Show MARRIAGE EASY FOR BEAVER CO. WOMEN; OVER SUPPLY OF MEN The girls of Beaver have a better chance of getting married than the men judging from the population figures in the latest bulletin issued on the findings of the 1930 census. The girl's chances for matrimony are better' than the men's for the simple reason that there are more marriageable males in the county than females. There are 557 single men an only 323 single women, nearly one and four fifths man for every woman. Then if each girl is satisfied with her one and four fifths boy friends instead of trying to corner two or three there should be no heart break in the county as far as the marriagable female population is concerned. con-cerned. But the men, that is a different diff-erent story. Should all the girls be married off at once, there would still be 234 men wifeless. f Other figures on the marital condition con-dition of the county prove interesting. There are 1,013 married imen iand 1,002 married women, eleven more husbands than wives. How the census bureau reconciles this discrepancy we do not know but assume that eleven, wives- were in California when the census taker made his rounds. Again consulting the figures it appears that matrimony proves more fatal to the mien than the women as there are 143 widowed women and only 78 widowed men. Also Beaver county men are more prone to seek the divorce court as a solution of their marital troubles than women as there are 20 divorced men and only 17 divorced women. The total' number of mples and females over fifteen years of age married, single or otherwise is: Males 1,668; females, 1,485. The rest of the 5,136 population of the county is under und-er fifteen years old and not worried over matrimony. |
