Divorce Rate Statistic!
Misleading, Analyst
Tells State Officials

Take marriage and divorce sta
tistics with q grain of salt.
That was the recommendation OF
DR.. Samuel C. Newman, chief Of
the marriage and divorce analysis
section Of the United States Public
Health Services National Once OF
Vital Statistics, who Is attending
the Work Conference on Vital Sta
tistics.
About 10 State registrars, public
health statisticians and others are
attending the four-day conference
in the Federal Security Building,
Independence avenue and Fourth
street S.W.
Sees Need of More Data.
There were n divorces recorded
for every. 100 marriages in 1916,
DR.. Newman said. But that does
not mean, as too often interpreted,
that "one in four marriages is end
ing in divorce" he declared.
Far more detailed statistics"
than his office has would be nec-
essary to arrive at the true picture,
he said. Such data, he said, should
include previous marital status and
how long the marriage had lasted.
If they used our statistics like
they do yours" he said he was told by
an oficial who deals with mortality
f1gures, "they would say that, out
OF every two persons born, one died"
about 100000 births were re-
corded In 1945 and about 400, 900
deaths.) .'.'
Policy On Birth Records.
A move to protect adopted and
Legitimate" children from the pos-
sible stigma of illegitimate birth
was reaching concrete form as con-
ference committees met today.
Delegates were expected, in q state
ment Of policy" to urge that short
ened birth records be provided ir
place Of full copies or photostats
or original certificates now issued
by many ohlces. The new form
would eliminate reference to legiti-
macy.
Certificates sent out by the Dis
trict do not show illegitimate births.
About 10 State registrars, public
health statisticians and others are
attending the conference, It was
opened yesterday by DR.. Halbert L.
Dunn, chief of the National ONCE
Of Vital Statistics.
Other speakers at the opening ses-
sion included DR.. Thomas sParran,
retiring surgeon general of the
Public Health Service; j. r. Mar
shall. chief administrative assistant
for Canada's Bureau OF Statistics:
DR.. Don c. Peterson, president Of

Quail Hunters Account For 50 Percent
OF Hunting Licenses Issued In State

hide from a fraction over one
fifth of the nimrods while only
IL per cent of the state license
holders stand in a carefully Sc
lected spot and wait for a buck
to come within range. This IL
per cent refers to the state IL
cense holders. County license
holders cannot hunt deer. These
hunters making up the Y per
cent who go for deer brought in
a total of 1900 deer during the
1947 season..
The estimate of fifty per cent
of county and state licensed
hunters who sought quail last
season bagged a total of $1,000.
The average kill per hunter was
1913 1--WE look at this figure rath-
er specifically since we know lots
of hunters who did not bag ten
quail during the season, until
we remembered hearing one man
boast that his kill for the season
was 800. And we also know of
a duly licensed hunter who sold
quail and confessed in court that
he got $50. So we'll go along
The Chronicle-star combined with the Moss Point advertiser., 1948-07-09

When Daddy gets out his gun,
his cleaning rags, and brushes the
dust and moths from the old
hunting coat, the kids all know
he's going hunting. And to the
sons and daughters of fifty per
cent of the state wide license
holders in the state, there is no
question as to what he is going
to hunt. Yep! You guessed
right. Daddy will hunt quail.
But he could be going after
squirrel, you say. And to this
we would readily agree, since
the statistician (he's the guy that
takes one bunch of figures and
comes out with another bunch)
says that eighty per cent of the
hunters in the state seek the elu-
sive little fellow with the bushy
tail.
Little bunny cottontail is the
recipient of the hunting aims of
only 43 per cent of the licensed
hunters in the state. (No official
estimate on the unlicensed hunt
ers who hunt 'bunnies.b
Mr.. Opossum and his family

with the 1919 figure.)
Huge BAG of Squirrels

Mr.. Bushy-tail found the going
a bit tough on himself and men,
bers of his family for the hunt
ers bagged right at 100000 squir-
rels during the season. Here
again the average was apparent
ly rather high per individual
hunter, with 81 the average kill.
Lots of hunters did not get that
many, but many more bagged the
limit on each day of several days
in the woods during the season,
so we'll accept Mr.. Statistician's
figure. incidentally the statis-
tician who made this report is
also a biologist and the figures
were not just pulled out of a hat.
He also says he's more of a cons
ervationist now than ever before.)
In round figures the report re-
veals 10000 coons, (the healthy
ALL-Southern variety, 10000
'possums, 100000 doves, 10000
ducks and 1000 geese.
Ducks were hunted by around
$4,000 active hunters and the av-
erage kill was Sc. This is in
line with the southern region fig
ure of SO per hunter.
OF quail, squirrel, deer, coons,
ducks, .possums, ETC., the estimat-
ed total kill of all species combin-
ed was over 100000. At the pres
ent price of shells, the hunters
of Mississippi spent over 5000, 900
in the big explosion that brought
that much game tumbling down.
Just about so per cent of the to-
tai amount of all licenses pur-
chased in the state.
What the guns and equipment
cost will run into the millions
of dollars. What the hunters and
sportsmen of the state spent in
the same period to hold a seed
crop for game for future years,
to provide food and habitat will
NOT run into the millions of dol
lars.
QUESTION. If Mississippi
hunters, sportsmen, farmers,
landowners, and conservationists
spent as much money in provid-
ing food and habitat as is spent
to take the game, what would be
the outcome for wildlife manage
ment in the Magnolia State?

For Your Mother and Mine

Contributed by Mrs c. w Jordan)
Fond memories, cherish, on this Mothers Day:
Memories of long ago,
When l played around the little old home
Where mother would sing SOFT and low.
That voice of hers, though not at all trained
Was full of music AID love-
For Mother would sing the old, old hymns,
That point to the Father above:
"Prone to wander, Lord l feel it,
Prone to leave the God | love;
Here's my heart o take and seal it.
Seal it in thy courts above"
This, and several other hymns she sang
AS she toiled and labored for me,
And tried with all her soul, and might;
The right kind of mother to be.
Her faith, like the brightness of the sun,
Would chase the gloom away:
And turn the darkest of all nights,
Into a coudess day.
And then those prayers of that mother of mine,
For mothers of old could pray;
She loved to talk to the Father above
AS she walked in the narrow way
Of her, let us think, this Mothers Day,
Rich blessings, from Heaven, receive;
Let think of her hymns, her faith and PRAYERS
And, on mothers God, believe.

The Veteran Asks:
GIS MUST SUBMIT PROOF
or DEPENDENCY

Ire Veterans Administrat-
ion today reminded seriously
disabled Nebraska veterans
that they must have submitted
proof of dependency before
they can qualify for govern
ment compensation increases
provided by a recent law.
Ashley Westmoreland, Lin
coin regional office manager,
said veterans of any war or
peacetime service, have ser
vice connected disabilities of
90 per cent or more, and who
have one or more dependents,
are eligible for the increases,
which range from $o.72 to $91
per month depending on the
number of dependents and the
extent of the disability.
The VA official explained
that increased compensation
payments become effective on
the date VA receives the veter-
ans proof of dependency. Such
proof, he said, should consist OF
certified copies of birth records
in tre case Of dependent child.
rem, certified copy Of marriage
record for dependent wife, and
any acceptable proof of the rela
tionship and dependency of the
veterans parents.
Westmoreland said any dis
abled veteran who had inform
ed the VA prior to September
l, 1913, that they had, depend
ents, but who had failed to sub
nit legal proof of such depen-
dency, still can receive the new
compensation increase retroct-
i've to September lst, if they
provide the required proof be-
fore December l, 1o48. He ad-
vised veterans in doubt
about their dependency situat-
ion to contract their nearest V
