lsy the Associated Press.
The high marriage rate in 1910
l94l and 1912 helped to produce a
shortage of matrimonial eligibles in
this country.
This, plus the fact that many
eligible single men are in the armed
services overseas, brought to an end
in l943 a series Of unusual annual
increases in the marriage rate which
began in 1910 the Census Bureau
said yesterday.
The marriage rate rose from 10.5
per 1000 population In 1889 to an
all-time high of 1871 in 1912, but In
1943 1t dropped back to about the
level of 1910.
The bureau said the increases
after 1899 reflected the psychology
ical and economic effects of the war.

WITH UNITED STATES FORCES
IN FRANCE, July 3 (Delayed)-
Hidden in dank, ferny wood, I
found company of Maryland in
fantry. Sergt. Robert M. Moore,
1907 Second avenue, Silver Spring,
who has been decorated with the
Silver Star, was crouched under the
trees, ready to stop a German tank
with grenade.
His action saved 10 American
prisoners, some of them wounded.
They were soon taken back to a
dressing station.
Sergt. Moore, tough and unshaven,
was on patrol with two companions
In the late afternoon. One Of his
American troops had been shot in
the leg. The unit also had taken
prisoner German who was less
seriously hurt. The patrol had to
continue its work; so the German
was threatened and frightened into
carrying the American on his back
to dressing station.
Nazi Tank Flees.
The Americans had been warned
that there were tanks ahead. A
few minutes later. around a bend
In the road, they saw a tank coming
very slowly, a squad Of Germans
walking on each side, and with a
group Of American prisoners walk
ing ahead with their hands over
their heads.
Sergt. Moore's unit had one ba-
zooka and one grenade. The tank
rounded the bend in the road. Sergt
Moore and a companion then
stepped from the hedge behind
which they were concealed, and
Sergt. Moore hurled his grenade.
The prisoners, in confusion, scat
tered into the hedge. Two were
killed, but the rest escaped. The
tank, fearing that a larger force
awaited 1T, fed.

Diphtheria
Presents Hazard
to WAYNE Youth

There has beef an increase of 80
per cent in the number of cases of
diptheria in the state this year as
compared with the number reported
for a similar period last year. This
is the statement made recently by
DR.. william DeKleine, Commits
sioner of Health for Michigan.
This statement is borne out by the
increase noted in the out-county
area of Wayne County. Up to Octo-
Der s there had been 33 cases re-
ported this year. Within the last
few weeks other cases have occur
ed. The most recent one was a child
of 10 months of age.
The Wayne County Department OF
Health considers this a critical con-
dition and calls the attention of
parents to the fact that diptheria
is a disease which can be prevented.
All children when they reach the
age of nine months should be pro-
tected against the dangers of this
disease by being given two doses of
diptheria toxoid one month apart.
Parents should have their family
physician administer the toxoid.
This should be followed in six
months by Schick test to deter
mine if the child has been rendered
immune by the two doses of toxoid
already given.
Following this immunization of
the child before it is one year old,
when the child reaches school age,
another Schick test should be given
to see If it still retains immunity
against the disease. At this time,
If the test shows the child to have
lost the immunity, another single
dose of toxoid should be given. This
will re-establish immunity and pro-
tect against contracting the disease.
If this procedure was carried out
by the parents of all children, in
a very short time diphtheria would
cease to be problem in any COM
munity.
Due to the present incidence of
diphtheria in the out-county area
of Wayne county. the County De-
partment Of Health urges all par
ents In this area who have children
between the ages of nine months
and II years who have not been al
ready protected against this dis
ease. to have their physician give
the necessary two doses of toxoid
and so ensure their protection
against contracting this very dan
gerous disease.
