^MV ONE NUMBER** ADVISES SOCIAL SECURIW BOARD
First (trants Are Mad«
Regardless of the number of em¬ ployers a wage worker may have, he can have only one account number or identification card for participa¬ tion in the Pederal old-age benefits system under the Social Security Act. the Social Security Board em¬ phasized today.
In is.suing this statement in re¬ sponse to inquiries from various sections of the country where workers having more than one empbyer have reported receipt of more than one id'ntlflcation card with differ¬ ing account numbers, the Board ad¬ vised each employee affected to take or send such cards to his local post OfBce. where proper correction will be made.
Tlie Board stated that this situ¬ ation was due to the erroneous be¬ lief on the part of employees that they should flle an application with respect to each Job.
In emphasliing that an employee can have only one Social Bectirlty Account number, the Board explain¬ ed that the number of the account is permanent and is not affected by number of Jobs engaged in or by changes in empoyment.
However, an employee who gives «ood reasons to the Social Security Board may have his account num¬ ber changed
Grants toUling $73,140 to cover the State budgets for the adminis¬ tration of the unemployment com¬ pensation laws in Pennsylvania and New Mexico were announced by the Social Security Board today. These grants are the flrst that t^ve been made to those States since the ap¬ proval of their unemployment com¬ pensation laws. The amount granted to Pennsylvania is $64,600 and will cover a period from December h ts December 31, 1936. The grant to New Mexico was for $7,940 to cover the period from December 33 t? December 31, 1936.

Nazareth Business Men To Meet At lofl To-morrow Night In Annual Chamber Of Commerce Meeting
$200,000,000 OF MOTORISTS'MONEY NAY BE MISAPPRO¬ PRIATED THIS YEAR
At lea.st one-fifth of a billion dol¬ lars paid by motroiat.s for construc¬ tion and maintenance of highways will be us<^d for general Ui)lceep of ';tate governments and other non- lighway purpo.se.s in 1937 unless con- titutional restraints are adopted
Thi.s is forecast by Roy F. Britton. Director of the National Highway TJ.sers Conferonce, Washin?*on. D. C, Dn the basis of current d'Velopments and official records of the United State.s  Bureau   of  Public   Roads
A beneficial .sign is noted at this time in the fact that in .six states diversion is proliibited. whilp pi ms to outlaw the practice are being ad¬ vanced in at least thirteen other states.
"State OfBcials," Mr. Britton de¬ clared, "are showing an increasing tendency to misappropriate highway funds for governmental activities which should be supported by gen¬ eral taxation. This is being done In the face of a growing wave of popular protest against that prac¬ tice and despite the fact that di¬ version of highway funds has been outlawed by direct vote of the people In every state where the issue has been clearly and simply submitted."

Favorable Farm Outlook Forecast For 1937 by Agri¬ cultural Economics Bureau
Harrisburg. Jan. 6—Looking into 1937 the Bureau of Agricultural Economics finds the farmers' pros¬ pects generally favorable.
Domestic demand for farm prod¬ ucts ts expected to improve, and the foreign-demand situation also ap¬ pears brighter. Industrial produc¬ tion Is expected to continue to ad¬ vance in this country. The National income will probably be about ten per cent, higher in 1937 than it has been In ItM. No great expansion In the foreign market for agricul¬ tural products is in prospect, but the reciprocal trade agreements program of the United States and various moves  toward   relaxation   of  trade
barriers abroad make the foreign picture a little brighter than it has been in recent years.
In general,  farm   prices lire   ex¬ pected to stay at high levels in 1937. although  some  decline  Is probable I in the laet half of the year if crop I production  is more  nearly average than it was in 1936. I CredH PleiitMal
