The Year of.,1 955 "Good
One for Women of U.S.
By GAY PAULEY
United Press Correspondent
New . York (U.fi) Almost ev
ery vayyou look at 1955 as it
goes .into history, it was one of
the better years of our livesf
More womerf employed than L
ever before . . . personal income
at anll-time high . . . cost of
living near a standstill . . . con
sumer spending s6aring . . : birth
and death rate fairly steady . . .
and many a . child saved from
death or crippling by a won
drous product of the test tube,
theSalk vaccine.
But it was not a year without
its shadows too. There was the
frightening problem of Juvenile
crime; the mountainous task of
providing more teachers and
classrooms fer school children;
personal suffering for a woman
whose famous htisband had a
heart attacfe. .
First, loek t how the year
affected the family budget.
More Outside Job
Approximately 1,100,000 more
women- held jobs outside the
home in 1855 than in 1851 This
year's total, as estimated fey the
women' bureau, the TJ. S. De
partment ef Labor, was 20,500,
000. Personal income was at a
new nigh. But consumer spend
ing also set new "records, aiueh
of it on-eredit buying. The Fed
eral Reserve Board eafd 53 out
of every "100 families owed
mosey en an installment pur
chase, o
The coat of living, whleft im
mediately ftfter World War II,
climbed by leaps and bounds,
settled down with oply fraction
al changes irf the year.
Helping to 'keep the family'
budget in line was the recoEd
supply of food at stable priees.
Oa the medJeal front, the year
was notable for the crippling
blow etfuek at "the great crip
pie?." ' .
In April, results of the 1934
mass irioculatiens of ehildren
with polio vaeeifie developed by
Dr. Jonas Salk were announced.
The vacclae was called safe and
80 to 0 per cent effective. The
American Medical assoc4atien
ealled. the results "one of the
great eveats in tile history of
raedieine."
Birth Rate Dcowo .
Tiie birth rate showed 3 very
slight decline in 1955; the death
rate r-eee a fraction. The Nation
al Office of Vital Statistics said
the birth rate through Septem
ber the latest figure available
was 24.6 per 1,000 persons,
compared with 24.B in 1954. The
death rate through September
was 9.S per 1,000, compared with
9.2 last year.
Marriage rates, curiously
enough, were identical with
death' rates.
. A grim "statistic eame from J.
Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI.
He said that one out of evepy 18
teen-agers between the ages of
IS and 17 is a Juvenile delin
quent.
