A boom In marriages was one response to the return of peace, according to statisticians of the Metropoli tan Life Insurance company. In the six months from June through November following V-E day, the number of marriage licenses Issued in the larger cities of the united States show ed a gain of 18 per cent over the same period of 1944, in contrast to the decline of almost three per cent that had been register ed In the period January through May. 1945 Figures Up Marrlaget In 1943, the statist! clans report, were well above the figure for 1940, when selective service first went into effect. At that time, following the fall of France, marriages Increased in number and rose to a peak when the draft act was being dis cussed In congress during Aug' ust 1940. ThU spurt was follow ed by a sharp recession in the months following the passage of the act. Commenting on this, the statisticians say, "In 1941, the year in which the country en- tered the war, the number of marriages in the arge cities reached an even higher level than the year before. Aside from the usual June peak in 1941 there was an unusually high point In December, the month of Pearl Harbor. The unseason ably high points in December 1941 and January 1942 may have been induced, in part, by mar riages in anticipation of the draft of men in the ages from 37 to 45." Wage Is Factor The migration of workers from rural areas and small towns to the larger cities hous ing the war industries, and the high wages which prevailed, the statisticians point out, were im portant factors in the general rise in marriages from 1940 to the peak in 1942. There also was a general disposition among the men In the armed forces to mar ry before leaving for overseas service. A decline in marriages occur red in 1943 and 1944, while mil lions of marriageable men were being sent abroad. This trend was not general In the entire country. In the south, where there were large encampments of soldiers, marriages continued to increase in 1943. In the far west, which had become the home of newly developed avia tion, shipbuilding and other war Industries, marriages showed continued gains into 1943. For the country as a whole, how ever, the decline persisted from the marriage peak in 1942 through the early months of 1945. V-E Day Brings Rise With the return of large num bers of men from Europe after V-E day and the demobilization of men of the armed forces still in this country, marriages rose to a high level during July and August. These factors continued during the fall months, and were augmented by the return of men from the Pacific and Asiatic areas after the defeat of Japan. The withdrawal of large num-l bers of women from the labor force by the closing of war in dustries is also a factor in the recent Increase In marriages.
