'ow Is the Time for All Good Girls .
That's what YOU think! Better read up on the male-female situation as statistics go, and if you want to get your man, O Sister, you better get goin'!

THE war's over. Our boys arq coming home.
And so you pretty young things are having dreams of hitting the matrimony jackpot the minute GI Joe comes marching home?
Gone, you say, are the days of dateless Tuesdays, lonesome Satur' day nights, and endless Sundays. Gone are the days of going out with 4'F Homer, whom you tolerated only because of the man shortage. Now is the time for all good girls to land a husband.
That's what you think!
Ever hear of the law of simple arithmetic? Well, that's what you single girls will be bucking from here on in. Population experts in this country are worried. Since 1930, when there were a million more men than women, the masculine edge rapidly disappeared until now there are more than 300,000 women in excess of men. This includes servicemen.
Oh, well, you say, what's 300,000 surplus females in a country this big? That shouldn't be so alarming, should it? Here are two answers to those questions :
First: Today there are something like 4 million young girls, age 20 to 34, in this country eligible for the altar. In the same age group, there are only 1,700,000 young men (including servicemen) who are unmarried. Simple subtraction gives us 2,300,000 girls whose chances of getting married are as gloomy as the proverbial snowball's prospects in Hitler's Hangout. (At least we hope that's where he's hanging.)
Second: There are the inevitable psychological repercussions. Tradition tells how hard it was to influence a man into marching through the rice-and-old-shoes routine, even back in the manflush days. Now the boys are going to sense their advantage. Girls who once depended on the proper application of Max Factor products will have to bring a bigger bat to the plate with them now. And foreign girls have given GI Joe a heap of attention and honest adoration. A lot of dogfaces are going to be kind of choosy.
Detailed studies by a major insurance company uncovered the fact that 6 to 8 million American women are doomed to spinsterhood.
