iBSoraoee is a contributory ays-
tem ot social Insuranco. Wage
earners and afieir employera con
tribute equally to a fund in tbe
United States Treasury, out of
which benefits are paid. Bmploy-
; ers deduct each worker’s social
security tax from his pay and turn
it in quarterly with an equal a-
mount of their own and with a
report which shows the worker’s
wages as well as the tax.
The worker's wages as reported
by his employer are credited to
his social security account. Each
insured worker has a social se
curity account card. The number
on tliat card, together with his
name, is the key to his identifi
cation when he claims payment
of insurance. When his claim is
filed, the wages shewn on the
claimant’s social security account
are used in computing his bene-
lits.
For further Information apply

ity Board, 301 Post Office Build
ing, Salisbury, N. C.
No department of the farm is
more neglected than the garden
and none is needed more.

New York. March 4. -Tiiat this
story may 'be undeisiuod by the
occidental mind, il niusi be slated
that when a Chinese is .-■natclm'
from the jaavs of deat'u it is not
uncommon for him to l>e striciten
from tlie official rolls ot the liv
ing.
So it was with the Chine.se giri
whom C. S. Vaughn. Imnsport pi
lot. lifted drioping from the eold
waters of the Yangtze river nearly
four years a.go. And so it is that
Vaughn is still getting hills—and
paying—for the board and lodg
ing of a soul for whose rescue he
was responsible.
The story goes back to tliat day
when Vaughn brought bis air
plane to rest at l^^hu-'Sien.
A strong wind •avhtpped across
he river. He called for help to
weight down a pontoon and there-
■).v control a wing, tugging at his
mooring. The first volunteer was
1 girl, eager to speed the prn-
of aviation. Men fillowed
her. ilpMigh. ami in the melee the
•!iil weal overiioard.
No one moved. \ an.ghn slied
his coal and dived.
Nearly .seven months passed he-
fore Vauglin retiinied to W’ahn-
sieii. and awaiting him was a con-
-tiibulary officer. Fn his hand
was a hill for $3.1S ”Mex'' (1.59)
■for Imard and lodging one res-
■•iieti sonl. responsiitility I’iiot
Vauglin.’
Vtitiglin argued with the offi-
aer. Officially the girl had (fuit
llii.s life. Vaughn had seen fit to
bring lier back. Therefore she was
hi.s charge until she got married.
\ aiigtin paid and has lAen paying
