Show Itel Mens- Unanticipated good news comes in the form of an announcement an-nouncement from government govern-ment statisticians that the birth rate in America is again increasing. After years of decline, Americans had more babies in 1977, and it appears the trend will continue in 197& ALSO good news is the indication in-dication that many who have been trying the modern experiment of living together unwed have decided to marry. President Carter might have helped this trend by urging his staffers to marry, and by publicly praising trie institution institu-tion of marriage. Thus the figures are good on both counts as 1977 comes to a close-more marriage and more babies. The change indicates in-dicates a better future for the nation, and that stability necessary for a secure, orderly or-derly society. |
