Summary

MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Everybody Counts - the Census. DESCRIPTION: We’re all to be counted again. The 1961 Census is on. Somerset House and 80,000 enumerators are on the job. Millions of forms are being distributed, and most of them are in English. They’re printed in other languages, too, for there are many races in Britain and everybody counts.
