It said only Africa is exempt from a falling rate of population growtli in the past decade. The rate of increase world-wide slowed to 1.9 percent during the 1970s, according to a Commerce Department spokesman, compared with 2.0 for the previous 15 years. The new population statistics were released Sunday by the bureau in an advance summary of its forthcoming "World Population 1977." It projected the total world population at 4.3 billion for 1977, with an increase of 80 million from July 1976 to July 1977. Half of the people of the world live in either China, India, the Soviet Union or the United States, the bureau said. The other hall populates 196 countries and territories around the globe. Statistically, there are slightly more than four births per second compared with 1.5 deaths. Earth registers a net gain of 200,000 new individuals each day and more than 75 million people each year The bureau said world density is estimated at 81 people per square mile. 1 ’ Four out of 10 people now live in either China or India, the sum mary said. When the populations of the United States and the Soviet Union are added, 50 percent of the world s population is represented. The bureau warns that its calculations lack solid data on Chinas population, estimated at 982.5 million in 1977. The last public census in China was completed in 1953, according to Ellen Jamison, chiefof the demographic branch of the Census Bureau. clay- Celebrate to World Hello Day Gburt^d num ImpDrtersj_& purveyors of the world’s finest wines & foods. 4301 Garter Creek Pky BryanTx. 77801 779-6953 (Specialty meats and cheeses and Coffees and Teas and (Spices and Caviar and Thtes and fhsfa and Ctrty trays for special occasions and Bulk olives and Gift baskets and French ccokwate and...

However, an old lady said “hi” and a pretty girl smiled, and that was considerably better than I fared five years ago on the first World Hello Day. In case you don’t know it, today you’re supposed to blurt out a cheery “hello” to 10 total strangers. Yale student Michael McCormack dreamed up the idea in 1973 as a way to “promote peace and under standing” across the globe. Then, he estimated, 300 million people took part. This year, he be lieves the number will top 2 billion. For both years, those figures in cluded me. In my first assignment at UPI, editor Al Bruce told me to go out onto the streets of Manhattan and greet five strangers. As I recall, one man nodded, another glared an grily, two women ignored me and a third pursed her lips, raised her umbrella dangerously and looked around for a policeman. I beat a hasty retreat back to the newsroom. Five years later, Bruce decided I should try again. Maybe the city had gotten a little friendlier, he rea soned. It has. Not a lot, just a little, hut friendlier nevertheless. “Huh? Uh, hi there,” a middle- aged man in a tweed coat said.^ He squinted, puzzled. Where met me before?

In quick succession: —Two beautiful women ignoii my “hellos’ with utter, crushing! difference, not so much as gland my way or breaking their stride looked like my ego would be taki quite a heating. —A street vendor raised his bai — barely — in a bored gesture recognition. —A handsome young man in tweed jacket wilted me withasnf of infinite contempt. —Two men nodded curtly. Now I had two “hellos” left-tl alloted number has doubled fro:| five in 1973 to 10 this year—a turned again to the opposite sex “Hello, I said to an elderlyM in a black dress, black hat an umbrella.
