TERMS of sale cash, purchaser to pay extra for deed and stamps. J. FRANK MATTISON, Master for McCormick County, S. C. July 14, 1937.—3t. Columbia, July 21.—Information received from the Social Security Board in Washington at the of fices of the Unemployment Com pensation Commission, according to A. M. Scarborough, Chairman, is that assignment of Social Se curity Account numbers is no long er handled by the post offices. However, in places where no field office of the Social Security Board is located, workers may obtain from the post office application blanks to file for an account num ber. The postmaster will give such information and assistance as he can, but the application itself must be mailed to the nearest field office of the Social Security Board. An account number card will be mailed to the applicant from one of the typing offices. In cities where a field office of the Board is located, Mr. Scar borough pointed out, workers should go to them instead of the post office for application blanks. Such offices will give any assis tance needed and will receive the completed application. “This Commission cannot too strongly impress upon employers as well as employees the impor tance of every person securing an account number,” said Mr. Scar borough, “whether employed or un employed—whether 65 years of age or over—or if in doubt as to being in covered employment. It is to be remembered, of course, that work ers over 65 are not eligible for Old Age Benefits, but only through the use of individual account numbers can we keep accurate employee records in the matter of unemploy ment compensation which has no age limits in its application. It is not unusual to find from four to a dozen employees with the same name, and it is obviously impossible to distinguish between them without an identifying number. “Instructions from the Social Security Board”, continued Mr. Scarborough, (“for employers in se curing an identification number call for the same procedure with regard to post offices and field offices as applies to workers. All employers of one or more persons in covered employment are re quired to complete and file an ap plication (Form SS-4) for an iden tification number.” At present, field offices of the Social Security Board in South Car olina are located at Columbia, Charleston. Spartanburg, Green ville, and Florence. It is possible that one or two others may be opened in the near future.
