CRED1TING OF EMPLOYEES
WAGES FOR 1887 TO SOCIAL
SECURITY ACCOUNTS
COMPLETED

The crediting of each en-
ployee's wages received during
1887 to his social security account
under the old-age insurance system
is now completed, according to a
statement received from the Soc
ial Security Board by Mr.. Luther
Becker, Manager of the Board s
office in Baltimore. When the Board,
working at the rate of over mil
lion a day, finished recording the
wage items reported by employers
for 1897, it completed the first phase
of the worlds largest bookkeeping
job.
Since the amount of each en-
ployee's old-age insurance benefits
will be determined by his total
wages received in employment COW
cred by the system, separate wage
account, identified by an account
number, is maintained for each one
of the many millions of workers I'M
der the system.
Each worker under the old-age in
surance system is accommodating
credits, on the basis of his wages,
toward a monthly old-age retirement
income. If the wages the employee
receives by the time he reaches age
IS and the time worked do not quail
ify him for a monthly retirement
income, or If he dies prior to re-
ceiving the minimum amount to
which his wages entitle him, the
system provides for single pay
ment, based on the total amount of
his wages, to the worker or his heirs,
as the case may be.
The wages received by each en-
ployee in occupations covered by the
olg-age insurance system are regu-
larly reported to the government by
employers. During 1887, the first
year the system was in operation,
employers reported their employees
wages every six months, but under
a change i'm regulations, effective the
first of this year, these reports are
now made every three months. En-
ployers' wage reports are filed with
the Collector of Internal Revenue
as part of their tax returns. These
reports are checked against tax re-
turns by the Bureau of Internal Rev.
enue and then turned over to the
Social Security Board for the re-
cording of each employees wages to
his account.
A lag of about 6 months will al
ways occur between the end of the
period for which wages are report
ed and the recording of employees

real interest to every housewife in
this vicinity when it made public the
date of the semi-annual Dollar Day

Edward A. Munich, well-known
business executive, is chairman.
Cooperation of the Bureau of
City Police has been accorded

parking regulations, which will be
a courtesy highly appreciated by
shoppers. There is published in this
issue coupon which, IL clipped out
and pasted on the windshield, will
permit parking in Wilmington as
long as necessary, without police in

mediation since IL will permit the
thoughts of the shopper to be con-
centrated on her purchases and not
ON her watch.

Wilmington merchants are making
every possible effort to make the

stirring up the water so that other
fish neighbors cannot exist. This Is
not intentional. Of course. Rather
it is the result of the carp feeding on
wild celery and grasses which they
love but which have their roots in
the oozy mud bottom.
Though the meat of the carp is
coarse. over 25.000.000 pounds ara
shipped to the market from the Cen
tral States annually, and millions Of
young carp are shipped to plant in
streams and ponds.
The mirror carp Is most decorative
in appearance. At one time, be-
cause of his size and the number
Of young fry each year, this carp
was cultivated on an extensive scale
as food fish. The average weight
of an adult was about 40. pounds.
A fish Of this size can supply many
steaks and is fine fish to land. His
determination to gain his freedom, his
weight and his willy tricks have won
for him many admirers. However,
there are so many fish that have
more tender, delicious flesh that the
mirror carp gradually lost favor. and
his many relatives have overshadowed
his popularity.
The mirror carp has thin lips,

of the lower lip meeting in a wide

CONGESTION
Is REVEALED
in SURVEY

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-Preva-
lence of congested and unsanitary liv-
ing conditions in the SO cities covered
by the National Health Survey of
1935-36 in conclusive proof of the vast
need for new housing accommodations,
particularly for families of medium
and low income, Federal Housing Ad-
ministrator Stewart Mcdonald de-
clared here.
Findings of the survey, published
recently by the u. S. Public Health
Service, show, Mcdonald said, that
over-crowding is prevalent in cities of
every size and in every section of
the country. While wide variations
were noted in the percentage of fam
lilies living in over-crowded quarters,
the survey demonstrates that the
problem is common to small cities as
well as large metropolitan centers.
A similar conclusion can be drawn
from figures on the adequacy of sani-
tary facilities, although large-city
families are in somewhat more
favorable position than those living
in communities of $4,000 or less.
Poor Not Only Class Affected
$50 far as the building industry is
concerned, the most valuable informa-
tion to be derived from the survey is
that on the relative desirability of liv-
ing conditions of families falling in
various income groups" the admin
istrator said.
As was to be expected, crowded and
unsanitary conditions are most preva-
lent in the large group of families
receiving incomes of $1,000 or less per
annum, but even among the more ia
vorably situated families, living condi-
tions often leave much to be desired.
In many of the smaller cities, for
example, large proportion of the
families receiving annual incomes of
$1,000 to $4,000 live in quarters served
by inadequate sanitary installations.
In number of these smaller centers,
even a substantial number of the fam
lilies in the $4,000 to $4,000 group live
in houses which are inadequately pro-
vided with sanitary facilities.
Big Market Neglected
1T must be remembered that the
group of families in the fairly high
economic levels, which the survey
finds to be housed adequately, in most
instances, compose the market for
which the building industry has con-
sistently produced a supply of rental
and for sale accommodations.
'This survey merely highlghts the
fact that the industry has neglected,
in large part, the group of families
which form one of the most fertile
markets for its products. Unless this
condition is rectifed, we viii continue
to have over building in some brackets
and unsatisfactory conditions in other
brackets"
