George N. Adams in
int, N. C, the Social
nard has consented to
t accuracy of answers
to questions on Social Security,
which may be asked by employ
ers, employees, and others,
through The Herald. Address
inquiries to the Editor. Answers
will be given here in the order
in which questions are received.
This is an informational service
and is not legal advice or ser
vice. • In keeping with Social Se
curity Board policy names will
not be published.
Question: Will you kindly,inform
me whether registration under the
Social Security Act is compulsory,
•and if not, in what manner my em
ployer can be correspondingly reliev
ed of the payments for old-age bene
fits. lam not interested in the lat
ter personally and would welcome in
formation since the one per cent de
duction now in effect is too keenly
felt in the family budget to make
it practical or desirable.
Answer: If you are engaged in
employment not specifically except
ed under Title* VIII of the Social Se
curity Act, and are under 65 years
of age, your employer to required by
the Social Security Act to deduct
one per cent of your wages, when
and as paid, and as an employer pay
one per cent of your wages to the
collector of internal revenue each
month. Every employer of one or
more persons, who is engaged in
business not specifically excepted
under Title VIII of the Act, comes
under the Social Security Act, and
there is no way whereby he can be
relieved of deducting one per cent
from your wages and paying one per
cent himself to the Bureau of Inter
nal Revenue each month. You should
go to your Social Security Board
field office and get a Social Security
Account number, and report it to
your employer, who is responsible
for making the deductions required
by the law. When you reach the
age of 65, if you have worked one
«ay ifl'each of five different calendar
ears in a covered employment you
will, be ,eut|Usd to a monthly old-age
benefits' payfißi&'lfflpou sKouldT die
before reaching 65 years dependents
would be entitled to a lump-sum pay
ment under the old-age benefits pro
visions of the Act.
Question: I employ a large num
ber of persons. In the past my firm
has used metal work numbers for my
employee’s indentification. Would
the Social Security Board object if
my firm had the individual Social
Security account number of each em
ployee placed on metal tags, and used
as employee identification work num
bers? This would greatly simplify
my records, and at the same time
give each one of my employees a
more durable number than the one
they have at the present time.
Answer: The Social Security
Board would have no objection to
your having your employee’s Social
Security Account numbers reproduced
on metal tags, to be used as identi
fication work numbers. The account
number of each employee is his own
and of course could not be used for
anypne else, and if an employee left
your employ that number is still his.
it should be carefully explained to
the employee that that is his Social
Security Account number for life and
that he should preserve that number.
Social Security account numbers may
not be used in any commercial way
by any employer.
Question: 1 expect to get married
and change my Should I have
my Social Security number voided
or get another one?
Answer: You should write to the
Social Security Board Records Office,
Candler Building, Baltimore, Mary-,
land, giving, your account number,
your name in which the number was
issued, and your new name. Your
numbep will remain the same, but
your new name will appear on your
Social Security Ledger Account in
the Records Office. .

We are quite chesty over our

was asked, after a fine record as a

We sent him over with the six boys

put in charge of a hard sector. The
General, however, measured up. We
could only send six boys, and appli

this. We had to refuse the privilege

St. Paulites for their generosity. All

1 Rotarians-Red Men
■ Defeat Masons-Lions
In Donkey Ball Game
Playing before a crowded grand
stand and onlookers lined along
first and third base lines, a team
composed of Red Men and Rotarians
defeated an aggregation of Lions
and Masons in a donkey baseball
game Friday night at Hicks Field.
The winners walked away with the
long end of a 4-0 score.
The game furnished many thrills
and spills, with the victors appearing
; to have far more control over a
group of stubborn donkeys, both on
• offense and defense, than the de
i seated players.
[ Possibly the outstanding plays of
i the game were pulled off by Vernon
i Barrow for the losers, who at one
time looked more like a parachute
, jumper as he left the back of a con
, trary donkey. Cecil Byrum also
> played a good game at shortstop ex
i cept for the fact that he lost con
i siderable time getting his leg over
1 the donkey when throwing the ball,
i J. Clarence Leary too, lost much time
in fielding balls due to a donkey
[ with locked gears. He was tempted
. several times to pick up the bull
• headed donkey and carry it to where
, the ball stopped.
: Melvin Layton tor some unKnown
' reason had little trouble in steer
> ing his donkey around the bases.
> while Leroy Haskett’s “steed” headed
• toward third base every time. E. L.
Hollowell and one of the donkeys be-
I came all tangled up at one time and
< ifc* was a scramble sure enough in an
1 effort of each to get out of the
■ other’s way. Arthur Hollowell had
t a slight advantage over some of the
r players’because his donkey was very
i small and Arthur’s feet touched the
■ ground. Kenneth Floars would have
played a good game but he couldn’t
• keep his donkey headed in the right
i direction.
All in all the game furnished much
fun and apparently was enpoyed by
| the large number of spectators which,
however, did not equal the crowd at
a former donkey game.
