Georgia's Urban
Trend Indicafes
Rural Decline
Population experts at the Uni
versity of Georgia have indicated
that the poputaiion of Georgia
might go into a decline if the pre
sent trend toward a high percent
age urban population continues.
In an article in the current issue
of the Georgia Alumni Record,
Drs. B. O. Williams and C. A. Mc-
Mahan of the University’s sociol
ogy department cite figures which
they say give “abundant food for
thought” about a possible popu
lation decline.
As people move out of the coun
try and into the city, they say the
birth rate declines. In 1950, in
spite of an overall ten per cent
rise in population, there were few
er Georgians living in rural areas
than there were in 1940.
Last year’s census for the second
time in history lists fewer rural

BIRTHDAY BALLOON—A replica of the Montgolfiere, a hot-air
balloon that made its first flight in 1783, takes off during colorful

people than the census of a de
cade earlier. There are now few
er people living in rural areas of
Georgia than at any time since the
census of 1900, {
“This is an important phenome-’
non in the light of our knowledge
of past differentials in rural and
urban fertility rates,” the article
points out. Normally birth rates,
in rural areas are much highcrl
than those for urban areas. '
The article adds, however, that,
in recent years there has been a
slight reversal of the low urbnnl
rate trend and that cities are tend
ing to repopulate themselves to a
greater extent than in the past.
If this trend proves to be mere
ly a “baby boom” and birth rate
statistics revert to normal, then a
small rural population may mean
an overall drop in population fig
ures.
“Since the rural areas have al
ways been the seedbed of the state
and natlon, there is abundant food
for thought in the implications of
these trends.”
The article points out that in a
rapidly growing nation which is
becoming rapidly urbanized, each
succeeding census has shown a
larger total population and a
larger urban segment than for the
preceding one. Likewise the ru
ral portions of the nation have
grown from each census to the
next (except between 1940 and
1950) but such has not always
been true for the rural population
of Georgia.
At the decade ending in 1930,
the rural population of Georgia
was smaller than it was 10 years
earlier. And for the second time
in Georgia’s population history,
the census of 1950 listed fewer ru
{al people than for a decade earl
er.
Dr. Williams and Dr. McMahan
also point out there are only five
“old” Georgia cities, or cities
which were listed in the 1850 U.
S. census. With a city being de
fined as an incorporated place of
2500 or more people, these include
Atlanta, Columbus, Macon, Au
gusta, and Savannah.
There are 26 “medium” aged
cities, or those which appeared in I

the 1900 census, and 69 “new”
Georgia cities ,or cities which were
listed as such in the 1950 census
but not in the 1900 census.
A little more than 40 per cent
of Georgia’s population is now ur

per cent for the past decade. In the
nation as a whole 59 per cent of
the population is urban.
Summer Let-Down,
Vacation Routine
Makes Life Easy
BY RUTH MILLETT
Summer needn’'t be too hard on
the homemaker if she will regard
it as the time when she can sim
plify her family’s living and make
use of all the shortcuts and time
savers she knows.
That is what a family does
when they go off on a vacation. By
adopting a vacation attitude to
ward living for all the summer
months, life can be a lot more fun
at home.
Turn summer suppers into pic
nic meals and the whole family
will pitch in to help, even though
the ‘“picnic” is just on the porch
or in the yard.
Promise the kids a swim or an
afternoon at the park if they’ll
help with the housecleaning and
watch the work get done in a
hurry. Maybe it won't be as thor
ough as Mom would have done it
alone, but it will be good enough
for vacation living.
Skip the Dinner Invitations
Asking friends to come by after
dinner or on week-end afternoons
instead of inviting them for din
ner makes entertaining in the
summer simple and easy. There
fore it’s fun instead of hard work.
Moving the living room out of
doors helps, too — both in saving
work and in saving tempers. An
outdoor living room doesn’'t crowd
a family up so . that they get in
each other’'s way.
Asking “Is this job really nec
essary?” helps, too, to cut down on
househecld drudgery when the
mercury soars.
All of those things comprise
taking a vacation attitude toward
living. And the woman who adopts
it is sure to get more enjoyment ‘
out of the suntrmer months than
the woman who isn't willing to let
down.

ed horsemeat plants in the United ‘
States is located at Redmond, Ore, ‘

ago. The Decatur man, a former
locomotive engineer, built his in
vention from a Ford motor con

steam engine.
Kiser tried to organize his own
manufacturing firm. He and his
partner ran out of money before
operations got started. Kiser was
so discouraged he sold the inven-

sas, where he died in 1927.
