Many unusual names are not so unusual wh;re the social security account records are concerned. He advised workeds not to at tempt to memorize their social security numbers. “A change or transposition of one digit might result in crediting your earnings to another person,” he declared. In conclusion, Cummins said: "No matter whether your name is John Smith or Ichabod Crane, be sure that it is reported along with your number just as both appear on your social security card. If you change your name, ask for another card, which will show your new names but th,, old number. An application may be obtained at any Post Office or Social Security Administration of fice. Once a social security num ber is issued to you, it is yours for life. It is your link to the record of your earnings which will set the amount of your pay- ments.” Cummins may be contacted on the second floor of the Court House m St. Helens, any Wedn.s- day, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. for infor mation about your social security status.

Told me his car went dead down the road and would I give him a shove. My boy, Flip, and I went out to his car with him. We’re all set to push when he steps on the starter and the motor turns over. “Well, Flip and I just stood there when the fellow leans out the window and says, ‘Just wanted to make sure you’re the right man to vote for’.” From »here I sit, the fellow » ho’s quick to lend a hand make» any community a better one. But you don't have to run for office to prove you're a good neighbor One way I know is just to have a little regard for the other fellow. Whether your neighbor likes beer or buttermilk, don’t try to puah him to your choice. Just give hint your “vote of confidence.” Copyright. 1953.
