I believe it reads ... per JR (or other initials?), being the initials of the person who filled in the schedule on behalf of Frederick Smith.

I read it the same as Bookbox  - per JR or IR.  However, per means 'for' as in pp (per pro - for and on behalf of). So the per here could mean 'for JR' which would imply that Fred was signing for somebody else.

Frederick Smith was the head, it is the bit extra after the signature I`m curious about.
The writing is different to the main entry details.

It's as Bookbox and Greensleeves have suggested in Replies #1 and 2    - per JR or <something> R

Are there any hints on the rest of the form who JR might be?

What were the enumerator's initials? (Bottom left)
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.
