STATE HEALTH DEPT.
PLANS CHECK-UP ON
BIRHS AND DEATHS
fkkkk

In an effort to check on failures
to report births and deaths, the Di-
vision of Vital Statistics of the State
Health Department. has secured the
services of two field agents, John c.
Condry and l.. A. Casio, one of whom
visited Mcdowell County during the
week of July 90, announced the direc
tor of Vital Statistics, DR.. Franklin
III. Rcpdcr. Although complete regis
tration of births and deaths has al
ways been of great Importance, said
Or. Reeder, even greater emphasis is
placed on it with the enactment of
the Social Security Act which re-
quircs applicants to have birth certi-
ficatcs before they are eligible for
old age pensions.
BY hecking the records of infant
deaths at the State Health Depart
ment and by other means, certain
births have been found reported on
ly on death certificates, no birth GER
tificatc having been filed with the
director of Vital Statistics. The law
regarding birth registration requires
that all births, regardless of whether
the baby is still-born or not. shall be
registered with the Division of Vital
Statistics. IRE field agents will be-
gin their work by cndeavoring to OBJ
tain these omitted birth certificates as
we'll as In find ont who was RESPONSE
bic for the failure to register them
at the proper time. Negligence in re-
porting deaths pomptly will also be
investigated by the agents.
The value and need for vital stats
tic records have already been recog
niZcd though it was not until 1921
that an adequate law was passed Ivy
the legislature and provision mad"
for the collecting, filing and record
ing of births, deaths and marriage

OF their births in order to prove the
fact Of their births. Frequently this
is impossible, especially if the person
is Older, and fortunes have been lost
because of the inability of the person
to establish the fact of his birth.
The law provides n penalty for any

give them as well as the physicians
and funeral directors whatever advice

uine and cooperative pan-American-
ism should become possible. Jeffer-
son declared that the island Of Cuba
should be the absolute limit OF SOUTH
ern expansion Of the United States.
Monroe wrote: "The political system
Of the allied powers is essentially dif-
ferent from that of America. We owe
1t, therefore, to candor to declare
that we should consider any attempt
on their part to extend their system
to any portion of this hemisphere is
dangerous to our peace and safety"
The great democratic political
ideal shared by Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe and others with Thomas
Paine-its most eloquent propagandist
conceived a vast plan for the Amer
ican system. 1t contemplated the
possibility of q continental federation
of autonomous and successfully fed
Grated States, bound together by COM
mon interests and political ideals-if
not by a common language-with in
terstate commerce unshackled by tariff
restriction, with slavery abolished, or
dying out, and with war extirpated
by the uses of arbitration, freedom Of
thought, of speech and of transit, and
the elimination Of all expensive and
oppressive military establishments.
In short, vast pan-American Gus
toms-union of federated American
republics, dedicated to the develop
ment of the arts of peace in democ-
racy and economic freedom, protected
from abuse by equitable laws, en-
forced without fear or favor.
The enlightened spirit Of the age
of the American revolutions could
see no obstacle to human progress
more insurmountable than physical
distance and the temporary igno-
rance and selfishness of men and
groups too long under servitudes to
ancient custom and autocratic insti-
tutions. Such was the dream Of the
American System by the founding
fathers" of the United States; and
such is the noble promise and pedi-
gree of Pan-Americanism, upon the
threshold of which we now stand,
tempered by European experience and
military Establishments.
