The Atchison, Topeka and

System are showing improve-
ment from the recent upturn in

this trend is expected to con-
tinue into 1962 when modestly
higher levels of gross receipts
are anticipated, according to
Ernest Marsh, president. The
system’s net income for 1961
will be up moderately over 1960
but still somewhat below the
average of the last 10 years,
Mr. Marsh said.
For modernization and im-
provement during 1962, the
Santa Fe has programmed

Elex C of C Plans
World Trade Tour
E.B. Germany, president of
the East Texas Chamber of
Commerce, announces the
chamber’s Tenth Annual World
Trade tour, which will visit
London, Paris, Vienna, Amster-
dam, Copenhagen, and Lucerne,
leaving Dallas April 27 and re-
turning May 20.
“If you really want to meet
the top people in these coun-
tries and enjoy the trip of your
life, don’t fail to make this
trip” Germany said, in point-
ing out that any East Texas
businessman and his wife are
eligible for the tour.
“On our last trade tour, we
met ambassadors. Lords and
Ladies, as well as top govern-
ment officials, corporation pres-
idents, and business leaders in
every country we visited, and
saw all the sights we wanted to
see along the way,” Germany
said, in commenting on the fact
that a number of people have
as many as four of these trips,
and found them entirely differ-
ent from anything offered by
anyone because of the contacts
already established by the
chamber through the years.
“If you want the real red
carpet treatment,” Germany
said, “Just sign up for this tour
and you will experience it.’
The purpose of the tours is
to enlarge the volume of trade
between East Texas and other
parts' of the world, and to ad-
vertise the accessibility of Tex-
as gulf ports in shipping to
points in the Southwest and
Midwest.
“Anyone interested in joining
us on this unique and outstand-
ing tour may indicate it by
calling or writing our East
Texas headquarters office in
Longview,” Germany conclud-
ed.
IT’S THE LAW
In Texas
YOUR LEGAL NAME
Most probably you are never
quite sure whether your wife
should use your first name, or
her own, when signing' an imp-
portant paper.
Perhaps you also wonder
whether to put a "Mr.” or
“Mrs.”jn front of a signature
and you can get all mixed up
about a “Jr.” or a “Sr.” after
it. Then, what about your mid-
dle name or initial?
It seems that for centuries
under common law a legal
name has consisted of one
Christian or given name ahd
one surname or family name.
The law presumes that every
person has a given name and
a surname which must be stat-
ed in full on any legal docu-
ment.
The law pays little attention
to a middle name or initial
but it is wise to use either one
or the other for exact identifi-
cation. You must be consistent,
too. For example, one real
estate buyer was advised to
sign all papers by his full name
“William Alton Smith, Jr.” to
make it clear which of the Bill
Smiths was buying the prop-
erty. (
If you are a “Jr.” or a “Sr.”
such description should be used
to help distinguish you from
namesakes.
As for “Mr.” in front of your
name, that’s not important at
all. The same is true for “Mrs.”,
because it’s your wife’s own
given name that counts.
When a woman marries, she
takes her husband’s family
name. Her maiden surname is
absolutely lost Many women
incorrectly use their husband’s
full name, and sign “Mrs. Wil-
liam A. Smith”, for example.
The correct way is for her to
sign her own given name and
her husband’s surname such as
“Joan Marie Smith”.
A divorced woman who
wants to resume the use of
her maiden name may, under
some circumstances, have it re-
turned to her by court order.
Perdues, the Fint Baptist
church of Lumberton, -and the
new parsonage. Most are now

Midterm tests at all area
schools were interrupted with
both Silsbee and Chance-Loeb
schools being dismissed for dhe

Keith Gary has recovered
from a tonsilectomy.
The housewarming at the
new parsonage of the First
Baptist church of Lumberton
has been postponed, and will
be held from 2 to 4 o’clock Sun-
day, January 21. The pastor,

Special visitors at the First
Baptist Church of Lumberton
last week were Mr. and Mrs.
C. J. Leslie of Beaumont, who
assisted in the music program
for the morning services, Sun-
day. Mrs. Leslie is Mrs. Perry’s
sister ,and Mr. Leslie is a min-
isterial student at Southwestern
Seminary, Fort Worth, who has
been recalled to active service
in the army and was home on
leave.
Mrs. Marvin Craft spent last
weekend at the home of her
mother, Mrs. A. C. Rowe in
Carthage, who underwent sur-
gery in a Carthage hospital
Saturday . Mrs. Craft came
home for the first part of the
week, but went back to stay

is needed.

Deadline Near For
Certain Social
Security Benefits
Are you a working person 65
pr over who has never applied
for social security benefits? If
so, you will want to ask your
social security office or repre-
sentative about filing a claim.
Older working people, made
eligible to collect some benefits
because of a retent change in
the law, will need to get their
applications on file before the
end of January 1962, according
to Melanny Schwgrtz, field
representative of the Beaumont
social security office, otherwise,
they stand a chance of losing
some of the social security pay-
ments now due them.
Many older working people
In the Silsbee area have not
yet applied for their social se-
curty benefits, Miss Schwartz
noted. She said that many of
them may not realize that their
earnings are at a level which
will now permit them to get
some payments.
Some others may be under
the impression that if they earn
more than $1200 in a year, they
cannot collect any social secur-
ity. benefits. This is not so, she
said.
Another thing many people
don’t realize is that regardless
of their annual earnings, a so-
cial security beneficiary can
be paid his benefits for any
month he does not earn more
than $100 in wages nor work in
self-employment..
Miss Schwartz suggested that
working people 65 or over who
have not yet applied for their
social security benefits contact
her to get a free copy of the
new leaflet, “You Don’t Have
to Retire Completely to Get So-
cial Security Benefits.” . The
leaflet describes the provisions
of the law in simple words
and also contains a table to
help the older worker estimate
how much of his benemits he
can collect if he earns over
$1200 a year.
Miss Schwartz will be in
Silsbee in the Fire Department
Hall every Thursday morning
at 8:30 a. m. to assist eligible
persons in filing claims for so-
cial security benefits.
