officer for Walker county. has made
his report for the month of October,
which shows that the birth rate In
Walker county for that month was
80 per thousand or ten per cent above
the average for the registration area

in the county for october was SO per
thousand compared with the average
inthe registration area of the United
States of IA per cent.
The appalling feature of Walkers
death report, DR.. Waldrop SAYS. is
that of the 40 deaths in this county
in October, IA was preventable.
Walker was the first county in
Alabama to employ full time county
