THE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL, LEESBURG, GEORGIA
WHAT ABOUT !
YOUR RECORD?
IS IT WRITTEN THERE? SMILEI
AT DEATH. ]
Under the dome of the Capitol, pro
tected by walls of solid masonry and
guarded by a steel door, are the rec
ords of more than 170,009 citizens of |
Georgia, In this vault, side by side,
with the birth records, are death rec:
ords of more than 90,000 individuals,
who died since the Bureau of Vital
Statistics was organized in 1919, and
many are the tragedies to be found
in these records, while a few comedies
are also recorded there.
Many records are not complete. The
record of the little family, on the way
to an adjplning state, whom fate leads
to a hotel, which was destroyed by
fire cannot be completed for none
were left to furnish the necessary in
formation, The death record of the
recluse of a noble family, known only
as John in the community, caused much
trouble or no one knew his parentage
or birthplace and his relatives were
put to much expense in completing the
record,
Little was known of Bukumba Ka
lamba Wakanauga, but the record of
Tiney Bugg was complete. She was
near one hundred years of age and
had resided in Georgia all her life.
Many peculiar names appear on.
the records. Combinations which oc
cur by accident when looked at care
fully, although the record is one of a
death, causes a smile, There was one
whose name was Polly Pod, another
Ivory Hooks, another Rosie Posie.
With very common names the colors
or fruits were mixed. There were
Pink Brown, Green Yates, Green
Berry, Henseta Blue, Little Bit White
and Loved Cherry., Other combina
tions appear on the records as Cry
stal Music, Early Guest, Noble Shav
er, Morning Mayes and among the sur
names are to be found Eyestone, Bean
row, Colddough, Pickles, Eeasterbug,
Hogtimihon and Handalong.
The ultimate aim and final purpose
of all public health work is the limita
tion of preventable diseases. Com
plete death records are mnecessary to
the checking of such work, for with
out such records properly tabulated,
it is impossible to tell whether the
number of such deaths are on the de
cline or the increase and likewise
whether the appropriation for such;
work has been judiciously expended
or not. |
In the enforcement of the Compul-'
sory School Attendance Act and the
Child’s Labor Law, the officials will
find the birth records an unerring
basis for its administration. It is be
lieved that by such records the
scholastic census may be purged of
thousands of names of those who are
not within the scholastic age to the
detriment of those children who are
justly entitled to participate in the
division of the school funds. The
legitimacy, the age and the parentage
of each child so recorded is establish
ed and many questions as to its right
may, in the future, be settled by
gimple reference to the birth record.
The Federal Government, in the issw
ance of passports, is now demanding
the establishment of citizenship,
which can be most easily done by a
certified Lirth certificate and in the
scttlement of the Veterans’ claims
for additional compensation a birth
record is required in such cases.
The solution of many social prob
lems now confronting the State may
be found in these records. The lim
itation of the family to one or two
children among the better class with
an average of six children among the
uuneducated negro race means that
tht State must double her educational
fund or that the voter will, in the next
generation, be more easily controlled
by unscrupulous ‘ politicians, With
the emigration of the mnegro to the
northern states, the foreign born ele
ment becomes a problem and a close
and accurate record of such must bt
kept in order to protect the native
born citizen. Rather than relax the
records of such immigrants as to
name, age, birthplace or parentage,
it would be better to take the finger
prints of each child born of foreign
parentage in Georgia so that the race
of anarchists and bolshevists might be
identified regardless of such changes
they might make,
In the past the importance of keep
ing the birth record of a child has
been compared by unthinking people
with the keeping of the pedigree of
standard bred hogs and dogs, the com
parison is not fair, especially when
applied to a human being, for none
are to be compared in any way with
‘hogs and dogs. With the modern
legislation to protect, develop and edu
‘cate the child at the expense of the
tax payer, the tax payer hass the right
ito demand a complete record of all
children, so that he may not be im
fposed on by unscrupulous parents,
The State has the right to a complete
!record of all citizens since it places
certain age qualifications as to the
I enforcement of its laws. And certain
1y the child is entitled to a complete
{and perpetual record of its birth for
in the absence of its parents many
iessential facts as to its existence can
' not be established in any other way
:than by an authenticated birth record.
Diphtheria is greatly on the increase.
