age, quits his job, and applies for
monthly benefits, he should be paid
the exact amount due him.
If he should die, the benefits paid
to his survivors will depend, like
wise, upon the wages credited to the
deceased workers social security &C
count. That is why the Social Secur-
ity Board takes extra precaution to
safeguard the social security ac-
count of every wage Garner listed
on it's books. 1t is also the reason
why every employer subject to the
law must include in his quarterly
social security tax report to the
Government the name, the social
security account number, and the
wage earnings of each worker in his
employ.

Social Security
Tax Returns Due

Employers, subject to the insur-
ance provisions of the Social Secur-
ity Act will send to the Government
their quarterly tax returns on or
before midnight, April 80. Many
business and industrial concerns are
now checking their records to make
sure that they have all data requir-
ed for these wage reports.
Dwight B. Billings, manager of
the Hagerstown office of the Social
Security Board said, in this connec-
ton, that most employers in this
area are very careful to include the
names and the social security ac-
count number, as well as the wages
paid to each employee during the
quarter, but there are still a few
who do not realize that the law
applies to every business or indust
rial establishment-even though
there is only one worker employed.
Mr.. Billings called attention to
the fact that most firms took on new
workers during the first quarter of
1945, and it is especially necessary
that the name and account number
of each of these new employees
should be included in the tax re-
turns for January, February, and
March. He explained that a record
of the wages each worker receives
in jobs that come under old-age and
survivors insurance is kept for him
by the Social Security Board. This
wage record will be used later as
a means of determining the amount
of the benefits payable to him or to
his family when he is old or when
he dies. An individual account is
kept for each worker whose name
appears on the books of the Social
Security Board. The workers name
and number that is assigned to
him by the Board are printed at the
top of his ledger sheet and inscribed
also on record cards that are kept
on file.
Wage data must be accurate be-
cause the amount of benefits to be
paid to each qualified claimant is
based on his own wage record

Prompt and accurate registration
of all births is the special aim of
Child Health Day, 1945, according
to an announcement by DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health About 81 per cent
of births in Maryland are now regis
tered in babyhood-one of the best
records in the South; but birth GER
tificates are so important that even
a 3 per cent failure cannot be toler-
ated. To indicate how the Depart
ment is working to improve regis
tration DR.. Riley quoted the follow
ing statement of DR., A. W. Hedrich,
Chief of the Bureau of Vital Stats
tics:
" "A Birth Certificate for Every
Baby in the US.A.' is the goal form
ulated by the United States Chill
dren's Bureau, the agency sponsor
ing the annual observance of Child
Health Day on the first day of May.
'In Maryland we are re-organiz-
ing procedures in an effort to send
a Birth Registration Notice to par
ents much more promptly-in two
weeks or less if possible. In our
State, as in most others, it is the
duty of physicians and other attend
ants to forward birth certificates
within four days to Local Registrars,
of whom there are nearly 900 in
Maryland. Heretofore, these regis
trars have been required to trans
NIT the certificates to the State De-
partment once each month. This
has greatly retarded mailing of the
Birth Registration Notices to par
ents, who often need them for ration
books, war allowances for families
of service men, and other purposes.
Acting under a provision of the
Vital Statistics Act, DR.. Riley has
authorized the Bureau of Vital
Statistics to request Local Regist-
rars to mail birth and death certi-
ficates to this Department daily in
stead of monthly.
'This system of daily transmits
sion, first tried and found satisfac-
tory in Anne Arundel County and
in six cities, will greatly speed the
process of registration. The coop
Grafton of physicians and Local Reg

Health Department Urges Prompt And
Accurate Registration of All Births

istrars should make it possible to
send parents the Birth Registration
Notices within two weeks after the
child's birth.
Mothers and fathers can help
babies to obtain accurate birth GER
tificates without delay. First, par
ents should decide upon boys
name and a girls name before the
child is born. This will enable the
doctor to make out and file a COM
plete birth certificate Immediately.
If parents do not receive the antici-
pated Birth Registration Notice be-
fore the infant is two weeks old.
they should ask the doctor or md
wife whether the birth has been re-
ported, or they may write to the
State Registrar of Vital Statistics in
Baltimore.
Parents, physicians and others
concerned with the welfare of chill
dren may well consider prompt and
accurate registration of all births
an objective worthy of their atten-
ton. An authentic birth certificate
will be a valuable document on the
many occasions when it is necessary
to prove age, parentage or citizen
ship. Lack of a birth certificate
is certain to be nuisance at some
future date, and may be a severe
handicap to the unfortunate person
whose arrival was not recorded"

trars and deputy registrars for

Not To Be Trusted

letter with, groan.

lady reader had written very conf
dentially, land now have the offer
of the fourth. Shall l accept him?''
The editor dipped his pen in the
ink. This was the last straw.
eff you have lost three husbands, y
he wrote, II should say you are
much too careless to be trusted with
the fourth"

Judge, remember that place up in the noun

Il sure do, George. We had great time
up there, didn't WEI"
"Ill never forget it. But this will interest
you, Judge. heard just yesterday that the
revenue men raided a big still right near
there. Guess that's where all that high
priced moonshine we heard about has been
coming from"
Wouldn't be a bit surprised. saw in the
paper the other day where the Government
has raided thousands of such stills during
the past year."

Never missed a Saturday at Sc
wards Creek. But come the war,
and Bob's son going off in uni.
form, he just lost interest in
things like fishing.
But the other day Bob got q
letter from the South Pacific
-. kind of a hOmeslck letter:
"I'm thinking of you, Dad, fish,
ing in Stewards Creek; cooking
trout over an open fire; and
keeping the beer cool In the

Sounds sort of reminiscent, doesn't it,
Judge?"
Exactly and it's not hard to figure out.
AS soon as the distillers stopped making
whiskey and devoted their entire facilities to
the production of industrial alcohol for the
Government i. . the racketeers muscled in
again"
Il hate to think of how that might have
spread, Judge, if the Government hadn't
found it possible, without interfering with
our war effort in any way. to permit a
short resumption of legal whiskey produc-
ton recently"
