Number 12 Government Gets Much In Taxes From Local Citizens New York, Mar. 28 ? Taxes are again In the spotlight In ? Franklin County, what with April 15th just around the cor ner, ' ' Uncle Sam will have his hand out on that day to receive In come taxes based on 1963 earn ings. The tax cut that was voted recently will not come Into play at this time. It will show up In the tax reports to be (lied In 1965. They will reflect 1964 earnings. Just how much will the lo cal contribution add up to this year? The Government hopes that It will be more than It was last April, when personal and withholding taxes came to approximately $2,374,000. That Is the amount, in round number?, that was turned In by local residents, as deter mined by a breakdown of the state-wide collections an nounced by the Treasury De partment, and by local Income reports. ? They show that the amount collected In personal Income taxes throughout the State of North Carolina totaled $608, *779,000 last year. Some 0.39 percent of It was paid by residents of Franklin County. Since Incomes were higher In 1963, |p most parts of the na tion, than they were in 1962, the expectation Is that the tax collections will be greater this year than last, when they to taled $47.6 billion. On the basis of preliminary reports giving personal Income figures for Franklin County in 1963, this year's Individual tax payments locally will be close to $2,564,000, a rise of $190, - 000. The national economy con tinues to move forward at a brisk pace. It is expected by the Administration to rise at an even faster clip during the rest of 1964. The extra push. Is to come from the cut In tax rates. Despite the fact that the tax rates will be lower, the Gov Walter Long Named To Head Lake Campaign In County A retired lumberman-farm er has been named to head a Franklin County committee In the Lake for Governor cam paign. He Is Walter P. Long of Louls burg, a leading supporter of gubernatorial candidate Bever ly Lake In 1960, when Lake received an overwhelming vote In Franklin County. Long, a former member of the Franklin County Board of Commissioners, says that oth Walter P. Long er members of the Lake for Governor committee will be named later. "Dr. Lake was the leading contender in Franklin County for the Democratic nomi nation for Governor four years ago," Long said In acknow ledging his appointment to a prominent position In the cam paign, "and he still Is. We expect his vote In Franklin County to be even larger in the May 30 primary bocnse, In my opinion, he Is the most able and best qualified of the candidates. Also, he has a positive program that win bene fit all North Carolinians after his election." In announcing Long's appoint ment as chairman of the Frank lin County committee, Dr. Lake said, "1 am happy to have Mr. Long associated with my cam paign. He and his committee will be of Inestimable help and I am confident of the nomi nation with support of Frank lin County voters and thousands of others like them throughout North Carolina." Dr. Lake will campaign on Friday afternoon, April 3, In Franklin County, and speak at 8 p.m. In the Court House In Loulsburg.

Some like Persian cats, which are beautiful things, others, as1 one little boy we know weli, likes a lot of pets, recently having at the same time, eleven puppies and wanting to keep them all. Pets are a pleasure and an expense. They are Interesting to watch and it is interesting to see how many different kinds can be found right here In Franklin County. Anyone want an elephant for a pet? would vote. One Commissioner questioned Indicated that he favored the program. While, he said, there were some that did not, he felt that It had done a lot of good and he said,4'! can't vote against hungry people." The /small groceryma;i Is op posed to the continuance of the program, one Board member said, and he Indicated that he was Inclined to vote against the program. He has had num erous complaints from mer chants throughout the county and from many Individual citizens he added. He said he didn't believe, however, any would attend the meeting Monday to voice their support or objection to the program. It Is estimated that over 300, 000 pounds of free food will have been given In Franklin County by the end of April. In a survey made by the Franklin Times in early March, It was pointed out that around 10,000 pounds of food was being dis tributed earh operating day at the warehouse. There were nine such days in March. Each family is allowed to re ceive their allotment only once each month. The survey also disclosed that, while the grocery merchants were losing some business to the program, many other merchants said their business had Increased. This they said was due to the recipients having money to spend for other things. The progi arrtfls a federal pro ject, administered statewide by the N. C. Department of Ag riculture and locally by the Welfare Department. It must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners before the program can be brought into a county. The Franklin County Board approved the program in Jan uary on a trial basis to run through April. They must again approve the program if it is to continue. They are expected to discuss the matter in their meeting Monday and possibly to make a decision. Should they not vote Monday, they will need a special meeting later to make the decision, according to one spokesman. Boxscore Raleigh?
