SS Office Has Your Pay Count If you are the nine outwent of earnings, if it does not of 10 working Americans pro-1 agree with your own record of tected under social security, Social Security Administration has a record of the earnings reported for you, according to Henry E. Kloza, district manager of the Fitchburg Social Security Office. Year after year, as long as you do work covered by the Social Security Law, regular reports of your earnings will go to the Social Security building in Baltimore to be added to your own personal social secu- rity record--the record that will some day help determine your right to benefits under the Social Security Act. The basic idea of social secu- riyt is a simple one, Kloza said. During working years, em- ployes, their employers, and sell-employed people pay social security contributions into trust funds.

Then, when earnings stop because of retirement, disability, or death, cash payments are made from the trust funds to you and your dependents, or to'your survivors. In addition, for those 65 or over there is Medicare, whicli provides hospital and medical insurance protection at a time when your income and resources are generally reduced, and susceptibility to major illness is increased. So it is very important that your social security record is accurate. If you want a statement of your social security account, you may chain form OAR-7004, "request for statement of earnings," from your Fitchburg Social Security Office. When you receive your state- your earnings, then you should write or visit your Social Security Office promptly.

Kloza strongly emphasized that the time in which corrections can be made is limited by law. Unless you report an error within 3 years, 3 months, and 15 days after the period covered by the report, correction of the error may not be possible. The Fitchburg Social Security Office is located at 154 Main St. it is open from 9 a. m.

to 7 p. m. on Thursday for the convenience of those who are unable to come I in during the regular hours. intmdL Fitchburg Sentinel, Friday, October 25, 1968 9 Light A Candle Of Hope The North Worcester County Association for Retarded Children offers hope for those who may remain children all their lives.

By moving the marble back anil forth, you can find thf place where it covers the moon's disc completely.

This is a total eclipse. Move the marble a bit to one side and it will represent a partial eclipse. What causes a lunar eclipse is that the moon enters the shadow cast by the earth away from the sun. Don't use your marble on the sun. It would hurt your eyes.

But you can set up a solar eclipse inside, as our picture shows. The flashlight is ihc sun; John holds a small ball on a i represent the moon. Notice the long shadow of the moon reaching down to touch the earth at just one point. If a person was standing at just such a point on the real earth, the sun be in total eclipse at that point. Because astronomers know the exact orbits used by earth and moon, they can predict just when eclipses Will happen and from where they can be seen.

The Workshop's Stratton Players, in their 43rd season, will present "The Irregular Verb to Love" by Hugh and Margaret Williams, as their first play of the 1968-69 season. The play will open on Monday, Nov. 18 and continue through Saturday, Nov. 23.

Mrs. Weikko Lento will direct the comedy, according to Alfred Aninger, chairman of the Stratton Players. "The Irregular Verb to Love" was first presented in London with one of the co-authors, Hugh Williams, in the role of Felix Rankin and Joan Greenwood as Hedda Rankin. The comedy was later produced in New York City with Cyril Ritchard and Claudette Colbert in the starring roles. This English comedy has been classified as a drawing room comedy by the critics, who welcomed its opening in London and fJew York, because the dialogue is brittle and witty in what is known as "drawing room" style; and its principal characters are a husband and wife of established soical position.

But drawing roms aren't what they used to be. There are some irregular manifestations of love that wouldn't meet the approval of a bishop, but there is nothing to offend. Playgoers will enjoy slick fiction seasoned with occasional laughter and a touch of wisdom. Mrs. Weikko Lehto has directed plays for the Stratton Players for a number of years.

A giftec actress herself, she has appeared in more than 40 productions her most recent being that of Rose Griggs. a silly fluttering wife of a retired general, in Lillian llellman's "Autumn Garden." She also directe'c that play. Besides acting anc directing, Mrs. Lehto is involve! in many community activities including chairman of this year's hospital fair.
