The IRS warns that three categories of employees in particular should check their withholding under the new rates and, if necessary, file a new Form W-4, “Employees With holding Allowance Certificate.” The first category of em ployees is made up of those who receive large refunds each year from the IRS due to the fact that too much money was withheld from their paychecks. This occurs most frequently in situations in which there is one wage earner in the family and the taxpayer is not claiming all the withholding allowances to which he or she is entitled, or has four or more exemptions. These employees will continue to be overwithheld under the new tables and should consider filing a new Form W-4, claiming additional withholding allowances. Married couples where both work are likely to be underwith held under the hew rates, leaving them with a big tax bill at the end of the year. This is because on a joint tax return, the couple is entitled to only one low income allowance or percentage standard deduction. The third group which should review its withholding includes employees who now claim additional withholding allowances due to large itemized deductions. Under the new with holding rules, some of these employees may no longer be entitled to as many withholding allowances for large itemized deductions as they are now claiming.

On leave from the North Caro lina Finishing Company division at Salisbury, where he was purchasing agent, Mr. Alexander was serving as Com missioner of Motor Vehicles when he was named to the Department of Transportation post.

The Department of Transportation is the second largest under the control of the governor with 15,230 employees and an annual budget of over one-half billion dollars. In his new position, Mr. Alexander will become a member of the Governor’s Cabinet. He will have direct supervision over the branches of state ports, highway patrol, aeronautics, highways, motor vehicles and highway safety. He will also have charge in the near future of the allocation of $130 million in recently released JAKE ALEXANDER federal funds for road work in the state. Mr. Alexander and his family moved to Salisbury in 1948 when he joined the North Carolina Finishing Company and since that time has been active in all facets of civic and community life.

School Boards Association and served six years as chairman of the Rowan County Board of Social Services. Mini-Craftsfair Continues A Successful Promotion The Fieldcrest mini-Craftsfair show, celebrating the American Treasures Collection created from designs in the Smithsonian Institution, has been a continuous success since it was introduced last Fall. Consisting of a fashion show and a crafts demonstration, Wes Greene and Johanna Murray of the publicity and fashion departments of the Fieldcrest Marketing Division, have appeared in stores across the country presenting the show and consulting with customers on how to use Fieldcrest merchandise in home decorating. In addition to the store promotions in the domestics departments they have also conducted presentations in connection with “Bride’s” magazine and have appeared on television and radio publicizing Fieldcrest and the Collection. The Craftsfair mini-shows have been one of the most popu lar store events in Fieldcrest’s history and are scheduled to continue into June. 3 MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1975
