Piles in the collaborating years
now and thus a shrinking birth
rate is logical.
1T doesn't wash" said Mr..
Schachter. "A breakdown Of
the marriage and age figures
indicates that, if anything. this
year should have seen an in
crease, not a decrease in the
birth rate"
My second guess was that
the high jobless rate among
men without skills might he
reducing the baby total.
Its difficult to check out. "
said Mr.. Schachter. We've
tried to correlate induces of
business and the birth rate. but
have found no relationship
over the decades"
Timing Is Answer
My third and fourth guesses
were that the cost-of living
squeeze of recent years had
hit young marrieds and that
the big family fad might be
wearing out.
Your third guess doesn't
check out either and we don't
find any wearing out of the big
family fad" was Mr.. Schach-
ter'S appraisal. The average
family size seems to be leveling
out at three per family"
So? So the answer lies in
the new timing pattern of mar
riages and collaborating.
The boom is almost certain to
resume again after the mid
1960s as the record number Of
postwar babies marry each
other. But. I asked, Just as
the auto market reacted after
our car buying binge of 1855 so
the baby market is reacting
after our collaborating binge of
1955-59?"
yes" said Mr.. Schachter,
land annual birth rates almost
certainly will decline for at
least a few years as a result"

MONEYS WORTH
Borrowed Babies
BY SYLVIA PORTER

Government experts on birth
statistics have studied the sag
in the baby boom this year and
have come up with an explana-
ton.
This is it. In the late 1950s
American girls married so
much younger and had their
babies so much earlier that in
essence. they borrowed" babies
from these first years of the
1960S. Putting it another way,
the babies that would have
been born this year and next if
the girls had followed the pat
tern of their parents were born
last year and the year before.
Now, because a new pattern
has been developed and it'll
take time for it to become
established and normal" we're
almost certainly facing at least
a few years of declining birth
rates.
Recently, I reported that the
birth rate per thousand of us
had dropped % per cent below
1859 and the rate among wom-
en- in the collaborating ages of
15-44 IN May was 1898 per
thousand against Ills per
thousand in May, 1859.
Trend Is Important
Since every change in the
population trend is important
economically, l asked the key
question. "Why?" and found
that authorities in the Depart
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare were looking into"
the picture and hoped to offer
some explanations.
I have talked with Joseph
Schachter, chief of the Birth
Statistics Section in the Ma
tional Office of Vital Statistics,
and he dissected my guesses
about the sag:
My first fair guess" was
that since the birth rate in the
depressed l930s was at an all
time low, there are fewer cou-

were cited as factors behind the
weeks advance. The moves are
designed to provide lower bor-
rowing costs for business, con-
Sumers and Government bodies
The only trouble is, lower rates
won't mean much if there is
little demand for credit.
Business news on the week
was mixed. Typical was Presi-
dent Eisenhower's press con-
ference observation that he
foresees no boom, but no re-
cession either. Earnings re-
ports were fewer, but most were
still lower.

Veterans Eligible
To Borrow On CT
Insurance Policies

Veterans who hold permanent
type GI life insurance policies
are able to borrow from VA a
sum up to "a per cent of the
cash surrender value of the
policy. the Veterans Administra-
tim said.
Thus if they need to raise
mercy in a hurry for some
emergency need, these veterans
are able to borrow the sum of
their policies, instead of sur
rendering the policy entirely for
its cash value.
The only kinds of CT policies
which have no loan or cash
values and cannot be used as
the basis for borrowing are
term insurance policies.
When a veteran borrows
against his permanent CT policy,
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1960-03-11

even if it's up to the "a per
cent limit, the policy remains
in effect. VA said. Of course.
if he should die before the loan
is repaid in full, the proceeds
of the policy are reduced by the
amount Of the loan remaining
unpaid.
However, VA explained, all
insurance protection ceases for
ever if the veteran surrenders
his policy for cash. Once the
policy is cancelled, it cannot be
restored.
Annual interest on CT policy
loans is computed on the un-
paid balance and should be paid
before the due date, VA en-
phasized.
Information on CT insurance
matters may be had from any
VA office.

And how much are we doing for God and

And how much are we giring for God to

our income do we set it aside regularly

need our help do we have the courage
and faith to strengthen our Church by more
