(3d Twenty-Sixth Biennial Eeport The Bureau is making every effort to secure complete registration. These records are of value to the individual and as an index to the health of our citizens. To the individual a birth certificate will furnish proof, which will be accepted in every civilized nation on earth, of the place of birth, the time of birth, and parentage. The place of birth as recorded on the birth certificate may be used to establish citizenship or to establish residence. It is necessary in order to obtain a passport. The time of birth may be used to prove age, to obtain admission to school, to establish the right to work, to qualify for Civil Service examination, to hold public office, to establish the right to vote, to obtain a marriage license, to determine legal responsibility, or to prove qualification for or exemption from civic and military duty. Parentage, as stated in the birth certificate, is necessary to establish the right to inherit or bequeath property, to establish identity, to obtain settlement of insurance, to prove that parents have dependent children, to prove legitimacy or to furnish acceptable evidence of genealogy. Death certificates may be used by individuals to furnish evidence in court, to secure pensions or life insurance, to establish titles and right of inheritance, or to give homeseekers and immigrants a guidance in selecting safe and healthful homes. In organizations interested in health problems and procedures, birth and death records are used to determine the magnitude of health hazards, to plan new activities, to prevent epidemics, and to evaluate procedures. Since we use these records as a yard-stick for measuring our problems and progress it is essential that they be accurate. The total number of live births reported in 1934 was 79,556 as compared to 79,746 for 1935. This gives a birth rate of 24.1 per 1,000 population for 1934 and 23.9 for 1935. The birth rate has declined from 31.2 in 1914 to a low of 23.0 for 1933. Although the decline in the birth rate in North Carolina has been marked, it has been paralleled by a similar decrease in the birth rates throughout the United States. The health conditions in North Carolina for 1934 Avere, in general, not so favorable as for the preceding year. There were more deaths recorded from all causes combined, and consequently a higher death rate, than for any year since 1930. The 31,112 deaths, exclusive of stillbirths, represent an annual death rate of 10.6 per 1,000 population. Considered in terms of total deaths, the number reported for 1934 was 4,616 more than for 1933. A great majority of the causes of death participated in the increase. Diseases of the heart, nephritis, cerebral hemorrhage, embolism and thrombosis, caused a larger number of deaths than the year before. Pneumonia and influenza alone killed over 900 more people than in 1933, and heart diseases nearly 800 more. Diarrhea and enteritis under two years increased. The measles epidemic accounted for 333 in 1934 against 91 for the previous year, and whooping-cough doubled. Scarlet fever, diphtheria and tuberculosis showed little change, while typhoid fever deaths were lower. The infant and maternal death rates manifest a considerable increase. Violent and accidental deaths increased in 1934. The suicide rate was
