Needs New Name The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, Board of Supervisors are asking the citizens of this District to furnish a new name for the District that will better represent all the Counties (Culpeper, Greene, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock). In 1938 Culpeper County was the only County in the presently constituted five-county District and the name was Culpeper County Soil Conservation District. In the next several years Greene, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock Counties individually voted to be included in this District, retaining the original name. The Supervisors believe that another name would better represent all counties and would aid in the Soil and Water Conservation effort. Would you submit your choice of name Soil and Water Conservation District to the SWCD Board of Supervisors representative in your county? Culpeper County: T. G. Ragsdale, P. O.

April Is Cancer Crusade Month. Lashing tongues of flame lap hungrily at the frame house of Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Edwards at Castieton as the building was completely destroyed by Are Tuesday night. The family of five was left homeless, without any funiiture and only the clothes they wore when they escaped from the raging inferno. Two stone chimneys and a pile of twisted metal is all that remains. Tuesday Night Fire Leaves Castieton Family Homeless A Castleton family of five was < left homeless Tuesday night when ! their house was destroyed by fire. Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Edwards were awakened shortly before eleven o’clock by their dogs barking, to find the house rapidly filling with smoke and flames apparent in the rear section of the building. They with their three children fled to safety in the nick of time, some in night clothes and whatever could be grabbed in flight. The Edwards family had retired about 9:30, as usual and were roused by the do**, Dobecmnl Pinschers, which they breed and sell. Three of the animals perished in the fire. The family barely reached safety before the frame building was engulfed in flames which eagerly lapped up its contents, leaving the Edwards absolutely nothing. A storage building nearby also burned. Castleton Fire Company was quickly summoned and on the scene, but the building was a raging inferno and efforts to save it were futile. Amissville, Flint Hill and Sperryville fire companies also responded but all that could be accomplished was prevention of the fire spreading and keeping a propane tank cool. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards moved to Castleton about two years ago to the former Mamie Leake property. He is employed in Maryland as a welder.

Dodson was cited for reckless driving. Three vehicles were involved in a collision on Route 211 in Amissville Monday. Andrew J. Weakley of Falls Church operating a 60-61 Chevrolet was attempting to pass a 1953 station wagon driven by Stanley F. Settle of Amissville as Settle made a left turn into Jenkins Garage.

Marsh, oui - representative in Congress fron the seventh district. I would hop< that others who feel as I do aboul the proposed extension of votinj age will join me by showing theii support, and encouraging oui representative to help secure ita passage. Edward E. Clark, Jr Honorable John O. Marsh, D-Va. United States House of Representatives Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Marsh: I am writing this letter to urge you to support the current bill providing for the extension of the voting privilege to eighteen yeai olds. I feel that such action u long overdue, and greatly needed to preserve the dynamic quality of our United States. As an eighteen-year-old myself, I was elated when the bill successfully passed Senate approval. The real challenge, however, comes from the opposition in the House of Representatives. Representative Emanuel Sellers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, leads the attack on the bill, claiming that a Constitutional amendment is necessary to institute the proposed change. The fact that several states have already passed legislation to lower the voting age indicates that this argument is not entirely valid, since no amendments to the Constitution were made in any of these cases. AD action was at the state level. While the states have traditionally been allowed to regulate the voting laws for themselves, the fact remains that the election of the President or a delegate to the Congress is a matter of national magnitude, and should therefore have a uniform set of regulations set at the national level, i.e., by the Congress. Any other action would be in direct contradiction of the Voting Rights Bill, which is supposed to prevent discrepancies in voting practice. I am sure you will give this matter its due amount of consideration, then act accordingly. Once again I urge you to support this bill and work toward its passage. very truly yours, Edwin E. Clark, Jr. Flint Hill, Va. Poison Prevention Week Mar. 15-21 While announcing the week of March 15-21 as National Poison Prevention Week the National Planning Council for the annual observance estimates that 500,000 children will be victims of accidental poisoning this year. Seventy-three Virginians died as a result of accidental poisoning in 1969 according to the State Health Department’s Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics. “There is no way to tell how many ‘near misses’ there were in the state,” said Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, State Health Commissioner. Aspirin is the mo6t common cause of accidental poisoning. Children have been known to eat ehtire bottles of aspirin thinking that it was candy. After eating the aspirin the child’s vital organs slow down, not enough blood is circulated and too little oxygen is taken in. Slowly the child lapses into a coma. If treatment isn’t administered quickly the body’s vital functions cease entirely. Products marked “poison” usually receive proper respect, yet some which do not bear that label may be equally dangerous. Insect sprays, kerosene, lighter fluid, some furniture polishes, turpentine, paints, solvents, cleaning fluids and detergents fall Into this group. “Growing children are curious and will eat and drink almost anything," said Dr. Shanholtz, “and we must be persistent in keeping children and poisons •* Panther Tales By Sandra Payne Hey!

National Wildlife Week March 15-21 “Seen Any Wildlife Lately?” at first sounds like a simple-minded question, but in context with today’s problems, it’s loaded. If you live out in the' country (which most Americans don’t), chances are you can say, “Sure. Just this morning I saw. . .” and start naming animals. If you live in a model city or one of the better-planned suburbs, you may have seen a variety of birds, some squirrels, and maybe a raccoon or a hawk; or luckier yet, you may have unpolluted water nearby where you caught some fish last weekend. Unfortunately, if you are like the average American, the place where you live has had too much “Progress” for any of this to be possible. Pigeons, sparrows, and rats are wild, after a fashion, but they are about all that’s left in the polluted air and in and around the filthy water and miles of concrete most Americans call home. “Seen Any Wildlife Lately?” It’s a good question, because wildlife is a measure ol the quality of man’s environment Who needs wildlife? In the | sense that many wild creatures are a step ahead of us in their sensitivity to polluted air and water, chemical pesticides, and the absence of naturalness- in essence an indicator of environmental quality-we all need wildlife for our survival. For when these other creatures are gone, what’s left is a squalid environment for us. Park Centers Open Easter • The Visitor Centers at Dickey Ridge and Big Meadows will be open beginning Easter weekend this spring, announced R.

Edito Today s Woman Jody Burtner Extension Agent, Home Ecenomke National Poison Prevention Week • 1970 , President Richard Nixon in Proclamation 3954 has designated the week beginning March 15, 1970, as National Poiaon Prevention Week. The text of the proclamation follows: The number of deaths among children | because of poisoning continues to I decline. Many segments of our ( society have worked together to achieve this result and we can be proud of their efforts. However, despite the progress we have made, the potential for poisoning is increasing. Medicines are being used more widely than before, and our advancing technology continues to make available for household use new products and materials which may be harmful if used improperly. It is more important than ever before that medicines be kept out of the reach of children, as well as household cleaners. The warning on medicines also goes to adults. Always read the label before using any preparation. Follow the direction; never take more than what is recommended. Dispose of unused prescription drugs when they are no longer needed or when illness is over. A warning should also be given on the use of vitamins. Never give vitamins to a child unless they are recommended by a doctor. The reason for this is that there are two vitamins: A and D that are stored in the body. A buildup of these or a great excess can result in crippling and blindness, and has in some cases resulted in death. If a child is receiving good nutritious food daily, vitamin supplements are not needed. Let’s observe National Poison Prevention Week by thinking of the poison hazards that exist in our homes and removing them. We may not have children, but children do visit and do explore.

Box 602, Rt 1, Culpeper What’s Happening In Education By Kenneth W. Stanley The year Just ended proved to De quite eventful for the field of Education. According to Ben Brodinaky who has written an urticle for the Educational Press Association of America, ten major educational events characterized the period. Early in the year, Dr. Arthur R. Jensen, an educational psychologist at the University of California published a report in the "Harvard Educational Review”, in which he claimed that on the basis of research, Negroes hsye lower intelligence than whites as a result of genetic make-up and not because of Improverished environments. His research was disputed by a number of reputable medical doctors and psychologists. James E. Alien, Jr., U. S. Commissioner of Education, created a nation-wide debate by citing facts than one out of every four students has significant reading deficiencies and calling upon educators to formulate problems to remedy this condition which affects all other areas of education. He mentioned that, "about half of the unemployed youth, ages 16-21, are functionally illiterate”. During the year, student unrest and demonstrations made themselves evident on one college campus after another including: Harvard, City College of New York, Dartmouth, Columbia, Stanford, Howard University, Hofstra, and the University of Wisconsin. Issues underlying many of the disturbances seemed to be student concern over national priorities as set by the government, and irrelvant courses in the universities. Many college administrators responded with a two prong attack-“a get-tough policy” and a greater degree of student participation on governing boards. Many of the demonstrations and demands which began in colleges, found their way into high school corridors by year's end. Junior and Senior High Schools in rural areas were not spared. Disturbances seemed to be caused by more immediate matters in secondary schools such as dress codes, length of hair, underground newspapers, and dissatisfaction with courses and instruction. .Concerning hair styles, Dr. M. E. Alford, Superintendent of Portsmouth City Public Schools said, “We’re interested in what goes on in the head, not what’s on top of jt”. During the year thousands' i6f principals used students' ideas to effect improvement in regulations and claaaroom Instruction. Across the nation, several vocal and articulate parent groups led attacks on sex education In the public schools. The American Medical Association and the National Education Association were primary targets of the attacks, but even the State Board of Education in Richmond was exposed to the anger of parents who did not want their children exposed to sex Instruction In public schools. Among the groups opposed to such instruction were, the “Mothers for Moral Stability”, and the “People Against Unconstitutional Sex Education”. Under fire, many school divisions withdrew such courses from their curriculum, but according to the “Gallup Poll”, seventy-one per cent adults surveyed wanted public schools to offer such courses. During the year, Educators found themselves with yet another problem-increased use of drugs by students in colleges and public schools, sometimes reaching even into the elementary grades. Many public meetings were held with parents to bring the problem into the open. On the state levels, many curriculum guides on “Drugs” were prepared and distributed for use in classrooms with students. Several other events occurred during the year-some of which set precedents and others which seem to indicate trends for the years ahead. The United States Supreme Court ruled that school districts must end segregation “at once", which had the effect of canceling the Court's previous view that school desegregation should proceed with “all deliberate speed”. Educators, through recently formed and powerful lobbys, convinced Congress to add one billion dollars to Mr. Nixon’s 1970 Education budget. As the year ended, the fate of these additional funds were uncertain because Mr. Nixon insisted that the increases would be inflationary and therefore he intended to veto the bill. Perhaps one of the more signigicant longterm events occurred in Flint, Michigan. In that city the “memberships of the punt Education Association, an affiliate of the N. E. A., and the Flint Federation of Teachers, a local of the American Federation of Teachers, approved a merger of the two organizations”. George D. Fisher, President of the Matlena) todtieationl AatbeiVtkm, predicted that the Flint merger was just the first of many mergers acroaB the nation. FEDERAL and STATE INCOME TAX SERVICE JOHN J.

Safari to Kenya, Africa By Mrs. Lois Sevareid I hasten to explain that the Swahili word, ‘safari’, means any journey, lest my readers imagine me in an impeccably tailored Brooks Brothers Safari outfit; astride an elephant, with big-game; rifle on the ready. Indeed, I saw hundreds' of” herds, Sind Other groupings of game during' my three weeks in Kenya and! Uganda, without even taking a shot with a camera. Kenya borders Somali and thn Indian Ocean on the east, Lake Victoria and Uganda on the west, Tanzania on the south, and Ethiopia and the Sudan on the north. It has an area of-225,000 square miles, about twice the area of New Mexico. The equator crosses the country about one hundred miles north of Nairobi, Kenya’s capitol. Mombassa, Kenya’s seaport on the Indian Ocean, is tropical. However, the land rises almost immediately from the sea to a high plateau, from 3,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level, so the climate is most temperate in and around Nairobi, where the eleveation is between five and six thousand feet. The temperature seldom gets above 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or below 55 degrees the whole year round. Most of the country north and east of Mt. Kenya is arid, though not quite desert, and this involves about three-fifths of the total land mass of the country. The plateau between Nairobi and the sea is semi-arid, and does support herds of big game. Mt. Kenya is a 17,040 foot snow-capped peak, fitting. practically. pntheequ^tor. Reports of explorers in the latter half of the nineteenth century, that there were snow-capped peaks on the equator, were met with derision in London scientific societies. Of course, today, with people trotting back and forth to the moon, and making wondrous discoveries everyday, there is not much we won’t believe. Many of Kenya’s mountain ranges, west and north of Nairobi, are forest-covered. To the West of Nairobi, beyond the Rift, are the ‘White Highlands’. This is where mpst of the European and South African settlers established farms fertile land, with good rainfall. Also to the west of Nairobi is the African Rift, running north and south. This is a geological fault, which dropped the land 2000 to 3000 feet below the surrounding countryside. The rift contains many volcanic peaks, now dormant and barren. There are chains of freshwater lakes, supporting fish and other aquatic life, including hippopotami, the bird population is varied and numerous, and there is rainfall enough for vegetation to support herds of big game.

Snow pelted Rappahannock County and areas close by Wednesday morning anjl the soggy accumulation measured five inches. This scene at Panorama is typical of the way moat of the county looked. Enough snow fell in Culpeper to cover the ground but soon turned to rain. The Arabs were the only non-African (negro) peoples raching the interior of the country before the European explorers, who arrived in the latter half of the nineteenth century^ in search of the headwaters of the white Nile, which were duly discovered to be in Lake Victoria. With the building of the railroad from Mombassa to Uganda by the British, around the turn of the century, many laborers, and others, were brought from India, and even after the railroad was completed, most remained, to form the nucleus of Konya’s Indian colony, numbering around 40,000 today. They are the skilled artisans and shopkeepers of Kenya. Many retained their British citizenship when Kenya became independent in 1963, and now find themselves virtually stateless, since Great Britian now limits the number of its former colonials who may come into Britain. Europeans, most of them English and South Africans, came in to settle on farms in the early twentieth century, around the time Kenya became a British colony. Today Europeans number probably no more than 15,000. Many left-'-irt^he *time <e#*.‘the Mau-Mau uprisings and Independence, after which there was considerable confiscation of land holdings by the government. The remainder of Kenya’s ten million population, about 95%, are African, 84% of whom live in rural areas. Most of Kenya is ‘rural area’. Only Nairobi and Mombassa could be classified as cities. There are a few towns established by the white settlers; otherwise there are only tiny cross-road villages, and open country. There are some forty different African tribes in Kenya. each with its own language. English is the official language, but Swahili is widely used, in radio and T.V. programs, for example. Since there are only 58 radios per 1,000 inhabitants, and less than two T.V. sets per 1,000 inhabitants, it can be imagined that not much of the population is well informed on national and International affairs. The three daily newspapers together produce less than one copy per thousand inhabitants, which is not.. too amazing when you consider that the population is 75% illiterate. I hope you will forgive my geographical and historical digressions. I have felt a little summary of vital statistics was in order, since Kenya is certainly not in the mainstream of twentieth century life. Except for the Mau Mau activities leading to independence from the British in 1963, and a political assassination or two since, about all the general American public hears about Kenya are the tales of tourist safaris for big game.

Air Pollutants Reduce Sunlight “By 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one-hair* (as predicted by Life magazine scientists) is an added emphasis to one of the five programs of the local Tuberculosis and Health Association. Believing that the upcoming generation may literally have to fight for air to breathe in many localities near congested areas, principals with science and biology department heads in 45 schools in the area have been contacted by Mrs. Gladys L. Harris, executive director of the health organization. Assistance is being offered in the study of environmental ecology..and encouragement, of action by the future citizens who will be affected. As early as 1980, ten yean from now, it is predicted that air pollution combined with a temperature inversion will kill thousands in U. S. cities. Those dying from the lack of oxygen in such “blanketing coverages’’ are usually infants and persons with chronic respiratory disabilities, such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma. Regardless of how clean or clear the air may seem in any one locality, there is always the danger of winds bringing in air pollutants, unseen In the form of oxides, which can create a health hazard, not only for those who already have health impairment but for the persons who are considered healthy. Educators and instructors have expressed a keen interest and understanding, according to Mrs. Harris, and are planning many different approaches to involve not only the science or biology students but to alert the entire student body. Citizeiis can assist by donating magazines and books with articles on environmental pollution to their school libraries for use as references. The other four areas of program emphasis by the Tuberculosis and Health Associations are elimination of tuberculosis, anti-smoking, research for alleviating distress of respiratory patients and tealth-weUaie. spnmMi Meet John Affleck You Potomac Edison representative for • FRIGIDAIRE APPUANCES • ELECTRIC HEATING John b a specialist.

E. in Front Royal Marriages Last Longer in Rappk. How high is the divorce rate in Rappahannock County compared with -the rate in other communities? How many local residents have been divorced? How many have remarried? For the great majority of men and women in the local area, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime undertaking. For others, who start out with equally high hopes, their marriages end up on the rocks. Data recently obtained from the Department of Commerce from the Population Reference Bureau and others indicate the current trends in divorce. In Rappahannock County, it| appears, there are fewer divorced! people, in proportion to population, than are found in most parts of the United States. According to the latest estimates, Bome< 34' out of every "1,000 local residents over the age of 14 are either divorced or separated from their spouses. That is exclusive of the number who were divorced previously but have remarried. The rate compares favorably with the rate in other areas of the United States, where it averages 47 per 1,000. In the State of Virginia, it is 46 per 1,000. Special interest centers on the divorce situation at this time because of the actions taken in many states in the last few years extending the grounds for divorce. In California, for example, if a couple appears before a judge and states that “irreconcilable differences” exist between them, he can grant a divorce forthwith. In New York State, where adultery was the basic ground for divorce for many years, five new grounds have been added, including separation for two years or more. If a couple can show that they have been living apart for that length of time under an agreement, they can get a divorce for that reason alone. Based upon the latest sampling survey of the country, the number of divorced and separated persons In Rappahannock County • s now estimated at; approximately 130. In general, it has been found that for every person In the nation who la currently divorced there are about 2'/j persons who have remarried after having been divorced. “If I forget thee, 0 Zion, let my right hand forget her cunning.” So wrote a homesick Jew during the Babylonian exile. Having been a wanderer myself, I know somethingof the poignant longings one feels for the old hometown. It is a priviledge to return, even for a little while. A friend told me recently of an experience he had as a young man. He was being prepared for surgery of a very delicate nature. His surgeon asked him if he had prayed for the success of the operation. He told the surgeon that he didn’t pray, but somehow he felt comforted when his surgeon said in a very reverent manner; “I have.” Did he pray in this manner; “O God, may my hand retain all its skill as this young man’s life hangs in the balance, be with both of us that his life may be spared to glorify Thee.” I don’t know how he prayed but it was effective. I wonder how many souls have been led to God because a man prayed. Jesus said we should ‘pray without ceasing’. It is a wonderful priviledge to pray, to talk to the Father. DO it OFTEN. Early Compliance Speeds Farm Pymts. Farmers participating in the feed grain and wheat programs can help assure themselves of program payments in July or August by complying with the program provisions just as soon as time, weather, and crop growth allow. So reported H.S. Birb»dWe,. Chairman, .of Rappahannock County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Committee, He pointed out that the U.S Department of Agriculture thh year has set mid-August as the target date for completion ol 1970 farm program payments to participating producers in the feed grain and wheat programs. In previous years final payments in Rappahannock County sometimes have not been completed until September. Sign-up for the farm programs is now under way at the County ASCS Office and will continue through March 20. The ASC Committee Chairman urged eligible producers to sign up early for the programs and also to request measurement service when they sign up if they have not already done so. Measurement service is offered at cost by the County ASCS Office and provides assurance to producers that they are in compliance with the programs if they go exactly by the measurements.

Todays Litterings Once upon a time, today, there are three Littertrugs: Papa Litterbug, Mama Lltterbug and Baby Litterbug. Theae Utterbugs travel all the highways and byway* of this great Commonwealth. Everywhere these Litterbug* travel -• walk or run - they leave their tracks. Papa Litterbug throws his beer .cans,* whiskey bottles and other garbage out of the window of the family car. Mama Litterbug must get rid of all of her trash, such as tissues, cigarette packs and drink bottles, all at once. Thus adding more clutter to roads and parking areas. Baby Litterbug naturally follows the examples which are set by his elders. It is fun to see the paper fly through the air, hear the metalic ring of the cans as they clash with the pavement and the crash and clinking of glass as it splatters oyer the asphalt. The family car glides across the countryside leaving a trail behind. After many trips, adding up to many miles of travel with frequent stops to replenish the supply, this family of Litterbug* has done an excellent job of covering the earth, rivers and streams with tracks. Where has the beauty gone? Millions of dollars are spent annually to retrieve the trash, remove the cans, pick up the glass and eradicate the tracks of Papa Litterbug, Mama Litterbug and Baby Litterbug -this being the necessary operation to restore beauty and health, and to provide safety along the paths of this Litterbugging population. Please do your part in helping to eradicate Papa Litterbug, Mama Litterbug and Baby Litterbug. It is necessary for every individual to do his part, for all of us to put his best foot forward, to put an end to the destruction of man’s greatest asset, the beauty of nature. Keep Virginia Clean. ...Contributed to a producer, he must certify that he has complied with all the program provirions. This indudes a report of acreages devoted to the crops and land uses involved.

Feeder Cattle Prices Highest in 11 Years Blacksburg, Virginia feeder cattle prices averaged $31 a hundred pounds during 1969, for an 11-year high. Not since 1958, when prices also averaged $31, have feed-lot replacements been so high. “The price levels are calculated through cattle auction activities conducted at special graded sales throughout the state,” explained K. C. Williamson, Virginia Tech extension livestock specialist. Williamson and other members of Tech’s animal science department assist cattlemen in grading, sorting, and otherwise preparing the animals for the annual, fall-time nationally famous Special Graded Sales. Cattle offered at the sales are sorted into small groups of identical grade, weight and sex. One result of the annual activity sees feed-lot operators finding it easier to manage such cattle and often willing to pay bonus prices for the animals. At 39 sales held in Virginia this past year, 39,592 head moved at ui average $31 a hundred pounds. \lso during 1969 some 24,759 yearling feeders, sometimes called itockers, were moved through 30 ales. Prices reached their highest peak at an average $28.80 a lundred pounds. At the Special Graded Sales this past year, steer calves moved at 534 a hundred pounds average. Heifer calves brought $28,10 a hundred pounds. The combined average was $31. Steer calves weighed an average 481 pounds; nine pounds under the average for the previous year. Heifer calves scaled in at 440 pounds as compared to an average 447 pounds a year earlier. The weight decline was surprising, especially in view of Virginia’s lush pasture situation during the 1969 summer. If steers and heifers were combined, the average Virginia Feeder calf weighed 460 pounds, brought $31 a hundred pounds and had a gross value of $142.60. In yearling steers, the average was 718 pounds, a decrease of seven pounds from 1968’s 725 pounds and 24 pounds under the average of 1967 yearlings. Despite the lighter weight, yearling steers grossed $206.68 a COMPLETE ONE-STOP Building Supply Hardware Paint Millwork Lumber Worronton Building Material Co.. Inc. ON THE BY-PASS WARRENTON, VA.

Security Notes “The very young are In need ol social security numbers,” Mrs Hazel F. Crumpton, District Manager of the Winchester. Virginia, Social Security Office reported recently. “Sample questions and answers tc situations presented to us almost daily bear out that even infants and their parents are in some manner affected by Social Security,” she said. Q. My daughter who is two years old will have income from investments to be reported in her name at the end of the year for tax purposes. Will I need a social security number for her? A. Yes, regardless of a person’s age a social security card may be obtained by visiting your nearest social security office. Q. I am a high school student and do not plan to work until after I have completed my college training. Do I need a social security number? A. Yes, you will probably need a number when you apply for admission to any college or university. Social security numbers are needed and required for many purposes. I would therefore recommend that you do not delay in obtaining a social securitv card. Q. I understand that the armed forces are now using your social security number instead of assigning you a service serial number as in the past. I have been in the service for the past two years--will my service serial number be replaced by my social security number? A. The Department of Defense lias decided to convert from the military service number to the social security number in the future. The army is expected to make the change over within the next few months while the Navy md Marine Corps will delay their change over until January 1972. Hie Air Force began using the social security number in July L969. y. 1 am twelve years old. I recently earned my first money 5 babysitting. The mother of the £ children I stayed with paid me 5 two dollars. Do I need a social if security card? £ A.

My father recently deposited) $2,000 to a bank savings account > for my four year old son. | Someone said I may need to get a social security card for my son. Is this correct? A. Yes. Internal Revenue! Service requires th^t certain bank depositors have social security cards. This applies to children as well as adults. Q. My son who is age 16 wants to work this summer during his vacation. Will he need a social security card? A. Yes, he probably will. About nine out of every ten jobs is covered by social security.
