DUPLIN REPORTS ON BIRTHS Rallegh, Mar. 6th North Caro lina parents are classed as "fair" in their responses to the appeal of the Bureau of the Census, the State Board of Health and the State ERA for a complete regis tration of babies born in the State during the past year. Dr. John H. Hamilton, director of the Division of Vital Statistics, is informed. North Carolinians had reported approximately one-third of the number of births recorded for 1933 on the little cards sent out from Washington up to the end of last week. Recorded births In 1933 reached 75,422 in 1933 and already in 1934 the number has" reached 79,350, by which Dr. Hamilton es timates that complete .recording will show a tleast 80,000 births last year. Duplin County parents have re ported in the present "Register Your Baby" campaign the births of 417 children during the past year, or 45.3 per cent of the 920 actually recorded births for the year 1933, ip to last week, as com pared with about 33 per cent for the State, Dr. Hamilton said. Thlg Indicates that fully 50,000 parents in North Carolina have had children born to them during the past year who have not filled In the buff-colored cards distri buted by the Postofflce Depart ment to them from the postofflce ; from which they receive mail, said Dr. Hamilton. The children who j have thus been slighted may have ocCMlon many Ume8 m the future I to condemn the parental neglect tne vital statistics man said. The campaign is about to end, but there is yet time for parents 10 secure these cards frpm the nearest postofflce, the State Board of Health Or from the field or case wrokers for the relief organisa tion, if they have misplaced those .' received earlier' and 'get them to Washington In time to be counted and checked at the State Board of Health.
