MARRIAGE AGE 1S LOW IN U.S.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Eight- teen was the favorite age for American girls getting married last year.
Brides and bridegrooms in the United States are getting younger. all the time. In fact, the average U.S. marriage age today is probably “the lowest of any industrialized society,” says Robert C.Cook, president of the Population Relerentte Bureau.
This private, non.- profit re- search organization, after por- ing over statistics for 1958, re- ported Sunday:
“The average age of first- time marriages in the United States last year was 23 for men, 2) for women.:More girls mar-- ried at 18 than at any other age.”’
Looking back to the 1898 cen- sus—the first to include mar- riage .data—the bureau notes the average age of men marry- ing then was 26 and women 22.
While the marriage age is de- clining, there seems to be a trend to make the minimum legal age higher. Five years ago, four states permitted girls to marry at the age of 12 if they had the consent of parent or guardian.
In 1958, the lowest legal min- imum for girls to marry in any state was 14. Only two states—. Idaho and Missouri—permitted boys of 15 to marry.
The bureau reported that about a quarter of all mar- riages last year were remar- riages. One of every 20 divorced women remarrying was a teen- ager.

Prince Edward Island wants a causeway across the nine miles of the Northumberland Stnait to New Brunswick and, in the mean- time, it wants another icebreaker ear ferry, Premier A. W. Mathe- son said Saturday in an address to visiting delegates of the Cana- dian Manufacturers Association.
Mr. Matheson spoke at a lunch- eon given by the government to the visitors, who spent most of the day enjoying island scenery and hospitality.
“I know a causeway is feas- ible,’ Premier Matheson said,” because I have talked with the people who have studied it. The sooner we get the report (from the federal government) on the causeway the better."’
He said he was disappointed to read that a planned new ship for the Borden-Cape Tormentine run
| would not be an icebreaker.
The premier’s comments were in line with those made by other island residents in conversation with delegates.
TICKLISH PROBLEM
They emphasized that present island transportation to the main- land not only is strained but in winter hangs by too narrow a} thread—one modern icebreaker and car ferry, the \begweit, as- sisted by the 44-year-old icebreak- ing car ferry Prince Edward Is- land. :
One official commented: “If anything should happen to the Abegweit our situation would be bo peg and would affect- not
only us, but the people who + ie iamtions Pee seater
cy from other parts of Can-
a don’t necessarily need a luxury-type ship like the Abeg- weit. It would be just a “flat top” —hbut it should be an icebreaker carrying both trains and motor cars.”
The CMA delegates, making a Maritime tour following their an- nual meeting at St. Andrews, N.B., were met at Borden Satur- day morning by 35 private cars from Charlottetown, with Prem- ier Matheson driving one of them. They were taken to Summer- side, then through the national park along the island’s north shore beaches, including a visit)
home at Cavendish. MILLION-ACRE FARM
The island—known as Canada’s Million-Acre Farm and with an economy based upon products of the farm and the sea—sees grow- ing mainland population and new mining camps in northern Quebec and Labrador offering larger markets than ever before.
It also sees new industries
being established to procesc the products of farm and sea.
And it sees adequate and mod- ern transportation as a must to handle the increased production.

Premier Matheson commented that in the past the typical island farm had been one of 100 to 150 acres. Now, he added, there is a turn to both larger and smaller farms, with some running up to 1,500 acres, and with a place also for the small farm of 10, 20 or 30 acres.

Island hospitality brought out something rare at manufacturers meetings—a robust sing-song, led by a violin and piano duo of Al McKearney ,and Al Blanched of Charlottetown.
Following the luncheon the delegates visited the island’s leg- islative building, including the Confederation chamber, and then left for Moncton, from where most of them proceeded home. A group of about 17 went from Moncton to Newfoundland by air.

Rapists Lives Spared By White Jury Panel
year-old Negro college girl but a white male jury spared the lives of all.
A majority vote for mercy by the 12 members of the jury en- sured that the defendants would not be the first white men ever sentenced to the state’s electric chair for the rape of a Negro.
Instead, they face a maximum sentence of life iniprisonment but, at the discretion of the court, could conceivably get as little as a probationary sentence.
NOT A SOUND
There was not a sound in the packed courtroom as the jury’s separate verdicts for the four were read off by Judge W. May Walker. But a few moments later Mrs. Pearlie Collinsworth, wife of the eldest defendant and mother of his two children, screamed “‘O, Jesus” and broke into uncontrol- lable sobs.
Other relatives among the white spectators wept at the ver- dict.
The defendants seemed stunned but as they walked out of the courtroom one of them, David E, Beagles, 18, a high school senior, began to weep. : DESCRIBED AS MORON
