FOUR DAYS. OLD
BABES RATE AS
GOOD CITIZENS
Date And Place OF Birth Very
Necessary To Establish Them
AS Citizens Of United States
VERY IMPORTANT ITEMS
NOTED BY DEPARTMENT

Babies in Maryland do not have
to wait until they are of voting age
to rate as important citizens. BY the
time they are four days old, their ar
rival is expected to be reported to the
State Department of Health and from
then on, their health interests are
safeguarded in every way possible by
the State, Baltimore City and the
Couty Health Departments.
Because the official record of the
arrival will mean so much, to the
baby throughout life, the informa-
ton that is sent to the Department
is very carefully checked back by the
Bureau that has charge of such mat
ters-the Bureau of Vital Statistics
to be sure all of the necessary facts
have been entered.
The most important items are
these: Date and place of birth; names
of the parents; name of the baby;
whether the youngster is boy or
girl; and whether white or colored.
AS soon as this information has been
entered on the books, copy of the
record is sent to the parents, to keep
for the baby.
This little slip of white paper is
one of the most valuable personal doc
uments the youngster will ever own.
Here are some of the things the birth
record will do:
When the youngster is ready to go
to school, it will show whether he or
she is of school age;
It will be accepted as proof of age
if it is necessary to take out work
papers; and when the youngster is
ready to vote;
It will be accepted by the Courts in
legal matters to establish the owners
identity; to establish the right to
property; or to other claims;
And one of the most important
things it will do, is to show that the
person about whom these things
were recorded, was born in the State
of Maryland, and is therefore a citi-
zen of the United States;
This explains why it is so necessary
for a baby's birth to be reported
promptly and accurately and shows
why the parents should take the
greatest possible care of the record.
Within the last six months over a
thousand people who have wanted to
prove that they were citizens of the
United States, have applied to the
Maryland State Department of Health
for aid in getting copies of records
that had been lost; or of having long
delayed records that had never been
filed, entered on the books, so that
they would be accepted by the courts.
Don't let your youngsters have any
experiences of that kind.

Source Of Qualification That
Maryland Officials Have Been
So Efficient And Just

Members of Selective Service Local
Boards and Appeal Boards, Appeals
Agents, Examining Physicians, and
all those connected with the admins
tration of the Selective Training and
Service Act throughout Maryland, are
lauded by Governor Herbert R.
O'Conor in a letter going out this
week.
81 am gratified to state," the Gov
ernor wrote, "that the successful ad-
ministration of the law in Maryland
has been attributable to the conscien-
tious and dutiful services for all those
who accepted our call as a patriotic
duty. Favoritism, political considera-
tions and improper practices have
been conspicuous by their absence.
81 was requested by President
Roosevelt to make recommendations
for appointments, and it is naturally
source of satisfaction that the ad-
ministration of the Act in Maryland,
has been pointed to as an example of
efficiency and justice. However, l
realize that this success could not
have been attained without your pub
lic-spirited assistance and l wish to
express to you my sincere thanks ~
You and your associates can long re-
member that you will have done a dis

States at time of grave emergency

Washington D. c., Oct. 3.-Con-
gresswoman Byron has paid off a
big slice of her political debt to
her original backer John McMullen
ambitious young Cumberland pub
Usher and chairman of the Savage
River Dam Commission. She's
done it handsomely, to the extent
of l 45O,23O WPA dollars.
This sum is being allocated to
complete the famous Savage River
earthen dam, originally sponsored
by Katherine's late husband.
The dam also has been given a
priority as certified national de-
fense project on the basis that it is
necessary to keep the factories in
Western Maryland operating.
Allotment of this new WPA
money certainly knocks down all
the blunt denials that NO more
money was necessary to finish the
project For months there have
been stories of inefficiency in op-
GRAFTON. These were blandly de-
MED by State WPA director Harry
D. Willar Even as late as six
months ago, Willar advised that no
more money would be needed to
complete the two-and-a-half million
dollar dam.
These financial difficulties, it
should be noted, are no fault of
McMullen's, who has been chair
man of the dam commission for al
most a year. The truth is that
when John was 'honored" with
the Craftsmanship he was handed a
hot potato and has done his best
to peel it. However. somebody is
very much at fault for the Savage
Dam slothfulness and some day the

TRAINING GLASSES
FOR YOUNG GIRLS
ARE STARTED HERE
Will Be Taught Sheet
Metal Work at Junior
High School

Approximately so young women
are being enrolled in the National
Defense Training School here, it
has been announced jointly by the
Maryland State Employment Serv-
ice and the Board of Education.
The training classes will be con-
Quoted at the South Potomac
Street Junior High School, under
expert supervisors.
The young women who qualify
in the physical examinations will
be given sufficient number of
hours training in sheet metal work
after which they will be eligible
for positions in local industries
working on National Defense Or
ders.
The training schedule as arrang-
ed calls for an eight hour day, FIVE
day week, and classes will start at
400 P NJ, and continue until Il
midnight. These classes are only
two of the many now in operation
here under the supervision of the
Board of Education, and to date
the Maryland State Employment
Service announces that there is no
dearth of applicants. Those wish
ing to enter the classes as they are
formed are requested to apply at
the office of the Employment Serv-
ice, As East Washington street.
Employers reports on the eff
cheney of the trainees are crafty
ing and since the Inauguration of
the training schools here about a
year ago, hundreds of young men
have been assigned to jobs through
the employment service. Only in
few instances have trainees
failed to prove satisfactory and
State officials are enthusiastic
over the results obtained through
the various vocational schools.
The Employment Service is con-
tinuing their registration of appli-
cants which would indicate that
additional classes of both men and
women will be conducted through
out the winter.
