1960 Census Tract
Information Available
The Luzerne County Planning
Commission and a number of mun.
icipal and school agencies, chamb-
ers of commerce and civic and
service groups throughout Luzerne
County formed a census tract com-
mittee which recommended to the
| Bureau of the U.S. Census the div-
~ |ision of Luzerne County into a
number of census tracts. These were
| based, as far as possible, on log-
| ical neighborhood boundaries. Cens-
us tracts ordinarily contain 2 pop-
ulation between 3,000 and 6,000
persons. Their main advantage is
| that their boundaries do not change
| from census to census, so that areas
| smalled than municipalities, may be
| compared as to changes every ten
| years, to determine a number of
characteristics.
{ The U. S. Bureau of the Census
|has just released the final report
| on population and housing for Lu-
| zerne County in 1960 by census
| tracts. Information is available on

lation; age, color and marital status

A—No. The Veterans Administra-
| tion does not issue new policies for
{less than $1,000, and your partial
| conversion requires a new policy
| to be issued each time you con-
| vert part of your present term pol-
|icy. However, you may convert in

| Q—Does the VA provide trans-
portation to its domiciliaries at
Government expense, when a vet-
| eran becomes a resident of one
| of these homes?
| A—As a rule, transportation to

pense is provided only for the init-
ial admission of the veteran.
