On Local SIS Forms
No Saturday Half Holiday for Staff Here Enrolment
Future Problem for POstmasters

Although December 5th Is the
final date for registering SS-5 So
cial security FORMS Postmaster
Charl.s A. Babin today expressed
the opinion that he and other post
masters throughout the country will
be Gale upon for years to continue
the enrolment Of employees under
the federal act. Despite the fact
that the federal social security
board is planning to set up more
than 100 regional oflces through
out the United States this fact will
not relieve the poStmasters from
their task !: cooperating with the
government bureau and getting in
the names Of new employers and
employees.
Unemployed
Many persons are out Of employ
ment at the present time, 1t was ex-
planned, When they go to work they
must file a social security number
with their employers. Having none,
they will have to file an employees
blank, for SS-5, with the post ONCE
for forwarding to the regional So
cial security office. In this way
the postrnasters will be tied in under
q perpetual system Of checking new
hired help.
Up to noon today almost 10000
SS-5 forms had been received at
the local post office. Ofacials In

FEsTIVALITEs RETURN

The Wrangell delegates to the Annual Southeastern Music Festi- val returned the last week in April after a very enjoyable and espec- ially inspiratioual week in Juneau. The delegates from each town spent each day in school just as the Ju- neau students did. and were busily aged in rehearsals and special practices during that time. The Fes- tiyal was in no way competitive as some readers believe, but was a meeting of students for the purpose of / producing three well-balanced concerts.
 The students were exeellently cared for in the homes of Juneau participants, and there was also much planned entertainment for the visitors including a trip to the Gla- cier. two senocl dances, luncheons, and a Festival Banquet at which and teachers were asked to make short speeches.
