Answer-D For correct
cleaning OF the teeth a small
toothbrush is better than large

ADVICE GIVEN NEW WORKERS Obtain Social Security Number to Protect In.
 surance Rights

Men and women of all ages now obtaining or seeking jobs because of the defense program, are asked by Social Security officials to pro- tect their insurance rights under Federal old.age and survivors in. surance by accurate reporting Of their account numbers.
 "Unemployed workers or those skilled workers not now using in present jobs their skills which may be useful in defense occupations are being asked by the public enl- ployment offices to register their Social Security account numbers aS well as names and addresses" ," Robert D. Austin declared. AS manager of the Boards field office in Waterbury he urges that ell such workers apply as soon as possible for their account number cards or duplicates 50 that they may be sup. piled to them in advance of the date when they begin employment.
 '"The thousands of workers en- tering new jobs as result of the defense program, include many who are warking for the first time in employment covered by Social Sc. curity," MT. Austin pointed out. Any such worker who has never before applied for Q Social Security account number should apply inme. diately for his account number card. His age does not matter. He needs this card even If he IS under 20 years of age or over 70. This holds true for women workers, too.
 "1f a worker obtaining 6 new job has lost or mislaid his account number card for which he previ. ousiy applied, at any time he may obtain Q duplicate card without charge at any of our offices. All he needs to do Is to apply for . duplicate account number card and give the same Information which he previously provided. Tn this way, he may be sure of retaining his own number and previous wage credits. In fact, even if he has for. gotten the, number originally issued to him we can locate that number and supply him with Q duplicate card.
 "The important thing to remember Is that each worker should have only one Social Security account and report that number to each new employer exactly as t is writ. ten on his account number card" MT. Austin concluded.
 An application form for a dupli- cate account number card or for q new account number card can be secured through any field office of the Social Security Board. The of- flee in Waterbury is located in the Jones-M Morgan Building. The local telephone number is 4-084l.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Hartford, Conn, April 10. - (UP) - Several developments in the past few days have focused attention once again on Connecs ticut's merit system, or lack of 1t.
 Here is what has happened:
 Personnel Director William II. Donning will be out of e job on May 1. Governor Hurley an- structed the personnel advisory committee to act with all possible haste to hold examinations for the directors post.
 The committee invited @ staff of experts from outside the state to hold an examination on April 26 and 28. The examination will not be written, but oral. The civil service experts will submit 8 list of eligibles to the personnel ad' visory committee on April 20, and this list will not be changed in any way by the committee. It goes to the governor intact.
 The reason for haste is that the governor desires to make the nomination to the Senate by May l.
 Director Donning undeniably was disappointed at the turn of events. He hoped to continue in the post. He is reported considering taking the examination for . position he already has qualified for in previ. Ous exam.
 The next development was an- nounced by the personnel division of an examination for the post of finance director i'm the state edu- cation department.
 This immediately aroused the Ire of the personnel advisory com. mittee and undoubtedly has been, or will be shortly. called to the attention of the legislative investi. gation committee.
 Official off-the-record comments are these:
 The post of finance director in the state education department was said to have been created dur. ing the last days of the Gov. Bald win administration. Hubert Stone, formerly in charge Of reclassifica. ton, was given the post on pro. visional basis. Now an examina. ton will be held for the perrna. Yent position.
 The advisory committee was understood to be angercd by what 1t claimed to be the utter unnec. essity" of this poset. If the state education division has Q finance director, why not the motor ve. hicles department, the tax depart. ment, and others? There have been other incidents in the erucation division which have provoked some state officials and this latest effort to create post has caused criti- cisin.
 The Investigating committee, nearing the final stages of It's probe into workings of the sys- tenn probably has taken up this

 A complete censorship of news surrounds this committee. Rep. Harold E. Mitchell, R.. West Hart ford, the chairman, says nothing. The open hearing this week pros duced not much of importance, except the interesting item that the League of Women Voters had sent Q batch of letters around, urging various persons to appear In defense oe the system.
 Political quarters hear an inter. esting story that c feud has devei. oped between Mayor John W. Murphy. New Haven, and State Sen. Joseph T. Rourke, also of Ned Haven. Both are Democrats.
 Both Mayor Murphy end Sen. Rourke are labor union officials in organizations affiliated with the Connecticut Federation of Labor. The Mayor reportedly doesn't like the rapid strides being made by Sen. Rourke as q leader of labor in the New Haven dis. tsict.
 It may be deeper than this. There are some reports that Sen. Rourke may be c candidate for major some day.
 The telephone rang in the press room of she state capitol. This department answered.
 "Hello." the voice said, laughing. ly. "Thls is Jim Murphy. Is there any significance in the fact that my ticket to the Gridiron Club show is number i3?" Murphy is the governors executive secretary.
 An Investigation disclosed that some one had to get number 1S and Murphy was "It."

Ottawa, April l0.-Young mar, who outlived the heavy handicap of being son of Q famous father--that's Malcolm Mcdonald, who has ar. rived in Canada in his vital war time role as British High Commits sioner to this Dominion. J

House of Commons speeches. Mals colna soon began to earn . genuine respect for his own native ability.
 When Baldwin was succeeded in the Premiership in 1887 by the late Neville Chamberlain, the younger the Dorninions. This was a more severe test than his former post, be- cause now he had to deal with the great self-governing dominionS. He could not boss them as he could colonies. He had to walk on egg shells in his relations with govern inents which were very jealous of their own dignity, power and au- thority-aild he duly walked. Also he broke no eggshells.
 Last spring, when Winston Chur- chill became Premier, he trans fesred Macdonald to the Ministry of Health.
 DOES NOT RESEMBLE
 HIS FAMOUS FATHER
 His newest post as High Commits sioner to Canada Is equivalent to that of Q British ambassador to Q foreign country. With Canadas iin- mense and increasing war effort, the great dominion is of prime import ance to Britain. Hence, In many ways, MacD DonaldS present job Is @ promotion. Special provision has been made 50 that he will continue to hold his seat in the House of Commons, representing the Ross and Cromarty division of Scotland.
 Tn hardly any way does Malcolm MacDonsld resemble his famous father. He lacks Ramsay Macs" tall, well-bu!lt figure and nobly shaped head, with its great shock of sculpturesque hair.
 He has not got the fluent elo- uuence of his late father, nor the rich Scotch burr. Malcolm speaks more like q tootlsy Englishman. Tn fact, his teeth are prominent-uke those of Anthony Eden. But he is democratic and fr!endly-aild Lon don has gambled that he will get on swell with the Canadians.
