Parents be sure to record the birth of your child with given name in full.
Your co-operation to the end that all births may be prop- erly recorded will be greatly appreciated.
Your attention is called to the provisions of Section 36 and 55 of Chapter 207 of the General Laws relating to mar- riages solemnized out of this state, which are as follows:
"Section 29 of Chapter 151 of the Revised Laws: If a marriage is solemnized in another state between parties liv- ing in this Commonwealth who return to dwell here they shall, within seven days after their return, file with the clerk or registrar of the city or town in which either of them lived at the time of their marriage, a certificate or declaration of their marriage, including the facts relative to marriages, which are required by law, and for neglect thereof shall forfeit ten dollars."
Blanks for the return of all Vital records can be obtained from the Town Clerk.
Attention is called to the fact that all dogs three months old or more must be licensed at the Town Clerk's office on or before April 1, 1942.
I take this opportunity in wishing the Townspeople much prosperity during the year 1943.
Respectfully submitted, ALBERT S. COLEMAN,
