and Williams pointed out. ''yet few
people know just what a bank does.
The more people who understand a
bank's functions, the more they will
be able to utilize its many services
and the more smoothly the, local
economy will operate."
"If there is any mystery about
banks or bankers, we hope it will
be dispelled during "Know Your
Bank Week."
Banks throughout the State are
planning special events during the
five-day observance, including open
houses, exhibits, tours for school
children and other special groups.
ONE SIDED GAMES
CARTHAGE, N. C. — (/P) — A
woman witness in Recorder's Court
was charged with assault with c
deadly weapon—a stove lid. Scene
of the affray was a night spot,
well known to police.
"And what were all of you do
ing when the fight began," asked
County Solicitor W.
Brown.
"We was playing syndicated
games," the woman said.
She explained: "Syndicated
games is where there's three
four against one. That's what
was playing — everybody against
me. and I had to do the best I
could."

RECEI\ ES PROMOTION — M/Sgt. Jeremiah J. Wigley was recently
promoted to Major, United States Army Reserve. Wigley, an Instruc
tor in the Department of Military Science and Tactics at Northeastern
University, was presented with his new reserve commission in the
grade of Major by Colonel M. D. Harris, Professor of Military Science
and Tactics.
Master Sergeant Wigley joined the ROTC Staff at Northeastern in
September of 1954. During 11 of the 17 years active service in the
Army, Wigley was an officer. A combat veteran of six European Cam
paigns and two Korean Campaigns, he was awarded the Bronze Star
Medal during the action in Europe. Wigley is one of the few soldiers
who has held every grade in the Army from Private through all the
grades of Sergeant, to Warrant Officer Junior Grade and through the
Officer grades to his present grade of Major.
Not only is Wigley a combat veteran, he is also an ROTC veteran,
as he completed a tour of duty at the University of Tennessee where
he was Instructor, and Coach of the University Rifle Team.
Master Sergeant Wigley, presently living in Natick, Massachusetts,
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Wigley of Milford, and is a graduate
of Milford High School. The Sergeant, a Captain in World War II,
commanded a unit of Engineers that successfully built a Rhine crossing
bridge, and by some stroke of coincidence, that action appears in the
Ten Years Ago column on page nine of this issue of the Chronicle.
Social Security News
"If you pay $17 a month or more
to your baby-sitter or maid, you will
probably have to pay a social se
curity tax in April," Myron Mil
bouer, manager of the Wilmington
district office of the Social Security
Administration, said today. Starting
January 1, 1955, any household
worker who is paid $50 or more
cash wages by one employer in a
calendar quarter, such an January
through March, is covered by the
amended Social Security Act. The
length of time worked no longer
matters.
This means that work of cooks,
maids, housekeepers, gardeners,
chauffeurs, and other workers in a
private home counts toward eli
gibility for retirement or death
payments under old-age and sur
vivors insurance if they are paid
at least $50 cash wages by one
ployer in a calendar quarter. Wages
othe.r than in cash—such as board
and room—do not count. If the
household work is done on a farm
operated for profit, it is covered
only if $100 cash is paid during the
year to the domestic employee, Mil
bouer explained.
Two percent of the cash wage is
withheld from any payment made to
oïl 66- ThG t e i n I ployer then
adds a like amount of his own and
pays the total of 4% of wages
tax to the Internal Revenue Service

every three months. For instance,
in April employers will pay the tax
for January, February, and March.
Workers in a farm household will
be reported on the same basis
other agricultural employees.
"It is important." Milbouer said,
"that an employer sees that each
employee who might become cov
ered has a social security number
and takes down a record of the
worker's exact name and number."
He explained that household work
ers who need either a first social
security card or a replacement for
a lost card should contact the So
cial Security office at once, as it
takes a few days to get a card. Also
available at those offices are pam
phlets for the use of both employ
ees and employers.
He pointed out that it is still
possible for a household worker to
work every day in a quarter and
not be covered under social securi
ty—if the worker does not earn $50
cash wages from any one of his em
ployers in a calendar quarter of the
year. Milbouer also cautioned that
work done for a son or daughter is
not covered by social security.

In the afternoon, the cancer cara
van will proceed to Georgetown,
where it will be met by Mayor Har

kick-off event will be a dinner

Dr. Leslie M. Dobson, of Milford,

The two affairs will give volun
teer workers in the Crusade in both
counties an opportunity to hear the
optimistic, enthusiastic story of the
many ways in which medical
search and local volunteer efforts
are joining hands to bring control
of this dread disease ever closer.
Armies of volunteer workers will
start canvassing their neighbor
hoods and business firms on April
1 for local support in battling this
killer.
More than a mere fund-raising
effort, however, the Cancer Crusade
will also serve as a means of reach
ing local residents with vital in
formation about the symptoms
which may indicate the presence of
cancer,
rc
and the many services
which the Delaware Division of the
American Cancer Society stands
ready to offer those afflicted. At
each place where they call, volun
teers will leave literature, particu
larly emphasizing the seven danger
signals of cancer and stressing the
fact that early detection is at pres
ent our best defense against this
disease.
Among New Castle County resi
dents prominent in the cancer fight
who will accompany the Crusade
caravan will be Mrs. William N.

vice-chairman of the Cancer Socie

Lung Caucus On Bill
Members of the Democratic ma

afternoon in a caucus argument on
The voting was almost under way
Senator Melson obtained
when
recognition.
"As much as I think of the vol
unteer fire companies." he said, "I'm
afraid I'll have to vote against this
bill for this reason :
If this tax affected insurance
companies only insofar as their
business in Delaware is concerned.
I might be able to support it. But,
unfortunately, it puts our Delaware
companies in a very poor position
to meet their competition in other
states.
' For instance, if a Delaware cor
poration writes fire insurance in
Pennsylvania, it will no longer pay
the normal gross premiums tax of
•8 per cent—which I think is the
Pennsylvania rate—but will, be

be forced to pay the full three and
one-half per cent.
"It seems to me that there must
be a point at which fire insurance
companies incorporated in the state
of Delaware would simply have to
give up. This bill, it seems to me,
would tend to encourage them to
move—and to discourage others
from coming into the state.
"It appears, in fact, that this pro
posal might well be the axe that
kills the golden goose."
In view of the fire companies' ap
parent need for additional revenues.
Senator Melson suggested, perhaps
the General Assembly should con
sider some other form of tax in
crease.
"I'd suggest a stamp tax on
deeds," he said, "similar to the fed
eral one imposed every time a piece
of property changes hands. The fed
eral rate. I believe, is $1.10 on each
$1,000 worth of property.
"There is no such stamp tax in
Delaware, although many other
states, including Pennsylvania, use
one. It could net perhaps $100.000
or more a year, without additional
administrative expense. It could be
handled right in the office of the
recorder of deeds."

Absentee Voting
Law Under Attack
(Continued from page 1)
The hearing ended shortly after
4 p. m., after Mr. Lank had made a
brief plea for excluding himself
from all of the tactics employed by
his attorneys.
Other questioners included Reps.
James H. Snowden (R-Wilmington)
and Henry H. Wolf (R-Newark). At
one time the argument moved into
the possibility of fraudulent voting
but Mr. Houston Wilson made it
plain that there was no implication
of this in his petition for a manda
mus in the court or for a declara
tion of invalidity of the absentee
law before the House.
