Why it Pays to Check Periodically
If you have worked long
enough under the social secu-
rity law, you and your de-
pendents can get monthly
social security insurance ben-
efits when you retire or if
you should become disabled.
Monthly benefits can also be
paid to certain members of
your family when you die.
These benefits will depend
on the earnings credited to
your social security account.
To check on your social
security account, clip the
coupon above, paste it firmly
to a postal card, and mail it to

you in its return flight. If you
want to play it safe, simply move
the boat to the lure ami free it by
hand.
There's a good rule about safety
in small fishing boats. Watch your
partner, and when he moves to
one side, you move to the other.
If he leans over the side to pull
up a heavy anchor and you lean
over the same side at the same
time to reach for the floating
minnow bucket — don't be sur-
prised if you both get a bath,
even if it isn't Saturday.
Keep the boat in balance at all
times! And don't stand up in a
small boat unless you absolutely
have to.
Don t fool around in swift, rocky
waters in your fishing boat. If
you're going upstream and hit a
rock with your propeller shaft
your motor will tilt and the boat
will go out of control and possibly
