Flashing Maps Display Rise In Population Flashing Lights On Map Reveal Daily Population Rise WASHINGTON UP —'Flashing lights bn a’ large map in the Commerce department lobby tell ’ the daily story of the natipn’sl population growth. . . Continuously computed census bureau statistics are transformed by the lights info a running report on births, deaths, arriving Ininiigrants and departing emigrants. \ The map and its rows pf blinking lights are a hit with tourists and government workers alike. On the average of J every nine seconds a bide row lights up indicating that, a baby has been born. Another ripw. df purple bulbs, flashes every 2| seconds. The purple, lights mean someone ip continental United States has died. Every two minutes, on the average, a third row- of lights -- this .one green— to tell t;he viewer that another immigrant hgs entered the country. When the red row lights, every 17 mifiutes. it means that an emigrant has left the country for good. Current census bureau figures show that tjie population makes a net gain, on the of one every Ilf seconds. That is illustrated by the flashing of a white light ■on this map at 13-second intervals. At the same time,, the increase is registered on a large population “speedometer” atap the map. Thus, standing before the map. the viewer can watch the population i“grow” and check its exact total at any one moment. The map, which operates automatically, is shut off at night. The speedometer is reset each morning to show population changes during the night. The “scoreboard” was thought up in 1928 by statisticians in the census bureau’s machine! and statistical laboratories. It was first exhibited at the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair. It traveled to makiy expositions throughout the copntry until 1936 when it was put in ‘mothballs.”, i It remained there until last Spring. At that time,; ilje census bureau decided to publicize the ipopulation data acquired during and since the 1950 census. The machine was dusted off, its calculators adjusted and 1 new Chains and gears added. It has since become one of the capital’s leading tourist attractions. \ When the scoreboard was turn!4d off for the night on Oct. 1, the population "speedometer” had registered 157,794,181 persons. \ J ' They Ride Now DETROIT (U^)—After years of looking at the City's water supply without being able to ride <>n it, the department of water supply finally has 1 a boat.
