Peanut Brittle

SUSPENSE. And the producer of radios outstanding theater of thrills, the master of mystery and adventure, William M. Robeson. The American standard of living is the highest on Earth. We no longer consider an automobile or an electric refrigerator or a TV set, a luxury, or necessities, and taken for granted.

Who cares if the smallest practical coin is a dime? We've got it made. Yet, in this richest land on Earth, there are communities where a 10 cent candy bar requires a strange and distorted value, where a box of peanut brittle can be worth a man's life.

Here's a tip from Social Security. You wouldn't think of letting your bank savings pile up year after year without getting an occasional statement, would you? Well, your Social Security taxes are similar to savings. They are held for you by the government until you need them.

How much money you make determines how large your benefit will be. If you or your employer should make a mistake in reporting your Social Security taxes, and it is not discovered within three years, it may be too late to collect it.
