THURSDAY, APRIL 29TH, 1937 Record Keeping Is Being Complicated Not Necessary for Employees to Get New Numbers When They Change Jobs. Social Security record keeping is being complicated 1 because many em ployees and some employers have the idea that a new number is necessary every time an employee changes jobs, Postmaster R. A. Deason declared re cently. “One number is all any employee will ever need,” Mr. Deason said. “When a worker takes a new job, all in the world he needs to do is to tell the new employer the number on the original registration card. When new employees are hired, employers can be of material assistance if they will require if the applicant has or has had a number. If he has, nothing need! be done except enter that num ber on the payroll. If the applicant has no ..umber, he should be given a blank application and required to fill it out and either mail it or take it to the post office. He will be issued a card and number and one number is all that he will ever need, even though he has a new job every week and wan ders from coast to coast. This is true even though a person is working for a half dozen employers at the same time. There is no possible circum stance undbr which more than one number is necessary.” Mr. Deason also urged all workers, who have not already done so, to ap ply immediately to their employer or the nearest post office and fill out the application form SS-5 for account number.

Large Crowd Attend Dance. CLEM SON COLLEGE FORTY YEARS BEHIND THE TIMES About 40 years ago, soon after Clemson College was founcted after textile plant was built and a textile course started at Clemson to train young men to become leaders in the textile industry. Since that time thousands of young men have taken this training at Clemson and hundreds of these have come to be leaders in the textile industry, having risen in many cases from the humblest places. However, in these 40 years al though South Carolina has risen to first place tn all the States for the number of active cotton spindles, the equipment and facilities of the textile department at Clemson remain about like they were 40 years ago. Although there were only a few students at first, now there are about 300 textile students at Clemson and no room to accommodate mre or even to do the best by those who are there now. Furthermore the college can not fully supply the demand of the industry today for competent, well trained 1 young men. There is at present a bill before the State legislature authorizing Clemson to borrow enough money to enlarge its textile plant and bring itself up- to-date and second to no school in the United States. As a matter of fact even with the limited equipment Clemson has turned out men who stand at the top in textile leadership. A number of machinery manufac turers are now offering Clmson com plete new modem equipment for such a building if a new and adequate one can be secured. The present one is too small and out of date to serve the purpose. It is evident that the more textile manufacturing we get in the State the more demand there will be for our cotton, especially the finer types fhat are now being grown. This should help everybody, so we should all work together |to develop our textile industry. Here are some important facts for us to ponder: The textile industry of South Carolina leads all other States in their cotton spindles. The textile industry of South Caro lina gives employment to some 90,000 people whose annual payroll is fifty- five millions of dollars. The textile industry of South Caro lina pays annually approximately four and one-half million dollars in State, county and municipal taxes. The textile industry of South Caro lina pays approximately sixty per cent, of the corporation taxes. The textile industry of South Caro lina pays approximately seventy-five per cent, of the total corporation State income tax. This industry needs more technical ly trained men in order to meet for eign competition. The Clemson Textile school has some three hundred* textile students, yet can meet only half of the calls for trained men for the textile in dustry. The Clemson Textile school and hence the State of South Carolina has lost donations in equipment to the value of some $60,000.00 on account of inadequate space in its antiquated textile building. Let’s supply the building.—Con tributed. Child Health Day. Gov. OHn D. Johnston has issued a proclamation designating Saturday, May 1st, as “Child Health Day” and calls upon the citizens of the State “to use this day for the earnest con sideration of ways an j means of pro tecting and promoting the health and general welfare of the children of our State.” ADVERTISE IN The People- Sentinel.

C. *r \ it- use POTASH to it. mn Experiments and practical field testa have shown that pot ash will increase the yields of com enough to make good profits after paying for the cost of the potash. In addition to increasing the yields, potash fills out the ears and re duces firing, root rot, and lodging. Dr. H. P. Cooper, Director of the South Carolina Exper- » iment Station, says that much of the po- • tentially good corn # land in the eastern part " of South Carolina has become so deficient in potash that corn is ■ NO POTASH often almost a com plete failure. Increase your com yields this yean: by top-dressing with 100-200 pounds per acre of a nitrogen- potash fertilizer. Consult your county agent or experiment station about the plant-food re quirements of your soils. See your fertilizer dealer or manufacturer regarding fertilizers high in pot ash. You will be surprised how little it costs to use more potash. Write us for fur ther information and literature. AMERICAN POTASH INSTITUTE, INC. lavMtamt Wtakiaffton. D.
