RUTH MILLET says
Brides Need Time Limit
On Work After Marriage
A wife who set a time limit on
how long she would work after
marriage has some sound advice
for the girl who plans to marry
and keep on working "for a little
while."
Her first piece of advice is: "Set
a time limit on how long you are
going to work. Once a time limit
Is established, there is not so apt
to be that dragged-out indecision,
that constant reliance on a second
pay check coming in without end."
Her second pointer is: "Decide
at the start how the wife's pay
check is tc be spent." This wife
and her husband decided that out
of her pay check should come her
immediate expenses, such as hair-
dresser. carfare, lunches, spending
money, etc. The remainder went
into a savings account toward a
home—but was not to be spent for
a larger car or luxuries or even
expensive entertainment.
Her final word of advice is: "The
big things any new wife should re-
member is that it is so much eas-
ier to live UP to two salaries than
to live DOWN to a budget. If a
v-'ing couple can master that one
human frailty, they have hurdled
one of the most serious problems
in young marriages where both
husband and wife work.
TAKES GUMPTION TO
IGNORE JONESES
Keeping up with the Joneses is
so tempting. It requires real gump-
tion to save and live simply when
the money is actually there.
"Yet it is very easy to spoil a
good man and a good husband
(even the best) by easing the fin-
ancial load too greatly. To main-
tain respect on both sides. TIME
LIMIT and BUDGET CONTROL
are of great importance."
This is sound advice from a
woman who has practiced what she
preaches and therefore knows that
it works.
Any young working wife would
be wise to at least consider adapt-
ing these pointers to her own use.

amine where he' went wrong to sec
how a player can protect himself
from his own bad guesses on a
hand of this sort.
West opened the deuce of dia-
monds, and declarer played low
from the dummy. East won with
the king of diamonds and returned
the suit to dummy's ace. Now de-
clarer tackled the trumps, taking
the spade ace and finessing the
jack around to West. This did South
no good, of course, for West won
with the queen and returned a
spade.
South next took the ace of hearts
and led a small heart towards dum-
my. West played low without a
quiver, and South finessed dum-
my's 10. East won with the jack
of hearts and led a third diamond,
forcing South to ruff.
South had already lost three
tricks and had to bring in four
club tricks to make his contract,
so he naturally took the king of
clubs and led another club for a
finesse. East won, and the contract
was down.
When you have a hand of this
sort, with a guess in each suit, your
best bet is to force the opponents
to help you. South should win the
first trick in dummy with the ace
of diamonds and return a diamond.
As it happens, East has the king
of diamonds and must therefore
win the second trick. What can
East return? If East returns a
black suit, declarer gets a free
finesse. If East returns a heart.
South has no further problem. If
East returns a diamond, South can
discard a heart while dummy ruffs,
and the hand is pretty easy from
then on.
It's true that West might have
the king of diamonds, for all South
can tell. But even West would have
serious problems if he were given
(he lead with a diamond at the sec-
ond trick. South would almost sure-
ly make his contract with ease
and pcace of mind if he thrust his
probiems upon the opponents.
New Social Security
Number Not Needed
If Old One Is Lost
QUESTION: Will a farmer or
farm worker who was issued a so-
cial security card many years ago
but has since lost his card, be re-
quired to get a new account num-
ber for his coverage as farm op-
erator or farm employee?
ANSWER: This tarmcr or any
other person similarly situated
will not need a new social security
account number. One account num-
ber is all any one ever needs. The
number on the first card that is
issued to an individual identifies
the account that has been set up
tor him and all earnings reported
by and for him during his life-
time will be credited to that ac-
count. There has been no other
card issued to another person show-
ing the same number. If a person's
social security card is lost or de-
stroyed. he should apply for a du-
plicate account number card from
his nearest social security of-
fice. Without a person's own
social security account num-
ber there is no way to establish
security protection for him or his
family. Applications form for get-
ting a new or replacement social
security card are available at all
post offices as well as social secur-
ity offices.
