Alfred Fitzpatrick, well-known
lS-y ear-old Del Rio pianist and
piano accordionist, distinguished
himself on the last day of deer
season as a hunter.
Alfred bagged a 24-point buck
on his father’s ranch south of Del
Rio, his second deer of the season.
We believe it to be the champion
for this area, but know it’s a good
one in anybody's county. ‘‘Doc,"
Alfred’s father, estimated—admit-
ting he may be prejudiced slightly
—that the youth's buck would weigh
150 pounds.
“Naturally, I’m going to have that
head mounted,” said Alfred.—Del
Rio Evening News.

Four times each year the social
security office faces the problem of
trying to prevent workers aod^helr
families in Edwards County from
losing some or possibly all of their
social security benefits, according
to John K. Shelton, manager of the
San Antonio social security office.
Shelton said the problem arises
from the quarterly social security
tax returns filed each January, Ap-
ril, July and October. These re-
ports should show the correct name
and number of each worker. With-
out this information the worker
cannot receive credit for his wages
and this may result in reduced
benefits. Also it is possible that the
lost credit could he the very amount
necessary to qualify the worker for
retirement payments or to make his
survivors eligible for payments in
the event of his death.
Shelton explained that the em-
ployers and workers can prevent
such losses by making certain that
each name and number is reported
exactly as it appears on the em-
ployee's social security card.
