each in four towns and one each ir

pointee to rport to the state Board
of Health at Raleigh the number of
births and deaths. The registrar for
Pittsboro and Center township is Mrs.
R. H. Haves. She has been trying
ior somtime to get the registrars
of the county to make out an extra
report and send it to her as she wants
: to publish it and show the outside
' world what a healthy county Chatham
is. It would be very little trouble if
each registrar would file out and mail
her the extra report, and she will
thank them if they will do so.
