DES MOINES, IOWA: It is still not late to fill in the US census form for 1990. If you have not received the census form you can call the toll free number of the census bureau 1-800-999-1990, who will send a form to you.
All the Sikhs who have not filled and sent in their forms are urged to do so at the earliest. Please remember to fill in Question 4 in both the short and long forms, but only the long form has the Question 13 and 15b and ancestry or ethnic origin and the language you speak at home, and as such these queries can only be answered in the long form.
The short form does not have question 13 on your ancestry or ethnic origin, you should answer as SIKH and the query on’ language you speak at home (Question 15b) which we have asked you to identify as Punjabi, if you do speak it at home. Only the long form has these inquiries.
For further information and clarification call Mehar Singh at (515) 270-0201.
