is counted. Local Review aims to let officials spot errors while workers are in the field, improving accuracy before final population tallies are handed to local authorities. Also a fleeting note mentions Kirsten Flagstad receiving cigar smoke before performances.
