Credit outstanding on personal loans reached
an all-time high of sll.B billion last year.
One family in every five moves every year.
Some of them move to Anaheim, Calif., where the
population jumped 613 per cent between 1950 and
’6O. Toward the other end of the scale is Vancouver,
Wash., which lost 22 per cent.
Doctors will be glad to know that the average
American ate only 19.6 apples last year.

An entomologist at Johnson’s Wax says that if
all the progeny of just two parent flies buzzing
around in your living-room in April lived there’d
be approximately 191,010,000,000,000,000,000
descendants in the room by the end of August . . .
something like 60 billion times the world’s popula
tion of humans.
A hundred and ninety-one quintillion flies in
one room would undoubtedly make television-view-

ing more difficult. This may upset certain TV
statistics that came to light last year. For instance,
most youngsters with scholastic troubles name
Westerns as their favorite television fare. Os 32
per cent of married women who specified fights as
their TV sports preference, 92 per cent were blondes.
Ninety-one per cent of all married men inter
viewed in a nationwide poll think of blondes when
they think of gold-diggers. The survey did not go
into the much more significant question of why
these married men should be thinking of blondes
in the first place.
The Youth Research Institute has figures to
prove that half the girls naming the Twist as their
(gyp
favorite dance bite their fingernails (but not while
doing the Twist); also 3B per cent of all girls who
go steady say they are overweight.
The Youth Research Institute may not know
about the findings of the adult research organization
which reported that 47 per cent of all women think
they’re too fat. Only 39 per cent think they’re
"just right.”
To confuse things even more, almost half of
the women who went on diets were normal weight
already, according to the Metropolitan Life Insur
ance Company’s weight-height tables.
There were 5,430,000 bee colonies in the U.S.
last year. They produced 4,728,000 pounds of
J*
beeswax and stung a great many of the mailmen
who escaped being bitten by dogs.
What does it all add up to? Well, we’ll give
you a final stunner: One American man out of 25
would rather be a woman. And one American
woman in every six would rather be a man.
The survey didn’t say how many Americans
would rather be a statistic. TH! IND
