When Winant awarded the job to
Strickland, he could say only, “If
it goes, you’ll get paid. If it doesn’t;
we’ll sec that your fare home is ’
paid" At the end of 12, months
Strickland had cleared a consider
able profit for the operation.
Strickland was interviewed for
the job by Winant on the day he
was'to have sailed for home fol
lowing the war.
“I've never had as many knots
in my stomach as I had then,”
Strickland recalled. However, the
project offered a n interesting
challenge and he decided to take
it. After two and a half months of
preparation the dining services)
opened for business Nov. 20, 1915 i
One thousand meals, the maximum I
possible with present facilities, are ;
served each day. Food comes from i
America, including precious beeif!
and pork which are. in very lim- j
ited supply in Great Britain.
ADVISED ARMY PERSONNEL
The War Department sent
Strickland, then technical seigeant. 1
to England in 1943 as one of 13 :
specialists to advise Army mess
personnel already here on how to
store and prepare frozen foods and
other supplies sent from America.
He was assigned to the North
ern Ireland Base Section, where
i j WHILE THEIR CARRIER STEAMS UP the East River, eleven hundred crewmen of tire TJ.S.S. Oriskany spell out j
| j a challenge in living letters on the flight deck. Every man aboard the vessel has volunteered to donate blood
1 to the armed forces. Challenge reads: “Hi New York... Oriskany Can Do 100%—Can You?” (International) j'
he spent 18 months moving about I
from one division to another is
suing the instructions. ,
When the invasion juggernaut
got moving, Strickland was detail
ed to run the mess service for thg i
marshalling yards in Northern Ire
land. He directed the serving of
three million meals in nine days.
“That's pretty good feeding,”
said Strickland in characteristic
understatement. “And all the. meals
were hot, too.”
As D-Day approached, he was j
transferred to Southampton to I
continue the same vital duty of
serving hot food to troops headed
for the shores of France. He set
up 835 field stove units and had
two battalions of men washing pots
and pans.
Strickland was about to moie on
to France after the bulk of the
troops had landed there, but be
fore he could go to Paris to get
set, the Army decided He’d best
Stay in Great Britain and prepare
to do the whole thing all over j
again in the opposite direction, i
The tide of war was moving suffi
ciently well that the Army was
now thinking of its redeployment
of troops to the Pacific.
GOES INTO REVERSE
Once again Strickland found
himself at Southampton once again
serving 35,000 meals a day. But
this time be had German prison
ers of war to wash the pots and
pans.
f He finished this job, the war |
I ended, and he was ready to go l
back to North Carolina or to New

Social Security And
The Self Employed
(Beginning January 1, 1951, over
4 1-3 million self-employed per-1
3bps were brought under the Fed- 1
eral old-age and survivors insur-,
ance program. This is the last of
mx arlicigs written by Stanley B.
Earl, Field Representative of the
Social Security Administration, ex- i
planning many of the self-employed
provisions or the Social Secr-ity
Act Amei'canents of 1950.)
VI. Action and Responsibility of]
the Self-Employed.
The Social Security Administra
tion. assumes responsibility for
maintaining the earnings records
of all persons assigned a social:
security account number card.
However, certain- obligations rest

whose work is covered by the:
mended social security law.
Unlike other workers covered by i
the social security law, the in- 1

does not have his earnings reported

by,someone else; unlike the em
ployee in a job covered by social
security, he does not share the tax
with someone who withholds and
remits his portion for him. He
must report his own earnings and
pay his own tax. *
Before the time he files his 1951
income tax return early in 1952 .the
self-employed persons alreday have
social security account number. This
account number distinguishes his
account from the social security
accounts of other people who have
similar or identical names. Many
self-employed persons alreday have
social security cards. Others have
had a card at one time or another,
but have lost it. If a self-employed
person has never had a card, or
has lost his card, he should get in
touch with the local social security
office. Or he can obtain a blank
