Circuit Rides Again
BY EVELYN WEAVER


1t always does my heart good
to know that there are some of
you folks who read my column
and keep up to date on some of
the happenings in the Methodist
church in this county. One such
person called me the other day
to discuss the May 5 date with
me. You remember that that is
our Missionary Banquet to be
held in Dexter City. This week
end, you will be getting the rest
OF the details on it. The cost of
the dinner and registration is
rs cents.
All Methodist youth and their
counSelors are invited to this
banquet. At the time of the ban
quet, you will also be expected
to make your next years youth
fund pledge. This past years
pledge was not too high. This is
our missionary pledge, you will
remember. Many of our county
youth fellowships have paid up
their last years pledge and a
couple have gone over the
amount. Let's make this year one
hundred percent. There are
eleven MYF groups in the
county; therefore, we should
have ten groups represented at
the banquet and eleven youth
fund pledges. Even though you
give only $500, that will be a
representation at least.
am going to list all the MYF
groups in the county SO that you
will know who you are:
Belle Valley, Bells, Caldwell,
Jr, Caldwell, Sr., Dexter City,
Harriettsville, Mt. Ephraim, Sar-
ahSville, Summerfield, Hoskins-
vile and KeithtoWn.
Let us not forget, women. that
the district Woman's Society is
holding its annual spring meet
ing in Cambridge on Wednesday.

air bases and on direct flight line
to Washington, and the manning
of the post at all hours is of the
gravest Importance. 1t is expect
ed that an impetus will be given
under Mrs. Hudson's leadership to
achieve complete manning of the
post, but the cooperation and help
of all citizens is needed and urged.
Staff Sergeant Burlen e. Johnson,
of the Baltimore FILTER Center, who
showed films and talked last win
ter at the Twentieth Century Club
on the need for volunteers for this
important phase of this country's
defense, listed the requirements
needed to be an observer as keen
eyes, sharp ears, and voice to re-
port" He emphasized the neces-
sity of the post being manned, and
answered the often asked question
of why civilians are needed by say
ing that the cost to the military of
manning all of the posts would be
exorbitant and would result in
greatly increased taxes.

SAFETY TIPS
Safety Council Head Warns
Against stretching
Time Too Far"
BE SAFETY CONSCIOUS

"Time isn't made of elastic min
utes, so don't try to stretch
your vacation time too far" Reyn-
olds DUPONT, President of the Della
ware Safety Council made that
suggestion Monday to eager vaca-
ton motorists who try to cover too
much territory in a limited vaca-
tion period. 'The purpose of a
vacation is to relax, and you can't
relax if you're in perpetual
hurry" Mr.. DUPONT said. "In fact
that's about the best way to bring
on a case of frazzled nerves or,
much more dangerous, to invite an
automibile accident" Mr.. DUPONT
believes that many vacation traffic
accidents could be avoided if mo-
torists would be less mileage con-
scious and more safety conscious.
Wise motorists plan their trips
carefully in advance" Mr. DUPONT
said. "They check road routes, de-
eide how far they can travel COM
fortably each day, and stay within
that limit. They know that driv-
ing when fatigued is flirting with
disaster" According to the Della
ware Safety Council, careful driv-
ers also check their cars before

His name was Smith, and his

had christened him John. A good
solid name that goes back to The
Fathers, and beyond.
But Mr.. Smith lost his identity
when he neglected to put his social
number on the tax return
at the time he made the social Sc
curity report on self-employment
last March. Now the social secur-
ity people are trying to pick him
out from among the 1,287, ,315
other persons named Smith for
whom social security accounts are
kept. The first name, John, doesn't
help much. There are 9,345 John
Smiths to whom social security ac-
count numbers have been issued.
They'll get him straight, but it will
take time and trouble for all con-
cerned, including Mr.. Smith, and
it will cost some social security
