Statistics
book now
available
In this age of bureaucratic docu-
mentation, everyone has need of
copies of records of birth, death,
marriage, or divorce. An applica-
tion for benefits from the Veterans
Administration or Social Security or
for a passport or marriage license
must have the information con-
tained in these records and some-
times copies of the records them-
selves.
For that reason CERC is publish-
ing a book entitled GUIDE TO
LOCATING VITAL STATISTICS.
This book contains a state-by-state
listing of the addresses and tele-
phone numbers of where, each
