Necessity for Public Support
The Same Can be Said of Nome
No municipality, district or
large area can hope to share all
■the federal, state, territorial or
commercial or other aids and
benefits to which it is entitled
without the united action of its
own people. Such action must
and always is carried on through
the cooperation of its more pub
lic spirited and hard working
citizens.
In practically every American
community the essential non-pol
dtacal agency for such purpose is
its Chamber of Corn-mere, or al
lied junior Chambers.
Right here in Fairbanks the
fact is amply demonstrated Ev
ery appeal to Congress, the Terri
tocry or influential branches of
government or the commercial
world, in order to receive accred
died recognition, must go through
some such representative body.
Now more than ever Fairbanks
witnesses the necessity of keep
ing alive the Chamber of Corn
mere. There are many projects
under way or in prospect for
which this body is working and
is expected to keep on working.
To perform this service it is
necessary to have revenues, dues
from the members—'and the mem
bers should be many. Everyone
residing in Fairbanks and vicin
ity reaps benefits from the ef
forts of the body. And by this
token it is a duty of all business
interests to support the institu
tion from which they benefit.
The Chamber is now obligated
several hundred dollars beyond
what it has in its treasury—and
-has much vital new work to per
form.
The situation is p'iain. Pay your
■dues promptly, and f you arej
not a member join up, and con-1
tribute your modest share. No
better investment can be made
by any individual or business con
cem.
And after contributing in dues
go a step further and attend the
Chamber meetings—always keen
and giving you contact with the
live-wire progressive men and
important visitors — people who
are sure to help open for you a
wider field for opportunity and
success. —Fairbanks News-Minei
Requested Changes of Names In
Old-Age Insurance Records Made
At The Rate of 1.500 A Day
With June wedding bells in
the offing the Social Security
Board is now preparing to han
dle its annual peak load of brid
al applications for changes in
names on their old-age insurance
accounts.
Weddings, differences between
actual names and those on the
pay roll, and just plain person
al preference have resulted in ap
proximately 1,000,000 changes in
the old-age insurance records,
according to Hugh J. Wade, Terri
torial Director of the Social Se
curity Boards office at Juneau,
Alaska.
He added that in response to
requests from workers with so
cial security accounts, changes
of names are being made at the
rate of 1,500 a day.
Mr. Wade explained that the
Board early recognized the de
sirability of recording not only
the actual name of a participant
in the old-age insurance system,
but his or her name as ib ap
pears currently on the pay roll.
Newly married women are re
sponsible for the greater percent
age of changes. The .proneness of
women to change their names is
also reflected in the request for
alterations in the records. For
example, numerous cases of wo
men named Elizabeth want to be
known as Betty, Lisbeth or Beth
or Bette or Lizzie, because their
names appear that way on the
pay roll. Aside from marriage,
the most frequent reason for a
change of name is the use of a
“working” name other than the
actual name of the wage earner.
To facilitate changes in the
records, the Board has distribut
ed at all field offices a form for
applicants to fill out showing the
name already appearing on the
records and the change desired.
