$4,000 In Area Get
Social Security

Social security insurance dollars
go to more than $4,000 people in
the Toledo area every month,
Wayne w. Putnam, manager OF
the Toledo social security office
said today.
The story of each of these 49,
600 started in the social security
field office with the issuance of
social security card. 1t reached
a milestone there with the filing
of an application for social secur-
ity benefits.
"These benefits" Putnam ex-
planned, "help keep families to.
gether when death or old age
takes away the breadwinner's pay
check. They make it possible for
children to Live at home and con-
tinue in school"
"The social security office is a
service office. From the time a
social security card is issued until
the last benefit check is mailed,
our job is to see that things go
smoothly" he said.
Remember" he concluded, "we
are in business to handle Federal
old-age and survivors insurance"

SLIGHT DIFFERENCE
One day, while visiting in
London during the 1920s,
Indian leader MohandaS K.
Gandh granted a press
interview. The reporters,
dressed in their plus fours
(baggy knickerbockers)
could not help smiling when
their host appeared wearing
legendary shorts and white
sheet.
do you think you will
ever change to Western
clothes?" asked one reporter.
What for?" Gandh re-
piled. after all, our clothes
are pretty much alike. The
only difference is that you
wear plus fours and ! wear
minus fours."
SHARING - Playwright
Noel Coward took a friend
along to the London pre-
miere Of his latest play. This
venture proved to be q dis
NAL failure. From the open

vious the show was a flop.
Throughout the perform
ance, the audience hissed
and booed.
When the members Of the
cast took their bows after
the final curtain, Coward
joined them - and was
greeted with catcalls.
Whatever made you go
out there when you knew
the play was a failure?" ex-
claimed the friend.
What did you expect me
