Oregon had more than 600 fires, charring at least 31,000 acres. The biggest single fire, in the cen tral Idaho mountains, was a 32-day- old, 15,000-acre blaze being allowed to burn in extremely rugged terrain inside a wilderness area.

I U.S. life expectancies juizzed Sh at, grinn agreement. § Just turr tion’s you: Coach, and post Satun ranked Ti{ open their : |S~ on Kyle U -game wi set record high in ’86 as fertility rate drops WASHINGTON (AP) — The na tion’s fertility rate fell to a record low last year, while life expectancy reached a record high and marriage and divorce rates dipped to the low est levels in a decade, the govern ment reported Wednesday. Average life expectancy “in 1986 reached a new record high of 74.9 years,” the Center for Health Statis tics, an arm of the Department of Health and Human Services said. That was up from 74.7 years re ported in 1985. The highest life expectancy was 78.9 years for white females, up from 78.7 a year earlier. White males saw an increase from 71.8 to 72.0 years. Black life expectancy rose from 65.3 to 65.5 years for men, but de clined from 73.7 to 73.6 years for women, the center’s annual sum mary of vital statistics reported. Births totaled 3,731,000, down 18,000 from 1985. That represented 64.9 live births per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44, 2 percent below last year and the low est rate ever recorded in the United States, the report said. The drop reflects the trend of re cent years, as many young people have postponed marriage and fami lies to pursue education and careers. Social scientists have debated in recent years whether this represents merely a delay in having children or a decision not to have families. Only time will disclose the answer as the children of the post-World War II Baby Boom pass through their prime childbearing years. Trends in the number of annual births are affected by two factors, the rate of births among women and the number of women in the child bearing ages. The number of women aged 15 to 44 increased 1 percent between 1985 and 1986, but the bulk of that was among women aged 30 and over, where birth rates tend to be lower. The number of women aged 15 to 29 declined by 1 percent. The Census Bureau has projected that the total number of women in the prime childbearing ages will re main substantially the same through the remainder of this decade. But their age structure is expected to shift more toward the older seg ment of that group, as the smaller group of women born in the late 1960s and early 1970s matures. Thus, unless declines in total births are to begin occurring, birth rates will have to rise among these women. after World War II, when 16.4t riages per 1,000 people were corded in 1946. T he bottom *£ the Depression year of 1932 atk There were 1,159,000 divot last year, down from 1,187,0001 1985. That’s a drop from 5.0| vorces per 1,000 people to 4.8'j year. This was the lowest divorcee since 1975, when it was also 4.8, California slips collider bid just in at wire WASHINGTON (AP) - Cab nia’s proposal to host the fedr government’s prized “super fider” project arrived at the Enf Department with just eight min* to spare Wednesday after a lf| lative dispute threatened to set' the submission. The state’s proposal arrived af confusion over whether an ei r > California submission was valid* whether anything submitted bj : state would count. In the end,# officials said the California Iffl lature’s failure to approve an a/ dated bond issue dian’t matter-d now. Also, New York officials revea* that they had offered four sites/ ’ three as they announced on T* day. The fourth site would straddlej! U.S.-Canadian border, a local® ruled out by the department's' quirement that the site be entire!' the United States. New YorkofW said they submitted it anyway or half of the Canadian province Quebec, which prepared it. Turning to marriages, the center reported 2,400,000 in 1986, down about 25,000 from 1985. That’s a national marriage rate of 10.0 per 1,000 people, down from 10.2 a year earlier and the lowest rate since 1977, when it was 9.9. Gov. Mario Cuomo has writ® Energy Secretary John Herrint to encourage “possible reconskk tion of the criteria.” But depart!# spokesman Phil Keif said, “Tb still in the criteria. It has tobe ! tirely in the United States.” The department had earlier r^ '■ out partially foreign sites as unfa® states not having a potential forb ' partner adjacent to them. In addition to California, 'J other states — North Carol® Idaho, Michigan and Alaska turned in their proposals Wed# day, bringing to 25 the numbef states competing to land the $4.4 lion research installation and 3,000 non-pollutingjobs.
