“Filed by Special Request." It is be
lieved that this revision in proced
ure will be a real service to every
applicant wishing his birth recorded
with the State of Oregon who is un
able to accumulate supporting evi
dence required by regulation.
“According to the board,” Governor
Sprague said, “a delayed birth certi
ficate is no better than the evidence
which supports it.” Therefore, every
prospective registrant should make
every effort to furnish such indis
putable records in support of his ap
plication that his completed certifi
cate will be acceptable wherever he
may present it as proof of his birth.
