There is food for thought in a per- 
usal of the vital statistics of Man- 
chester for the year just closing, as 
printed on page 7 of this issue. The 
number of marriages, births and 
deaths is about an average—there be- 
ing 27, 48 and 34, respectively. Of 
the 48 births, 18 were males and 30 
were females,—a proportion ‘very ' 
much against averages. And it is 
noted that with a very small popula- 
tion of distinctly foreign born, one- 
sixth of the births must be credited to 
the Polish families within our midst. 
Manchester’s death rate has been 
very low as usual. Of the 34 deaths 
recorded only five were under 30 
years of age; 10 were between 50 and ~ 
70; 7 between 70 and 8o, and 8 (one- 
quarter of the total) were over 80 
years,—and this with a year-round 
population of about 3000, and over 
4000 for six months of the year. .
