and you will be furnished with
a statement of your earnings.
Q—I do not have a birth cer-
tificate. Can I use my insurance
policy to prove my age when I
apply for social security?
A—Yes, ordinarily an
surance policy that shows your
name, and your age or date of
birth at the time the policy was
issued, is acceptable.

I allowed to earn by working

employment or combination of
both wages and self-employment
up to $1200 per year.
Q—Will the ownership of
stock and bonds, a home, or a

drawing social security payments
when I retire?
A.—No. The Social Security
Administration is concerned only
with the amount of your EARN-
INGS after you retire.
Q—Am I required to have a
social security number to work

tion?
A—Yes. Contact your social

proved, disability payments can
be made.

First Bap. Honors
Seniors With
Banquet May 18th.
On Friday night, May 18th,
the senior class of De Leon High |
School, their teachers and wives, t
and sponsors and wives, were ,
honored with a banquet in the
basement of the First Baptist
Church. The theme of this ban-
quet was “The Last Roundup”
and I’m sure each one there will
always remember it as one of the
highlights of his o rher gradua-
tion days. The guests were all
dressed in cowboy regalia.
The tables were set around
the realistic campfire, which had
the old black bean pot hanging
from 3 poles over the fire.
Around this fire sat 5 “cow-
boys” dressed in boots, jeans,
shirts and straw hats. These cow-
’ boys were Bill Johnson, Tommy
Nabors, Donnie and Ronnie
Nowlin and Terry Young. The
camp site was covered with
loose hay, with bales of hay
forming the background. By
these bales of hay stood the
miniature mules, resting by their
saddles and blankets, after a
hard days journey. The room
was lit by kerosene lanterns
hanging from the ceiling, and
the tables were decorated with
pots of cactus. Favors were cov-
ered wagons drawn by 6 mules, I
cowboys, and a long laureat rope
forming circles as it went from
one end of the table to the oth-
er.
Around the room hung the
horse shoes on the wall, and the
words written in gold in big let-
ters “The Last Round Up”.
A “ real ’ ’ chuck wagon was
set up, complete with tarp over
top, pots, pans and skillets hang-
ing from side and the food con-
sisting of little doggie, brown
spurs, cow puncher salad, cactus
slices, cowboy tear jerks, flap
jack and saddle soap, ranger de-
light and creek water was dish-
ed out and served by the follow-
ing girls: Tjwanah Stacy, Treva

representative or your

Q—-Social Security tax is de-
ducted from my salary each
week. Does this allow me to col-
old in- lect unemployment compensa-
tion if 1 am out of work?
A—No. The tax deduction
made from your salary is strict-
ly under the social security pro-
■kc io W1IM..UC gram that deals with old-age
part-time basis retirement, disability, and sur-
vivors insurance. Unemployment
compensation is handled by each
individual state, and in most
states, the employee is not taxec
for these benefit payments.
