Dallas, April 28— Plans for an
intensive campaign to assign social
security account numbers by June 30
! to every wage earner in employments
covered by the Federal Old Age Bene-
fits provisions of the Social Secutity
Act were outlined today by E. L.
Tutt, Field Representative of the So-
cial Security Board.
"Although approximately 000.000
account number cards have been is-
ued in the state of Texas, we are
certain that there still are several
thousand covered workers in this
field who have not yet applied for
account numbers," Tutt said.
"The postoffices will continue to
receive applications for account num-
bers throug|, Juia, ■''(). Until that date,
application forms will oe in easy
reach of any unregistered workers;
after that date, ah applicant will
have to contact the nearest Social
Security field office in order to es-
tablish an old-age benefits account.
We hope, therefore, to bring all af-
fected workers into the program while
facilities of the postoffice are yet
available.
"Officials from this office will
begin immediately to visit the prin-
cipal cities in this area and speak to
employer groups, contact public of-
ficials, civic leaders, chambers of
commerce, heads of labor organiza-
i ons, fraternal and welfare groups,
women's clubs, editors and others
who.->t services may be enlisted in
brinring about enumeration of every
i|uaiiiied employee," Tutt asserted.

A popular bit of information trom
.he yeast bread demonstration given
in the county in April was how to
.take home-made yeast cakes. Mrs.
C. G. Viertel, president of he Asper
iflout home demonstration club, made
the cakes that were distributed a-
mong the club women and explained
new they were made.
"I use a piece of yeast bread dough
about the size of a small egg and
soak and dissolve in two cups of wat-
er. Tln n i add enough white flour to
ake a thick batter, and 1 allow this
mixture to -.tand over night in a
arm place.
■ i he next morning, this sponge
..ill be foamy and doubled ill bulk.
To this, 1 add enough cornnieal to
make the sponge stiff so thai it can
be rolled out on the bread board.
Use cornnieal on the board instead of
flour. 1 cut these with a biscuit cut-
ter, and put them where they wil
dry out."
I In home-made yeast cakes can
be ki 'vr months and will make
good lichtbread.
Oscar Peacock, A. P. Couch and
Bill Matthews were business visi-
