FOUR " ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1946. Four Million Girls In United States Face Spinsterhood By OR. CLIFFORD R. ADAM8 Director of the Marriage Counsel ing Service, Pennsylvania State College and author of "How to Pick a Mate." (AP Newsfeatures) Girls in their late twenties to dav are up against a grim situa tion. They passed the peak of their marriage eligibility while the war was still on, and now find that the boys they date be lore the war are coming back ano marrying their younger sisters, or are not marrying at all. Millions of these girls in their late twenties of course are mar rying. But millions more won t. Sociologist are now' estimating that close to 4.000.000 girls be tween 20 and 35 today will never marry. They appear to be In a sort of "lost generation. Two Reasons Assigned The war Is nartly responsible lor their plight, uur josses in World War II were more than six times greater than in World War I. In this past war about 325,000 men were killed outright and at least that many more suffered such severe physical or mental injuries that they probably will never marry. Another real factor is that tens of thousands of American men married foreign girls while in ser vice. And many men are still abroad. But in subtler ways the war deprived vastly more girls of future husbands. For example, girls must face the fact that the older a man gets the more he tends to marry a girl several years his junior. For example, a man of 25 would frobably marry a girl of 23. Buf et us suppose that he lost out four years while serving in the Army. He is 29; and the girl he Is likely to marry will be about 25, or perhaps only 23. Some of course will marry older girls, but I'm speaking of the average. Furthermore the man at 29 is much less likely to marry at all than he was at 25. The older a single man becomes, the more set he becomes in his ways and the less likely he is to get himself in volved in a situation that will lead to marriage. If he reaches 30 without marrying he is likely to become a confirmed bachelor. What Figures Indicate In normal times about ten per cent of all men stubbornly prefer bachelorhood to mariagc. Now as a result of the war's intervention this number is rising to about 15 per cent of all eligible men. The practical effect of this is a million girls are deprived of a chance to marry. When you add this million Dills to the 650,000 who lost out because of war casualties and the 1,500,000 who lost out because they passed into their late twen ties while the bulk of the men were awRy, you already have. more than 3,000,000 girls who will go husbandless. And to this you must add the millions or more who are victims of the basic, long-range shift of our population. America is growing older as a people. As our population grows older it grows more feminine. Women may be the weaker sex but she consistently outlives the male Dy several years. While more male babies are still being born than female babies, the males go Into the minority at arouna me zoin year now. When an these factors are added together you have an acute male shortage as far as the eligible girl hoping to marry is concerned. Legion's National Field Aide Visits in Roseburg .. .Robert C. Dlllard, national field secretary for the American Le gion, arrived in Roseburg this week to confer with local Legion officials and to visit the Veterans Hospital.

One gallon of a concentrated mixture of insecticide will cover as much as an acre of certain types of foliage. I I v EAT PETOR ALL WINTER 'aft - - - r sJllW '1 ftNJa too, must be VfTY""" I yfrlw!'
