Ga. Residents May Obtain Proof
Os Their Age from Census Bureau
Last year, more than 16,000
residents of Georgia turned to
the Bureau of the Census, U. S.
Department of Commerce, for
help in proving where and
when they were born, the
Bureau reported today. They
needed proof of age to collect
social security and other re
tirement benefits. They need
ed it to obtain passports. They
needed it to qualify for jobs
carrying certain age or citi
zenship requirements. They
needed it for some forms of
insurance.
These persons who requested
assistance from the Census
Bureau last year were among
an estimated 20 million United
States residents who are with
out proof of age or birthplace.
The historical records of the
Census Bureau provide the on
ly acceptable source of this in
formation for many of these
people. Since 350 million per
sons, many of them listed
several times in separate cen
suses. The Bureau has provided
copies of these records to about
three and one-half million
people, as legal proof of age,
place of birth, citizenship, or
kinship.
Persons seeking such a re
cord for social security pur
poses should go to the local
Social Security Office, or, for
other purposes, write to the
Personal Census Service
Branch, Bureau of the Census,
Pittsburg, Kansas, for an ap
plication form. A fee of $3.00
is charged for a search of not
more than two censuses for one
person and for one copy of the
information found. Addition
al copies cost SI.OO each. An
expedited search costs $4.00.
Expedited searches are usual
ly completed within a few
days while the routine $3.00
earch may take up to 30 days,
depending upon the backlog of
requests.
The personal information in
the records of the 1900 and
later Censuses is confidential
by law and may be furnished
only upon the written request
of the person to whom it re
lates or, for a proper purpose,
a legal representative such as
a guardian or administrator of
an estate. Information regard-

I ed as cutting wood, he says. Sim
ply cut the long stems into six
' inch sections for cuttings. If the
tip growth is too soft, discard this
' portion.
The cutting needs as many lea
ves as possible in order to carry
on photosynthesis. Therefore.
, leave all leaves on the top half
of the cutting. Strip all leaves
from the lower half. This can be
done with your hand since t h e
use of a knife is too time-consum
ing.
I If the propagation structure is
• shallow, the cuttings should be
’ placed at an angle in the media so
that the lower half of the cuttings
is in the media.
’ | Cuttings require a constant sup
; s ply of water. However, if the root
ing media becomes waterlogged
1 for extended periods, the cuttings
• ! will fail to root. Air is necessary
' \ for the root formation of most
shrubs and, of course, too much
1 1 water will exclude air from the
I rooting media. Excessive water
I is usually due to poor drainage
1 from the propagation structure.
■ i If you would like more details
’: on plant propagation by rooting,
f let me know. With the help of
1 | County Agent Ed Hunt, I can get
! some helpful material on this
' subject.
Using Chemicals Safely
’ We are using more and more
pesticide chemicals in the home
’ and garden each year to control
' insects. These materials are avail
> able in spray cans, bottles and
packages. Like any other mod
! ern tools and materials, pesticid
- es should be handled with care.
1 The user should read and follow
directions and cautions on con
; tainer labels.
Most of the accidents originat
ing with the use of pesticides
; could be prevented if the prson
using the pesticides would follow
। some basic precautions:
Read the label and follow all in
structions, cautions and warnings.
Store pesticides where children,
pets, or irresponsible persons can’t
reach them. Never store the ma
terials near foods of any kind.
Keep pesticides in the original
containers. Always keep them
tightly closed and never pour
them into other containers such
as unlabeled jars or milk and
I pop bottles.
A person should not smoke
while using pesticides and avoid
inhaling spray mists or dusts.
Be sure to wear a suitable mask
or respirator if the label recom
mends it.
Use only the amount of pesti
cide called for on the label.
In case of direct contact with
pesticide chemicals, remove con
taminated clothing and bathe
thoroughly with soap and water.
Food Preservation
In processing foods in the home,
use only quality products.
Canning or freezing will not add
quality to any product. Don’t at
tempt to process too much food
at one time. Many products lose
their goodness by standing too
long before they are processed.
You will save precious time once
the processing begins by having
all supplies and equipment on
hand and organized.
August Food Plentiful*
The U. S. Department of Agri
culture has released its Plentiful
Foods list for August.
Foods on the list include can
ned tuna, summer vegetables,
watermelons, peanut butter and
cooking-salad oils.
This Week's Tin
A good way to get children to
eat vegetables may be to prepare
crisp finger foods such as celery
and carrot strips, tomato wedges
or cabbage curl-ups for between
meal snacks. Prepare only a few
at a time. It’s better for the child
to eat them all and want more
than disgust him with too much.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Multiple sclerosis is a chron
ic, disabling, progressive dis
ease for which prevention and
cure are unknown. It is esti
mated that 500,000 Americans
suffer from MS and related
diseases. Pathologically, MS
destroys patches of the soft,
fatty myelin sheath insulating
fibers of the central nervous
system. The myelin is replaced
by scar tissue. Nerve impulses
directing movement, vision,
hearing, speech and balance
may be distorted or even
blocked. MS characteristically
progresses in a series of un
predictable attacks, often lead
ing to total disability. It is
most prone to strike young
people in the prime of life.
The National Multiple Scle
rosis Society, founded in 1946.
now numbers 171 chapters,
and units. It conducts programs
of research, patient services
and community and profession
i al education.
