As another service to its read
ers. the Journal-Patriot each
week will give authoritative an
swers to questions on the Social
Security law. By special arrange
ment with D. W. Lambert, Acting
•Manager of the Social Security
Board office at 302 Post Office
Building in Salisbury, N. C., The
Social Security Board has con
sented to pass on the accuracy of
answers to questions on Social Se
curity, whico may /be asked by
employers, employees, and others,
through the Journal-Patriot. Ad-
dre.«s inquirie.s to The Editor, The
Journal-Patriot, North Wilkes-
boro, N. C. Answers will be given
here in the order in which ques
tions are received. This is an in
formational service and is not
le.cal advice or service. I.i keep

CIS) Q. I go to bu.siness school
and work in a cafeteria for my
meals. I don’t get any pay.
Should I get an account number
and give it to my employer?
A. Although you do not receive
any wages in cash, your meals
comstitute wages under the Social
Security law. Your work in a
cafeteria is not an excepted em
ployment. You should, therefore,
have a social security account
numiber. Keep your account card,
as you will use the same number
for the rest of your life, but make
your number known to your em
ployer.
(19) Q. I filed an SS-5 appli
cation in March of this year. I
moved awaj' and never received
my number. Do I ha/e to file an
other application.?
Y'ou should file another SS-5
application. Get the application
from your post office or nearest
Social Security Board field office.
In answering question 14 on this
form be sure to state clearly thgt
you file4 an SS-5 in March with
the post office to which you sent
it, and state that you did not re
ceive a number in response to
that first application.
(20) Q. In filling out SS-5 for
an account number what name do
I give in answer to question 10,
which asks my mother’s full
maiden; name?
A. Your mother’s full maiden
name was her full name before
she was married and her maiden
name does not includel her mar
ried name. For example: if her
name was Mary Ellen Smith be
fore she was married to your
father, you would give her name
as Mary Ellen Smith and not as
Mary Ellen Smith.' Jones, or any
other variation or combination of
the surnames iSmith and Jones.
Your father’s name Is no part of
you*- mother's maiden name.

Cornelius Youth
Winner Contest
“What Makes America Great’’
was the title of the essay sub
mitted by Herman Howard, of
Gomeliu.s, winner of the state
prize in the Kessler Memorial
contest.
His essay follows:
“What makes America great?
Would you say her large well-
trained army and navy? Would
you say her great national Cap!
tal? Her stocks and ‘bonds that
indicate a teeming nation's
wealth and power? Would yon
say her churches and educational
institutions? Would you say her
architectural wonder®, fertile
fields, mines, and splendid for
ests? I would say, yes, all of these
are evidences of a natnon’e wealth,
power and proeperity; but these
alone do not constitute America’s
greatness. The true greatness of
any nation *s in its homes—^the
foundation of the government,
the basis of the nation’s strength,
the castle of the average man, the
bulwark of the nation.
"Deep in the heart of every
woman there is the craving for a
home—a place she can call her
own, where she can be both mo
ther and queen. She instinctively
knows that a home makes for
happier married life, for healthier
children, for confidence and se
curity, for courage to meet’'the
battles of life. If you should go
to the great educational centers
of America and ask, “From when
comes our greatness?” the answ
er—not In part, but the whole,
would be, “FYom the Ho-me.”
“Let us think, then, for a few
moments of one of the beet ways
to establish a hpme. First, let us
own our home. There is a very j
easy, simple, and profitable meth
od by which we can go about
owning our home. Stop for a
while and think of our building
and loan organizations. They will
gladly lend you money on easy
terms. Now think of this pros
pective home-owner, and become
more businesslike and own your
home. You will be in debt only
six years and a few months, for
your.loan matuics in that length
of time, with only a mere pit
tance of interest having been
paid. Every dollar Invested in a
building and loan association is
a step toward greater individual
and community prosperity, be
cause it furnishes employment to
home people, gives trade to our
home industries and adds to the
t-ixable wealth of the community.
“By going a little deeper into
this matter, we see how much
more beautiful our own town or
countryside would be If every
body owned his home. You can
afford to improve and beautify
your own property, but if the
place you call home bel >ngg to
someone else, you, cannot afford
to spend money, time and energy
beautifying it. Who is it that
does not love beauty? There is
ncjie! Even the tenant loves beau
ty, but he has no property to
beautify. \
“To almost all of the great
men in our American history
there have been erected monu
ments. We boast of such men as
George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson and
Will Rogers. They should he hon
ored. but why should we not al
so honor the three young Scotch
friends who organized and fohnd-
ed the building and loan assoch
ation In Scotland years and ye^re
ago? If it were in my ■power and
I had the means by which to flo
so, I would like to help erect’A
monument towering high Into thef
sky, proclaiming to all the world ,
the lesson they taught in
three greatest ^ words of evory
tongue and every nation—'Mother,
Hetjven end Home.
