Many of us have felt kinda sor.
~ for the poor car washer folks
mere who are being forced to &C
out OF business because of the
water shortage. However, there
is one such operator who wouldn't
be stopped by a little thing like
a shortage Of city water. A
friend Of mine who drove his
dirty car into town last week was
amazed to find this car-washinp
station over at 46th street and
18th avenue. He rolled in and had
his car washed in less than five
minutes - then learned that the

being closed down, simply wen,

led a well, from which he is get

Conservation Notes
by A. p. Carroll

Many farmers are cooperating
with the soil conservation district
in the construction of drain dit
ches. c. L. Downer, one Of the
district commissioners and his
brother, X. F. Downer, of the
Acona community constructed
more than a mile of drag line dit
ches during December, 1949. These
bitches drain approximately $50
acres, 100 acres of pasture land
and so acres of row crop land
Mr.. Downer stated II have want
ed to dig this ditch for the past
Is years" He had observed that
the best pasture plants would not
grow on this land because it was
too wet most of the year and that
he was not able to get a crop
from the cultivated land during
wet years.
The Downer brothers have TAX

fered by the PIMA, which pays SC

this type of ditch.
j. E. Chisolm of the Richland
community constructed 1900 feet
of v type ditch. He states that
this ditch drains approximately
40 acres of land. Jessie H. Walton
of the Acona community con-
structed 1900 feet of w ditch dur
ing December, l949 and he states
that in wet years he has COM
ipletely lost crops on 10 or Is acres
of the 60 acre field by the crop
being drowned out. These crops
fail in several low places of from
lone to three acres each. These w
lditches were so located that they
ipass through these low places

Central Laundry Burns
With 100000 Loss

A fire, thought to have been
caused by oily rags, completely
destroyed the building and equip
ment of the Central Laundry and
Cleaning plant at Durant early
Sunday morning
A. E. Branch, owner and opera
tor of the plant, estimated the loss
at between $4,000 and 100000.
He said that most of the records
and trucks were saved, but that
the property was only partially
insured.
The fire started shortly after 5
am, according. to Town Marshal
w. E. Durham, and was raging
out of control when the fire de-
partment arrived. 1t was several
hours before the fire department
could bring the blaze under con-
troll.
The building was originally &C.
cupied by the Lewis Grocery Co.
Mr.. Branch plans to rebuild as
soon as possible.

Pupils To Help
Dimes Drive

The 1850 edition of the March
of Dimes coin card for school
children is ready for distribution
in Holmes county, Mr.. M. B
Brown. director of the county
campaign committee, said today
The coin cards will be distribut-
ed in schools in the county by the
March of Dimes School committee

of education authorities.
The red, white and blue card,
attractively illustrated, depicts "a
little red schoolhouse" and is
slotted in the center to hold five
dimes. These are distributed to
pupils by their class room teach
ers, returned when filled, then
handed over to the county March
of Dimes organization.
This year" Mr.. Brown said.
! ''the National Foundation for In
fantile Paralysis is emphasizing
the participation of Sabotage
groups in the March Of Dimes.
Children, particularly those in the
elementary grades, have a vital
interest in helping other children,
and it is character building to
participate in an activity of this
nature"
In direct appeal TO parents, he
said; When little Johnny comes
home with his March of Dimes
school card, please encourage his
interest in the drive. Help him
/ understand what it is and why
his contribution is important.
Make him feel that he's doing his
part - along with people Of all

Your Y! Social Security
by Mary King Temple

When we get a claim for Old
Age and Survivors Insurance be-
nefits, one of the most important
factors to be considered is the to-
tai wages that have been report
ed by the workers employers.
Since these employers reports
are so important, I want to re-
view the employers duties under
the Social Security act.
There are many new businesses
being started, so a word to the
new employer first. Some 90 into
business without realizing that
the Social Security act provides
for two separate insurance sys-
TENS for their employees - the
Federal Old-Age and Survivors
program, and the State-Federal
unemployment insurance system.
Most all business firms are con-
cerned with the Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insurance program if they
have even one employee, and even
if the work is only part-time or
temporary. Whether the en-
lpoyer comes under the state en-
ployment insurance program de-
ponds upon the state law.
The new employer should first
apply for an employers identifi-
cation number. Blanks for this
purpose may be secured from my
office or the internal revenue Of
flee. The employer should secure
the Social Security account num-
Der from each employee at the
time he goes to work, and the
name should appear on his re-
cord just as it is shown on the
card. He should insist on seeing
the employees card and not on
the memory Of the employee in
giving it. When an employer re-
ports all Social Security numbers
and names correctly, he has no
difficulty.
The collector of internal re-
venue mails the necessary blanks
to the employer before the quar-
terly reports are due. When he
gets the blanks, the employer lists
all of his employees. with their
account number and the amount
of wages paid during the quarter.
Then he mails his report with the
tax to the Collector of Internal
Revenue.
Many employers see that their
employees are properly informed
about their Old-Age and Surviv-
ors Insurance benefits. / hope
the employers will lofty us
when they believe benefits are
payable.
I will be in Lexington on the
first or third Tuesday of each
month at the Mississippi State
Employment office at 1000 am.

William MasseIos To
Give Concert Feb. 9

William Masselos, brilliant
piano vIrtuoso who will appear
an Lexington February 9, is
Considered the outstanding kew
board artist of his generation. Mr.
Masselos will be presented by the
Holmes County Municipal Con-
cert association.
Born in Niagara Falls. New
York, William Masselos' family
soon moved to Colorado Springs
Colorado. Young Masselos piano
lessons began before he was seven
years old, and in the next eight
cen months he played three pub
lie recitals in various Colorado
Springs auditoriums and was i'm
mediately proclaimed a child pro-
dizzy This came as no surprise
TO friends of the Masselos family
who were aware of the back
ground Of cultural and artistic an
probation which the boy genius
inherited from his father, a des-
cendant of French family that
settled in Greece, and from his
mother who came to America from
Holland.
When William Masselos reached
his eighth birthday his talent was
SO widely recognized that his par
ents took him to New York. en-
route to Holland, for the advice
of DR.. Frank Damrsch at the fam
ed Juilliard School of music. DR..
Damrosch suggested that young
Masselos play for julius Rontgen,
outstanding Dutch musical leader,
who later recommended that the
boy study in an accredited music
school. Thus William Masselos
became a pupil of the eminent
Carl Friedberg at the Julliard
school from which he graduated
with the highest honors at the
age of sixteen.
The Masselos concert may be
attended only by those holding
membership Identification cards
in the Holmes County Municipal
Concert association, or if mem
bers are unable to attend they may
give their cards to friends.

Television is booming but It has
been slowed. The reason: too
many stations could clutter up the
air just as radio has almost done
already. There are now about
two million television sets in the
U. S. and it is expected there will
be twice that many by the end OF
the year. But the Federal Com
munications Commission, con-
cerned with the rapid increase in
this new form of entertainment
and its possible overlapping, has
so far given permission for only
eight new television stations to be
opened in 1850. These are to be
at Portland, Oregon, Lansing,
Michigan; Nashville, Tennessee;
Ames, Iowa; Stocton, Califor-
mia; Peoria, Illinois; Norfolk,
Virginia; and st. Petersburg,
