Only 26% Dote Back To WWI How many of the Important events of modern times have taken place within the lifetime of present residents of Frank lin County? . What proportion of the local population goes back far enough In time to remember the first crossing of the United states by an automobile, In 1903? Or the year 1909, when Peary reached the North Pole? Or the out break of World War I? Or D-Day, when the Allies landed In France? 3A breakdown of Franklin bounty's population into age groups, based on Government figures, shows that only 26 per cent, locally, had even been born by the end of World War I. In 1912 the 16th Amendment was approved, giving Congress the power, for the first time, to levy a Federal tax on in come. That year also witnessed the sinking of the Tltantlc by an Iceberg, with a loss of 2,200 lives. About 20 percent of the county's residents date back that far. Only 38 percent could have been present when Lindbergh flew the Atlantic, In 1927. Not more than 53 percent had been born when the Japanese at tacked Pearl Harbor, In 1941.' New generations of young peo- i pie, to whom many of these hap -penlngs are purely historical, B4v?- sprung up since then In Franklin County. Today, the figures show, there are more of these- young folk around, in proportion to the to tal population, than in the past. Since World War II, when the birth rate started to zoom up ward, they have been arriving on the scene at a rapid rate. As a result, nearly half the population of the United States Is to be found In the under-2S age groups at the present time. The Influence and power wielded by the younger genera tion has risen Just as rapidly. President Kennedy, who reached the White House at age 43, Is a prominent example. He was born after this country had entered World War I. In Franklin County, the flr gures show, the median age of the population is 24.2. There are as many local people under that age as there are over It. It compares with a median of 29.5 years .In the United States as a whole, 27,5 In the South Atlantic States and 25.5 In the State of North Carolina.
