YOU KNOW,
IVE BEEN THINKING
In 1950 figures were re
leased that seems to me it
should make -$11 of us "TIME
CONSCIOUS." Please examine
and draw your own conclusion,'
1.500.000. 000 people liv*
on earth.
50.000. 000 die every year
136,986 die every day..
5,707 die every hour.
95 die every minute^
3 die every other second.
Take into consideratior
these facts:
The average duration oi
life is thirty-three years.
One-quarter of the earth’f
people die before the seventh
year.
One-half of the earth’s
people die before the seven
teenth year.
Out of every 1,000, only
one reaches 100 years.
Out of every 100, only six
reach sixty-five years.
Not more than one in 50C
reaches the eightieth year.
A thought for the week:
The man who stopped on third
base to congratulate himself
failed to make a home-run.
