BAXTERS ATTEND FOX & WOLF HUNTERS MEET

There are several agenc-
ies that use the Social
Security number for other
than Social Security pur-
poses, David Helmer, Soc-
ial Security Manager in
Corsicana, said recently.
The Internal Revenue
Service, tor example, re-
quires people to show the
Social Security number on
income tax returns. Also,
the Department of Defense
^fhas substituted the Soci-
al Security number for
the military number for
all members of the armed
forces. Social Security
numbers are also required
for any person who appli-
There is no Federal law
that requires a person to
furnish a number to these
organizations for such
purposes.
On the other hand, Hel-
mer said, there is no
provision against such
use of the number by an
organization for its own,
records if the number is
obtained voluntarily from
the person. This is a
private matter between
the organization and the
person.
Any organization consid-
ering private use of the
number should realize th-
at the Social Security

le for the State Fox and
Wolf Hunters Association
Meet.

ow and helped with the

Pen.

Federally-subsidized pro-

comparatively few people
who do not need a Social
Security number for one
purpose or another, Hel-
mer said.
Among private organizat-
ions, there is a growing
trend to use the Social
Security number in their
^Ijwn numbering systems
and control records. Such
use is neither authorized
nor approved by the Soci-
al Security Administra-
tion .
verify numbers or names
or furnish other informa-
tion from records which
would involve an unauth-
orized expenditure of
Social Security taxes or
disclosure of confidenti-
al information.

the use of the Social Se-
curity numbers can be ob-

Social Security office,

A couple weeks ago on a
Thursday night a group of
ladies from Kerens spent
the evening at the West-
end Market Place in Dal-
las.
Barbara Spencer, Flo
Neumayer, Nora Lee May,
Carolyn Stovall, Joyce
Lockhart and Donna York
went with Cindy Scott in
the Scott's new van.
Arriving just in time
for supper, of course,
they ate at T. J. Gonza-
les. Everyone enjoyed
lots of chips and sauce.
Afterwards they wandered
the streets that border
the area. The outdoor
eating areas, horse-
drawn carriages and the
many limosines.
Most of the evening was
spent browsing in the
shops in the main build-
ing. After everyone had
examined the $3,000 full-
size cloth horse in a
toy store, they all stop-
ped for something to dr-
ink on the top floor of
the building where they
could look down on the
other three floors. Mo-
st of the group had cold
drinks; however, some en-
Mere's Mow/
joyed Cappuccino. They
bought one fresh-baked,
still hot cinnamon roll
and two french pastries.
Everyone tried a little
of everything.
They spent a good bit
of time in the halls of
Dallas Alley listening
to the music coming from
the various clubs... after
a while they moved out
into the alley where they
sat on the curb and en-
joyed the breeze and more
listening.
After more 'walkin' and
gawkin', they decided to
stop for something more
to drink--and to rest
their feet—before the
> f
trip home. They chose to
do this at Dick's Last
Resort where they also
heard an excellent jazz
band.
Arriving back at the pa-
rking lot they discover-
ed that they were blocked
in by a car whose owner
had not left a door key.
Due to the delay in get-
ting out of the lot, they
were not charged for pa-
rking-- this made the trip
back to Kerens even swee-
ter.

For packing the car for
a vacation, don't forget
to add first aid suppli-
es and take extra precau-
tion. These may keep you
from becoming a statistic
in Texas traffic fatalit-
ies .
"Traffic accidents al-
ways increase during hol-
iday seasons," says Dr.
Mary Ann Heussner, a hea-
lth education specialist
with the Texas A&M Un-
iversity Agricultural
Extension Service. "Th-
ere are more people on
the road, often not driv-
ing as attentively as th-
ey should be; and summer
is one long holiday."
According to the Texas
Department of Health,
3,823 people died in Tex-
as traffic accidents la-
st year; 1,053 of these
deaths occured in the
summer months of June,
July and August. In July
alone, 374 deaths were
recorded.
"There are ways to decr-
ease the chances of being
involved in an accident,"
says Heussner. "Plan the
trip ahead of time. Know
which highways to travel
to avoid last minute de-
cisions and desperate la-
ne changes. Also allow
plenty of time, both on
the way there and on the
way back. Rushing to get
there, and tatigue and
desire to return home may
put an end to more than
just a vacation."
"Check the car carefully
before starting any tr-
ip," the specialist sug-
gests. "Make sure the br-
akes and lights are work-
ing properly, fluids are
at correct levels, wind-
shield wipers are functi-
oning, the tires have the
correct air pressure, and
that the spare tire is in
good condition. Also car-
ry flashlights, flares
and a first aid kit in
your car."
It's also important to
remember that wearing se-
atbelts is a law in Tex-
as, tor adults as well as
children, remarks Heussn-
er. Last year the Texas
Department of Health rep-
orted 6,603 injuries and
78 deaths of children
ages 0-4, all due to tra-
ffic accidents.
