This was written and composed
entirely by my mother, and it will
be a pleasure for her to know,
that it will be inserted in your
fine publication.
Mothers father was George
Washington Ferguson and her
mother, Hannah Adelia Dunbar
Ferguson. / understand that Mr.,
Ferguson was respected and low
ed by all who knew him in Key
West, where he is now buried, in
the Island home he loved so well,
and did so much to pioheer in the
early and later days of his life.
My mother is the last of all of
her family and is mentally bright
and alert, can read, write, sew
and is unusually nimble and ac-
tive on her feet for one of her adj
vanced age of 80 years.
There is no doubt but that
some are still living now in Key
West, who will remember her as
"a little girl and young lady, and
to those who would care to write
to her, she would be delighted to
hear from them and to answer
any letters sent to her.
The address is No. 81 Elinor
Pic, Yonkers, N. Y. Her old
home has long since been taken
down and understand a govern
ment warehouse is erected upon
the spot at present.

She has numerous pictures of
the old homestead and other build
ings, also old time ships that we
could build up another story
around for a future issue, if you
would like.

Woman Saved Crown Jewels

When Cromwell was Lord Protec-
tor of England he sent an expedition
to Scotland because the Scots had
brought Charles II from exile in 1851
and crowned him. Cromwell also
wanted the crown jewels. The wife
of the pastor of the church at Kin
neff Parish struggled them through
the British lines and her husband
buried them in the walls of his
church. They remained hidden until
Scotland consented to a parliament
tary union with England. One of
the provisos of the agreement was
the jewels were never to leave the
country. The jewels were taken to
Edinburgh castle and have been on
public view since 1877, which action
was taken on orders of King

Why We Have "Best Man"
at Wedding Ceremonie

The custom of having best man
at weddings is believed to be a sur
vival of primitive marriage by cap
ture, when a man seized a woman
and carried her away by force,
states a writer in the Indianapolis
News. He would naturally, under
such circumstances, select a faith
full friend or follower to go with him
and ward off the attacks of the
girls kinsmen while he stole away
with her. Thus the appearance Of
the bridegroom with his groomsman
or best man at the brides home
really represents prehistoric
marauding expedition.
The term "best man" is Of Scotch
origin and probably does not date
back farther than the Eighteenth
century.

Questions And Answers
WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT SOCIAL
SECURITY

Q. 113 Why should l tell my
Social Security Account number to
my employer?
A. 113 SO that your employer
can report accurately your wages by
your number as we'll as by your
name, thus giving double assurance
individual account and not to some
one else who may have name like
yours. No one else has the same
number you have.
@. ia Will l lose my oldage
insurance If my employer doesn't pay
the tax he should?
A. No. The amount of your old
age insurance depends on amount of
wages and not on the amount of tax
your employer pays. But if your EN-
ployer doesn't pay the tax the law
requires him to pay 1t is likely that
he also will fail to report the amount
of your wages. If you have good rea-
son to believe your employer is not
making the proper reports of the tax
es he deducts from your wages you
could report the facts to the Col
lector of Internal Revenue for this
section.
@. 115 What is the age limit for
benefits under the unemployment
compensation law?
A. 115 There is no age limit for
benefits under the unemployment
compensation law.
O. 116 What are now being paid
in lump-sum payments to eligible
workers who reached age IS after
January /, 1897 and to relatives or
estates of workers who have died
since December 81, 1896?
A. The amount Of the lump-sum
payment is 31a per cent of the wage
received in covered employment be-
tween December 81, 1886, and the
day the worker reaches IS or dies.
In each case the eligible person must
file an application for claim with
the Social Security Board for the
sum due him. Get in touch with your
nearest Social Security Board Field
Office where you will be assisted in
filing a claim. There is no charge for
this service.
@. III How many States have
unemployment compensation law?
A. 1T All the States, the Dis
trict of Columbia, Alaska and Hawaii
have unemployment compensation
laws which are part of the nation
al movement to combat unemploy-
ment through the Social Security
Act Each State administers its own
unemployment compensation law.
