Get Social Security
Checks On Time
One of the hit songs in "My
Fair Lady" is concerned with
getting to the church on time.
James Smith, social security
claims representative from Ab-
ilene who visits Albany regu-
larly, reminds our readers that
one can sing about his social
security if lie takes steps to
get his checks received on time.
New claimants can make a
hit in that direction by filing
claims a month or two before
that first check will be due.
Persons already receiving bene-
fit checks can keep future
checks coming on time by be-
ing prompt in reporting chang-
es of nddress.
Smith's next trip to Albany
will be on Monday, Nov. 23 at
the City Hall at 10 a. m. He in-
vites all with social security
questions to drop in and get
them answered.

The Albany Chest is nearing
its goal!—$f.,r>00 of the nec-
essary $7,059 has been collect-
ed.
This is good, but we need to
make it even better. We need
to reach our goal as rapidly as
possible. The club women of
Albany solict your support.
Perhaps you were not at home
when one of these women call-
ed on you. Please do not wait
to be asked. Your money can
be turned in to Mrs. Bruce
Bray at the First National
Bank of Albany.
We take pride in our town
and usually we do the extra
amount which turns an ordi-
nary job into an extraordi-
nary accomplishment. Many
of the activities, particularly
of our young people, are due
to efforts of the Albany Chest.
Would you be happy if there
were no summer baseball for
our children or if there were
no library in Albany? These
are just two of the fourteen
activities supported by the Al-
bany Chest.
Kach citizen of Albany is af
fected directly or indirectly by
the civic work carried on by
these fourteen agencies. We
have an apportunity to put our
efforts together to achieve
murty Worthwhile results that
would be impossible if we tried
to carry them on alone. The
time has come to bring our
gifts, whether large or small,
in order that the drive will
reach 100 percent.

The Introduction continues:

HUNTERS' SAFETY TIP
The Texas Safety Association
advises hunters to never trust
a gun that's "on safety." The
more a hunter counts on a
safety catch for protection the
less reliable It becomes. Any
mechanical device can fall, un-
less its backed up by skill, good
(tense and safe habits. Know
the limitations of the safety
of catch and check its position
| frequently while you hunt.
