Taxable Employers Are Still Confused On Title 8 lows: Louise Collins of Horry County, President; Lena Weaver of Greenville County, Vice President; and Betty Harmon of Lexington County, Secretary-Treasurer. On the women’s program which ended Friday, all topics were cen- Title VIII of the Social Security Act and were not obligated to file Treasury Form SSI, Collector of Internal Revenue R. M. Cooper today called attention to that sec tion of the act which provides that “every individual” shall pay an in- j each month based on the wages | Paid in that calendar month. The bureau will not accept accumulated returns.” I Some employers, the Collector explained, are of the opinion that if the employee has no Social Se curity number they are not re quired to pay the tax assessed j against both. This is not so. The employer must pay the full tax re gardless of the employee’s failure | to produce a number. All employers should obtain the account number of each employee whether he be a new or old addition to the pay roll. In the event the employee shows no disposition to get a number, the employer at the time he files his Treasury form SSI should add to that return Treasury form SS5 in behalf of his reluctant employee. Collector Cooper said much needless correspondence between the taxpaying employer and his office could be avoided if the em ployer took great care to sign that space in form SSI denoting his title. Only an officer or a member of the firm or one with a power of attorney may sign in that space. Too, many employers whose pay ments are over ten dollars fail to obtain a notary’s signature and seal on form SSI, using instead the unsworn signature of two per sons. This last method of attesting is available only to those whose employee-employer tax is ten dol lars or less. In the language of the act, those employers and employees who are exempted from the taxpaying pro visions of Title VIH are as follows: Agricultural labor; domestic service in a private home; casual labor not in /the course of the em ployer’s trade or business; service performed by an individual who has attained the age of sixty-five years; service performed as an of ficer or member of the crew of a vessel documented under the laws of the United States or of any foreign country; service performed in the employ of the United States Government or of any instrumen tality of the United States; service performed in the employ of a state, a political subdivision thereof, or an instrumentality of one or more states or political subdivisions; service performed in the employ of a corporation, community chest, fund or foundation, organized and operated exclusively for religious charitable, scientific, literary or educational purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals, no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. hours here Wednesday afternoon.

Camp Bradley News ^ Camp Bradley, June 12.—Mr. Swanson and Mr. Foster, University of North Carolina students, who have been assigned to Camp F-7 as student assistants during the summer months, arrived Tuesday of this week. These men are study ing forestry and are assigned to this camp to get experience in ac tual work which is carried on on a National Forest Ranger District. Both of these men have been working at the rock quarry and on the Flint Road and after they have learned some of the fundamental principles of quarry operations and of hard surfacing roads, they will be transferred to various other types of work so that they will have some experience in all the va rious projects. Leader Joe Price, who has been suffering from a bad knee, has re turned to work. Price and his road maintenance crew are helping Pete Cantelou topsoil the road running to the top of Parson’s Mountain. Four men from the Star Fort Camp have been assigned to thi? camp for wood procurement duty. Enrollees Mayer, Wengard, Robert? and Williams from Star Fort along with Self and Jackson from thl? camp will clear a pasture on the property of Mr. Cothran, the wood thus obtained being used for fuel at the two camps. The hot, dry weather of the past few weeks has caused the fire hazard to rise again. At the pres ent time, the woods are easily burned in spite of the green foliage and it is only with tha utmost care that fires can be prevented in this condition. All necessary steps to meet any situation that might arise are being taken. The Hardlabor Creek bridge string ers have now been placed and the holes are now being bored for the rail posts. When completed, this bridge will be the longest bridge constructed to date on any of the South Carolina and Croatan Na tional Forests. Everyone at Camp Bradley ex tends best wishes to Mr. Browa Sanders, Clerk in Ranger David’s office, who was married yesterday to Miss Julia Brabham Felder, o£ Cope, South Carolina. -xx- Boll Weevils Plentiful Weevils have been found by the County Agent and farmers at the rate of two hundred per acre In some fields of cotton in the Coun ty.
