Thursday. March 24.1983 m Recent changes in state and federal laws provide some help for a divorced woman in getting her fair share of joint ly held property. And these new laws can also help widows get some relief from estate taxes. Even so, it’s advisable for a wife to own the following items in her name: her car, half of the property the couple acquires during marriage; and property she brought to the marriage; at least one bank account; a credit card in her own name and some capital that’s been invested in securities or a savings account. If the married woman doesn’t work outside the home, it becomes especially important that she have some property listed in her name alone. This gives her some recognition for her contribu tions to the family and places a mometary value on her ser vices to the family. Having some financial assets of her own also pro vides a married woman with Weyerhaeuser Highlights Jon Meyer has been named Region Transportation/Pur chasing Manager for Weyerhaeuser Company’s North Carolina Region, accor ding to Region Vice Presi dent, Norm Johnson, who made the announcement. In this position, Meyer will be responsible for transportation and purchasing activities in the Region. He will assume his new responsibilities on March 14 and will report directly to Johnson. Before accepting this new assignment, Meyer was Region Transportation Manager. He joined Weyerhaeuser Company on August 31,'1976 as a Raw Materials Analyst in Tacoma;' Washington and held several positions there before coming to the N.C. Region in March 1981. Meyer received his MBA at Oregon State University in 1976. He is a Major in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, is a member of the Transporta tion Committee of the Washington, North Carolina Chamber of Commerce and is active in various community activities in Beaufort County. Meyer, his wife, Yvonne, and two daughters, Michelle and Danielle, reside in Washington. -0- On March 2, the Plymouth Lumber Planer Mill crew established another new dai ly 2x4 productivity record by finishing an average of more than 33,160 board feet per hour. The record was established with an outstanding 67 per cent production of No. 2 and better grade lumber, which made it the “Best day ever for the planer”, according to Bob Andrews, a Plymouth Wood Products Manager. -0- Nellie G.

Ford Home Economist Extension Agent a measure of security should the couple divorce or simplifies estate settlement should her husband die. Here’s another thing to think about: Federal and state inheritance taxes will often be less following the deaths of both husband and wife, if the sizes of their in dividual estates are about equal. In mo6t cases today the husband’s estate is much larger than the wife’s and the taxes that are leveled against his estate are much larger than they would be on hers. As with all rules, there is an exception. The major excep tion to holding property in dividually might be a jointly held income. Having a home in joint ownership by the en tirety provides greater securi ty during a marriage and pro vides for individual ownership by one spouse should the other die. A final reminder. If you do hold any property in your own right, be sure you have a valid will. Williamston, a Secretary in the Pulp Technical Depart ment of the Plymouth Fiber Group retired this month. Perry joined the company in 1965 and had more than 28 years of service. -0- One Weyerhaeuser employee from the North Carolina Region will be honored this month for 20 years service with the com pany.

Sti Meadow By Sarah Harrell Trexler The cherry trees in the edge of the meadow are ready to burst into bloom. I broke for sythia and daffadills and hung a nice big Boston fern on my sunporch. Sure signs of spring. Well, Andy mentioned snow and it looks more like snow than spring. You can almost hear the grass grow and robins and cardinals are everywhere -a time of change. The rye on the rise beyond the meadow is no longer frozen into clumps, with the bare, cold earth showing. It is growing. The warm rain and wind of a few days ago has given it a new lease on life. It is tall and blowing in the wind. Then old Andy mentioned snow again and presto - it looks more like snow than spring. I hung some dish towels on the clothesline yesterday and they are still there today. They remind me of a snatch of verse that 1 read somewhere a long time ago: I hung my dish towels on the line, all tell tale gray and murkish and 10, it snowed and they became the softest whitest turkish! We shall see. Suzanne, my number one granddaughter is due to ar rive today and John is always around to be snowed in. No one needs to catch my newly caught cold, but I sure could use some company. Tardy, slow winter seems to be pushing spring away. Winter sure has the upper hand this morning. There must be good pickings in the wet grass. Robins are out there - all fluffed up against the cold wind. There must be dozens in the cherry trees. I hope they leave some of the buds to blossom. Well, the dish towels are still out there. They never were murkish - they have not yet become turkish - they are just whipped by the wind. Old Zhivago would say, badly wrung and badly hung. Not so - they just have to wait their turn for attention. The ten day virus the Doctor says I have comes first - Sate l (JH H.

So was I. The weather is wonderful March weather - stormy - blowing - lifting the sap loose and buds popping out on the cherry and peach trees. Birds chirping and the grass is growing. Sure would like a day dry enough for Lee to plow my garden. I need to plant my green peas and my potatoes before Good Friday. A cardinal just flew past and hopped into the cherry tree -1 made my wish -for a dry day.

AWARDS DINNER— Assistant State Labor Com missioner Charles Jeffress presented the labor depart ment’s annual awards for outstanding safety achieve ment to employees and management of 35 firms from a five-county area at a dinner in Elizabeth City, Wednesday March 23rd.

Your support is needed to continue this ex cellent program of special concerts for Chowan county school children as well as the evening performance. “The art of pleasing con sists in being pleased." William Hazlitt The Washington Report i by Congressman Walter B. Jones Since coming to Congress, one of the trademarks of our office has been immediate replies to all of our mail, and it is a record of which we are very proud. As some of you may know, the U.S. House of Representatives has its own post office and since January with the flood of mail regar ding the withholding of sav ings dividends and other con troversial issues such as the nuclear freeze and the social security bill, the volume of mail has reached an un precedented level. Therefore, if you have written us and ex perienced some delay in -receiving a reply, it is not our fault, but rather the cir cumstances concerning the flood of mail at the House Post Office. To substantiate this trend, the figures speak for themselves: in 1972, 40 million pieces of mail were delivered to the House of Representatives; last year, 1982, it reached 145 million. During the last month, the Postmaster reports that 500,000 to 800,000 pieces of mail were received daily. So, I hope to those of you who have been a little disap pointed in our replies, that this explains the reason. An example of this is that Con gressman Charlie Whitley mailed me a notice of a Com mittee meeting to be held on February 14. The notice was dated February 1, and I only received it on February 15. Congressman Whitley’s office is located on the first floor of the building which I occupy, while my office is on the se cond floor. Please do not let this condition stop anyone from contacting our office if you feel the need to do so. In limited House action, the House passed one bill which provides reenlistment bonuses for members of the Armed Forces. The arguments for such legisla tion is the fact that this method enables the military services to “target” addi tional compensation to critical skilly. .The bonuses are paid only to skills that ex hibit a shortage of personnel, or that would exhibit a shor tage if bonus programs are extraordinarily successful in attracting and retaining high quality personnel in critical skills. Due to the economy and the shortage of employ ment, the services are now able to be more selective in their enlistees and are prac tically up to their authorizing strength with a very satisfac tory rate of reenlistment. In other action the House authorized $2.5 million for the National Trails System Act of 1968. Os interest to people in North Carolina is that one of the existing trails is in the Na tional; Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina, and I am happy to report that this legislation named this par ticular trail in honor of the former Congressman Roy Taylor, who served the 11th District of North Carolina so ably for a number of years. On Wednesday, March 16 the House met at 10 A.M. in a continuous session until 11:30 P.M. The legislation under consideration was the Nuclear Arms Control Act, which is a joint Resolution calling for a mutual and verifiable freeze on and reduction in nuclear weapons. This, of course, is designed to bring this nation and Russia to a conference in an effort to stop the mad race on the part of both nations to arm JOHN DOWD & ASSOCIATES, INC.

It is tyipor tant to note that this a bilateral approach and both; nations would have to agree to, stop further development of;,, nuclear weapons. The verifiable means that both na-, tions would have the right to-- inspect the other nation’s; nuclear weapons systems. The nuclear race in addition to being dangerous to the future and safety of practical ly the entire world, is ex tremely costly to both this na tion and Russia. I am not sure that this legislation,, if and. when enacted, will serve the purpose for which it is design ed; nevertheless, I think it is worth a chance. If the mutual and verifiable agreement is not reached, then, of course, no treaties will be signed. The . House will conclude debate on. this issue prior to the Easter recess which begins on March 24.
