Gastonia Social Security Office Housewives should ask their maids or other regularly employ ed household help for their so cial security account numbers as soon as they are hired. It. makes no difference how old or how young your maid is, if she works any part of 24 different days during a three-month period, and is paid at least $5000 In casn during the quarter, she is covered by the new Social Security Law. Wages reported without so cial security numbers ? or with incorrect numbers ? usually re loss of wage credits for the em ployee. Moreover, failure to in clude the maid's social security number on the wage report may call for follow-up contacts which may be bothersome to her em ployer. To avoid this, the house wife should make a permanent record of her maid's social secu rity account number, copying both the name and number di rectly from her worker's social j security card. The Gastonia Social Security office will gladly help cooks, lau nderesses, yardmen, and other workers in private households, who have never had a social se curity card, or have lost their ori ginal card. If they will come to the office they can fill out the application t-'ar.k right there. If they live at a distance from the office, they can get a blank from the post office and mail It in. Ask your employee to show out 22. He gave up 17 runs on 39 hits. Moss went 51 and two thirds innings, struck out 46 and dished out 27 passes. He gave up 41 runs on 54 hits.
