County Leads In March To Altar

by Ed Harnett All that fluttering overhead wasn’t from migrating birds. Cupid winged his way about Cape May County often enough last year to make the county tops in the state, with a marriage rate of 8.3 per thousand in 1980. Who’d have thought it, with all the senim* citizens! AT THE OTHER end of the nuptial scale, according to the annual report of the State Department of Health, was Ocean County, where the rate was only 6.6. Possibly proving that togetherness leads ta the altar, of the major cities, densely populated (New Brunswick, with 17 3, and Union City, with 11.2, led the rush to the altar in 1980. Parsippany-Troy Hills in Morris County, with a lot of open space ranked last, withCT. IT ALL ADDED up to the highest number of marriages since 1974, with 55,794 couples taking the big step, up from 54,740 in 1979. That’s a statewide rate of7.6 per 1,000. For many, it iras the

DENNISVILLE : - Dozens of area residents were introduced to Sturdy Savings and Loan's modern new full-serviCe , branch office here when it was officially opened Dec. 11. The new office, which replaces Sturdy's smaller Dennisville office is at Rt.

47 and Tyler Rd.

To celebrate the opening of the new office, Sturdy is giving premiums to customers opening new ac-

second time around. Of all the brides and grooms, 27.4 percent of the men and 24.7 of the women were previously wed. AS MIGHT BE expected with all that marrying up going on, the state birth continued to climb, and hit its highest point since 1972, with 13.1 births per 1,000. Leading the baby parade was Camden County, with 15.8, and trailing was Bergen, with 9.9. CAPE MAY County ranked eighth among the 21 counties, with 12.4, down slightly from 12.9 in 1979. Most fecund, among the cities, were Camden, with 24.4; Paterson, with 20.5; Passaic, with 18.2; Newark, with 18.5; and Plainfield, with 16.8. In Atlantic County, where Atlantic City’s 'casino boom has made thinking of odds natural, marriage was an even money bet, wittfa 7:8 rate for both 1979 and 1980. The odds dipped slightly on births from 15 to 14.8 in

Casino City.

Anyway, all over the state money were taking the big gamble. Who said romance is dead?
