Your editor and l have had many
conversations about Old-Age and

were prompted by his interest in a
program that so vitality affects his
fellow citizens. He wants to know
how it is being administered in his
and your County, and he wants
YOU to know your rights and how
to protect them. These are the rea-
sons why he gives space for my ar
ticles. This interest is wholesome
attitude-but one / don't want limit

igram-how it applies to you and
your family. 1t is impossible for me
to talk to each of you, but you can
let me know what's on your mind

Administration, "a w. Washington
Street, Hagerstown.
Aslot of people have wrong ideas
about this Social Security, and it's
these wrong ideas which keep them
from seeing about the payments
which may be coming to them. Now,
no matter what you have been told
by others, when you become IS, if
you have worked in private indus
try since January /, 1887, stop in to
see me. And tell your wife and the
Others of your family to be sure to

surance is provided for you by law
if you qualify. We who administer
this law are working for you. We

tons to answer your questions and
we want to do so. 1t doesn't cost
