lion this year. A 3.0 percent
increase to 3.67 million units is
projected for the nation in 1987.
Civilian non-agricultural employ-
ment in Pennsylvania is expected to
increase 1.6 percent in 1986 from

is expected in 1987.
Pennsylvania’s civilian unemploy-
ment rate is expected to average 9.1
percent in 1986 and 8.9 percent in
1987, compared with an estimated
8.5 percent this year.
Nationwide, the association fore-
casts that civilian employment

and 1.6 percent in 1987. The U.S.

average 7.4 percent next year and
7.5 percent in 1987, compared with
about 7.2 percent in 1985.

Babies born
at same time
There were no superstitions in the
minds of Elizabeth Hicks of Dallas,
and Kathryn Snyder of Wilkes-
Barre after they both delivered
baby girls, at the exact same
moment on Friday the 13th at the
Geisinger-Wyoming Valley Medical
Center.
“I was two dates past my due
time, and when I woke up that
morning and looked out the window
at the snow thinking that it was
Friday the 13th, I knew, if anything,
it was a good omen,” Mrs. Snyder
commented.
Mrs. Hicks was four days past her
expected delivery date, and she,
too, had no reservations about what
a cold, snowy Friday the 13th might
bring.
Baby Laura Ann Snyder weighted
in at eight pounds, and measured
20% inches. She has two sisters,
Amy, eight, and Becky, six, and a
brother, Barry Jr., two and one-
half.
Baby Kateyln Elizabeth Hicks
weighted in at seven pounds, one
ounce, and measured--more coinci-
dence--20 % inches. She has a sister,
Kristen, age three and one-half.
Barry Snyder and Ted Hicks, the
proud fathers, agreed that they
have no negative feelings surround-
ing Friday the 13th.
