WOMEN WORKEOS WHO
MARRY SHOULD TELL SOCIAL
SECURITY BOARD AT ONCE
Women workers should notfy So-
cial Security Board when they mar-
ry so their names can be changed on
the Board's records at Baltimore.
If they do this they will make it
easier for themselves and the Board
when the time comes to file claims
for old-age and survivors insurance
benefits.
For the woman who marries and
wants to change her name, the Board
has provided a special form, OAAN-
7003, which may be obtained at the
San Antonio field office of the Board.
She should fill it out, attach the so-
cial security card bearing her maiden
name and send the form to the
Board.
The Board does not assign her a
new number, but issues a new card
bearng her present name and the
number that was originally assigned
I to her. She thus will have only one
social security number during her
entire life-time. If she had more than
one number, she might stand to lose
her benefits.
The Board keeps all information

TEXAS BUSINESS ON
EVEN KEEL FOR MAY
Texas business remained on an
even keel during May, though at a
substantially hig< r level than in May
a year ago, the University of Texas
Bureau of Business Research report-
ed,
Employment, payrolls, runs of crude
oil to refinery stills, department
store sales and electric power con-
sumption all showed gains over May,
1943, while miscellaneous freight
carloadings declined somewhat.
These factors combined yielded an
index of 201.5 for May, the bureau's
computations showed, up 15 per cent
over May, 1943.
Other lines of activity on the Tex-
as business scene were reported by
the University bureau as follows:
Independent retail sales, up 8 per
cent over April and 15 per cent over
May, 1943.

higher than in April, 200,000 gallons
above May a year ago; American

er thhan in May, 1943; creamery but-
ter, down 11.8 per cent from May,
1943.

state markets and Fort Worth stock-
yards, totaling 11,169 cars, 31 per
cent above May, 1943.
Southern lumber production, av-
eaging 196,811 board feet per mill per
week, off slightly from Anril, while
weekly shipments rose a little to 205-
926 board feet per mill.
Postal receipts at 46 city post of-
fices, totaling $2,441,389, compared
to $2,355,998 in April and $1,961,036
in May a year ago.
Building permits, totaling $4,350,-
572 in 40 cities, a third higher than
in May, 1943, but substantially be-
low April of this year.
Electric power consumption, vir-
tually the same as in April but 8.3
per cent above May, 1943.
Charters granted to new business
corporations—50, representing new
capital stock of $768,000.
Crude oil production 1,995,400 bar-
rels daily, or 96,800 barrels above
April and 492,000 barrels above May,
1943.

A crowd is not company, and fac-

MARCHING WITH MARTIN

EXPERIENCED!
JESSE E. MARTIN
FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL
The Only Ex-Service Man
in the Race!
Here you have a portrait of
4,000-pound Demolition BomL-
"Block-Buster" to you—not c
life-sized portrait, of course
but one which gives an idea of
the tremendous wallop it packs!
Here's the reason there's almost
just a prairie left where Berlin once
was. Day in, and night out, they're
being showered by thousands of
tons on Hitler's once proud cities,
flown to the spot by air-freight,
special delivery, each An ironic
contradiction to Herr Goering's
boast that Berlin could never
be bombed! They are pretty im
portant packages when it comes
to hastening Germany's defeat.
To the men and women who make
them we say, "You are doing a
real job that the free people of
this world will never forget!"
