I want a new leaf." he said "I have spoiled this one." I took the old leaf, stained and blotted, And gave him a new one all unspotted And. into his sad eyes smiled "Do better,, now my child." I went to the throne with quivering soul The old year . was done. "Dear teacher, hast thou a new leaf for I have spoiled this one."

The use of the "2nd" refers to a boy named for an uncle or other male relative bearing, the same name. The "II" is never used in direct des cent. The man who is "Jr." drops the "Jr." upon his father's death, unless the father is so distinguished that there might be a possibility for some confusion in the identical names The son of a man who uses the "Jr." is the "3rd", if is identical with his father's, and never "II" or "2nd.

Angela Beth Bradley, 1950 Marion Lee McDonald 1939 Larry Randolph Snead, 1948 Sydney Alice Patterson, 1950 Members of the $ uniformed services on active duty will be brought under the old age and survivors insurance program of the social security system on a permanent, contributory basis after 1956 under provisions of the Servicemen's and Veterans.' Survivor Benefits Act . which 'President Eisenhower signed in to law on August 1. This means regular social security credit for service personnel for their years of active service in uniform aft er 1956 without affecting the military retirement pay of career soldiers and sailors. Beginning with January 1, 1957, military personnel of all grades will be covered by social security during active service and will be building personal and family protection under the program in substantially the same way as have been 9 ou of 10 persons in civilian employ ment and self -employment, rt The Federal Government and the servicemen will share the social security tax in the same manner as employers and em ployees in private industry. This tax will be at the same rate as that provided for civilian work ers and employers. For service men the social security tax will be on the service person's basic pay and will not be imposed on such items as the value of food, shelter, and various allowances and special pay. It is contemplated that the service departments will report wages of military personnel generally in the same manner that employers now report cov ered wages paid to civilian em ployees. Social security account number cards will be issued to members of the armed forces under special procedures. It will not be necessary for servicemen to contact social security dis trict offices to apply for cards. While contributory social se curity coverage for members of the uniformed services will not begin until January 1. 1957, j there will be no gap in social j security protection to service- ! men and their families, as the ; Julia Mclver Currie, 1948 Frances Suatfttoie I948v yr Janet Delores Marks, 1952 Mrs. J. A. Godfrey, 1855 (d) Martha Virginia Land, 1949 Joan Francis Crawford, 1934 Clifford S. Johnson Jr., 1946 Ex-Congressman J. Walter - Lambeth, elected Nov. 4, 1930, born 1896 noiiQntributory wage credits of $16( ?n month provided by the old I law have been extended thotigh Dec. 31, 1956. Those i special social security wage I credits had been given for mili ttary service beginning Septem ber 1940, but until this adjust ment was made, had been cut off at March 1956. Heretofore, a career person in the armed services could not ex pect to get the $160-a-month military wage credits under old age and survivors insurance be caure -the wage credits were not granted when a benefit- based in whole or in part on. the same period of military service was payable by any one of the uni formed services' staff retirement systems and certain other Fed eral retirement systems. Under the new law active service on or after January 1, 1957, may carry with it gratui tous $160-a-month wage credits for military service performed any time in the period after 1950 and before 1957, even if the same period is creditable tow ards a retirment payment from the service department. The gratuitous wage credits of $160 a month for service prior to January 1, 1957, cannot be used toward social security ben efits if that service was used in connection with a monthly pay ment under the civil service re tirement system for Federal civilian employees. However, un der a provision of the new' law survivors may, if to their ad vantage, give up all rights to a Hvil cprvipo " , ----- ' tJiuycus, ana tne sell Clityand elect Money already taken to have pre-1957 military serv ice counted toward social se curity benefits. Since military service performed on or after January 1, 1957. will be covered under social security on a con tributory basis, credit for that service will not generally be giv en under the civil service re tirement system. Beginning January 1, 1957, applications for survivors bene fits filed with either the Social Security Administration or the Veterans Administration by sur vivors of servicemen will consti tute applications for benefits from both agencies. In addition, proofs filed with either agency will be made available to the other agency. - The new law provides for re imbursement of the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insur ance Trust Fund out of the general government revenues for the additional costs of bene- fit payments resulting from the noncontributory $160-a -month military wage credits which were given for active service after September 15, J940. The trust fund will be reimbursed also for special survivor pay ments made after 1950 under 1946 legislation which applied to deaths of World War II veterans during the three-year period following discharge from serv ice. Under the old law, these expenditures from the trust! fund had to come out of thd social security taxes paid " by wivmcin employees, tneir em- pioyers, and the self-employed out of the! trust fund for these purposes will be, paid back into the fund over a 10-year period. In the future, the trust fund will be reimbursed annually .for current expenditures based on the pre-1957 $160 wage credits.
