Check SS Card Marriage or other circumstance that change a woman's name calls for reporting that change on an up-to-date social security card. For example, a woman who gets married and who had a social security number under her maiden name, needs a reissued card bearing her married name, says personnel director Calvin Cooper. He notes that failure to let the SS agency know of such change makes it hard for the person involved to get credit for earnings reported under her new name, even though the number is unchanged.

The duplicator machine copy fact sheet listed the following curious parallels on the assassinations of Presidents John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln. The eleven singular events read: Both Presidents were concerned with civil rights. Lincoln was elected in 1860 Kennedy in 1960. Both were slain on Friday and in the presence of their wives. Their successors, botli named Johnson, were Southerners, Democrats and harl served in the IJ. S. Senate. Andrew Johnson was born in 1808; Lyndon Johnson wa? born in 1908. John Wilkes Booth was born in 1889; Lee Harvey Oswald in 1939. Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and ran to a warehouse; Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and ran to a theater. Both Booth and Oswald were Southerners, favoring unpopular causes. Both slayers of Booth and Oswald?Boston Barbeth and Jack Ruby ? murdered the two assassins before their trials. Both Presidents' wives lost children through death while living in the White House. Both men were shot in the 1 I THE BELLS TELL ARE YOU 1 V # ** COMtA0* I GOOD SCHOOLS ?

THE GLAD STORY When it is said that lack of education costs you money mnnv Ho not Kolir?\m IKK Kni the following are figures from a recent survey. The median method was used to analyze income and years of education for all South Carolina males it least 25 years old. No schooling, $876 annual income; 1 to 4 years, $1,429 income; 5 to 7 years $2,427; 8 rears, $2,880. One to three years of high school produced a median income of $8,581 a year; four s'ears brought $4,361. One to three years of college produced a median of $5,024 annually; four or more years, 56,406. Although there are exceptions. the general trend is clear and conclusive. There is no question about it, it is a L?lad story for the educated persons in South Carolina. If you have children in school ? keep them there. Failure to secure all the education possible will hurt these children right where it hurts the most ? in the pockctbook. ?Ve are living in a fast changing world where the requirements for jobs continues to call for more and more skill :ind education. This trend will continue and to keep pace the workers of tomorrow must be properly prepared thru EDUCATION. en League Play BUUBjHVv } fjtMBm. jM WM rr A g^^K jHH 1^Hg ed employees bowling teams ? play to begin at the local r. sored entry in the Tuesday norning, 9:30.
