Folk Shot of Predicted Number, of Pregnancies Before Uarricge RALEIGH - While North Carolina fell short of the Bureau of Census estimate that one-fourth of all women who marry by age 21 in die United States are pregnant at the time of the wedding, a statistical study of 1973 marriages by the Division of Health Services did show that eight per cent of the brides were in the family way at the time of the nupitals. Out of the nearly 47,000 manages in 1973, 2,624 white brides conceived out-of-wedlock and 1 ,338 nonwhites. Education appeared a fact in a number of pre -martial pregnancies. Brides with 1 2 years of education had the highest frequency of out-of-wedlock conceptions. This was true for whites and nonwhites alike. About 30 per cent of the total out-of-wedlock conceptions among white brides had 17 years of schooling and close to 44 per cent of non white. Brides with only 10 to 11 years of schooling had the next highest frequency of pregnancies. After that, out-of-wedlock conceptions dropped significantly among brides with even one-year of college. White brides with 12 years of education had seven times more out-of-wedlock conceptions than those with one year of college. Nonwhite brides who had completed high school but no college had eight times more out-of-wedlock conceptions than those with one year of college education. Brides, 17-years old, had the highest number of out-of-wedlock conceptions among-whites, while 18-year olds had the most among nonwhites. For white 17-year olds, just under 23 per cent conceived out-of-wedlock, while for non -whites the figure reached almost 22 per cent. For white and nonwhite brides, out-of-wedlock conceptions declined nearly every year of age after 18 and every year of education after the 12th. I LOOKED AND I SAW By Rev. C. R. Stone KNOWING SOMEBODY" The Holy Trinity concept on all divine matters involves the closest relationship to be known in earth as it is in heaven. It is the relationship of knowing somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody involving three persons. It represents the true pattern on how our Christian religion works. In reality, those of us who are true followers of the way have a sure source of strength which cannot be diminished by other powers of antagonism. Further, the three divine connections possess more than enough power to bring all men into subjection, thus making us useful within the framework of God. Of course, the God head does not have to gain the total confidence of all men in order to save the whole world from damnation. Why should followers of the way retain their connection with these divine tap-roots on all divine mattersUnless men maintain their positions within this framework of sure happenings they are bound to lose their ways toward reaching vital goals which affect their everyday patterns of living. The divine pattern for true guidance has been set for all peoples of the world. Furthermore, it is a pattern set forth in the beginning with God when He decided to form the whole world. Because God is the instigator of the plan of knowing Himself, knowing His Son and knowing the Holy Ghost, the pattern on all divine matters involving the lives of men cannot be diminished whether many agree or only a few agree. He who ears to hear let him hear. Mrs. Florence Lifflejohn Hosts Meet Sunday, March 21 the Friendly Circle Club of St. Mark A. M. E.
