STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

Stress is being laid by the Social Security Board
on the point that its records and files confidential
In other words the information card that you send in
for your Social Security number either employee or
employer will not be revealed to any except the
Board and those officials who have the handling of
such matters There are obvious reasons for such a
policy But Columnists Drew Pearson and Robert S.
Allen, authors of the column Merry COL Round"
dropped into the Social Security Board the other day
to find for themselves if there any demand for
this secret information. What they found is both
humorous and enlightening In a recent column they
give of the following extracts from letters which
pour in daily to the Board demanding information:
From a woman: Who did my husband say
his wife is?"
Another woman: Where did my husband
say he worked and how much did he say he
is making?"
From a man: 81 received my account num-
Der the 18th. 1t had the number 10 in it.
That same day fell down and sprained my
ankle am sure these lbs were the of
all this trouble Give me another number.
Another man: MY auto number is 199867
would appreciate it very much if you would
fix it up so my social security number is the
that. am good Democrat and voted
the straight ticket"
From a mother It am writing to explain
why my daughter did not give her fathers
name. Her father and were not married and
she uses my family name.
From a divorce: my husband Joe treated
like dog. l writing to tell you that
shall insist getting half his ld-age pension
check when he becomes eligible for such pay
ments 1t is no more than my due"
From husband: IF my wife writes you
about me please don't give her any nforma-
ton. l take good of her, but she is
never satisfied The Judge warned her not
to bother me and if she writes you please
tell me and he will see to it that she does not
trouble you any more She is nosy and
greedy busybody"

CALIBAN IN THE COAL MINES

God, we don't like to complain
We know that the mine is no lark.
But-there's the pools from the rain
But-there's the cold and the dark.
God, You don't know what it is
You in Your well-lighted sky,
Watching the meteors whizz;
Warm, with the sun always by.
God, if You had but the moon
Stuck in Your cap for a lamp,
Even You'd tire of it soon,
Down in the dark and the damp
Nothing but blackness above,
And nothing that moves but the
cars
God, if You wish for u love,
Fling us a handful of stars!
