The wedding of Phillip Cha-
tham and Joyce Sexton was
marred last night by an auto col-
lision at White City in front of
Harper's Store.
According to witnesses, Cha-
tham and his bride were being
driven to White City where they
were to change cars for their
wedding trip. 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.
The only casualty was Joe Ad-
ams who was knocked unucon-
scio.qs for a short period of time,
but he recovered quickly.
Seeing that noone was hurt,
Chatham and his bride continued
on their wedding trip.

THE TAXPAYERS ARE TALKING
We believe it was Mark Twain who said,
"Everybody talks about the weather, but no-
body does anything about it". And then some-
one else said that "only two things are certain,
death and taxes". Most everybody talks about
these last two things too and occasionally some-
body tries to do something about it.
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. Yes, sir,
these people seem right provoked.
They just can't see it. As the talk goes, peo-

It's the newest in a long list of Ford advancements that
make this Ford the outstanding car for '53!
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.

H. N. Scott Says People Becoming

More Social Security Conscious Now


Harry N. Scott, manager of the
Dothan, Alabama field office says
"It's a fact! People are becoming
more and more social security con-
scious. This fact was brought to
my attention recently in a rather
unexpected way. I was brow-ing
through a downtown department
store, doing a little shopping when
suddenly I found myself completely
hemmed in by a group of ladies
at one end of the hosiery counter.
All the ladies seemed to be inter-
ested in one articular gift pack-

a sign which read:

PAIR plus SPARE for Social
Security"
Now, I know social security
mean a lot of different things to a
lot of different people, and I have
no doubt that this hosiery "bonus"
will some day provide some of;
these ladies with an added sense
of "social" security. 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.
So, ladies, check up on your hus-

The latest news
In easier ironing


IRON

Newest, most modern iron on the
market. Designed with the care of
new fabrics in mind. The ideal iron
for "steam finishing" your pret-
tiest dresses and blouses-for
pressing suits-faster, easier. For
all your regular ironing, too, be-
cause it's as light as an ordinary
iron-easier to use than any
you've ever tried.


A few of its many features


only





*including excise tax


Instant change-over, dry to steam, steam to dry
at the flick of a switch. Big safety-set dial (with
more fabric settings than any other iron) ends
guesswork. Comfortable Koolzone handle.
New steam principle (water turned to steam a
drop at a time)--never any buildup of press-
ure. Even-heat soleplate.
