Thursday,. April 28. 1983 Bin To Strengthen Social Security WASHINGTON, D.C.-U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms has in troduced legislation to broaden and strengthen Social Security. The Mil would phase in a new kind of private retirement account called “Individual Retirement Security Account,” in which each working American could save and invest in his or her own retirement security. ‘‘My proposal looks beyond the recent patchwork efforts of Congress to bail out Social Security,” Helms said. “It would provide every working American an opportunity to save and invest for his or her own retirement security.” The Helms plan would per mit workers to set up In dividual Retirement Security Accounts at their local banks, savings and loans, and other lending institutions beginning in 1964. They would continue to pay Social Security taxes and draw benefits from the existing system. In 1994, workers and employers would be required to put money into the IRS As. The payroll tax would decrease proportionately, un til the year 2004 when all payroll tax payments would be phased out. Tie Helms plan would offer each worker a tax credit equal to 20 per cent of the amount invested in an IRSA, but not more than 20 per cent of the payroll tax paid during the year. In return for the credit, each worker would agree to give up some Social Security benefits upon retirement. The proposal is taken from a comprehensive Social Security package Helms of fered earlier this year. Ten of 20 sections of that package were enacted into law as part of the Social Security Act Advertisement For Bids Chowan County will accept sealed bids for the sale of: (1) 1979 Buick SN# 4N69X9H494711 Vehicles inspection at Courthouse parking lot.

N.C. Marine Fisheries Report Commercial Catch by Jim Tyler-* The tally for last year’s commercial catch is in ahdp shrimp was top value with 916-million paid to North Carolina fishermen for. their catches. , Blue crabs at $7-million were second, and clams took third with $6.6-million, accor ding to the Marine Fisheries records. Total catch of 308-million pounds resulted in fishermen receiving $64-million, accor ding to the records. Total value of the catch, when economic multipliers are figured, would be S2OO-300-million. Million dollar species in-' eluded: bluefish, sl-million; croaker $4; flounder, $5.6; king mackerel, $1.2; menhaden, $5.7; porgies, $1.3; gray trout, $5.3; snappers, $1; spot, $1 million. Catches that went over a million pounds, but not a million dollars, include river herring, 9.4-million; catfish, 1.3-million pounds; mullet, 1.5-million. Groupers almost topped one million pounds, sea basses came close too. Interestingly, shellfish ac counted for half the value, fin fish the other half. Some ten species of shellfish and 66 species of fishes were reported. It is impossible to tell what is out there because fishermenwill put much more effort' into catching those species that bring premium prices. He is going after shrimp, blue crabs, clams, flounder; not pinfish, sharks, and sand perch. No records are available to compare year-to-year the number of fishermen after shrimp, for example, the hours they fish ed, the size of their nets. some of the totals were sur prising: squid, 136,000 pounds; octopus, 3,500 pounds; anglerfish, 140,000 pounds; marlin, 250 pounds ; pinfish, 900 pounds; sharks, 101,000 pounds; snappers, 600,000 pounds; sturgeon, 23,000; swellfish, 25,000; trig gerfish, 59,000; and conchs, 80,000 pounds of meat. ~ Fishermen averaged 4or a family centers JL EDENTON VILLAGE SHOPPING CENTER ▼CSVbpobcyioai—ytha»aad»at«tor m»ethantow»« adoquito tuppry i*out»io»— in thorvomthoa<y*oni»a<JmortnanOiaonnoravaoaomOuoto u Ho>m"<oanont TG4vmic*o*-Oo• »s••«Chaco upon<ooua«t '"oxiriMi •tMCwKiNMOV bo pulchaood at mo u'«»nt» ams* 4 bacomaa avi<iMi« o» you u*ay pu*cttaaa wmia* Quality "«o*c KamJno at a «••*«•*ar pr*co rnoucik>" ii nmt oo>< »o* TG4 »10 »oo mat you aio "aoor owth you' ou»cr*ato» • « TOSra pehcy to to pncad co**>oai'••*•*» «ito «oputa' Saw *nca« may »ary ma<»a» by ma«ati bui mo uw puce ».n aiwayt m at ad*aniM<J •Ww» bo happy 10 io'uoo you* "*o*>ay •* you a»» no* uin'on »«'»> you* • « twciutt WM*itototorCli<» imptod phone: 482-3392 out \ 5 W oLIAIoo ' ( limbo i —kp Ice Chest Rod & Reel UJ »2!|87 *39%- Centurion 13” B& W ml “ssii”! - TV Set liens Braxton || W° —ay /I Luclte Wall Missy Lee Riders $8 - 100% Cotton t ™I aM tej.)p«ii» ® laOh '•■‘•i* M Jraiu Stitt*- *9" il*i9 97 wrisr4 3 HP B & S Engine Lnelte Howe «===»-3jjg gp 30“ • <gwA (gmj 'Petnt psSMIPffEgS Latrn —-—: Faint iMm, nioirer Tw * BCl Beg. 15.00 mm ®„ T Assortment *11" *|B9»ft/"5* 1 7X?A Y WILL MEET ANY LOCAL COMPETITORS CURRENT ADVERTISED PRICES BRING THEIR AD! » • >- w-iS'y . t -pound for edible finfish. Top dollar finfish averages were: Swordfish, $2.60 a pound; snappers, s2a pound; striped bass, $1.60; pompano, $1.05; king mackerel 96*; swellfish, 92*; grouper, 82*; dolphinßo*; speckled trout, 71* and tuna, 70 *. The high value fish ac counted for 6 per cent of the catch of edible finfish poundage-wise, 16 per cent of the value. Shrimp by comparison, averaged $3.68 a pound (heads off) to the fishermen, soft crabs $2 a pound, clam meats $4.50, bay scallop meats $2.50. Prices received really do not mean much to someone unfamiliar with commercial fishing, and in fact can be con fusing. For example, it is easier by far and cheaper by jßiarifiKaiiliaiiEH Mother’s Day Special u 1 io% Discount C f(l With Advertisement Jm /(I On All Spring And Summer Fashions fjT Vi Full Line Os Accessories — U C> j) shoes, handbags, jewelry, etc. - J | uptfairs jm | Clothes fiir thr (7*^ /ffij Hours: 9:30-5:30 309 S.

Marine Fisheries trend report for the 1982 commer cial fisheries began as it did in 1981: “The growth ex perienced by North Carolina’s commercial fishing industry over the last several years has ended. Future prospects are uncertain for many sec tors of the industry, especial ly in light of current economic conditions.” Last year, 26,099 N.C. com mercial fishing boat licenses were purchased. Those who purchased the licenses mark ed a choice deciding whether they were full-time commer cial fishermen, part-time, or Page 7-A recreational. Full-time. tally was 4,217, part-time 7,2ttb<and pleasure 14,599.
