abridged either by those who are
sworn to uphold them or by those
who would use them t. cloak malicious
acts. We must insist on the rigorous
persecution of all subversive elements
but by due process OF law.
1t is important TO remember, much
as we may condemn totalitariansm
for it's methods and objectives, that
totalitariansm abroad is a result Of
conditions and causes in postwar
Europe. So, too, let US be mindful
that the menace to American democ-
racv is not alone from without, but as
we'll from within.
1t is evident the movement Of de-
struction is rampant throughout the
world. The philosophy Of despair has
it's fantastic adherents everywhere.
And the lean body is easy prey to the
teachings Of reaction masked under
pretense Of progress. Those who see
wisely into the future must, if we
are to be saved from fires more con-
suming than those we have known,
so shape our course as to offer this
hideous wrath of destruction no foot
hold.
This is a time when all of US must
take counsel together not Of our fears
but of our faith in those immutable
principles of liberty and of democracy
which after all undergrad our western
civilization.
American labor is making it's CON
tribution to the economic, religious
social and cultural foundation and Sc
curity Of our democracy which can
hardly be overestimated. Labor's con
tribution to American democracy has
been impressive, far-reaching and con-
tinuous. 1t is contribution which
begins with the very beginning OF
America and will continue so long as
America continues to exist. For the
labor movement partakes of democ.
racy. Democracy is the life of the
laborf movement; it is as well as one
of it's surest guarantors.
William Gladstone said more thar
three generations ago: "The trade
union is the very bulwark of democ.
racy." Bulwark, indeed. 1t is, ! re
peat, the rock upon which the move
ment of labor has been founded-it
is in turn the very foundation of {
| truly democratic society.

Wages Of each employe covered by
old-age and survivors insurance are
credited to his account every three
months as employers reports are re-

In nearly all instances the employees
wages are reported under the name

they are shown on his account number
card, and they are added on his ledger

check must be made to clean up the
error.
This necessitates asking the employ
er to check back on his records and
frequently he must cali on the en-
ploye, if still in his employ, to get
the correct information. This annoy
ance and waste Of time can be avoided
if the employe and employer will take
the simple precaution Of seeing that
the employees correct name and social
security number are reported. If the
mistake cannot be corrected, it might
mean that some of the employees
wages could not be credited to him.
Since the amount Of insurance
benefits for the worker or his family
will be based on his wages, it is i'm
portant that the Social Security
/ Boards record Of his wages be ac-
curate and complete.

Many workers are now changing
jobs or taking their first job as a
result of the national defense pro-
gram. Most of these jobs are covered
by oldage and survivors insurance
under the Social Security Act.
A series of eight brief articles has
been prepared for the Potters Herald
explaining the steps each worker
should now take in connection with
his social security account to avoid
delays or difficulties when he or his
family are ready to collect insurance
benefits.
Any worker who does not have a
social security account number card
can obtain one at the Social Security
Board office.
