K'- ■ ^-ri- LTrXAXOR T. ;.- Federal old-a^ and surTlvors 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 to the office of the Social Secur 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. i ATTEND FREE- THIS UNUSUAL PORTRAlV EXHIBIT B* sur* to this unusual display oi water colors, oil sHocts. mini atures and other works oi art, at our studio.
