Teen Era ’ Phasing Out
In Population Forecast
Getting bored with talk about
teenagers, their problems and
their way-out fashions?
Then take heart: the 1970 s
may be a little more adult than
the past decade.

very well come to be known as
the era of the newlyweds, new
babies and grandparents.
Viewed another way, teen
agers won’t be quite as dom
inant a group as they are today.
Their numbers will not de
crease, but they’ll be a smaller
proportion of the total popula
tion. Here’s what we mean: At
present there are about 22.5
million teenagers in a popula
tion of slightly more than 200
million. In 1980, there’ll be about
24 million, but in a total popu
lation predicted to be 230 mil
lion.
What’s happening is that to
day’s teenagers are growing up.
And, presumably they’ll settle
down, join the world of work
ing people, marry and start their
own new families. There are
now about 2 million marriages
a year in the U.S.
At the same time, the low
birth rates of the past few years
will mean a leveling-off in the
teenage population as the na
tion enters the 19705.
The nation’s birthrate is ex
pected to remain low.
Still, the experts are predict
ing a new baby boom.
This isn’t as paradoxical as
it seems. The number of babies
expected to be born will be
high. But the number of births
—in relation to the total popu
lation—will be low.
In reality, it’s a question of
family size. In the 1950’s —when
the birthrate was considered
high—families were relatively
large. There were three or four
or more children in many house
holds.
In other words, the last popu
lation boom came because of
large families. The next boom
will be because there will be
more families.
In fact, the forecasters say
that by 1980 there will be about
35 million households with at
least one child. Currently, that’s
true of only 28 million house
holds.
And what about today’s adults?
Many will be part of a new
generation of grandparents—a
big generation. The number of
people in the age group 55 years
old or older is expected to in
crease by 20 per cent over the
coming decade.
This new turn in the life cycle
of most families will, in all
probability, be reflected in popu
lar culture and fashion, as well
as in the more basic areas of
Weekly Newspapers
Endorse Post Office
Corporation Plan
A spokesman for weekly
newspapers told the House
Post Office Committee in
Washington, that he accepts
the need for postal rate in
creases but they must be ac
companied by reform such as
the Administration’s proposal
to turn the post office into a
government corporation.
Jack Lough, Albion, Neb.,
and president of the National
Newspaper Association said
that his members realize “con
version of the post office de
partment to a corporation will
mean an increase in what they
pay for delivery of their news
papers.’’
“But rate increases, with
out reorganization, are inevi
table,” he said, and “the result
will have to be higher and
higher rates for poorer and
poorer service.”
The NN A represents 7,000
newspapers the bulk of them
weeklies. Lough is publisher of
two weekly papers, The Albion
News and The Cedar County
News at Hartington, Neb.
The NN A voted recently to
support the Administration’s
proposal to remove the post
office from the Cabinet, oper
ate it as a corporation under
a nine-member board of direc
tors and set up a separate
board to adjust postal rates
subject to Congressional re
view.
Speed Reading
For the Blind
Is Developed
Speedreading for the blind
has been made possible through
dedicated industrial research
and development.
In 1938 R. L. Miller of Bell
Laboratories invented a sig
naling system, and suggested
applying the principle of fre
quency division to individual
harmonic frequency compo
nents in order to reduce speech
bandwidth.
In 1955 the laboratory de
veloped a “voice band com
pressor” and in 1962, using
the same principle, an har
monic compressor was devel
oped.
Since that time refinements
have been made, and now
through the use of a digital
computer 36 bandpass filters
separate the speech into its dif
ferent frequency components.
The output is sent to dividers
which halve the frequencies of
the narrow-band signals from
the filters.
From the dividers, the
halved frequency signals have
distortion removed and com
bined into one signal. The fre
quency components are then
half of the original input
values. This “harmonically
compressed” signal is recorded
on magnetic tape.
The halved frequencies are
restored to their original val
ues by doubling the playback
speed. Syllabic rate is then
doubled without doubling the
pitch of the speech.
The result is that the Amer
ican Foundation for the Blind
speakers who record at an
average of 160 to 170 words
per minute, can now double
the speed without increasing
the pitch of the recording re
sults to 300-400 words per
minute which is the average
speed reading rate.
the economy.
In other words, the newly
weds will be concerning them
selves with the challenges of
family - life—everything from
solving housing problems to
building their standards of liv
ing and making plans for secure
futures. And many of today’s
adults will be concentrating on
plans and financial programs for
retirement.
And, of course, with a whole
new generational cycle begin
ning, different issues will evolve
to be aired by leaders of com
munity volunteer organizations
and government officials.
