It Is similar to the better group insurance and re tirement programs may large and progressive Amerncan bUKinesses tong ago established for their work ers. Family security means better morale; better morale mea/is better work.''. ? * . Eyery 3 months each employer sends his Social -Security taxer, to the Collector of Internal Revenue. Half the taxes he forwards are his own; half are deductions from the ' -wages of his workers. At the present time the employer and employee e>*oh contribute one percent. Begin sing January 1, .1950, the employee . wiil have 11-2 percent of his wages J deducted each pay day and his em ployer wil also contribute 11-2 per- ; cent. For the months of October, Nov ember, and December each employ- j er must file a Social Security Tax Return before February 1, 1950. With ? the taxes he has deducted from em- | ployees* wages, he sends to the Col - ' lector of Internal Revenue wage re ports which must show (a) each em ployee's Social Security Account Number; (b) each employee's name! and (c) the accpunt of' wages he paid such employee in that 3-month period. The wages so reported are etedited by the Social Security Ad ministration to each worker's indi- ' vidusi wage account, just as a pri vate insurance company credits in surance premiums paid. To pay. these taxes without full and accu rate reports is like paying a bill without properly identifying your- . self, ThLs is a reminder to employer? to make certain that the correct ac count numbers for all of your em ployees are available when you pre- ' pkre your report.

Santa Claus as Americans know j him is a naturalized American clti zen, and as such is America's con tribution to the Christmas legend. That's the opinion of Dr. Gustav O. Arlt of the department of Ger manic languages on the Los Ange ? li?s campus of the University of California. "The Norwegians who settled enrly in America brought the first version of the modern. Santa Claus, who in Europe had been known as St. Nicholas, but never adequately J personally described," said Dr. Arlt. "When the American Clement j Moore described the jolly, rotund i gentleman in minute detail in hia poem " *T\vas The Night Before Christmas,"- he assumed the pro portion of living legend and thus became ai> integral part of Chris tian legend and folklore," the professor stated. More farm people are killed in [ motor vehicle mishaps than any oth j er class of accidents. m SANTA CLAUS SAYS: "Bay This For Men . .
