It won't just automatically be better than the year that has ended. There's a lot of cynicism about th's modern worid. There's a lot of cynicism about our modern America. There's a lot that's wrong about this modern world. There's a lot that's wrong with our modern America.' But it isn't all bad. And the people aren't all bad.

Gals, Start Now If You Plan Leap Year Drive WASHINGTON UPl-Girls, if you're planning to take advantage of leap year and try to snare a maa in 11160, be prepared for some stiff competition.

It said New Year's day finds the nation with a population of 179.300.000, an increase of 2,900.000 people over a year ago. The bureau estimated there are about 980 U.S. males for every 1.000 females. The totals as of last July were 87.651,000 males and 89,-j 452,000 females. But above age 30. when a "girl" is most likely to be interested in leap year prerogatives the ratio is only 917 males per 1.000 females. SUNDAY GAZER' DrlT r k Activity Guidt fo fht Stars.
