CINCINNATI - Underwhelmed by the Census Bureau's estimate of 332,458 for Cincinnati's population that fell only 42 people short of that all-important 332,500 threshold, Mayor Mark Mallory is spending all weekend searching for 42 additional residents rather than concentrating on the NAACP convention. 

 "I know the NAACP convention is this week, but I would prefer if it was the National Association for the Advancement of Cincinnati's Population," said Mallory, "Because I just know for a fact that we've got at least 332,500."

Steps that Mallory is taking to find the additional 42 residents include:

1. Asking visiting NAACP convention-goers if they feel "at home" in Cincinnati, videotaping their responses.

2. Hiring Mexican immigrant laborers as part of his bodyguard team.

3. Investigating area Siamese twins to ensure they are being counted as two, not one.

4. Asking Elmwood Place mayor if they mind being annexed.

5. Calling up Leslie Ghiz to see if the baby's arrived yet.

6. Checking to make sure that adults who still live with their parents are being included in estimates.
