That was the margin of births over deaths in the first full postwar year. Tabulation of official statistics showed that 1,022,231 babies were born in 1946, against 820,591 in 1945 while only 541,629 Italians died compared with 619,949 the year before. Moreover, the statisticians pointed out, there were 413,083 marriages last year against 998 in 1945 and 223,673 in 1944. That would mean more babies in 1947, they said and, if things kept up that way, the country's population would reach 50.000.000 in 10 years. Plastic Golf Club Impresses in Debut Yonkers, N.
