In North Carolina in March of this year 282,800 were unemployed-higher than anytime in the state’s history since World War II,” McDevitt said. “And unemployment is not the only area in which people in this state are suffering. Thanks to the Republican tobacco tax increase, tobacco prices are at an all time low. Many farmers are being forced out of business,” McDevitt continued. “There were 10,300 fewer houses built in the last year because with supply side interest rates people can’t afford to own homes any more. “There were 18,100 fewer cars purchased last year, again because lending rates are high. The economy is as bad as it’s ever been and people can’t afford it any more. “The Republican answer to the economy is to let the rich get richer and let the poor and middle class go without. Our Republican Senate and President keep telling us that we’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel while they give the rich tax breaks with one hand and double tobacco taxes and plan for new taxes for the middle class on the other. “One year of unchecked Reaganomics has doubled the national debt. This nation is now running SIOO billion in the red and projections are that with more of the same, the debt may go as high as $193 billion. “We need good Democrats in the House if we are going to bring balance back to our coun try,” McDevitt said. “What we don’t need are more knee-jerk Republicans willing to roll over and play dead when any bad idea comes across just because the President has invited them to tea and passed out the Presidential seal of approval. We all have got to take part if this country is going to get rolling again,” McDevitt said. She - When you married me you used to call me a little dear! He - Perhaps I did, darling, but since then you’ve developed into a big expense! Weyerhaeuser Highlights Three employees have been given new assignments in the company’s fiber operations.

The average weekly insured wage during the calendar year 1981 was $248.23. For example, in order to receive the maximum $166 for 26 weeks a claimant must have earned at least $12,909 of which at least $4,303 was earned during a high quarter of a base period. “Our maximum weekly benefit is the highest in our region of eight southern states. (Alabama S9O, Florida $125, Georgia slls, Kentucky $l4O, Mississippi $lO5, South Carolina sllß, Tennessee $110). On a national basis, Alaska’s $222 drug.” He adds, “In view of Ihe joint statement of Health and Human Services Secretary (Richard) Sch weiker and Dr. Arthur Hayes Jr., and the sub sequent suspension by Lilly, Revco wants to protect its customers and insure that they receive their Oraflex refunds. Farmer’s Air Service 221-4296 - CROP SPRAYING Watermelon, Peanuts, Soybeans, Cotton, Tobacco, Corn The Man To See Is Pilot Don Book is the highest,” said Jer nigan. In 1981, more than 384,000 unemployment insurance recipients received benefit payments in various amounts which totaled in excess of $255 million. Benefit payments are made from the unemployment insurance trust fund to which corporations and employers contribute statewide. Jernigan said, “Most of this money is returned directly to the economy in the form of essential expenditures for food, housing, utilities and transportation.” “Despite our middleman’ position in this case, we will handle customer refunds if they want us to.” Revco, headquartered in Twinsburh, 0., is the nation’s largest drug chain, with about 1600 stores in 28 states. The company has sales in excess of $1.5 billion annually
