Show Life Is Getting Longer A study of statistics will show that in the last 50 years fourteen years have been added to the average aver-age expectancy of life. Today there are in Sanpete county proportionately proportion-ately many more persons over thirty than there were in 1870. This also holds good for those over ltu age cf fifty. A diminishing birth iate has been n tec during the same period sr that today young people, pr ' i;ortionat2ly, are not as numerous as they were fifty years ago. Perhaps this explains the keen, interest being be-ing taken in youth and the reluctance reluc-tance with which grandparents admit ad-mit eld age. It is apparent to any observer that the people cf Sanpete County, as well as those in other sections, r.ppm ently retain their youthful cuc.Gol: longer than th people of lifty years ago. As a matter of fact, the interest in old age, merely in itself has decreased considerably in recent years. |
