PARENTS URGED TO LIST BABIES Register-Your-Baby Drive Gets Slow Response In Macon RALEIGH, Feb. 20-Macon coun ty parents are starting their re ports to Washington of the births of children born in the county during the oast 12 months. Cards mailed during the first two weeks! of the "Register Your Baby cam paign show that 43 children have been properly registered. This is compared with 374 chil dren which were recorded as hav ing been born in this county dur ing the year 1933, as shown in the files of the Bureau of Vital Sta tistics of the State Board of Health in Raleigh. Parents are urged by Dr. John H. Hamilton, director of the Bureau, to send in these cards as early as possible. North Carolina had 75,238 births properly recorded in 1933, and in complete figures show that? 79,350 births had been recorded for 1934, by which Dr. Hamilton estimates that enough more will be added to make the number of births in the State last year, 80,000, or more. With almost a 5,000 increase in births in 1934 over those in 1933, as shown by the records, it is be lieved that North Carolina has the chance of again taking er place at the head of the list in birth rate, a position held for many years, but from which she was dislodged last year by New Mexico, and tied with Utah for second place. Complete' recording of births is being urged in the State by the U. S. Bureau of the Census, the State Board of Health and the State Emergency Relief Administration. Hoar Tax not New. Old Tax Receipt Shows The agricultural experts at Washington might have prided themselves on a new discovery when they hit upon the idea of a hog tax in - evolving the corn-hog reduction plan. But the fact is a slaughtered hog tax was levied many years ago by the Confeder ate States, though for a different purpose, that of raising revenue in stead of reducing production. Lee Leach, Franklin hardware merchant, has in his possession a receipt is sued on Sept. 29, 1864, to his late father-in-law, Hugh Rogers, who lived near CulloWhee, for "270 and no cents, Confederate tax on slaughtered hogs for 1863." CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our appre ciation to our friends and neizhi bors for their manv kindnesses shown us during the illness, and death of our dear mother and grandmother.
