schools who -have been working
during vacation periods, Mr.
Clement stated.
“Many a person, after securing
a social security account number
and working tor a short time,
either misplaces or loses his ac
count card,” Mr. Clement stated,
"and we are trying to impress
upon each "worker the fact that
he needs only one account number
and should keep it throughout
his lifetime.”
It was emphasized by Mr.
Clement that two different social
security ■ account numbers may
mean smaller old-age and sur
vivors ihsuraince payments when
the time comes to file a claim
for benefits. In case anyone
loses his social security account
