A MAJOR LOSE Hie ha

Number of single fathers rises

Single mothers have been recog-
nized as a growing phenomenon in our
chaotic times. However, according to
the Census Bureau, the number of sin-
gle dads has grown by 82 percent since
1980, though they still make up just
1.5 percent of all households. Compare
this with single moms — they make up
about eight percent of all households in
the United States.

Of more than passing interest is the

fact that almost 20 percent of today’s
married couples with children have at
least one step child under the age of 18

‘living with them. This is a result of
high rates of divorce and remarziage.
Father's Day is June !4 this year. If
you know a single dad, let him know
you appreciate what he has done.
Father's Day could well be even more
important to him than to the other 80
million American dads,
