Census
This week, Round the World assists the US Census by going around helping with the enumeration. We learn why the census is important, and how you can identify census scammers, all with the help of our splendiferous quadraphonic collection of 78 RPM recordings. Then, speaking of millions, we rest our poor dogs while we listen to a one-hour 1945 radio drama about a millionaire who is on his death bed, as his vulturish relatives wait expectantly.
