QUESTION NO. 13
Question: Is it necessary for an
employee to have his account num-
ber card with him at all times
should the employer keep it ?
Answer: The employer should mak(
a record of the employee's account
number, but in no case should the
employer keep the account number
card of employees. Employers hold-
ing cards of their ex-employees
should try to find these workers and
return their cards to them. If em-
ployers are unable to return such
cards, they should be forwarded to
the nearest field office of l lie Sicial
Security Board.
It is not necessary that the em-
ployee keep his account number card
with him at all times. After he tells
his employer his number, he should
then place the card in a safe place
and in addition should make a re.oni
of his number in case the card i.
lost. An employee should have onl>
one number all his lifetime and need
not apply for a new card if he
changes employers. If lie loses the
card, h^ may apply to the near. st
field office oi the Social Security
Board for a duplicate, but .11 110

Haskell To Hold
Two-Day Race
Meet Julv 3 & 4
Apermont Band To (Aspermont School
Haskell, June 23— With the five-
eighths mile race track in Rice
Spring Park at Haskell in readiness
for the automobile races to be held
July 3 and 4, fans of this sport are
assured plenty of thrills at the two
oi | day meet, states Gene Tonn, cha;rman
of the racing committee.
Sixteen drivers have already sign-
ed for thi' me At and others are con-
templating signing within the next
■ w days. This will be ample driver:
to insure plenty of competition.
Since the race meet last fall on
the Haskell track, many drivers have
•eporti d t hat they ar<. overhauling
heir cars and installing double over-
head valves in order to "step-up" the
speed of their machines. They found
that this track, unlike the tracks on
which they had been driving, was too
.ast for single overhead job.
Despite the fact that racers last
,'«.ar had t() contend with a muddy
track, a new t'me trial record was
set by Morris Mu. ick, Dallas, at 3«.2
seconds. (lene Tonn who has been
connected with automobile races here
since they were first started in 11121
tates that this is 3.2 seconds lower
xn.au any previous record.
Music hung up the record with a
ingle overhead job, and with plenty
oi double overhead
he meet this year
.il< .nt\ of smashing
records.

Wash ngton, D. C., June 23— Ad
voeating complete independence for
Philippine Islands as a vital peace
insurance policy for the United Stat-
es, Congressman George Mahon last,
week asked the House of Representa-
tives to consider legi-lation making
ndependence possibe in 1038 or 1039.
I he lire-sent law provides for com-
i lete withdrawal of the United States
in l'.Mii.
In hi.- address to the House, Mahon
•'tat. (l: "We are i-gi.dating for neu-
trality. We are bent oil preserving
I ace for America regardless of war
in Europe or Asia. We are far from
Europe, but as long as we maintain
our sovereignty in the Philippines,
we are liable t0 be in the middle of
:i conflict in the Orient. This is most
unfortunate, and this untenable posi-
tion should be terminated at the ear-
liest possible moment. It is one of
the major threats to peace for the
t nited States."
He also pointed out tliat in addi-
t.on to being a war hazard, the Phil-
ippines have been and still are a
very expensive financially to the
l nited States. The total actual cost
to the United States for all depart-
ments of the government which have
iade expenditures in the Islands
i ruin 16H8 to tiie present year was
-.-t mated at approximately $000,000,-
"10. Annual expend tures for the Ar-
my and Navy in the Philippines is
14,500,000, and under the present
law t.iii.. expense will recur each year
until 10-1G. The Congressman stated
■at these millions could best b>.
i-i.nl in America in the development
e institutions of th s country.

. isuiar Auairs Committee wiiich

cepted invitations to attend, tiie Tex-
as Cowboy Reunion to be held in

-New Lighting System
Installation of a new lighting- sys-
tem which tiie designing engineer
sa\ s will give tiie Texas Cowboy Re-
in i. on the best lighted rodeo arena in
the world is being completed this
-<ek. The lighting efficiency will be
• mid only to Madison Square Gar-
deii, which is not primarily a rodeo
arena, A. Largent, illuminating en-
meer for the West Texas Utilities
ompany, explained.
Twenty-six 1500-watt lamps, o-
perating with an over voltage of 12
per cent, will give a total of 49 Vi
kilowatts of lighting for the new
sy.-tem. The lamps are suspended
from overhead cables and are spaced
approximately 40 feet apart each
v, ay and 40 feet from the ground. All
, oles have been removed from in
i rout of the grandstands. The new
.-ystem v. 11 give uniform lighting,
i'reo from shadows and has been
carefully designed lor the benifit oi
tioth contestants and spectators, ac-
1 ruing lo Mr. Largent. W. G. Swen-
-•"ii, president- of the Texas Cowboy
i o union, worked closely with Lar-
-ent in designing the system.
i he flood lights formerly used for
the rodeo arena have been placed at
other points about the grounds, light-
g tiie parking grounds, the chuck
agon area and the grounds about
tne Cowboy Bunkhouse.
Mr. Largent said the new system
would likely be ready to be tested
out next Monday or Tuesday night.
