Securing Delayed
Birth Certificates
RALEIGH, N. C Dr. Carl V.
Reynolds, State health officer, has
issued a statement designed to
clarify the necessary requirements
for securing delayed birth certifi
cates, and the procedure that must
be followed in order to secure cer
tified copies of birth records al
ready on file at tihe State Board
of Health.
Dr. Reynolds' statement follows:
"In view of criticisms that have
reached the State Board of Health
from some applicants for delayed,
birth certificates who have exper
ienced: delays which they termed
unreasonable, I take this oppor
tunity to say that, upon personal
investigation, I have found that
the fault in practically every such
case rested with the applicant and
not im this Department.
Delayed Birth Certificates
"The term 'delayed birth certi
ficate' is applied to cases where
the person was born before Oc
tober 1, 1913, or those who, al
though they were born since that
time, have failed to have their
births recorded.
"Under the provisions fo the
Vital Statistics Act as amended
by the 1941 Legislature, applica
tions for delayed birth certificates
should be sent, in each instance,
to the Register of Deeds of the
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our deep
appreciation to our friends and
neighbors for their help, kindness
and sympathy extended to us in
the illness and death of our dear
wife and mother. Especially do
we wisli to thank the Eastern Star
Chapter, the L. E. L. Class and
W. M. U. of the Franklin Baptist
Church for their beautiful floral
offerings, and all others.

county in which the birth occur
red, and not to the State Board
of Health. When such applica
tions are sent to the wrong place,
as thousands have beern this en
tails additional correspondence and
consequent delay, which results in
unjust criticism.
"In order to secure a delayed
birth certificate, you must send
your application together with
fiftv cents, to the Register of
Deeds of the county in which you
were born. He will then send you
a notice advising you what inform
atian it is necessary for you to
furnish, and when you have furn
ished this information, he will ex
etute a certificate and record it
Now, if you desire a certified copy
for personal use and will send hin
the fee prescribed by him, the
Register of Deeds will provide you
with said certified copy, or you
can secure it from the State Board
of Health in Raleigh for fifty-
cents, which must be enclosed with
your request.
Subsequent Births
"If you were born, since October
1, 1913, and your birth was prop
erly registered, communicate di
rectly with the State Board of
Health in Raleigh, enclosing a fee
of fifty cents, and you will re
ceive a certified copy of yoUr birth
certificate.
"It is important, at the outset
that you get it clearly tixed in
your mind whether or not you
want a- delayed birth certificate
and a certified copy of this, or a
certified copy of your birth cer
tificate that is now recorded with
the Bureau of Vital Statistics in
the State Board of Health.

to settle definitely, if you want a

1913? Secondly, if you were born
since that time, was your birth
properly recorded with the State
Board of Health? If it was not,
then' you must follow the proced
ure necessary to secure a delayed
birth certificate, just as though
you were born prior to the date
mentioned.
Things To Remember
"Remember, if you desire a de
layed birth certificate, go through
your Register of Deeds. If you
desire a certified copy of a cer
tificate already registered, commu
nicate directly with the Bureau of
Vital Statistics of the State Board
of Health in Raleigh. In doing the
latter, be sure to enclose a fee of
fifty cents and state in your ap
plication the exact place and date
of your birth and the names of
your parents. This wjdl prevent de
lay occasioned by unnecessary cor
respondence. "In order to meet the demands
that are being made upon it at
this time, the State Board of
Health employes 23 full-time clerks
to perform this service to the
public.
Birth Certificates Necessary
"It is necessary that you pro
vide yourself with a certified copy
of your birth registration if you
are to enlist with the armed forces,
or retain or secure employment
with firms filling defense orders.
However, as a reassurance to you,
it can be stated that you need not
become alarmed if at first you
find it difficult to procure the
proper information necessary for
securing birth certificate, or if the
rush of applications should cause
you a few days' delay.
"For your information and re
assurance, the following is a quo
tation from a memorandum sent
to Army and Navy -ontractors and
sub-contractors by the War De
partment: i'
"Tn the evenit that the State
in which the employee or applicant
for employment claims birth is one
in which the procedure outlined
in the attached manual has been
adopted, . the employer should re
quire the employee or applicant
to obtain, a delayed certificate of
birth from .sui State within a
reasonable time after the request
for data on citizenship has been
made by the employer. Pending
receipt of such certificate, it is reel
ommended that the employer give
temporary employment to .such ap
plicant and retain the services of
such employee.'
"It is hoped that the informa
tion outlined in this statement be
given careful consideration by every
applicant or prospective applicant
for a birth certificate, and that
each make proper determination as
to the class in which he belongs.
This done, matters will be great
ly simplified; delays will be elimi
nated, and each applicant will find
himself relieved of much unnec
essary anxiety.
"It is suggested that those in
terested preserve this artice for
future reference. Clip it and pass
it on to others after you have
familiarized yourself with the pro
cedures outlined."
War Department Gives
Tire Advice ;'
Tires that must remain outdoors
should be coated with a synthetic
rubber paint as a protective cover
ing. A cover or wrapping of heavy
canvas, or a .similar material, may
be used for 'the same purpose.
Rubber is rotted, to varying de
grees, by light, heat, air ire motion,
oils, dust and dirt. Stored' tires
will last longer if protected against
these agents. The new Army man
ual 'tells what to do under these
circumstances.
New or dismounted tires, can be
protected against light, air and
dirt by covering them with a tar
paulin or other heavy, tightly
woven fabric. The darker the
storage place the better. Seventy
or eighty degrees should be the
maximum storage temperature.
Tubes not in casings should be
deflated and ifolded, then covered
to protect them from air, moisture,
grease and other destructive agents.
