jalth has announced that
i of this State died dur
who had passed the one

) used in determining age at
of these aged people were
from the certificates of death
t are filed in the vital statistics
j oi the state Board of Health.'
(certificate calls for the follow-
items of information pertinent
ascertaining age at death: date
urui, uuxe oi ueaui, arm age at
Jl.
.vhat is the explanation for more
-groes than whites living to be a
mdred years of age or more before
ying? . When it ils realized that
approximately three-fourths -of . the
Kate's population - is white, there is
10 authentic answer. ' . -'
Age at death was tabulated on 'the
basis of the , date of birth shown on
the death:: certificate, in conjunction
with the, age and date of death. In
every, instance, the date of birth was
given for the white deaths and when
. subtracted from the date of death,
checked with, the age at death. The
( date of birth was not given for seven
fit the Negroes only the age at death.
It j has been, suggested that the
Negro, if he survives the hazards of
disease more prevalent in his race' in
the easier years of life, has a better
chance of living longer than the wihite
person because of the mode of living.
The age-color specific mortality
rate is higher for every age group in
the Negro than in the white up to
the, 75-84 age group. The death rate
in the group 75 .and above is higher
In the white race This lends strong
support to the fact that more.Negroes
reach the century mark before death,
statisticians believe.
, It istof interest to note, statisticians
say, that 47 of the old folks died in
of the people died in the same county
in which they resided. Old folks
do come home to die.
, The fiaritai status of these cen
tenarians who died in 1951 is very
interesting There were- no bache
lors and three unmarried women. All
but three of the 61 married people who
died were widowed. , The three mar
ried people who died left their hus
bands behind.
- Twenty-six eastern residents and 28
western residents died during the year.

This compares very favorably with
population distribution ther being
47 per cent of the population in the
eastern part of the State. '
Ashe, Guilford, and Mecklenburg
Counties had the most centenarians to
die three in each county. The coun
ties had twocentenarians to die and
twenty-five counties had one.
In summary, , it may be stated that
proportionately more Negroes Vve to
be one hundred than do white, people;
that certain areas of the state are
not more conductive to 'longevity than

AMERICA'S
TEXTILE LEADER! .
Ever since 1813, when the first cotton mill
in the state was established, the textile in
dustry has blazed the trail for North Carolina'
industrial progress. In 1951 there were 1,047
. textile mills with 230,000 workers and sales
totaling nearly 3 BILLION dollars! It is pro
gress like this that has made North Caroline
e better piece in which to work, play end live.
, Another contributing factor to more pleasant
living for North Carolinians it the brewing
industry's self -regulation program where
brewers, wholesalers end retailers-in coun
ties where malt beverage sales are permitted
tinder state control cooperate to maintain
wholesome conditions for the legal sale of
beer end ale.
