Another organization which has
been active lately is the Math
Club or, aa its members are more
commonly called, the Radicals.
They plan to earn money for pur-
chasing a small analog computer
by sponsoring a guessing contest.
WINNER, AA TRAFFIC
SAFETY PO5TER CONTEST
Those who wish to guess the num-
I bet: of beans in a jaz' may estimate
the number for 5c a guess. A stuf-
fed animal will be awarded to the
person submitting the most accu-
rate guess.
Recently Dexter Edge, a chem-
ical engineer at Rayonier, visited
a meeting of the Math Club and
presented an informabive talk on
computers. Another project plan-
ned by the Radicals is a trip to the
McChord, Air Force Base to see
the Sedge Command. which con-
trols the air defense of the North-
west.
THE BOYS ARE preparing to
display their talent in a show
which they are required to put on
for the girls as a penalty for being
the losers in the annual T.B. Drive
contest. The Girls' Club challenged
the Boys' Club to collect more con-
tributions than they and won. The
results of the contest were known
last February and the girls have
been waiting patiently since that
time. April 23 is the date set for
the talent show.
Rehearsals for the sophomore
play "My Three Angels", have
been underway for several weeks.
The play, which will be presented
May 6 and 7, is under the direction
of Dean Tarrach assisted by stud-
ent director, Terri Turner. The
cast consists of Gary Hughes, Reta
Carte, Jill Jeffery, Susan Ogden,
Ralph Robinson, Foster OZT, David
Miltenberger, Bill Surratt, Jack
Bryant and Terry Carpenter.
Tickets to the play can be purcha-
sed from members of the sopho-
more class.
Birth, Death
Ratios In
County Told
The ratio of births to deaths
was 2.5 to 1.
The official tabulation shows a
total of 3.533 births locally during
the period as against 1.393 deaths.
Not included in these figures are
births and deaths of non-residents
that occurred wiLhin the county.
The report, issued by tte De-
partment of Commerce is based
on data compiled by t he U. S. Pub-
lic Health Service.
DESPITE TIlE FACT that there
has been a decline in the birth
rate in recent years in most of
the nation, the rate in Mason
County has remained relatively
high.
The annual average locally, over
the 10-year period, was 22.6 births
per 1,000 population.
For a number of years after
World War 2. there was a rapid
increase in the number of births
in the United States. Larger faro-
flies were the thing.
More recently, there has been a
change in atttitude. It appears
that many couples have decided
to have smaller families than they
had originally planned.
Various factors and influences
had a part In that decision, a'ceord-
ing to sociologists who have com-
mented on it.
ONE OF THESE 1S the high
cost of sending children to college.
The financial burden involved in
making such pzvisions for more
than one o,' two children has led
to second thoughts in a large
number of families.
Other influencing factors include
the growth of unemployment in
recent years and the fear that
East-West tefisions might lead to
