The Senator is an enthusiast on this

troduced by request a bill recurring
the registration of deaths in the Sta4e

Vital Statistics. The State Board OF
Health strongly supports 1t as we'll as
the Medical Society OF Virginia. The
bill provides that the State be divided

In each case be issued by the physI-
clan and filed with the local registrar

drawn after consultation with Major

Virginia is one of the few States which

urged vigorously.
