Social Security
Squibs
Off with the old,
On with the new
But not Social Security
f would be the wrong thing to
do.
At some time in the life of
everyone, a social security
number is going to be needed.
To get one, you make a formal
application to the Social Se
curity Administration, and you
are given a little card with a
nine-digit number on it. This
number remains yours and
yours alone. If you get married
and change your name, or
change your name for any oth
er reason, you should notify so
cial security so a change in the
records can be made, and a new
card, with the same number,
can be given to you. You’ll save
a lot of time and trouble to
yourself and others if you make
sure you get a replacement if
you lose your card. If you make
a point of carrying one copy of
your social security card around
with you wherever you go, it
will always be handy when you
need it. Although you prob
ably won’t want one for every
wallet you have, it is wise to
have one card to carry and the
other to put away in a safe
place in case you lose your wal
let. The only cost to you is your
time and possibly a postage
stamp. The nearest Social Se
curity office in this area is at
101 E. Liberty St., Savannah,
Ga. but a representative comes
to the Courthouse in Pembroke,
Ga. She will be there next on
Monday, August 11, 1969 from
9:30 to 10:30 A.M.
Mrs. A. C. Turner had visit
ors for Sunday dinner. Coming
from Savannah were her niece,
and husband, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles NeSmith and son. Mr.
and Mrs. Michael Cassidy and
Pam, Mr. snd Mrs. Joey Giles
and son Bryan, and Mr. and
Mrs. Paul Mironch, Edward,

get together.
