Suppose you were offered a

have to show your Social Secu-
rity card to your new employer.
But. where is that card? Is It
worn out in your pocket? Is IL
stuck away somewhere at home
where you can't find 1t?
Thirteen bullets could be
bought for what it costs to re-
place one lost card. Last year
American workers lost or wore
out two million cards that cost
a half million dollars to replace.
That money could have bought
$50 jeeps for the Army.

secondly, Herndon's growing con-

MISSION HAZARDOUS
Last December we learned of five
colored soldiers who took 81 mil
limeter gun along with a party OF
Australian soldiers into the Jap
populated Owen-Stanley mountain
range to knock out a Nipponese
mountain gun. The facts Of the
articles were somewhat confused
resulting in the main theme being
story of a lost gun crew. Later,
the group returned to their home
unit. Following this. their organ1-
cation, which was an engineer out
fit, was dispersed into scattered
groups all over the island. For
months I have been trying to find
the man who took this hazardous
mission into the Owen Stanley.
