Gee, we’re glad to be back

folk, Va., and also went to Ocean
View . . . Etta McIntyre went
sight-seeing in Tennessee . . .

time they had . . . Sylvia Huney-
cutt visited Park City in Tenn.

Pauline said the most exciting
thing she saw was the outdoor
Sport Shirt With Long
Tail Is New For Fall
A sport shirt w^ith a long tail, a new idea for such a garment,
is in production for Anvil and Tractor Brand Fall lines.
Pete Peyton of the Sales De
partment says the new shirt has
the comfortable convertible col
lar of the regular sport shirt,
plus the new long tail which
should prove a more satisfactory
garment than the usual style
sport shirt with short tail.
This new shirt will come in
■‘suede” and “jeans” cloth and in
solid colors including red. Pete
remarked that in the red, the
shirt makes a very good hunting
shirt.
National chain stores already
are making plans to promote the
shirt Pete said, and added that
this new shirt is another instance
of Anvil-Tractor Brand meeting
the demand of its customers. In
^ this case, it is combining the
comfort of a sport shirt with the
utility of a work garment.
On the tag placed on each shirt
the following information i s
printed: “Here is an every pur
pose sport shirt — with a long
tail — that will give you easy
comfort and top appearance. This
full-cut shirt is designed to com
bine the advantages of sport
shirt styling—sport collar—^french
front—sport shirt buttons and
buttonholes . . . latest patterns
and colors . . . with a long tail . . .
Which cannot work or slide
from under a belt—regardless of
action or movement.
No pleats or pockets . . . this is
one of the easiest shirts to
launder and iron.”
“NEW LONG SHIRT TAIL” SPORT SHIRT—Above is
the novel tag that will accompany the new “long tail sport
Shirt” Anvil-Tractor Brand is bringing out this Fall. The
sales Department is enthusiastic about the new garment
and says advance reports indicate it will be an unusually
popular number.

Know Your
Social Security Standing
“Our forefathers founded an
enduring republic that has prob
ably endured more than they
ever suspected it would.”
—Frances Rodman.
Many employed people do not
have a complete understanding of
the deduction from their pay
checks shown as “F.I.C.A.” This
deduction is actually your con
tribution to the Social Security
Trust Fund for the purpose of
building up an insurance account
against the time of your retire
ment or death.
Unlike private insurance, no
notice of premium due is sent to
persons protected by the old-age
and survivors insurance program.
The F.I.C.A. tax is automatically
deducted by the employer,
matched from his own funds and
paid to the government with a
report of the amount of wages
paid to each individual employee.
The Bureau of Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insurance keeps a record
of wages so reported, and the
amounts accredited to each
worker’s account determines the
amount of monthly benefits pay
able to him and his dependents
in his old age, or to his family in
case of his death.
Anyone who has a social se
curity account may request a
1^ statement of the earnings cred
ited under his social security
number. Mrs. Ruth Duffy, man
ager of the High Point district
social security office, states that
it is advisable to request such a
statement every three or four
years.
The High Point district office,
and 531 other district offices lo
cated in principal cities through
out the United States, have a
standard post card form for re
questing an earnings statement
from the social security account
ing office in Baltimore, Mary
land. When you request the card,
you should also ask any questions
you have about social security
and obtain explanatory literature
about the old-age and survivors
insurance program.
The High Point Social Security
Office is located in Room 201 of
the Post Office Building.
