services on active duty will be brought under' the old-age and survivors insurance program of the social security system on a permanent contributory basis after 1956 under provisions of the Servicemen's and Veterans' Survivors Benefits Act which President Eisenhower signed into law on August 1 This means regular social security credit for service personnel for their jrears of active service in uniform after 1956 without affecting the military retirement pay of career soldiers and sailors Beginning with January 1 1957 military personnel of all grades will be covered by social security during active service and will be building personal and family protection under the program in substantially the same way as have been 9 out of 10 persons in civilian employment and self-employment The Federal Government and the servicemen will share the social scurity tax in the same manner as employers and employees in private industry This tax will be at the same rate as that provided for civilian workers and employers For service- men the social security tax will n- be on the service basic pay and will not be imposed on SUch items as the value of food shelter and various allowances and special pay It is contemplated that the service deparments will report wages of military personnel generally in the same manner that employers now report covered wages paid to civilian employees Social security account number cards will be issued to members of the armed forces under special procedures It will not be necessary for servicemen tocon-' tact social security district offices to apply for cards While contributory social security coverage for members of the uniformed services will not begin until January 1 1957 there will be no gap in social security protection to servicemen and their families as the noncontributory wage credits of $160 a month provided by the old law have been extended through December 31 1956 Those special social security wage credits had been given for military service beginning September 1940 but until this adjustment was made had been cut off at March 1956 Heretofore a career person in A the armed services could not expect to get the $160-a-month military wage credits under old-age and survivors insurance be- they have increased steadily month by month Educational activities are taxing the Patrol personnel to the limit Yet the accident figures continue to mount Patrol officials are diligently looking for the answers One new one has beat offered by the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness Dr Franklin Foote society executive director says that faulty vision causes many accidents because the eye disease called glaucoma affects many persons who fail to realize their failing sight before tragedy strikes Foote says that only half of the million Americans with this disease realize they have it One principal effect is to danger peri peril vision what we can see to our right and left "Poor vision undoubtedly enters into the picture but even more than that is failure many driven to give full attention to their driving 'None are so blind as those who will not said Patrol Chief Jack Roll'ns "We know that violating traffic laws causes about 90 percent of all accidents Therefore wr are pleading with the motorinf public to observe the law times It is their only hope o' staying alive in he Motorists Cautioned To Observe Traffic Laws and Live With thousands of vacationists planning one last summer fling all safety agencies are looking forward witl dread towards the next 14 days The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety is no exception The Labor Day weekend has always proved a deadly one in Oklahoma In the past three years an average of ten persons have died on that weekend The best record was last year when only five died Two years ago the toll was 14 and three years ago traffic accidents claimed 11 lives over the weekend In the light of the state's record for the year to date it is difficult to look forward to the week-end with optimism Sixty more persons have sacrificed their lives on the altar of careless driving in the year to date than in the same period last year If this rate continues the yearly toll will be 637 the same is for the year 1937 when public opinion clamored for a Safety Department to lessen the dangers of driving on the highway Strict enforcement and general educational campaigns which in past years seemed to keep the situation under control this year have proved less than adequate Patrol arrests and written courtesy warnings show great increases over last year In fact Dial PR 4-2202 24-Hour Wrecker Service Stilwell Oklahoma Oklahoma City Aug 23 (Special) No pun intended but Oklahoma cotton literally jnade these Maids of Cotton
