WASHINGTON " L'PI - The : fir s tiree digits of your Social Secur.ty number indicate the area a.-id slate in w hich Ui hold er l.ved at the time of issuance. Tbe second group of two num Sers a the Social Security num :r ire aiways even beginning If first of the.se two Li is is a zero, however, the sec--cc i.pjrt may be odd. The De-ro-Tment of Health, Education i-o W cltare hasn't sot around to '-Sir.; off numbers yet beyond 09 ' j ms grouping. WASHINGTON l'Pl Selec tee Service numbers are divided l-.:o four groupings of digits. The first two-digit groupings tei'-s the state in which the holder registered for the draft. The sei : ond two or three-digit groups i tells the local draft board w ith which he is registered. The third two-digit group indicates the year of the registrant's birth. The fi nal two of three digit group tells the order in w hich he was regis tered with tlie local board. ber. I here are 143 million of these outstanding among Ameri cans. Then there's a driver's license About 89 million persons in the L' S. have tliem. Tliey all have numbers. And, of course, there's the credit card numbers, the hospital and medical insurance numbers, and organization membership numbers. If you are an average, moder ate joiner who tries to keep his credit accounts at a minimum, you probably can fmd about 15 numbers during a quick check of your billfold. If you are an inveterate joiner you may come up with 30 or 4fl membership numbers. If you are a real tycoon, you may crack the 100 mark in tlie numbers game Only The Beginning There are: country club greens card numbers, voter registration numbers, military serial num bers, car registration numbers. auto license numbers, checking account numbers, savings ac count numl)ers, auto insurance policy numbers. And this is only starter. Lots of people may have your number tlie dralt board, the Federal Bureau of Investigation. the drug store on the corner, or the librarv. Authorities throw up their hands when asked to estimate how many numbers the average man has against his name. No one. apparently, keeps statistics on the number of organizations the average American joins, how many credit cards he holds, or how many insurance policies he purchases. But it is safe to say that Amer icans, who like to think of them selves as unregimented, are the most numbered people on earth. No other people buys as many varieties of insurance, refines in stallment purchase to such a high art, or creates such a variety ol societies and associations. .SUrts At Birth Your numbers begin at the: cradle or before and end at the grave. When a baby is born his birth is certified by a number, in a sense it may be said tlie infant has a number before birth be cause pliarmacists are required to keep numerical records of pre scriptions for expectant mothers. Conditioning tlie child for ac ceptance of his numbered exist ence begins almost immediately. There are serial numbers on his baby food, on his toys, on the breakfast cereal boxes from which many children learn to read. When the child starts school, conditioning moves into high gear. Not only does lie begin studying numbers, he begins ac quiring more individual numliers on his library card, his school registration card. By adolescense he has become so benumbed by numbers from his Boy Scout membership to his bunk at summer camp that he is ready to accept blindly a life long succession of seven-digit tel ephone nubers, postal zip codes and bans account numners wnicn will end with a cemetery lot num ber and a death certificate number.

Kingsley Field TU 2-4681 WASHINGTON (I'PII-Nuclcar scientists testifying before Con gress have turned a spotlight on a newly recognized danger of ra riionrtivo fallout to which scvernl thousand children apparently linvo already been exposed. The exposures, according lo (lie scientists, occurred at inter vals over (ho past 12 years when radioactive iodine was deposited on pasture land in "hot spots" after Nevada nuclear tests. It was consumed by the children In fresh nulk. The scientists' calculations, sub mitted to tlie Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy this week, indicated tlie exposures were at a level which would pro duce thyroid cancer in an aver age of one out of every 2B6 cases. Iho net result might be a doz en or at most a few dozen addi tional cases of thyroid cancer in Iho next 10 years. But tlie Ken nedy administration has made clear tliat tins is not to be re garded as merely a statistic, and would be a heavy penalty for con ducting the tests. President Kennedy has prom ised further study of tlie matter. The problem will be taken up by state and federal health and nu clear officials, and consulting scientists, at a meeting in Salt l.ako City, Utah, Sept. 17. A survey by a national food company shows that 57.3 million Americans eat out at least once each week. This is a jump of 9.1 million over the lWiO survey figure. few B) SfSW i 1 X immmtmm1 - imi's i lyre hinq rlirewiv Jell-well Fruit flavored GELATINS Fresh fruit flavors plus real economy 3 oz. A pkg.
