DRESS REVUE - FOURTH girls
in Kent County are cutting, fitting
and sewing outfits they hope will
be in the spotlight at local, eoun-
ty, and state All dress revues this
summer, Marion Macdonald, coun-
ty All agent, has announced.

clothes in the national dress revue

next December.
The All dress revue program, di-
rected by Wayne Bath, acting state
All Club leader, is designed to
teach All girls how 20 select styles,
coIors, and fabrics suited to their
individual personalities and ward
robe needs. Poise, self-conildence,
and good grooming habits also are
developed along with leadership
qualities and learning to work with
others.
PROOF OF BIRTH - What evil
dence do you have in your pos
session that establishes the date
you were born? If your marriage
were to be questioned, can you
prove you are married? What was
your gross salary last year?
These are not $4,000 ques-
tions". Neither are the $3.50, 900
questions" They are simply a few
statements you can be required to
prove when you file claim for bene-
fits under the Social Security Act.
Just as bit of information, hene-
fits can total more than $4,000 in
some survivor cases before the full
liability of the law has been dis
charged. This explains why the So
cial Security Administration in
sists upon proof of certain events
that most of US take more or less
for granted.
