The Vice President was review

to keep this prestige high, we

Africa on the same footing as

He also asked for assistance to

He called for, too, greater "inter-

Information On }
Social Security
BY Luther N. Davis

What proofs do l have to have
to get Social Security" is one of
the most frequently asked ques-
tons we get in the Social Security
office here. 1t is especially impor-
tant to women now that they may
receive benefits at age 81 instead
of IS. Knowing what proofs to
submit saves time and speeds
benefit payments.
AS to proof of age, bring an old
and reliable document. If you
have it, bri3ng your birth certifi-
cate or baptismal record. If not,
the family Bible or an old life
insurance policy will do very we'll
in fact any document that is
both old and reliable will be of
help.
Women applying as widows,
who have never filed as wives,
should also bring some proof of
their marriage. If the marriage
certificate has been misplaced,
you may obtain a certified copy
of the marriage record from the
county courthouse. In some in
stances, widows are also required
to submit proof of age-so bring
some proof along when they come
in to file an application.
Anyone who has a problem on
age or marriage proofs should
telephone or write the Social Sc
curity Administration in Hatties-
burg.

Draws Thousands
OF Siqhtseers

CORNWALL. Ontsrio.-Im-
pressive developments now
being carried out along the st.
Lawrence River, in connection
with the seaway and power
projects. are attracting an ever
increasing number of visitors
to this area.
Conducted tours by the On
tario Hydro Commission have
proven so attractive that the
commission has opened q
second information center at
Cornwall, Ontario. just west of
the Roosevelt International
Bridge, on Highway No. 2. The
first center is located on the
nearby construction site of the
Ontario p0werhouses.
In addition to guided tours
along the International Rapids
section Of the river. guides at
the centers explain the work
and problems involved in shift
ing whole towns and facilities.
Huge maps. photographs and
a short film trace the various
stages of development. Some
100000 persons visited the
power project in 1856 and
present. indications are that this
figure will be far surpassed
this year.
Travellers in the area be-
tween Iroquois and Cornwall
will see mammoth changes
being made in the old river and
its surroundings. The famed
Long Sault Rapids have disap-
peared and soon many his
torical sites Of British and
French origin will vanish be-
meath waters held back by
power dams.
Steps have been taken by the
Ontario government, however,
to preserve ~ much as pos
sible the many historic build
ings and other landmarks af-
fected.
