But often as not, it also meant that many poorer families who were unable to scrape together the required amount of cash missed out on the free stamps. Beginning January 1, that situation was eliminated along with the purchase requirement. Under new program ruleB, for example, instead of paying $200 to get $240 in food stamps, a family will receive $40 worth of stamps outright. The amount of bonus stamps that each family receives then will still be computed according to their monthly income, deductions allowed, and family size. A family of four with a net income of 930 per month win be entitled to $43 in bonus stamps. A family of five with the same income will receive a bonus of $78. T.

Rate dsclines For the first time in six years, Utahs birth rate has declined. Despite the decline, the 1978 Utah birth rate is still almost double the national average, a Utah Department of Social Services official said. According to John E. Brockert, Director, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Division of Health, 39,000 babies were bom to Utahns in 1978 for a crude birth rate of 29.6 per That 1,000 population. compares to 1977, when 37,956 babies were been for a z birth rate of 29.9 per 1,000 population. "Utahs birth rate has risen steadily since 1972. The 1978 decline, although only 1 per cent, is significant because it indicates that we might have finally topped out on increasing birth rates. It does not, however, mean that the number of births in Utah wont continue to rise. It means our population is inthrough this experience. just faster than the birth creasing They hired 2 disk jockeys Brockert explained, rate, from North Ogden Jr. High that the state exSchool.

A total of 7,770 Utahns died in 1978 producing a death rate of 5.9. That compares to 7412 deaths of Utahns in 1977. Nationally, 1.92 mlUlon deaths occurred during the year. While a five per cent increase in the marriage rate occurred during 1878, the divorce rate for Utah remained unchanged. U-t- ah Brockert noted that 16,500 couples were married in Utah for a marriage rate of 12.5 per 1,000 population. That compares to 1977 when 15,096 marriages occurred in Utah for a rate of 11.9. The national marriage rate was 10.2, slightly below Utahs rate. Brockert emphasized that Utahs marriage rate is, however, increasing faster than the national average. Nationally, the marriage rate increased one per cent compared to Utah where the marriage rate increased 5 par cent. Jn terms of the actual number of marriaJ? there was a 1.9 per cent increase nationally but a staggering 9.3 per cent in Utah. "What it means is that Utahns are getting married than ever before," he added. In terms of divorces, Utahs divorce rate is still above the national average.

The reason the rate remained the same is that Utahs population is now larger, he said, pointing out that the national divorce rate is 5.1 per cent. While more abortions were performed in 1978, Utah's more abortion rate declined in 1978 to 74.1 abortions per 1200 live births.
