■ MARCH 20th i
111 This is the 16th year that national poison
93 prevention week has been in existence and the
M success of the effort is shown by the steady drop
in the number of childhood deaths from
Mi accidental poisonings.
■f SAFETY PACKAGING REGULATIONS HAVE
5| HELPED
lal Since August of 1972, when safety caps became
i| mandatory, the involvement of drugs in
H children’s accidental deaths have continued to
HI decline dramatically* This is especially true of
HI aspirin which is now no longer the number one
poisoner of children.
§1 WATCH OUT FOR SOFT DRINK BOTTLES

One Dollar Contribution Urged
RALEIGH North
Carolinians are urged by
Steve Glass, executive
director of the Democratic
Party, to designate $1 on
their income tax return to
the political party of their
choice. Glass noted that the
N.C. General Assembly
approved the tax check off
for state income tax payers
in the 1975 session (G.S. 105-
155.2).
“This will not increase a
person’s taxes or decrease
the amount of their refund,”

he said.
The state income tax
provision is identical to the
federal tax check off which
goes to Presidential can
didates of both parties
during the primary and is
available to nominees of
both parties during the
general election campaign.
Money from the North
Carolina check off goes to
established political parties
for use in the general
election.
Glass said, “The tax
check offs on federal and
state income tax are not
solely in the interest of the
Democratic Party but in the
interest of better govern
ment for North Carolina and
our nation. I urge all North
Carolinians concerned with
having good government on
the state and national levels
to check off $1 on both their
federal and North Carolina
income tax forms.”

THE CHOWAN HERALD
Soda) Security Now*
By LeeWallio
Field Representative
Students, housewives, and
other people who plan to get
a summer job should apply
now for a Social Security
number if they do not
already have one.
You should apply for your
number several weeks
before you need it for a job.
Frequently employers
require that new employees
have a Social Security
number before beginning
work, often to accommodate
the company’s bookkeeping
system.
Generally it takes several
weeks for an application to
be processed since it must
be screened against central
files in Baltimore to make
sure that a second number is
not issued to the same
person.
More than nine out of ten
jobs are covered by Social
Security.
Your Social Security
number is yours alone and
remains the same for life.
Workers build retirement,
disability, survivors, and
Medicare protection
through earnings credited to
their Social Security
number.
So when you get a job
covered by Social Security,
be sure your employer
copies your name and
number correctly from yoA-
Social Security card to his
records.
Anyone can get in
formation about applying
for a Social Security number
by calling their Social
Security office.
People applying for a
Social Security number for
the first time may be asked
to prove their age, identity,
and citizenship.
A birth certificate and'
driver’s license or other
identification card are
usually the best proofs to
have.
If you have lost your
Social Security card, you
can get a duplicate by
contacting your Social
Security office.
You can get a duplicate
faster if you have kept the
stub that came with your
Social Security card.
The Elizabeth City Social
Security office is located at
111 Jordan Plaza, next to
Southgate Mall (phone 338-
2161) and is open 9:00 to 4:30
weekdays.
