Sympathy
My sympathy is extended to
members of the Gill family
upon the recent home-going
of Mr. Gill.
For many years, as most of
you know, Ridgecrest was my
home and this good family
was our next-door neighbors.
Mr. Gill was one of the finest
Christian men I have ever
known and one who had love
in his heart for his fellowman.
I shal' ever forget the many
kindr es shown by him dur
ing tut sickness and deaths
of both my parents. Having
known and associated with
this good family will always
be one of my most cherished
memories.

By
D. C. Nichols

If you asked a farmer how
many head of cattle he had,
chances are he’d be able to
tell you exactly how many he
had. If you asked the average
man how much money he has
in the bank, you could get an
accurate answer here too. If
he has anything in the bank,
he’ll know how much (of
course, he might not feel like
telling you!).
People usually keep pretty
good track of things like cat
tle and money because these
things are so important to
them—they are assets. And,
whether it’s cattle or money,
apple trees or tractors, the
average person tries to keep
tract of his economic assets.
There is one asset, howev
er that is frequently forgot
ten-, that is the social securi
ty account. Many people
couldn’t tell you how much
credit they have earned under
social security—they couldn’t
even tell you if they’ve gotten
any credit at all under social
security.
This is a bad situation be
cause many workers and their
families are depending on
social security. They take for
granted that when the time
comes social security benefits
will be there for them. Uu
fortunately, many families
have discovered that social
security isn’t something that
you can take forgranted. So
cial security is a program that
requires the continuing co
operation of everyone involv
ed in it. This means the em
ployer, the employee, the self
employed, and the Social Se
curity Administration—with
each one playing an impor
tant part.
As you know, whether you
work for someone else or for
yourself, your earnings in
work covered by social secur
ity are supposed to be re
ported to the Social Security
Administration. We keep a
record—though your working
years—of all your earnings
under social security and, ba
sed on this record, benefits
are paid to you, the worker,
and your family upon retire
ment, death, or disability
provided all other require
ments of the law are met.
The important point to
remember about all this is
that unless you have enough
earnings reported to your so
cial security account, no so
cial security benefits can be
paid to anyone.
Although most peoples’ soc
ial security records are cor
rect. from time to time we
run across a person who dis
covers that his record is not
correct. Usually, we can
straighten the matter out
and no harm is done. Hut
sometimes a social security
record may be incorrect and
we can’t straighten it out
and, as a result, in some cases
the worker and his family
may be unable to get social
security benefits. We advise
you to check your social
security account at least
once every 3 years. You will
be sent a statement showing
the amounts of earnings
credited to your social secur
ity account. If it is correct,
you’ 11 have the peace of
mind of knowing it. And, if
it’s not correct, you can con
tact the Social Security Ad
ministration and together we
can take steps to correct
your record.
So don’t let your social
security account be your
“forgotten asset”—it’s too
important. You can check
your social security account
by writing to Social Security
Administration, Baltimore 35,
Maryland and asking for a
statement of your account.
You can get an addressed
postcard form at your Soc
ial Security office for use in
requesting this information.
Don’t forget, check your soc
ial socurity at least once
every three years! This is
particularly important if you
have worked for an employer
who, you think, may not have
deducted and reported soc
ial security.
