BY END OF WAR
New York. N. V. 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.
