The Chatham car was followed by members of the wedding party who were giving chase to the bridal couple. Upon crossing the bridge at the canal, Chatham's car slowed to park and let the bride and groom out to get in their own car. The car following, drive nby "Bo" Bray could not stop-in time and ride-swiped the car in which the newly carried couple were riding.

Naturally, we are getting around to that whopping big 28.3 tax village the County Com- missioners are fixing to slap on the taxpayers of Gulf County. We have heard a mite of talking by the ones who have to pay these taxes, and they seem to be balking just a bit at raising their tax rate by 13.3 mills over last year.

No other car near Ford's price has ever offered you so much! Ford was the first in its field to bring you V-8 power. Today, Ford alone of all the low-priced cars offers you the smooth, unsurpassed performance of a V-8 engine. And' Ford's Six-the most modern in the industry-with Overdrive, won the Grand Sweepstakes in this year's Mobilgas Economy Run. Ford first brought to the low-price field a completely automatic transmission that combines the smoothness of a torque convertor and the gas-saving "go" of automatic gears. Fordomatic remains the most versatile automatic you can buy. Ford's new "ride" brings you road-hugging and bump-leveling qualities never before known in low-priced cars. Front end road shock alone has been reduced up to 80%. Easier-acting suspended pedals. Center-Fill Fueling and Full-Circle Visibility are just a few of the many important advancements first introdlicrd by Ford. And now Ford brings you the newest and finest in power steering ... Master-Guide, a system exclusive in Ford's field! It's no wonder, then, that Ford is the "Worth More" car ... worth more when you bug it :;; worth more when you sell it. ,--* HELPS YOU OUT OF "TIGHT SPOTS!" The tougher the going the more Master-Guide works for you. For example, if you go off the pavement onto a soft shoulder or a rough, rutted road, Master-Guide provides the muscles to keep you on a steady course. At the same time, Master-Guide absorbs the shock that might otherwise be transmitted to the steering wheel. You'll find all handling is easier with Master-Guide and that parking requires only one-fourth the normal effort. Should Master-Guide ever lose its power, the standard steer- ing mechanism will operate just as usual. Thus, Master-Guide provides new ease and stability, with a natural feel and full security, wherever you may drive. Optional on all V-8 models at extra cost.

BUT-I hope all you ladies realize when you multiply your social security ac- count number, you stand a good chance of dividing your future benefits. One of the difficulties exerien- ced by my office in our claims work is with "multiple" numbers. Many people lose sight of the fact that all benefit payments are bas- ed upon wages credited to their account. They sometimes obtain more than one number and quite often keep absolutely no record of these numbers. Last month, a young widow came to my office and brought her husband's social security card with her. A check of the records showed that he had worked under that number only a short time several years prior to his death. It was, necessary for us to tell her that there would be no benefits pay- able' as his record indicated that he had iot worked long enough to be insured. However, we suggested that she try to obtain the names of his different employers if she believed his record was incomplete. Fortunately, she was able to do this. She went home and talked it over with her father-in-law and to- gether they were able to recall four or five firms for whom he had worked. My office got in touch with these firms and discovered he ad worked under two entirely differ- ent social security account num- bers. The wage records of all these numbers were assembled -and we found that he actually was fully insured. Monthly benefits of $93.80 are now being paid..t5 this widow for herself and her child. She would have received noth- ing as matters first stood, but as it is, she may receive between now and-the time the child becomes i8, some $18,000.00. ,Now this story had a happy end- ing, but the point I want to make is that this man's carelessness placed social security benefits for his wife and.child in jeopardy.
