SEEKING SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

MANY YEARS ago when I had to get a Social Security card, the federal government said this was to be my personal number and no one else was to have it. Now every time I turn around, someone wants my Social Security number. I don't give it to anyone.

I think it's about time the government honored its commitment to us. WESLEY V. HILLMAN ROANOKE
