That program is now operating
in many states - and with the Na­
tion at war, brewing industry or­
ganisations cooperate with civil
and military authorities to assure
stations.

Somehow, to me, that’s a mighty
important, public-spirited effort.
I don’t know of anything like it
ever having been tried before. If
people really help the brewers
with tliat program they’ll be doing
a great thing for the country.
“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.
