HE YULETIDE SEASON brings with it
pleasant thoughts of friendships—tried, proven
and cherished throughout the past. It makes us
realize that friendly associations with our fellow
men are invaluable in both public and private
life and are above things material.
It is significant of the season, then, that we
pause to say Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year. And for your friendships and favors we
are truly grateful.

AVERAGE FAMILY AT LOWEST
FIGURE IN HISTORY OF U. S.
Washington, Dec. 20.—The number
of persons in the average American
family is at the lowest figures in
history, according to preliminary fi
gures the census bureau announced
today.
Preliminary figures from the 1940
census, Director William Austin an
nounced, show the average popula
tion per occupied dwelling unit in
the United States is 3.8. The num
ber was 4.1 in 1930. The number
of persons per family has been de
creasing steadily since 1890, the bu
reau said.
The bureau attributed the de
cline in the average size of the fam
ily to increased migration to cities
and to a declining birth rate.
The population of the United
States, the bureau said, increased
” 2 per cent from 1930 to 1940 but
the number of families increased
16.3 per cent.
Three states in the Pacific North
west, Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia, reported the lowest figures
on number of persons per family.
The average there was 3.2. The
state with the highest figure was
North Carolina, which reporter 4.6
compared with 4.9 in 1980.
The census bureau pointed that
the increase in tht number of fam
ilies is the significant factor in de
termining the prospective demand
for commodities. Each new fam
ily, the bureau asserted, is a poten
tial purchaser or renter of a home
or dwelling.

SINCE CHRISTMAS IS
here, it is time for the writer
of this column to wish everyone a
very merry Christmas, and happier
new year than ever before. A very
special Christmas wish goes to those

“green reporter” in so many ways.
Thanks a lot, and Merry Christmas.
