In the same perjod. 4,787 new numbers were assigned. . "The loss of social security cards works a hardship upon everyone to the employee who must have his number, to his employer who must report the number to the federal gov ernment, and to the Social Security board which must Issue new numbers upon request." Mr. Smith said. "To avoid the loss of the number, the em ployee should write the number in several places where It can be found, and should keep the lower half of Vis social security card In a place where it will not be easily lost." Workers losing their social se curity numbers should not ask for new ones, but should request deupli cates.
