Low Given Silver Beover Aword
Smithfield Scoutmaster S.
Curtis Law has been presented
the Silver Beaver, the highest
award a volunteer Boy Scout
leader can receive on the council
level.
Presentation of the coveted
honor was made recently at the
annual recognition banquet of
Tuscarora Council in the
Southern Wayne High School
lunchroom at Dudley.
Mr. Law, general
maintenance foreman at the
Automatic Blanket Plant at
Smithfield, has for the past five
years been scoutmaster of
Smithfield Troop 22, sponsored
by the Rotary Club.
He recently became the
Neusiok (Johnson County)
District commissioner of
scouting.
A native of Eden, Mr. Law
went to Smithfield almost 14
years ngo when Fieldcrest
opened its plant there in June
I960. .
He is a member of Smithfield s
First Christian Church and the
Smithfield Fire Department. He
serves as a fire service
instructor for Johnston
Technical Institute.
File Early, Get Refund Early
If you’re like most taxpayers,
chances are you’ll receive-a tax
refund this year — perhaps even
more than the $350 average
refund issued last year by the
Internal Revenue Service.
There’s one thing to
remember, however: When you
receive your refund depends on
when you send your return. To
get the fastest refund, the IRS
suggests you file early.
In fact, the IRS says, it is a
good time to file now, because at
Shift Foreman
William E. Patterson has been
named a shift foreman in the
Warehousing Department at the
Scottsboro Rug Mill. He will
report to Buron E. Thomas,
manager of customer service
and warehousing.
Mr. Patterson joined
Fieldcrest in 1971 as a quality
control inspector. Prior to
joining the Company, he was
employed by Gay Tred Mills in
Scottsboro for 15 years as a
shipping clerk. He earlier was
employed by TV A for 13 years as
a payroll clerk.
Angela Via
Angela Dannette Via will
celebrate her ninth birthday
February 18. She is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Jay P. Via of
Eden. Her mother, Carol, is a
payroll clerk at the Bedpsread
Finishing Mill. Grandparents
are Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Via of
Madison and Mrs. Phil Brown
Sr. of Eden.

this time of year you can get
your refund faster than at other
times during the filing period.
Send your tax return in now and
you should receive your refund
in about four to five weeks.
The reason for this difference,
the IRS points out, is the varying
workload at its service centers,
which can prQcess returns and
approve refunds much faster
when workloads are lightest.
Obviously, during the periods
of heavy filing — in late
February, late March, or April
— the reverse is true, and it
takes considerably longer to
issue a refund.
The IRS is anxious to get all
these refunds on their way and
wants taxpayers to know it’s
their money that’s waiting to be
claimed.
Another reason for urging
taxpayers to file early is the high
number of errors they make
when filing late. Over the past
few years, according to IRS
statistics, late filers have tended
to make more errors than those
taxpayers who sent in their
returns during the first few
weeks of the filing period.
Mr. Law is married to the
former Gracie Chatham of
Eden, and they have an 18-year-
old son, Charles, an Eagle Scout
and a senior at Smithfield-Selma
Senior High School. The Laws
reside at 1004 Crescent Drive.
The award citation noted that
Mr. Law “has had a long and
distinguished career in serving
his fellow man” as a church and
civic worker and as a
scoutmaster.
CURTIS LAW
“In six years,” the citation
said, “he has become one of the
best known Scoutmasters in the
council with one of the largest
troops. He has been chapter
advisor for the Order of the
Arrow, instructor in several
district and council training
courses, and has led many
construction and conservation
projects on both camps.
“He has served on the official
board of his church, has served
as Sunday School teacher and
youth worker, and helped in the
construction of his church’s
camp.”
The citation praised the
recipient for “his sincere
devotion to the ideals and
principles of the Boy Scouts of
America and the development of
the youth of this council.”
