Photograph caption dated February 16, 1957 reads, "Very young Ronald Jay Freedman of 7027 Matilija St., Van Nuys, may be America's 170,000,000th citizen. It's obvious he's also number one in eyes of his proud mother, Mrs. Leonard Freedman, as she shows him off at St. Joseph Hospital, Burbank. Ronald was born as huge Department of Commerce electric sign in Washington ticked off record population figure. Machine records birth every eight seconds and death every 21 seconds."
