If you are planning a trip outside of the
United States this summer, there is a
very important matter to attend to before
you buy your ticket and pack your bag.
That most important matter is getting
a birth certificate. A birth certificate is
required to get a passport and getting
both takes time. Persons needing these
documents should begin the process at
trip to avoid disappointment.
Travelers to Canada, Mexico and the
Carribean don’t need passports but,
according to Charles Hardester, director
of the Division of Vital Records in the
state Health Department, they definitely
do need a birth certificate to prove
citizenship.

position in sales to fulfill his lifetime
dream of owning his own business so he
initiated his new hardware business at 42-
44 Main St., Dallas. At the time, no one
knew what the future would be although
since then interest has decreased from 20
to 12 percent.
Eason became affiliated with Pro
Hardware, Inc., international franchise
which provides goods and services to
more than 3,500 independently owned
hardware stores in the United States. At
the time Eason opened his business, his
wife, Carol, owned and operated a beauty
salon above the store. Since that time,
the Eason’s have made many changes in
their business including increased inven-
tory, expansion inside and outside, and
moving Carol’s beauty shop to street
level, adjacent to the store.
In the near future, Jim and Carol plan
