Best Answer

Before WW2 was the Great Depression and many people tried to keep the number of children low (fewer mouths to feed). Preparing for the war took the US out of the Depression and when the troops came home, there were many jobs and good pay. It seems there was some 'catching up' to do as far as new kids.
