Respect The Water

VACATION TIME is in full swing and
Judging from the experience Of other
years, approximately $500 lives will be
lost BY accidental drowning during these
next few months This represents only
about half Of the total number Of people
drowned each year but they are crowded
into the three summer months
THE annual death toll in the United
States from drowning grows larger each
year More than onc-h half Of those dying in
this manner are young persons under
twenty-four years Of age, the largest single
aye group Of youths between fifteen and
nineteen years.
Every vacationst should be careful this
summer. A period Of rest and relaxation
from work is fine and necessary, but care
lessness should not rob it Of its pleasure
TO venture too far in the surf or to take
chances in swift current means running
the risk Of drowning. Swimmers should be
extremely careful

Babs0n Discusses Babies And Business

Babson Park, Mass, July H. For
the first time since 1850. our birth
rate is declining Perhaps this is
due TO the current recession. Or
perhaps it is because Of small
downturn in the number OF women
III the l8-to-34 age group. look
for further near-term drop n the
birth rate and do not visualize a
new baby boom for several years
Paw Heed to the Economic actor
Some population experts antici-
pate new wave Of births IN the
early 1868. They base their fore
casts chiefly on the fact that the
number Of women in the lo-to-34
age group which breeds the most
children will soon increase rapidly
as the war and early postwar
babies reach maturity But the
fact that there will be more women
Of child-bearing age does not neces-
sarily mean they viii bear more
children.
Years ago. the demographers. or
population experts, were consls-
tently on the low side OF their tore
casts. Many of my readers remem-
her that we were told IN the
thirties that the .. S. population
had just about reached IT'S peak
Then came World War II and an
economic boom which encouraged
a record increase in the birth rate
This was at a time when we we're
making great strides IN prolonglns
the lifespan Again the demogra-
pliers missed the boat, with tore
casts too low. Now their predictions
appear too high. They are TOO

psychological factors which deter
mine fertility response
Trend Toward Later Marriages
During the first quarter of 1883
marriages were down about per
cent e 0 " the number a year
earlier. To me this indicates a
trend toward later marriages. As
Stunning the present recession ex-
tends into 1860 and possibly be-
yond. barring war then this
trend toward later marriages will
continue and could mean further
cutbacks in our birth rate.
For this reason. I predict that
the next baby boom will not really
get going until the late l960's and
that it will extend we'll into the
1905 assume. Of course, that
today's depressed economy will
have rebounded to new highs in
the mid-Or 1865 My forecast
is that twenty years from now our
annual birth rate will be in the

A larger population has greater
