Dr. Reynolds’ statement fol. tows: In view of criticisms that have ■cached the s*ate board of health from some applicants for delayed Wrth certificates who have expe- slenced delays which they termed unreasonable, 1 take this oppor tunity to say that, upon personal tovestigation 1 have found that the fault in practically every such ease rested with the applicant and not with the department. Delayed Birth Certificates “The term ‘delayed birth cer- Ifficate’ is applied to cases where the person was born before Oc tober 1, 1913, or thoi-ie who. al though they were born since that ilme, have failed to have their Urths recorded. “Under provisions of the Vital Itatlstics i^ct a-s amended by 'he 1911 le.gislatare. applications for delayed birth certificates should be sent, in each instance, to the register of deed-^ of the county in which the birth occurred, and eot to the State Board of Health. When such application.s are sent to the wrong place, as thousands have been, thi.s entails additional correspondence and consequent delay, which results in unjust erlticii-m. "In order to secure a delayed birth certificate, you must send your application, together with fifty cents to the register of deeds of the eounty in which yon were born. He will then send you » notice advising you what in- tormatfon' it is necessary for you at Jefferson. The commissioners were una nimous in expressing their re grets over the resignation of Mr. Colvard as register of deeds and accountant and in the selection ot Mr. Neal to fill the place. The change will become effective this week.

Scrap metal, like most com modities is graded and classified Some grades are worth more than others. Farm scrap general ly falls into a group known as No. 2 heavy melting s'eel scrap. A price ceiling of 77c per 100 pounds, delivered at .Atlanta, Ga. and varying prices for delivery at other points has been fixed by OPM. From this price the cost of preparing (that is sorting, cutting and handling) and ship ping must be deducted. In N. C. farmers sluzuld receive 40c to 5.5c per 100 lbs. for farm scrap not including sheet metal. 6. Scrap metal dealers are li censed by the stale and are lo cated in about half of the coun ties. There arc also persons who buy junk in most towns and so- caRed peddlers who go froTO farm to farm. As these last have no means of weighing the metal It is recommended that whenever pcosfhle farmers deliver their scrap metal to the yard of a H- censeii dealer.
