We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

One of the reasons Jack Barry, who emcees Life Begins at 80, gave up his search for the oldest living person in the country was that birth records were not too carefully kept more than fifty years ago. Jack even now runs into difficulties in getting documentary evidence of the ages of people trying to get on the show. He says that some of the oldsters seeking spots on the panel produce all kinds of documents, their driver's licenses, insurance policies, passports, Spanish American War discharge certificates, wills, contracts and even the birth certificates of their children — which in most instances contain the ages of the parents — but never has one of the applicants produced his or her own birth certificate.
