In regard to the lack of births
in North Branch township, Wyo-
ming county. the Laceyville Messen-
ger has this to say: "Inasmuch as
during the past year, there has been
but one birth in North Branch town
ship, the health authorities at Har-
risburg, have made inquiry of local
health officer, c. b. Pickett, for In
formation as to the cause of this
unusual state of affairs. In reply
Mr.. Pickett-while somewhat at a
loss to determine the cause-attrib-
utes 1t to two or three things: First,
the young people obtaining a good
education, and later getting mar
ried, fall into the fashionable ways
of life rearing small families-not
OF the Rooseveltian pattern; second,
many of the young people remove
from that locality, leaving elderly
people largely in possession OF the
homes and in excess in the matter
OF numbers"
