Seventy-One Babies Registered Here During Year 1938

   During 1938 there were 71 babies born in Hammond and vicinity
that were registered with the local registrar, H. Wilbur Carroll,
who has held the position since October, 1927.  There were quite
a number of children born during the past year whose parents have
not registered their birth and it would be well for them to do so
as birth records prove very valuable to some people during their
lives.  Mr. Carroll will register every birth free of charge and 
urges all parents to drop by his office in the City Hall and 
record same.
   No two children born during 1938 were given the same name as
is usually the case.  The name of Robert, Mary, Joseph, John and
Margaret are always so popular that nearly every year from three
to six children are given these names.  The most unusual names of
the year were Aufemia Apuzzo, Congeta Palermo and Antioneet Puma.
   The following is a complete list of babies born in this
vicinity during 1938 and whose parents had their births recorded
