OLD-AGE
INSURANCE PLAN
THREE POINTS LISTED WHICH
WILL ASSIST EMPLOYERS
IN COMPLIANCE

Three points are emphasized by
Newton r. HOlcOmb, manager OF
the social security boards Helena
field office, observance of which
will assist employers in complying
with the federal Old-age insurance
plan.
"Our office has received numerous
incomplete forms SS-5, worker appll-
cations for account number, filed by
employers under authority given in
treasury regulations" Mr.. Holcomb
said. I'VE cannot assign account num-
bers because there is insufficient in
formation furnished upon which to
make a positive Identification of the
workers involved"
Mr.. Holcomb'S three points are:
l. The employer, in failing to require
each employe to file application and
secure an account number, has obi
gated himself to file for such employe,
thus causing himself otherwise unnec-
eSSary work.
2. In failing to secure from his en-
ploye sufficient information to permit
a positive identification he has made
it impossible for the board to assign
an account number.
3. His employe, from whom tax has
been collected, cannot be credited with
the amount of wages reported until
such time as positive Identification of
the worker can be established.
MI. Holcomb reminds employers that
the next information returns are not
due until on or before Jan. 81, 1888.

to pleasure and entertainment at home.
Too, nearly every home has some kind
of musical instrument. Along this line,
Mrs. Tuller said, there Is group sing

with developed talent there is part

What to Do
And what can the family do to have
fun at home? Here are some SUCCESS

specialist said, and nearly every D.

occasions.
Games Popular
Games are one OF the most popular
forms of entertainment for an entire
family and in them all can enter in
the real spirit of play.
Reading Is another activity from
which the whole family may benef1t.
A very worthwhile feature is the giving
of book reviews by different members
of the family. This is excellent memory

book stays in the mind longer by telling
others about it. Reading aloud is an
other good activity.
Closely allied with the enjoyment of
good music and good reading is the

home teaches us to enjoy. them, she
said. County and community libraries
have books containing reproductions
of well known paintings and short ar
ticles about the artists, she said.
Handicrafts and hobbies are other
sources of pleasure, but Mrs. Tuller
warns that these should not be prac-
ticed to the exclusion of many other
things that are worthwhile doing.
Other sources of family fun which
Mrs. Tuller suggests are picnic suppers
at home, listening to worthwhile radio
programs, and, Of course, the celebra-

days, anniversaries and holidays.

his or her home and find many worth

a persons cultural side and at the

hours, Mrs. Tuller believes.

100 IN TRAINING

The state department OF vocational rehabil-

will be fitted to take places in industrial

during 1887, according to State Supervisor
Lief Fredericks. Most of those in training
are in educational institutions. The majority
of them have disabilities resulting from in
