WOMEN GET TIP - FROM BROWNE ON Employed women : should notify the Federal Social Security Admin- | istration when they marry so their | names can be changed on the Ad- mmist.mnuns record in our central | office, James G. Browne, manager | of the Social Security Administra- | tion, advised today. If they will do this they will make it easier for themselves and the Administration when the time comes to file claims for Old-Age and Survivor’s Insurance benefits, Browne explained. For the woman who marries and wants to change her name, the ad- form ,which may be obtained at the local field office. She should fill out, attach the Social Security Card bearing her maiden name and send or bring the form to our office. “We do not assign her a new number, but issue a new card bear- ing her present name and the num- ber that was originally assigned to her. She then will have only one Saocial Security Number during her ! entire lifetime. If she had more than one number, she might stand to lose her benefits,” said Browie. The Administration keeps all in- formation it reccives from * the worker strictly confidential.

Lay-over time was taken whenever the going got {too strenuous. Fishing boats had been tied up at Pulteney near the south entrance to Queen Charlotte Sound. In spite jof this, the crew aboard the Donolie voted unammously to proceed “full [spncd ahead,” The Donolie arrived (at Prince Rupert at 4 p.m. Wed- nesday, three hours behind its pre- jdicted time. k At Prince Rupert that evening, 1a reception and banquet were given the Skipper and crew of the Don- olie. The Carmelita did- not arrive until Thursday morning as the Donolie was leaving. Good Racing Schedule Fair weather with the exception of extreme high tides from Prince Rupert to Juneau made for good racing schedules for the two crui- sers that finished the race. The Donolie crossed the finish line at the Douglas Bridge Saturday after- {noon two minutes and 57 seconds after the predicted time of 1 o'clock. The Carmelita crossed the Jfinish line at twohours, 26 minutes and seconds after the predicted fin- ish time of 1 p.m. Aboard the Donolie were Ray Haxt, owner and skipper, Ted Phil- captain on the Bremerton po- Hce force, Marx Libby, electrical engineer, Milt Benson, variety- 'store operator, and Ed Shell, re- tired army major, who acted as ob- server. All of the crew are from Bremerton. Robert Cowling, Com- modore of the Juneau Yacht Club, flew to Prince Rupert to join the Donolie and made the trip from there. Aboard the 65-foot Carmelita, were Norton Clapp, owner of the cruiser, Roger and Bill Clapp, sons of Clapp, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Wheat and fheir son Gilbert Wheat, ‘Jx ., of San Francisco, Tom Youell and Herbert Rowland, both of Se- |attle. The Clapps are from Seattle, | Rowland was observer on the Car- melita. Engine Trouble Shortly after leaving Prince Ru- pert, the Carmelita developed en- gine trouble with one of the twin- diesels overheating. The one motor had to be stopped and the cruiser limped into Ketchikan where the motor was repaired Friday. Five hours out of Bremerton, the regular 75 watt radio went out on the Donclie and a five watt radio |set had to be used until arrival at Prince Rupert. The cruiser’s radio was fixed at Prince Rupert. The limited ranges of the small com- munications equipment on the crui- sers coupled with the interference iby local terrain made contact dif- {ficult ketween the cruisers. Under Dr. Robert Crees of Bremerton, an unofficial network of radio hams was organized to monitor the ship- to-ship band and to report the lo- cation of boats under way. Cruiser Schedules The Carmelita left early Sunday laterndon to sail in southeast Al- aska waters and is to make home rt by next week. The Donolie leaves sometime today with fishing to be the main item before arriv- ing home. Hart expects to be home in time to enter the Twentieth In- ternational Cruiser Race to be run July 28 and 29 from Vancouver, B. C,, to Seattle.

IMEXICO KEEPS CHURCHLAWS MEXICO CiTY-— The 'Mexican ongress has adjourned without act- ng on repeal of laws restricting the: Jatholic Church. In fact, the bill never -got to congress. But this 'doesn’t mean the church is in for a hard time. The laws have been generally disregarded for ten years. .The bans, promulgated.by Presi~ lent Plutarco Elias Calles in 1926, were intended to put -teeth in the constitutional restrictions on church activity. Repeal of the Calles law would not have affected the re- itrictions on the church written in- 0 Mexico’s. 1917 constitution. Enforcement Is Lax The Calles law provided for the »xpulsion of foreign priests from Vlexico; established secular educa- tion; forbade churches to conduct schools; forbade the operation of monastic orders; gave church prop- erty to the state; and forbade the ‘ormation of political parties with eligious connections. As to the present state of the, aws: At least six U. S. priests are ac- ive in Muflco; churches are aperat- ng schools and hospitals; nuhs ap- sear on the, streets in the habit of heir order; one rightist political sarty is generally considered to be riendly toward the church; and parishioners control the 'church uildings (although the government a1as legal title to them). The repeal measure was included n a new codification of Mexico's cenal laws, prepared by a board £ lawyers cver 18 months.The draft »f this new code said “all penaliies ncluded in special laws are con- inued in effect except the law >f July 31, 1926.” This July 31 aw is the Calles decree, later ap- sroved by congress. However, the 1ew code was not sent to congress sefore it adjourned. Congress does 10t meet again until Sept. 1. 1951. Fow Issue Was Dodged Instead of the new code, the oresiderit proposed minor changes in existing laws. None of these con- serned the church. Congress ap- proved these changes. 2 Whether the repeal proposal wiil be sent to congress at the next session +is ‘doubtful. Mexico has &/ there” club. The -new club is the Ice-Berg Pilots Association to promote the harmony and good sportsmanship of the group. Certificates of mem- Lership were awarded to all those who made the trip from Bremerton to. Juneau. Ray Hart; holding a chunk of Mendenhall | Glacier ice in his hands, accepted mmnbership into the organization for the group. Initiation into the group was made by Charles W. Carter. Those making speeches of wel- come were Herb Rowland, president of the Juneau Chamber of Com- merce, and Mayor Waino Hendrick- son. A presentation speech was made by Edward O'Brien, manager of the Baranof, who presented the Baranoi , trophy. This trophy is for the first place winner of the so- called Capital-to-Capital Cruiser Race. Also on dislay was the George Patton trophy for the second place winner. Patton is from Naniamo, B.
