entered in the National Capital
Model Air Show, to be held next
Sunday at Andrews Air Force
Base.
John T. Matthews, SO, of s23
Northamton drive, Silver Spring.

model. The construction plan
was based on descriptions of what
q real" flying saucer might look
like.
He expects the craft will fly
about 10 miles an hour.
However, Mr.. Matthews still
has not decided what type of
power will speed the saucer on
its flight. 1t may have a model
jet engine, a gas engine or even
q form of power using some vari-
alton Of the sky-rocket.
The saucer is 18> inches in di-
ameter, and has a maximum
thickness of 2 inches. 1t is made
Of balsa wood and will be entered
in the Beauty Glass" competition.

manager for q pump manufactur-
ing company, has been building

Here's the Truth About
SPINET PIANOS

One of my good friends recently said to me, II
want piano, but don't have room for grand
and, of course, l wouldn't buy Spnet"
'Why not?" asked. "Well," "rhe said, "Ive heard
that spinet isn't. very good musical instru-
ment"
Nothing could be farther from the truth! For
more than 20 years, about 900 of all pianos pro-
duced in America have been small verticals of the
type popularity called the "spinet." Can anyone
believe that people would have bought so many
hundreds of thousands of spinets if they were not
first-class musical instruments?
The fact is that any piano, grand, console or
spinet, is Just as good as its maker. reputable
maker will produce nothing but fine piano. An
unknown, fy-bynight manufacturer cannot
make good piano, no matter how large or pre-

Social Security Card. Then, your
right account-your account.
Your Social Security Card will
be important in identifying your
account when you file your appli-
cation for retirement benefits, or
when your family files for sur
vivors' benefits in case of your
death at whatever age.
Your Social Security card is
the key to your Social Security
account which is kept for you
by the government. 1t is one of
the most valuable things that you
own, and should be preserved
with the same care you use in
protecting your insurance policy,
your savings bonds, and other
valuable papers.
Since it costs both money and
time to issue duplicate cards, and
since both money and time are
! precious, you are urged to do
everything you can to prevent
loss of your card. If you do lose
it, however, take the lower half
! to the Social Security Administra-
ton office nearest you and re-
quest a duplicate of your COM
plete card If you do not live in
the city in which the Social Secu-
rity office is located, you can still
get a duplicate by writing to that
office. Evtn if you have lost both
parts of your card, you can get
duplicate by either visiting the
Social Security office or writ
ing that office.
You should be sure to ask for
a duplicate instead of new num-
Der, because you never need but
one number, no matter how many
different places you may work.
The issuance of more than one
number would cause YOUR &C.
count to be divided and might,
in the end mean a loss of benefits
to you or your family.

Your Social Security
BY Leon T. Klein

If someone should ask you, as
your bank book important to
YOU? "Of course it is" you
would reply - and probably add
mentally, what question,
Yes, the bank is important be-
cause it is your record of deposits
and Withdrawals you have made.
1t stands for something for
the savings you have been able
to make. Because of this, you take
good care of your bank book.
There's something also that
demands equally good care -
something that may be even more
important to the security of you
and your family. That something
else" is your Social Security Card.
1t represents your insurance poll
cy with the United States Govern
/ ment.
If you have Social Security
Card, as a employee in commerce
or industry you are one, of mil
lions of men and women who are
building individual and family
protection through the Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance program
of the Social Security Admin
stration The account number on
your card Identifies your wage
record in covered employment
which is kept by the Bureau OF
the Old-Age Survivors Insurance
Any benefits that may be paid
to you or your dependents in the
future will be based on your
wage record.
Every three months, the en-
ployer forwards the contributions
and a report of wages earned by
his employees to the Fedora
Government. It is important thai
his record be right; and there's
where the Social Security Care
, comes in. When your employer

IN their own countries. They

of war are probably more in evil
dence in Milan than in London
and new construction is going for

Probably an eighth of the Ital-
ians have been driven, largely by
extreme poverty, into the fold of
communism. The vast majority
feels as did the Italian prisoners
repatriated from Russia not so
long ago. Met at the station by
effusive commies, they proceeded
to beat UP their would-be friends.
There is no immediate danger of
Italy going communist.
Italians differ noticeably from
the Britihh in their emotional at
titude towards law and order. 1t
Is doubtful whether rationing and
other controls would work here
unless enforced by an enormous
police force. A local tobacco mer-
chant says that he can't sell Ital-
ian cigarettes because of black
market competition from Switzer-
land. The, better houses in Canzo
are surrounded by high walls and
barbed wire fences. The Car
bonts lock their outside gate and
bar the windows at night. Every
one cautions us to keep our eyes
glued on our luggage. Minor ord
finances such as those forbidding
smoking in theatres can't be en-
forced. The normal reaction seems
to be: did I make the law? No?
Then to hell with it." Very few
people pay all the taxes they are
supposed to. While the British
automatically queue up for street
car, cigarettes, or theatre, the It
alians rush in and. the devil with
the hindmost. Yet the individual
Italian have seen is tops in grace
and friendliness and so much cas-
Ter to NETT than the more reServ-
ed and disciplined Britisher.
