SS Number as ID: Records Are Safe

Despite the widespread use of the Social Security

number for identification purposes, there is no intention of making it a national identifier, as some have sugI gested. Neither does its use " outside the Social Security [ program represent a threat * to the confidentiality of Social Security records, as others have speculated. Use of the Social Security number is largely a matter of convenience in a society in which just about everybody has one. The main use for the number is to record Social Security covered earnings and to control | subsequent benefit [.payments I THE SOCIAL Security ^ Administration has assigned about 295 million 9-digit numbers since 1936. Because no restriction was placed on the use of the number by private organizations. it has been adopted as a readily available identifier for a broad spectrum of uses. Many Federal agencies also use the number The food stamp and the aid to families with dependent children <AFDC) programs require each member of the family to have a Social Security number THE INTERNAL Revenue Service mandates use of the number as the individual taxpayer identification number for all tax returns and for records of income-producing activities. such as bank accounts or investments. The Department of Defense uses the Social Security number as the identification number for militarypersonnel.

Swamped Health Dept. Focuses on Wildwoods

CREST HAVEN - Who did you expect to tell you if your beach was polluted during the last week? Whether it was your friendly motel manager, the matre'd, the chamber •of commerce or even the New York Times, all were on the phonelto the single source: the Cape May County Health Department. And with its staff focusing on "special surveys" of the Wildwoods' ocean and backbays waters, a large portion of the normal run of the county's waters went untested. What there is appears exclusively in this paper in the chart on page 68. The regular ocean sampling of Aug. 20-21. for example, included only 13 of the usual 47 spots, and the backbays included less than half of the usual 92 locations. They show no problem in the ocean waters off Ocean City, Upper -Township. Sea Isle City, Avalon and Stone Harbor. they show one heckuva problem in the Wildwoods'

backbays, including a string of seven "greater than 2.400" measurements of fecal coliform bacteria. That's as high as the department usually tests. The backbay standard is 200 MPN (Most Probably Number). A special run in the Shelter Haven basin of Stone Harbor also confirmed a continuing problem. Locations at Hand Realty, Hall Harbor condos, 382 99th St. and 404 98th St. showed 140, 926, 350 and 130 two weeks ago. and 540, 280, 170 and 160 last week. It's been closed to primary contact recreational activities since early this month. A point apparently missed by many people is that the county Health Department has a standing policy of permitting no primary contact water activities within a quarter mile of any sewage treatment plant or effluent line. In other words, the polluted backbays should have been no surprise to anyone.
