Newcombe Quits
Army Ball Team

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, May Il.
Big Don Newcombe, star pitcher
of the Brooklyn Dodgers while a
civilian, recently quit the Brooke
Army Medical Center baseball team
in mysterious situation, accord
ing to The Sporting News.
Along with another major league
hurler, Mary Rotblatt, white south
paw of the Chicago White Sox,
Newcombe is said to have refused
to talk about the situation.
1t seems that Newcombe and
Roblatt were given run 'oor else
orders. They apparently took the
cor else" action.
On the Newcombe side, it is also
said that Newcombe played first
base rather than pitch. He weighs
around 240 pounds, which is close
to his regular playing weight.
AS far as baseball is concerned
Newk has offers to play semi-pro
ball, but he must get army ap-
proval before playing. Currently
he hurls batting practice for the
San Antonio Missions.
Newcombe and Rotblatt expect
their army discharges in time to
report for spring training for the
1854 baseball season.

Protect Yourself
By Checking Your
Social Security

The most important thing per-
son can do to protect his insur-
ance rights under the Social Sc
curity Act is to make sure that
his social security account num-
Der is recorded correctly on re-
ports of his earnings, M. B. White,
manager Of the Jackson field of
flee Of the Social Security Admin
istration, said today.
He pointed out that it is ad-
visable for person to compare
the account number shown on his
own records, such as payroll re-
ceipts, tax withholding statements,
his self-employment income tax
return, ETC., with the number
shown on his social security ac-
count-number card. If there is a
discrepancy, he should get it cor
rected; otherwise he may not re-
ceive all the social security credit
he should for such earnings.
An individuals own personal
records of earnings are of in
lcreasing Importance because of a
feature in the law, known as "regu-
larity of employment tests. These
tests apply in cases of employ
ment on farms and in domestic
households. Work must have been
performed on a certain number of
days and a certain amount paid in
cash wages in a given period in
order for these wages to be cover
ed by the law. So, in the event a
wage Garner does not agree with
the amount reported for him, it
will be much easier to establish
whether he has a right to such
credit if he has his own records
of time worked and wages paid.
Mr.. White said that a worker
may check on the status of his
social security account at any time.
He should do so at least once every
three years.

It was The Flag that brought the North and South

This modern day is calling fol
brains
Young men and degrees as well
They have made law for a GER
tain age
And the old men are in dispel.
Why make a law and break it
The Hen lays her eggs and does
the same
There are very little hearts that
are making laws
It's an Egg shell law with Brain.
The Lord he asks for the hearts
of men
Now men are asking for the brains
Brains will adder like a nest of
eggs
And sometime go insane.
You are leaving Christ out of
your home
And out of our schools as we'll
The hypocrits are putting Christ
out of the Church
And in the Church raising He'll.
| am not the only one who sees the
Church
There are others who see the same
But there are so many hypocrits
in the Church
You are afraid to call their name,
My people we have got to separate
AS God has said as well
Unless we obey the will of God
Somebody is going to He'll.
Why not we, get our hats today
And walk out in Jesus's name
Stop these Bastards in Gods house
When we know that it is a shame
The Ten Generations of a Bastard
Shall not stand with Gods people
at all
Claiming God for their father
Some preaching and claiming Gods
call.
The Bible says we would know
our people
My people be fair with God, do
right
Stop taking the world into Gods
house
And we will have no more Church
house fight.

When historians meet, the mat

that Paige has worked a record

five to seven days week without

these games, it is estimated, in

ing preachers, teachers, manage

he said: you probably wonder
what are the ambitions of man
like me. suppose I'm not much
different from you. Usually we
fellows in the plant want to bet
ter ourselves, make more money,
have higher standard of liv.
ing for ourselves and our fami-
lies.
"The first thing the average
employee wants is job security.
When a man feels his job is
secure, not subject to someone
else's whim, he's going to be
a more loyal employee and take
more interest in his job, the
quality Of the work he does.
Most of the men l know who
work in factory jobs today ma
turally want a good standard of
living, they want a job which
enables them to make payments
m a home, to have an automo.
bile, to lay aside little for va
cations, recreations, and the ed
ucation Of their children. After
security in Importance are good
living wages and opportunities
for advancement. Progress or
promotion, or recognition Of a
job we'll done, usually helps a
mans morale.
Retirement security is an
other important consideration IN
every workers nind. None OF
us can 60 on working forever.
We like 10 think that while cur
youth is slipping away we are
helping to build financial secur-
ity for our old age. People want
to be financially Independent OF
worry in their old age, and act
ually most of them would like
to be building that security
while they are able to work, 50
they can be Independent in their
old age, through their own ef-
forts, and not have to depend on
some form of government aid.
Likewise it would be diff.
| cult for me to rest if l had to
worry about my hospital bills
| medical bills, and medicine, plus
the fact that, with such bills
/ might not have the money &c
pay for groceries and the other
necessities of living. l honestly
feel that industry today coulc
make a worthy contribution by
taking the lead in this field Of
insurance coverage, helping te
find and establish an insurance
program that is good for them
