NEW YORK. N. Y. Jan. i— An increase of 2.810,000 during 1955 brought the population of the United States to 166. 740,000 at the year’s end. The increase wa-s only 13,000 less than the allic i time record set in 1954. This was the tenth year in which the high rate of population growth has continued unabated. During the decade the gain was about ‘-:6.000,000, a large number than in the preceding 21

years.

Natural increase in population during the year the excess of births over deaths amounted to 2,570 000, compared with 2,590,000 in 1954. About 250,000 was gained through migration, which is several thousand more than the number in each of the preceding three years. Although each geographic division of the country shared in the population growth, the Pacific States continued to experience the highest rate of increase about twoce the rate for the country as a whole. Californias’ population lias increased by 2 2 3 million since April 1950. it is pointed out, and now numbers about 13 N million. "If present trends remain unchanged. before 1967 California will edge New York out of its position as the State which ranks first in population," the statisticians report. The Mountain States, as well, gained population rapidly during 1955, with the rate of increase in Nevada and Arizona greater than in any other, state. Florida, Maryland, Delaware, Michigan, Ohio, Connecticut, and New Jersey also-experienced a rate of population growth well above the national average.

Ho'V often have you heard it paid, ''I’ve paid all my hills except the doctor’s. He can wait’*? \\ hen we have recovered, the fearful urgency of that night call is easilv forgotten. In answer to our frantic call, what if the doctor had said, "Oh; it’s nothing serious. Wait until morning and come down to the office."
