SECURES ESTATE
BY CERTIFICATE
PAUL IT. JEANRENAUD QUALITIES
FOR PROPERTY LEFT HIM
IN SWITZERLAND.
RIG MOND. VA-Special -

R c II NJ o N ID, VA.-Special-
Paul II. Jeanrenaud, of Newport
News. is probably the most ardent
champion in Virginia of the new vital
statistics law, for the very good rea-
son that the enactment OF this statute
has saved for him and his family an
estate in Switzerland which otherwise
they would have lost.
Indeed, judging from his CORE
spondence with the State Board of
Health, Mr.. Jeanrenaud seems TO
think that the General Assembly of
Virginia enacted this law TO save him
from loss at the very time he most
needed legal assistance.
A naturaliZed American citizen and
prosperous business man, Mr.. Jean
renaud received notice during tho
spring that his grandfather had died
| in switzerland and had left TO him
and his brothers and sisters a consid-
cradle estate. All that he had to do
was to prove his relationship to the
dead man. For himself and his broth
ers who had been born in Switzerland
this was easy, as their births were duly
| recorded in the canton register. But
Mr.. Leanrenaud had young sister
| born in America, whose birth, in the
absence Of any law had not been
| legally recorded. Unfortunately. too.
the girls mother was dead and the
physician who had been present at
the child's birth had also died.
! This seemed TO remove the last hone
| OF getting the estate. for innumerable
legal difficulties would arise where
the title Of all the heirs could not be
established. Just at the time MI
Jeanrenaud was giving up hope he
saw that the new vital statistics law
had been passed, and that IL was pos
sible to record the birth Of anyone.
born before the enactment Of the law
provided legal proofs OF birth could
be produced.
Quick to see the possibility thus af-
forded him, Mr.. Jeanrenaud at once
began search for the nurse who had
attended his mother at the birth OF his
sister The nurse. as it happened,
had moved from Virginia and her
whereabouts were not known Mr.
Jeanrenaud began a nationwide
search and finally. when he was
despairing of success. heard that the
nurse was practicing her profession in
Florida. He located her at last and
had her file with the State Board o.
Health legal statement OF the birth
OF his sister. This was found to be in
proper form and was accepted by the.
State.
As if by magic. Mr.. Jeanrenaud's.
difficulties were obviated and his
claim was established. lie had Onlv
to procure legal copy Of the GER
tihcate of birth and forward it to the.
proper Swiss authorities. He expects.
in the course of a few days, to receive,
the full amount Of the estate, and. in
the meantime, blesses the General
Assembly of Virginia while wondering
why the enactment of such a neces-
sary law was so long delayed.

1t is a. significant fact that Tur-
key did not include Greece in the
hostile declaration, especially i'm
view OF the fact that fighting be-
tween Greek and Turkish soldiers
on the Macedonian frontier has
been in progress for over n week.
The omission of Greece has led
TO the belief here that the Greek
Government has intimated its
Willingness to withdraw from the
Balkan league.

last chance to carve a home in the

her present status 10 men who had
very little. if any farming experience.
She has been built up by men who
had made successes in other lines.
who had some money to invest in a
land where nature was kind and who
were lured by the fascination of pro-
ducing fruits and vegetables in a

DO IT NOW.

We like this idea OF doing things
in one day doing them right now
M better motto to insure accom-
,,,;chment was ever devised than the
simple one DO it now and It Is
inst as good for community as Tor
an individual. Take the instance OF
the erection OF church by the citi-
yens of Lakeland recently. II the
1roject had been gone at in a hall
hearted way, it doubtless would have
dragged along for some time-per-
haps for a considerable time. But
when the proposition to erect the
structure in day was advanced,
everybody took hold OF the enter
prise with vim and vigor. because
mople will naturally work with far
more interest when they can see re-
suits Immediately ahead.
II. &. Stanford, president OF the
kissimmec Board OF Trade, likes thc
DO 1t Now plan, and advances prop
osition to apply il to the work OF
road building. He declares that with
the aid of volunteers and vollln-
tcers for such project doubtless can
be sccurcd-thc road running
through OsceOla from Orange to POLK
AN be nut in iirst-class condition in
single day. He grew enthusiastic
in contemplation of his plan, and
added that Il road from Tallahassee
to Tampa, by way Of Jacksonville,
could be built in a day. And 1t can.
All that is needed is little Organi-
cation. The people already have the
enthusiasm. They appreciate the
value of a good road Many OF them
would vote for bonds to secure bet
ter highways. But. instead of wait
ing till bond issue can drag its
slow way to point where funds are
available, and then waiting the
awarding of contracts and innum-
cradle other delays, why not build
a road during the time it would take
to vote on bonds?
AS Mr.. Stanford says, the idea is
rot new or untried. 1t has been
carried out in other parts of the
country II can be done here. We
trust our Osceola county friends will
set an example OF the DO 1t Now
plan of road building. and that il
will prove such a success that it will
stir the emulation of road builders
in Polk and every other county of
the State.
