PAGE THREE MEDIAN AGE OF Wounded in Bataan Battle National Median 29 Years Increase Due Lower Birth, Death Rates In State. Washington, April 14.- The median age of the popula tion of Washington and Oregon is much older than the national median, the Bureau of Census reported today. Studio of the last census showed the national median age was 29 years on April 1, 1940 (an Increase of 2V4 years since 1930) and ranged .ee. from 22.2 years in South Caro- W lina to 33 years in California, In Oregon it was 32.4 years second highest in the nation; in Washington it was 32.2 third highest in the nation and equalled only by New York, (The median age is that age which divides the population in to two equal age groups one half being older and one half younger than the median. Ord- tnarily. it is a year or two lower than the arithmetical average of the ages of the population.) Advance Explained "The advance in the median .-age", the report stated, "results chiefly from lower birth rates and lower death rates in the past decade. Another factor has been the practical cessation of Immigration which has permit ted the foreign-born population a in the U. S. to grow older with W out replacement by new and younger Immigrants. "The foreign-born white popu- lation, with a median-age of 51 years ,was the oldest of the race nativity groups. It was also oldest in 1930, as well as being the group with the greatest in crease 7.1 years in median age since 1930. "The next oldest group, the native whites, with a median age of 26.9 years in 1940, had a median 3.2 years higher than in 1930. Only in this native white croup were females older, on the average, than males their median being 27.1 to 26.7 years for native white males. (Na ' tionally, the median for all males was 29.1; for females 29.) "The urban population median age was 31 years; averaging 3.3 years older than the rural non farm population, which, in turn O averaged 3.3 years older than the rural farm population. Even though the median age of the rural farm population (24.4 r.-",mr r - . .Li 1 m . i .'... l Litters of wounded men arrive at receiving ward of Bataaa army hospital, some having received preliminary first aid. years) was the lowest of the three groups in 1940, it rose 2.8 years from 1930, or more than that of either of the other two groups."

Murphy, vice president and manager of the Pinnacle Packing company today an nounced that that organization has employed Jack Spalding as sales manager effective March 16.

"This step has been taken," said Mr. Murphy, "because our increased tonnage makes it necessary to have the sales of fice where the fruit is grown, packed and stored. Prompt and efficient handling of sales will result. "Pinnacle Packing company pears have been sold through Gwin, White and Prince, Inc for a number of years," Mr. Murphy stated, "and it is with considerable regret that we have terminated our connections with them, but we feel this move is for the best interest of Pinnacle's grower customers."
