SOCIAL SECURITY
ACCOUNT NUMBERS
FAR OVER $4,000

More than $4,000 men and women
in Maryland now have Social Security
account numbers.
A few workers who could qualify
for old-age insurance and who have
not as yet secured their Social Secur-
ity account numbers, remain in this
State.
Each worker in covered employment
should have an account number wheth
err he is the only employee, or is one
of hundred. Workers in small es-
Establishments such as barber shops,
bootblack parlors, bakeries, drug,
grocery, or general merchandise
stores, service stations, as we'll as en-
ployees of doctors, dentists, lawyers
and of other professional people, are
included.
Each wage-earner must have an
account number in order that his Soc
ial Security account may not be con-
fused with any other. Employers
must know the account number of
each and every person on their pay
rolls, because they must give those
numbers when they make their wage
reports to the Government. The
amount of each employees wages is
credited to the Social Security ac-
count bearing his number. His wages
are posted on this ledger.
The total amount of wages received
by an employee on jobs covered by
the Social Security Act, from the last
day of 1886 until he is 65 years old,
will be used in calculating the amount
of his old-age insurance payments
when such benefits fall due.

WASHINGTON, March Tt is getting these days so person can hardly stick his face in the Senate or House restaurants with out somebody poking free sam pie of some home-state pride under his nose.
 For a long time the only regular contribution of something free to eat was the strawberries which Senator Townsend of Delaware brought along every spring from his ocean-side farm. They were luscious strawberries, and nobody thought to challenge the priority of the treat by offering something claimed to be better and finer from South Carolina or Paducan.
 But along came Idaho tno re- specter or priorities) this winter. and blanketed Congress knee deep in potatoes. Potato eating contests were held in the House restaurant, and everybody was happy except Maine and Representative Clarke of Idaho. Clarke saw the news play on the story stolen by Representa- tive White, who comes from the northern district of Idaho, which produces only one potato where Clarke's district produces a hun dred.

Aroostook County, but so far as we know it never did on large scale That was not the end, by any means. Senator Byrd came forward with some Virginia apples from his Winchester estate. and Florida and California brought in oranges and grapefruit in such profusion that page boys were carrying them around the railways in clusters to feed their favorites among the clerks.
 Even that was to bring no peace. Wisconsin for long time has had a priority on the Senate restaurant cheese shelves with a paper yellow cheese having a flavor that spoke of willowy bends along the creek and grassy woods and butterflies. Not content to let a good north woods state wear it's laurels, Sen ators Wagner and Copeland of New York suddenly confronted the Sen ate restaurant public with samples of cheese from that state of the sparkling lakes, skyscrapers and tootling ship whistles.
