Social Security News: Tax Rates ByLeeWalUo Field Representative 115 Million Pay Social Security Taxes: About 115-million workers, their employers, and self-employed people will pay Social Security taxes in 1980. The tax rate for workers and their employers, which applies to the first $25,900 of an individual’s earnings, is 6.13 per cent. For the self-employed, the rate is 8.1 per cent. In future years the amount of earnings subject to tax will rise depending on the increase in average earnings that occurs from one year to the next. A self-employed in dividual-that is, one who engages in a business, trade, or profession receives Social Security credits if he or she has net earnings of at least S4OO a year. (Under an optional method, credits may be earned even if net income is less than that amount.) Since the Social Security benefits eventually received BINGO THURSDAY—B P.M. AT ST.

Collecting Social Security taxes for individuals working in covered em ployment is a relatively simple matter-the taxes are withheld from their wages. With the self-employed, however, this is not possible. They pay their Social Security taxes when they file their federal income tax r eturns. All self-employed persons with net earnings of S4OO or more during the year must file a federal income tax return with the Internal Revenue Service. In some cases, a person may owe Social Security taxes even if there is no income tax obligation. In computing earnings from self-employment, a person starts with gross earnings and then deducts allowable business ex penses. Anyone who has questions concerning the handling of income from self employment for Social Security purposes should contact their local Social Security office. For answers to questions about income taxes, get in touch with any office of the Internal Revenue Service. State Board Approves Contracts GREENSBORO - The State Board of Tran sportation convened Friday morning on the campus of N. C.

Another item accepted by the board was a request for a $30,000 transportation development grant.

THE CHOWAN HERALD Davis Is Chosen As Alternate Brian Davis of Windsor has been chosen as the 1980 Truman Scholar Alternate from North Carolina. He is one of less than 200 persons - scholars and alternates - so honored throughout the United States. A President’s List student at Campbell University, Davis is a second semester junior majoring in govern ment with a concentration in pre-law. He is a member of Phi Eta Sigma, Omicron Delta Kappa and Epsilon Pi Eta honor societies, and he has served as president of the College Republicans and of Murray Residence Hall. Davis is now serving as vice-chairman of the Campbell delegation to the North Carolina Student Legislature. A graduate of Roanoke- Chowan Academy, he is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Robert A. Davis of Windsor. The Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation was established as the official Federal memorial to the former President by Public Law 93-642, enacted by the U. S. Congress on January 4, 1975. The Truman Scholarship is awarded on a merit basis each year to college students who show exceptional academic ability and an outstanding potential for leadership in government. Campaign Gets Endorsement Senator Robert Morgan’s re-election campaign has received the endorsement of the National Association of Social Workers and its North Carolina chapter. Word of the endorsement was received at Morgan’s re-election headquarters in Raleigh, in the form of letters from both groups. “We wish you the best of luck from here on in,” wrote Delia P. Sanchez, chair person of the national association’s PACE board of trustees. “As concerned social workers, we are gratified to know that you persist in your aim to provide quality human services for all Americans. Please be assured we are with you all the way.” Helen H. Goldstein of Cary, president-elect of the state chapter, also wrote Morgan, informing him of the North Carolina support. “In addition to your ac tions in furthering legislation to provide quality human services for all Americans, you have maintained excellent communication with your constituents. Through your newsletter, we are regularly informed of the issues of concern in Washington.” The Carolina Review: Campaign Stalled CAMPAIGNS ... The North Carolina guber natorial campaign seems to have picked up only minimal steam in the af termath of the Lake-Hunt debate a couple of weeks ago. But according to both camps the campaign is about where they had ex pected it to be from the beginning. For Republican Beverly Lake, that could spell trouble because he is still apparently having problems with drawing enough at tention to himself or to the issues that could push an incumbent governor out of office. Not so says Lake campaign director, Randy Gregory. “This entire cam paign has been planned,” he said, “this is where we CARD OF THANKS Joel C. Williams of Edenton, and his family wish to take this means of communication to express our sincere appreciation to all the people who were so thoughtful, kind and loving at the passing away of the wife and mother, Mrs. Leora Smith Williams. We sincerely thank all of the people who provided food during a time or our sorrow. The flowers were beautiful and we ap preciated them so much. To all of you who visited our home, and you who attended the burial service, we thank you for your love and respect to Leora. To those of you who did not know of the death of our beloved wife and mother prior to her burial service and those of you who could not attend, we appreciated your cards and telephone calls. We certainly do thank all of you for remembering us in your prayers. May God bless all of you. The Family of Leora S.

Gregory pointed out that Lake had an over whelming response to his (Lake’s) debate with the governor. “We got unbelievable support-over 600 phone calls that night after the debate and another 200 the next day,” according to Gregory. “The momentum has picked up tremendously and we believe it will peak at just the right time,” he concluded. When questioned about why it seemed Lake had been unable to garner the attention that most ob servers assume is critical to victory, Gregory suggested the gubernatorial suc cession amendment is at least partly to blame. “No way we can get the press and the coverage that an incumbent can get,” he said. It was suggested to Greogry that perhaps the Lake campaign was not pursuing the press coverage as vigoriously as the Hunt' campaign. “We had five news con ferences the day after the debate - one in Charlotte, in Greensboro, Ahseville, Gastonia, and then back in Raleigh,” Gregory responded. All five of those con ferences centered around the debate of the night before. Meanwhile, Hunt only two days after the debate, held one of six “issue con ferences” scheduled for the duration of the campaign. That first conference set forth Hunt’s priorities for North Carolina public schools in the 1980 s. According to Hunt press spokeswoman Stephanie Bass, other “issue con ferences” can be expected to focus on crime in North Carolina, economic development (this week’s), energy, agriculture, and problems of the aging. “We will probably make a formal statement on transportation as well,” said Bass. “Does that mean the governor is going to come out for a tax hike on, gasoline?” Bass was asked. “Not necessarily,” she replied, “but obviously the Applications Being Taken For Theater Arts Grants N.C. Theatre Arts, tne section of the Department of Cultural Resources that provides funding and technical assistance to the professional theatres in North Carolina, is now accepting applications for its fall granting period, according to Director Judy Barringer. The deadline for receipt of grant applications is 5 P.M. on Wednesday, Oct. 15. Professional theatres incorporated in North Carolina as non-profit and tax exempt are eligible to apply to Theatre Arts for financial support. In ad dition to paying salaries to a substantial number of their employees, theatres must also meet other criteria.
