Captain, or maybe it was M/Sgt.
John E. 8eissiger, USMC, appeared
in a uniform shirt displaying Master
8ergeant's chevrons on the sleeves
and Captain's bars on the collar.
It seems that Captain 8eissiger
had been promoted from a perma-

Recently he received word that he
was being given a permanent com-

holding a Captain's rank at the time.
In order to assume the permanent
officer's rank it was necessary for
him to revert, for a period of one

Captain 8eissiger was given a per-

Social Security
Official (oming
Tom Hart. field representative of
the Bakersfield Social security Or,.
fice, will visit the Station again next
Tuesday and be available at the se-
curity office at the main gate from
9:30 until mid-afternoon.
After his last viSit, he reported
that many Station residents had ap-
plied for benefits and also come in
to ask questions about individual
problems.
Among questions and answers in
typical cases he cited the following:
"When I apply for retirement pay_
ments under the Old-Age and Sur-
vivors Insurance program, must I
submit a birth certificate to prove
my age? I have tried to secure such
a certificate but have been informed
that no public record ot my birth is
on file."
The answer is, "In proving your
age, it will be necessary to furnish
the best evidence available. It there
is no public record of birth, other
types of evidence of age may be con-
sidered. For example, church rec-
ords of birth or baptism, old family
Bible records, naturalization or im-
migration records, or military, school,
marriage and labor union and fra-
ternal organization records. Insur-
ance pollcies may also furnish evi-
dence."

Tom Hart. field representative of
the Bakersfield Social security Or,.
fice, will visit the Station again next
Tuesday and be available at the se-
curity office at the main gate from
9:30 until mid-afternoon.
After his last viSit, he reported
that many Station residents had ap-
plied for benefits and also come in
to ask questions about individual
problems.
Among questions and answers in
typical cases he cited the following:
"When I apply for retirement pay_
ments under the Old-Age and Sur-
vivors Insurance program, must I
submit a birth certificate to prove
my age? I have tried to secure such
a certificate but have been informed
that no public record ot my birth is
on file."
The answer is, "In proving your
age, it will be necessary to furnish
the best evidence available. It there
is no public record of birth, other
types of evidence of age may be con-
sidered. For example, church rec-
ords of birth or baptism, old family
Bible records, naturalization or im-
migration records, or military, school,
marriage and labor union and fra-
ternal organization records. Insur-
ance pollcies may also furnish evi-
dence."
