CHUnCH iOLNI Children Should Be Registered In this complex and restless epoch, legal proof of citizenshir and age becomes increasinelv necessary. Todav a birth certifi cate may be of first importance in securing a job, inheriting prooerty settling insurance claims, entering school, securing old age pensions, entering Civil Service, and even marrying. Every parent owes it to ;he future of his or her children to see to it that they are properly registered with the State. Yet, many births every year in South Carolina go unrecorded. This condition should be remedied. We leartily endorse the birth regis tration campaign now being car ried on by the State Board of Health in cooperation with our county health department and local registrars of vital statistics. T.
