These men and women -some young and some old -who would have been living with relatives or others in former years, now are able to swing it financially, by themselves.

And, it appears, they are getting great satisfaction out of their ability to do so. In Raleigh County, according to a study of data compiled in connection with the recent Census of Housing, no less than 15.3 per cent of all dwelling units are now occupied by singles. Throughout the United States as a whole, the percentage is 17.6. It is 15.9 per cent in the South Atlantic States and 16.0 per cent in the state of West Virginia. Included in the "singles" category are people who have never married as well as divorced and widowed persons who have not remarried.

The extent of the change in the local area is to be seen by looking at comparable figures gathered 10 years ago At that time only 9.2 per cent of the units were occupied by singles. In most other parts of the country, similarly, there have seen big increases in the num- er of house- lolds. As a result of this development, the average household is smaller than before. It declined from a median of 3.0 persons per unit to 2.7. In Raleigh County, the latesl figures show, the number oi one-person households is now 3,347, as compared with the 1960 total of 1,934.

Analysts offer a variety of explanations for these changes They point to the rise in job opportunities for women, which has made them more self- sufficient economically. Many more women are in the unattached state because of the rise in the number of widows and divorcees in the last decade. However, a bigger proportion of them have become self-supporting because of job availability, social security pensions and other resources. The living alone trend is growing rapidly, also, among young unmarried people, espe cially in the larger cities. More than a million of them now have their own places.

Second Youth Opportunity Camp Under Way At Outdoor Complex The second Raleigh County Youth Opportunity Camp is now under way at The Raleigh County Outdoor a i Complex near Daniels. Camp executive director Gilbert Barnette said the first five-day camping session concluded Friday and a total of 124 children, between the ages of 9 and 14, participated. Camp sessions include classes in first aid, mountain heritage, motorcycle safety, a archery and nature lore. Assemblies are held each day from noon to 1 p.m., with crafts classes beginning at 2 p.m., for children 9 through 11. The craft classes instruct the children on the techniques of making articles such as love beads, bracelets, necklaces, a bands, fancy film flower pots and arm bands.

Advanced craft projects for the older age group of 12 through 14, consist of articles such as tile or macaroni jewelry boxes decoupage plaques, fortune wheel medallions and fancy film flower The theme for this year is "Happy Happening" and the staff has planned top notch programs for the young campers, who are urged by the camp staff to do their part by attending all classes and other projects which have been planned for them. The camp also hosts special events for the campers such as visits to the outdoor dramas, "Honey in the Rock" and "Hatfield McCoys." Other late evening entertainment is spent with rock bands and evening campfires, i which the campers sing and perform various stunts to entertain.

Beckley Postmaster B. Earl Rice reminds postal customers. Rice a i participating citizens need only give their names and addresses to the Postal Sen-ice to guard against being sent sexually-oriented ads ever, if they have never received such materials. The Inw allows an individual to ask the Postal Service for himself and on behalf of this minor child under 19 that he not receive such materials from If a mailer sends sex ads to a person named on the Postal Service list for 30 days or more, the mailer is subject to civil action or criminal prosecution, Rice said.

Approximately 215,000 persons already have taken advantage of the anti-smut program since it went into effect Feb. 1 as part of the Postal Peorganiza- tion Act. The new program, Rice said complements the Pander thc i park; showgrounds. The fair will include a horse show, flower show, pet show and other activities.
