This banq uet was held in the cafeteria on the night of Nov. 10. A Five-Year Club was inaugurated at this meeting and certificates of membership were present ed to each member. A delicious turkey dinner was serve,d and a program which followed included speeches, musical entertainment and movies. As you can easily see by looking at the picture, a good time was enjoyed by all. Lt. Wesley Keels Missing In Action Lt. (jg) Wesley Keels, Jr., for mer Physical Laboratory employ ee, has been missing in action since Oct. 12. He has been over seas since February of this year, having duty on a carrier some where in the Pacific. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Wesley Keels, Sr., of Monroe. He graduated from Brevard col lege in 1941, attended an aviation school at Hendersonville, and was a licensed pilot before entering the service. He entered the service in February, 1942, and received his naval training at stations in Flor ida, Virginia, and New Jersey. The following is taken from a recent letter from Lt. Keels: “How is everyone in Physical Lab.? ... I’d sure like to be able to take a good deep breath of that mountain breeze. I didn’t realize what a wonderful place that was until I left there. ... I can’t tell you what we’ve been doing but it wasn’t just playing around. Have been flying quite a lot, and long hops, too. We stay up from one to five hours at a time. A fellow real ly gets tired sitting in one position that long. . . . I’m building quite a lot of combat hours now, and have been lucky so far. Hope it con tinues to hold out. . .

Many persons have the same name, but no two per sons have the same number. “Be sure,” said Mr. Lambert, “that your employer records your name and account number exactly as they appear on your social se curity card. Keep your card in a compartment of your wallet or in a tough envelope or holder of some kind. Put the stub, or lower half, of the card, away in a safe place where it can easily be locat ed. Then if you lose your card, the Social Security board can give you a duplicate card immediately with the same number as was on the original. If you do not have the stub, or a record of your number, it will take time to get a dupli cate. But don’t lose your original card — issuing duplicates costs money, paper, and time.” The field office manager point ed out the important part which the employer plays under the sys tem. “He pays half the premium for your Government insurance; he forwards to the Government his own and your social security pre- WORKS IN F.
