This question has bother ed a great many people and has caused a lot of worry. The answer : to this question though is "NO"! It is true, of course, that you must prove that you are at least fi2 to draw your social security retire ment benefits. But to do this it is not necessary to have a birth cer tificate. The Social Security Office will ac cept many different things as proof of your age and chances are you have one or more of these "accep table proofs" right now. Here are Just a few of the th'.gcs you can Ose to prove your age pro vided that'these proofs are old en ough and otherwise acceptable: an old insurance poflcy. an old Bible record, old school records, voting records and employment records. I You also could use your marriage record, yOtit baptismal certificate or a military service record. Many people delay applying for their social security because they do not feel that they can prove fhetr age. Actually, there are very few cases in which a person cannot ob tain some proof of MS age. The Social Security Office advises all persons who believe that they are old enough to apply for bene fits Do not delay because if you waft too long, you may lose some benefits. If you do not have satis factory proof of your age when you come in to apply, the employees at the Social Security Office will make every effort to help -you get it. If you already have proof of your age, da hot forget to bring it with you when you apply for benefits-it will speed your claim up a great deal. If you have any questions about old-age, survivors, or disability in surance, the employees is the Soc ial Security Office at Goldsboro will be glad to answer them.

The chances Is mighty good that this same honest housewife was wearing false eyelashes, a black wig over her gray hair, a girdle to hide her hay window and a Jar of face paint to cover her wrinkles I ain't agin Senator Hart's bill in the Congress, but I'd have to say.

Sales T?? ebgjgg _ I SENATOR ERVIN Commission has announced bgw'n WASHINGTON - The Senate has been engaged in filling committee assignment! on fifteen of its eigh teen standing, select, and special committees, senate organization has been pending during the Rule! de bate which ended February 1. By a roB-call vote the Senate rejected any chance in Rule XXII Which re quires a two-thirds vote of the Senators "present and voting" to Impose silence on those who wish to speatc on a pending motion or bill. Very likely the Rules debate will not be re-ewed until the opening of the 89th Coigress in January 1965. When the Senate convened for this session, deaths, retirements, and poltical defeats had caused thirty-two Senate committee vacan cies to exist. In the reshuffling of last week four new Committee Chairmen were named. Senator Anderson succeeds the late Senator Kerr as Chairman of the Space Committee. In turn Senator Jack son succeeds Senator Anderson as Chairman of the Interior Commit tee. Senator McNamara suceeds the late Senator Chavez as Chairman of the Public Works Committee. My colleague, Senator Jordan, succeeds Senator Mansfield who vacates the Rules Committee, as its Chairman. Seven committees had the party alignments changed. These Foreign Relations, Armed Services, Com merce, Public Works, Appropria tions", Banking and Currency, and Judiciary. The Finance Committee made no change in party alignment, but Senators Rlbicoff and Dirksen were named to fill existing vacan ies. The Government Operations Committee was enlarged to the sta tus of a major committee by in creasing its membership from nine to fifteen. Due to the dominance of tax and spending issues, the composition of the Senate Finance and Appropria tions committees is certain to have a marked affect on any legislation in these areas. With the failure to enlarge the Finance Committee at last week's policy meetings, it ap peals likely that the Finance Com mittee will shape any tax bill brou ght to the floor. PROOR \MS - Recent Presidential message have dealt with farm, edu cation, and mental health pro grams. The farm message of Jan uary 31 proceeds on the theory that Congress will offer separate bills to meet needs in the areas of feed grains* cotton, dairyirg, and other programs. Last year's omnibus farm biH offered by the Adminis tration was much battered in its attempt t? cojfe wtfh opposing views on farm surpluses. The separate bill theory may bring creater legislative success In farm programs at this session. In contrast to thp arricultiirV ap proach, Congress has been asked to enact a comprehensive twenty-four part educations' bill. The measure has already gotten off to a rocky start. Disappointment has been ??ni c?d 'rem ma- y sides ever s" -nvv's of the package pro-ran.

U s.. : ' iV WASHINGTON - How serious is the SovMk-Ouba military threat7 TWa question etboed ill Capitol tot ridors and to Ale Senate last week. It broaght charges and counter-ch ares from Sehdfori and the Admin istration. Ibe new Congress con fronted by seven Presidential mes sages. including proposals for farm, education, and mental health pro grams, awaited the investigation to be conducted by the Senate Armed Services Preparedness Subcommit tee for a clearer answer. The Sub committee It headed by the very able Senator John Stennis of Mis sissippi who has demonstrated his abiilty on other occasions to conduct such an investigation with regard 10 the national interest. I am satisfied that this Subcommittee will make a fair investigation of reports of a continuing military build-up in Cuba and in due course will inform the American people of its findings. The unfortunate Cuba situation arises out of the United States not using the Monroe Doctrine. This na iiu., ought to have tirm foreign pol icies. I am much concerned about Soviet forces in Cuba. Ever since we learned that Russia and her satellites were shipping arms to Cuba. I have taken the following position: (1) That the United States should declare that such action constitutes an invasion of the Western Hemis phere in violation of the Monroe Doctrine. I see no useful purpose in distinguishing in the present cir rvmstancej '. etween shipments of "defensive" and "offensive" wea pons to Cuba. (2) That the United States should make demand upon Russia and her satellites to cease forthwith to inalce such shipments OOC U BOUfltVUIUllV llU. mwv D.
