The objective of this program is the development and publication of State-prepared estimates of the population of counties using uniform procedures largely standardized for data input and methodology. The methods were mutually agreed upon by the individual States and the Bureau of the Census and were selected on the basis of the results of an extensive test of methods against the 1970 census conducted in late 1971 and early 1972. The estimates for counties are consistent with independent State population totals regularly prepared by the Bureau of the Census and published in the P-25 series of reports. Pages vary.

This criticism has been reported extensively by the news media, and it is also evident in this issue of THE SHERIFF'S STAR. We have been getting a lot of things off our chests.

  • Genocide in Cambodia, 1975-1979
    Genocide in Cambodia, 1975-1979 Introduction From 1975-79, an estimated 1.5-3.0 million people-probably around 1.8 million, about a quarter of the population—were killed in a systematic campaign of mass murder organized by the Cambodian government at the time, known as the Democratic Kampuchea (DK). This government was created by the Khmer Rouge, a group that started in the 1960s as the armed wing of the Communist Party of Kampuchea (Cambodia). Led by the dictator Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge occupied the capital, Phnom Penh on 17 April 1975. Their goal was to establish a classless, agricultural state that completely rejected capitalism and was based on communal living. To achieve this, they sought to eliminate anyone they deemed “New People,” namely, urban populations, intellectuals, and minorities who were thought to have been corrupted by outside influence. The Khmer Rouge favored peasants, who they called “Old People.” Historical Context Historically, the Khmer Empire had been a flourishing agrarian state in the 9th-15th centuries, which at its height encompassed a large area in the region including parts of current-day Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. From the 15th-19th centuries, Cambodia was in decline and by the end of this period the dynasties of Vietnam and Thailand were vying for control of Cambodia. In an attempt to protect his Cambodia from Vietnam and Thailand, in 1863 the King invited France to establish a protectorate, starting a 90-year period of French rule. Cambodia was occupied by Japan during World War II, and then returned to French rule after the war until Cambodia became independent in 1953.

  • Florida Field Naturalist
    FLORIDA FIELD NATURALIST TRENDS IN NUMBERS OF AMERICAN KESTRELS ON ROADSIDE COUNTS IN SOUTHCENTRAL FLORIDA FROM 1968 TO 1976 Two subspecies of the American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) regularly occur in Florida: F, s. paulus, the resident race, and F. s. sparverius, a migrant and winter resident. Although paulus is declining (Wiley 1978) and the general abundance of kestrels in Florida in winter is attributed to the presence of northern birds, little quantitative information is available on seasonal and yearly trends in abundance of this species in the state. I made roadside counts of kestrels in the Lake Wales Ridge section of Highlands County over the eight-year period 1968-1976 to determine the extent of seasonal and year-to-year variation in population levels in this region. Comparable data provided by Peter and Margo Cone from the Florida Keys for the fall to spring period in 1974-75, 1976-77, and 1977-78 are also included in this report. DESCR~~IONOF STUDY AREAS AND MFTHODS The census route was a 7.1 km section of State Route 17 extending from U.S. 27 on the north to State Route 70 on the south. This narrow, lightly-traveled road traverses gently roll- ing sand hills largely planted with citrus groves. The road has grassy shoulders 3-4 m wide. Along most of its length (6.3 km) the route is bordered by citrus groves on one side and a dry, brushy railroad right-of-way on the other. Several large commercial buildings and paved parking areas are located along the northern 0.2 km of the route, and the southernmost 0.6 km stretch goes through an area of bayhead and swamp thicket vegetation.
