Tone to All in completely the individual wage rec ords required by the department, giving the name, address and social security number of each worker, plus the pay earned. Many wage slips, the commission er said, scorning to the central office fall to give this information with out which the department Is power less to pay benefits when the work ers Involved apply. Especially neglectful of the data are such employers as hotels, bowl ing alleys and construction com panies which hire "floating” workers during rush periods and do not bother to keep detailed records of the help which may be employed for only a week or two. In Illustrating his point, Com Sneezes, Snuffles! Anti-Pneumonia Sug gestion* Offered by State Health Official*. Dr. Alfred L. Burgdorf, epidemi ologist, speaking on the state de partment of health broadcast, listed nine rules to observe to act as a protective dike against pneumonia, for he declared that a common cold Is often a forerun ner of this more serious disease. In this Initial stage It Is frequently difficult to determine whether a common cold Is developing or the first stages of pneumonia. To be on the safe side, Dr. Burgdorf recommended a few sim ple health habits to make the so lution of the problem simpler. 1. Make It a practice to take your temperature with each so called cold. a. Oo to bed Immediately at the outset of each cold. 3. Call a doctor Immediately without delay If: a. You have a chill. b. You develop pain In your chest. c. If you run a fever. d. If you cough up colored sputum. e. If you are nauseated. f. If you are extremely fatigued. It Is not the Intention of health departments the doctor declared, to develop a fear complex in the minds of the public so that they have constant anxiety lest each sneeze and snuffle be really pne monla. But rather It believes In the principle that to “forewarn Is to forearm" and so it points out sane and rational habits which If adopted may avert disaster. It Is hardly to be expected that people will see a doctor for each common cold, but it should be come common practice to take heed of the oold and treat It as though it may be the early stages of pneumonia. Using precautions at the very beginning may limit the disease to a "common cold". By making these simple rules of health your guide of action when ever you develop a cold you will be able to prevent many serious consequences and when real dan ger arises you will be able to call In professional assistance. \ MEN WORE HATS LIKE THIS WHEN 01 ISON'S FIRST WAS KNOWN f OverlOOlkrs of Knowing How Few whitkie* of today ean match Gibaon’e ia one factor neoeaeary to the nuking of auoh auper latirely auootb whlakey.

"mlssloner Tone Mid that certain bowling alleys, for example, term their workers “pin boys" and give the total amount earned by the boys but omit their names, addresses and social security numbers. Other com panies often label the wprker on the wage slip as "Pete” or "Jack" and tell nothing more about him. That this practice causes a hard ship to the worker applying for beneAts was emphasized by the com missioner who Mid that when an application comes In and no wage records can be found Aled under the man’s social security number, his compensation Is withheld until they are located. For the same reason he urged bookkeepers and clerks to be careful when they copy social security num bers from their records onto the wage slips, pointing out that In numbers having nine digits each. Employers subject to the law who hired temporary workers to repair hurricane damage were also told to Ale complete Individual wage record Information for persons temporarily on the payroll. Mr. Tone added that the depart ment Is returning Incomplete wage slips to employers who submitted them and will continue to return them until the slips are Mtlsfac tory.
