SKI SEASON OPENS
HI VALLEY AREA
Winter skiing in the local area
got off to a good start this past
week-end when tow facilities at
Little Susitna were put into op
eration for the first time.
Marking the opening day was
free use of the tow for a num
ber of skiers who made the trip
to the slopes. The tow is located
at a new site this year, just past
the Little Susitna Lodge on the
Mint Mine road. New rope and
a new engine combine to make a
good operating piece of equip
ment. Although there is adequate
snow cover for skiing, Bob Bron
son, local skier, said it will be
even better as soon as additional
snow falls. The tow will be op
erated each Saturday and Sun
day (and other special dates as
announced) throughout the win
ter and the general public is in
vited to avail themselves of the
facilities.

SOCIAL SECURITY
MUST BE PAID
ON FARM WORKERS
Crew leaders who furnished
and paid workers to work for
farm operators during 1957 may
be required to report the cash
wages paid to those workers and
remit social security taxes. This
reminder came from John Blakey,
social security field representa
tive.
The test for determining which
workers on a farm are covered
by the law is the same regardless
of whether the farmer or flie
crew leader is the employer. A
worker is covered and his earn
ings must be reported and social
security taxes must be nemitted
if he is paid $150 or more in
cash wages in a calendar year.
iAlso if he works for 20 or more
days in a calendar year for cash
wages figured on a time basis
he must be reported,- and the so
cial security tax paid.
A written record of each work
er’s name, social security number,
and amount of wages paid should
be kept by the crew leader or
the farmer, which ever is the em
ployer. The employer should de
duct 2i% from each worker’s
cash pay, and at the end of the
year, or when the worker quits,
he should give the worker a writ
ten receipt for the amount of
taxes withheld during the year.
Report forms may be obtained by
contacting the nearest district of
fice of the Internal Revenue
Service.

HOW TO INVITE DEPRESSION
■ ■ •
A man lived by the side of Ihe road and sold hot dogs.
He was hard of hearing so he had no radio.
He had trouble with his eyes so he read no newspapers.
But he sold good hot dogs.
He put up signs on the highway telling how good they were.
He stood by the side of the road and cried: "Buy a hot dog.
Mister."
And people bought.
He increased his meat and bun orders.
He bought a bigger stove to take care of his trade.
He got his son home from college to help him.
But then something happened . . .
His son said, "Father, haven't you been listening to the radio?
There's a depression on.
The European situation is terrible.
The Domestic situation is worse."
Whereupon the father thought, "Well, my son's been to college.
He reads the papers and he listens to the radio, and he ought
to know."
So the father cut down on his meat and bun orders.
Took down his advertising signs.
And no longer bothered to stand out on the highway to sell
hot dogs.
And his hot dog sales fell almost overnight.
“You're right son," the father said to the boy.
“We certainly are in the middle of a great depression."
