Between 1970 and 1973, nonmetro population grew by 4.2 percent, compared with an increase of only 2.9 percent in metro areas, reports demographer Calvin Beale of the Department’s Economic Research Service. This new trend, he notes, will have a continuing impact on U.S. population distribution at least to the end of this century. Both economic and at titudinal factors are drawing people away from big cities and into less densely populated areas. Some reasons for the growth of nonmetro countries are increased settlement there of retired people, improved job opportunities created by FEATURING; • Anti-Vibration Systems • Automatic Oiling on All Models 40 Years Experience in Design and Production c| oh " L Ut a utter REPAIR SERVICE R.D.2, East Earl, PA Phone 215-445-6175 'A MILE NORTH OF GOODVILLE ON UNION GROVE ROAD A & B Sales & Service L Miles South of Route 23 Alone 772 thru Monterey R.D.I, RONKS, PA evening with his magic show for the whole family.

Saturday’s music will be provided by Ephrata, Pa. disc jockey, Ken Lightner and his group. decentralization of manufacturing and other industry, expansion of state colleges, and increased recreation activity. Non metro counties adjacent to metro areas have shown rapid growth. In addition, the birthrate seems to be higher in nonmetro than in metro counties. Even in those areas where population is still decreasing - such as heavily agricultural or predominantly black nonmetro counties - the rate of outmigration is slowing down. Aside from economic factors, the appeal of major urban areas has diminished for many people, including the young and mobile as well as those at or near retirement age. Easier transportation and com munication and the modernization of rural life have helped make rural areas, small towns, and the small metro area appealing, Beale says.
