Wade, Territorial Director | of the Social Security Board’s office in Juneau, has prepared for dis- tribution among commercial and in- dustrial workers a list of their more important obligations and rights in connection with their old-age insur- ance coverage under the Social Se- | curity Act. The Territorial director suggested that if any social security account number card holder is in doubt about his coverage, he should write his office located in Juneau. Following is Mr. Wade's list of the wage earner’s obligations and rights: 1. AN commercial and industrial workers must have a social security account card. If you do not possess one, file an application at once. In | the event a field office is not located in your town, inquire at your post office. 2. If you have lost your social security card, a duplicate will be issued to you without charge. | 3. Only one social security ac- count number card is necessary. If you have more than one, call im- mediately at Mr. Wade’s office. 4. Inquire at your nearest Social Security Board field office if you are the widow or nearest relative of a deceased person who has worked in commerce or industry at any time since January 1, 1937. You may be entitled to a lump-sum benefit. 5. This also applies if you have attained age 65 and have worked in commerce or industry at any time since January 1, 1937. You may be | entitled to a lump-sum benefit. To obtain this you need not retire from work. 6. If you desire to know the amount of wages credited to your account in 1937, call at your field office. If you believe the amount credited is incorrect, give the facts to the field office. 7. A woman employee who changes her name through marriage should advise the Social Security Board of her name even though she does not continue working. 8. Make certain your employer has your correct name and account number on his records. —ee— DANCE RECITAL Elks Hall, May 26. supplied by Thio CRUISE of POLL Fm\RJ i STATION KINY———5:30 P.M. i Dail> except Sundays & Wednesdays e Steaks....

Instantly the minority member brought it up in commission meet- | ing. We saw both jobholders and we couldn't tell the $2300 secre- tary from the $3,000 secretary ex- cept that we thought the $2300 one a trifle prettier. Anyway, the under-privileged secretaries got an increase in pay. There were other patronage rows. Minority members protested that Senator Joe Guffey, of Pennsyl-| vania, who instigated the coal legis- lation, was getting a lion's cut of the patronage. Guffey valiantly de- nied it but Senator Rush Dew Holt of West Virginia, who wanted some of the patronage but was not get- ting it—he being a rambunctious fellow — printed the whole Coal Commission payroll in the Con- gressional.

It is & “big"” motion picture in every respect—big in its |Sweeping frontier theme, big in its lavish production and big in its all-star cast. The story opens with the heart- breaking return to their native Texas of members of the disbanded Confederate armies. Brave soldiers and proud gentlemen, they are browbeaten and insulted by the rulers of the state, scalawags and | carpetbaggers, who have taken ad- vantage of the South's defeat to line their own pockets. In spite of the provocations, the handsome young soldier at the head of the | group, played by Scott, counsels cau- tion, and refuses to join in with his | friends’. plans to intrigue with the Emperor of Mexico and detach Tex- | |as from the Union.
