Name Change?
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.

going to Dallas.
HISTORIC PARALLELS
Last week a list of ironic
historical coincidences, entitled
"Strange As It Sounds,"
came over the editor's desk.
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

TWO STORIES
ISTENING?
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.
