CITY SECTION BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1942 PAGES 7 TO 14 SOURCES FOR PROVING DATE OF BIRTH TOLD State, County Records Preferred; Employers Demand Verification ITH hundreds of Kern county citizens seeking to prove they were born by obtaining birth certificates, the growing problem of wartime citizenship today was described by city and officials as one of the most difficult to solve. Large numbers of Kern county people ore seeking to obtain Jobs in war industries, chiefly in southern California, or join the armed forces.

Under government edict each defense worker must produce his birth certificate before he gets a job. That poses a problem. instance there are many local citizens, especially those above the age of 40, whoso births were never entered in official records by the per- who' were born on ranches In the county have discovered that there is no record of their birth In the Hall of Records. In addition, there are many cases where no physician was present and the parents neglected to file affa- davit of the birth. By taking a look at the legal columns in The Callfornlan, you can see dozens of affadavlts sworn to by witnesses to some local child's coming into the world.

Such affidavits when approved by the courts, are acceptable to defense industry personnel officers. The problem of furnishing proof that they are citizens of the United States is a vital one for hundreds of residents, according to Dr. Bertram P. Brown, state health director. Dcctor Brown outlines the procedure for Individuals to follow in establishing fact of their birth in If born on or after July 1, 1905, when state registration was begun, write to the bureau of vital statistics, state department of public health, Sacramento, requesting a certified copy of your birth certificate.

The legal fee of $1 should enclosed. Write Recorder Kern residents born In the county before July, 1905, should write to County Recorder C. H. Shomate In Bakersfield. If born in other counties they should -write to respective county recorders.

All birth records in San Francisco were destroyed In the fire following the 1906 earth quake. In case birth certificates are not on file, either with the state or county, court action is the only pro cedure open to establish the fact of birth. "Court Is expensive," the state health director pointed out. "In its last session the Legislature, failed to pass a bill which would have permitted the state to provide for delayed registration of births by submission of documentary evidence. Similar laws are in effect in other states and it is hoped such a bill will be passed in the next legislative ses- 4 sion." Affidavits collected by individuals without resort to court action are sometimes acceptable in lieu of birth certificates or establishment of fact of birth by court action, Doctor Brown said.

Such affidavits may sometimes be substituted in securing employment and in determining eligi tiillty for pensions. Where to Obtain Information Hints'on. how to secure Informa tlon were issued by the director. affidavits in Kern may be obtained from County Shomate and should be filed with him when filled out. First importance is attached to af fldavits from the physician who at tended birth, and next in importance are sworn statements by either both parents.

Other Records Helpful Other evidences' helpful in estab llshlng the fact of birth are schoo enrollment records, baptismal rec ords, Sunday school registrations photo-copies of newspaper announce merits of birth, copies of insuranc policies in which names of children are mentioned and records of th United States Bureau of Census. Census records are obtainable only from the director of the census bu reau in Washington, D. C. Legislation is now' pending before the United States Senate mil Hary affairs committee which would authorize the director of the census to issue certifications Legislators to Hold Kern Canal Hearings Joint Committee Meets in City on Saturday; Tour Route This Week Recorder Charles H. Shomate of birth records to persons born in the United States upon payment of $1 and presentation of a sworn statement that the applicant was born in the United States.

Several hearings have already jeen held on the legislation. File at Post Office Under the legislation, applications 'or "certified birth records," could be filed at any first class or second class post office or at any post office ocated at a county seat. Fingerprints of each applicant would be 'orwarded to the department of jus- In Washington. A fine of not more than $5000 and prison term not to exceed five years, or both, would be imposed for iving false statements In the application. Attorney General Earl Warren has ruled that so-called birth certificate agencies, which have mushroomed all over the state to help persons establish their places of birth and prove citizenship, must be licensed by the detective license bureau if they offer their services for a fee.

The opinion, requested by the Icense bureau; held that anyone en- HE California Legislature's joint committee on water problems will hold a dinner meeting and conduct hearings in Bakersfield at Hotel El Tejon at 7:30 p. in. next'Saturday, according to an announcement by Senator Bradford S.

Donovan, state director of selective service, that occupational questionnaires to list the civilian occupations and skills of all California men In tho October, 1940, and July, 1941, registrations who have not yet been Inducted Into the armed forces will be in tho mall not lator than May 27. Pointing out the vital Importance to tho nation's war effort of tho most efficient use of its man power for war production, General Donovan urged all registrants receiving tho occupational questionnaire to Rlvo serious thought to their skills, experience and aptitudes when filling It out. He said: "The government wants to know what type of work tho registrant Is now engaged In, in order that ho might assist In the war effort. It Is not merely a question of training experience, for the registrant might have some aptitude that could be developed for important use in war production." The handling of the occupational questionnaires for men of tho first and second R-days will be separate from that of tho registrants of the third registration last February, 1 most of whom- already have received their questionnaires, it was explained. Many of the registrants of the first and second registrations are already in the armed forces, he the questionnaires to them will be mailed from the classification record in each local board office instead ot from the list of registrants.

Ix)cal boards will add to the questionnaires, when returned by tho registrant, Its current classification of each registrant and whatever information Is available pertaining to his physical status. When the occupational questionnaires are returned to local boards they will bo checked for completeness and accuracy and divided into tho various sections of which they are composed. One section will bo sent to the Bureau of Census, Washington, D. for "tho attention ot the population division. Another section will be relayed to the proper United States employment office for the area in which tho local board has jurisdiction.

General 'Donovan cautioned that questionnaires must be filled out by the registrant and mailed to his local board within 10 days after receipt. Antelope Plains Producer in Newjtegion High-Quality Crude Reported by Kern Shell Officials first major oil dis- Icovery of 19-12 in the San Joaquin valley was confirmed today when the Shell Oil Company announced that on Monday its Shell-Williams 45-6, located in the Antelope Plains area of northwestern Kern county, cnme lu flowing more than 000 barrels of 10.4 degree gravity crude per dny. The well in section 0, 28-20, opens up nn entirely new field in nn urea hitherto uti- tnppcd. First news of tho new field wns disclosed in The Inst week. Fifty-five miles northwest "bt Bnk- crsfleld, the well Is producing from oil sand of believed middle-Miocene nfio In tho interval from 2280 to 2340 feet.

Thus within less than a year after the discovery of the vtist Raisin City field, the Shell geological department has uncovered what may prove to be a major contribution to oil reserves of California. The discovery well in the Antelope Plains area is 5 miles west of the North Bclridge oil field. Site of tho well is a dry grass-covered plain with a few low rolling hills nearby. The area is flanked a few miles to the west by the Temblor range, where formations which were penetrated by the drill in the Williams well crop out at the surface. There are no surface indications of oil in the vicinity of the well, and the subsurface structure was worked out by geological methods utilizing geophysical and other subsurface data.

Several companies, including Shell, have drilled wildcats in the Antelope plains region, and the discovery In the first well drilled on the Will- lams structure speaks well for the accuracy of the subsurface interpretation, oil men said. Ditch showings of oil and gas occurred practically from the grass roots down during the drilling of the well. At a depth of 1760 feet, the drill passed from a thick capping of brown shale Into a gas sand of middle Miocene age. Continuous coring, begun at a depth of 1760 feet, showed the existence of gas and oil sands with minor tight Interbeds all tho way to the completion depth of 2340 feet. The Interval from 1700 to 2219 feet consisted principally of gas sands and gassy oil sands.

Tests of most of this interval by stages showed a potential production of dry gas at a rate of from 70,000 to 3,500,000 cubic feet per day. The penetration of this "gas cap" by the Williams 45-6 well suggests that the well la located on top of the structure, engineers stated. In the completion of the well the gassy portion was excluded by putting It behind the casing in order to conserve gas pressure and prolong the life of the field. Furthermore, it is believed that the gassy oil sands will yield less gas on the flanks of the structure and should produce oil in these down- flank positions. In tho Interval from 2280 to 2340 feet, rich oil sand ot believed mid- die-Miocene age was penetrated, and it Is from this interval that the well is flowing oil.

Casing was cemented at 2280 feet and 80-mesh perforated liner was set opposite the oil sand. At Us completion depth the well was still In oil sand and it is believed that a considerable thickness of additional oil sand of this zone may exist below the depth penetrated by tho well. In later wells the total thickness of this zone as well aa possibln deeper producing zones of lower Miocene and Eocene age will be explored, tho company said. Williams 45-6 was drilled by a modern portable drilling unit, originally designed for rapid shallow drilling with the derrick, engine units, and racks all mounted on tractor treads, and which can bo easily moved from one location to another. This type of rig is especially suited for shallow drilling in tho flat open country of Antelope Plains.

Many features of the new discovery are worthy of special attention, oil men said. The oil is a low gravity, high quality crude greatly needed today for war purposes. Proximity of the field to Shell's mldsta- tlon on its main Bakersfleld-Mar- tlnez pipeline will solve transportation problems, officials explained.
