Homeowners Must Pay
SS Taxes For Workers
[Extcnuon Service)
Impossible to get along
without your cleaning lady?
Then be sure you're reporting
and paying the employee's
Social Security taxes—or you
may wish you had.
You—because you could have
to cough it up later plus
interest and penalty charges.
And she—because this may be
her only way to qualify for
Social Security benefits later
on.
Whether your help is male or
female makes no difference.
Any domestic help that you pay
fifty dollars or more to in a
calendar quarter of the
year—you must file the
employer's quarterly tax re
turn for them. And along with
that, enclose a check for 11
point 7 per cent of the
employee's wages. You pay half
of that— and subtract the other
half from your employee's
check each time you pay her. Or
you can opt to pay the whole
bit.
What happens if you don't do
this? Maybe nothing. But on the
other hand, when the worker
becomes eligible for benefit*
under the Social Security Act
later on, she could claim that
she worked for you. And you
might find yourself having to
dig up not only the worker's
share and your share of the tax
owed—but seven per cent
interest due on the full amount
—plus extra penalties.
And your worker may have a
lot to lose, too. True, a married
woman often fares better in
retirement on her husband's
Social Security earnings. However,
if she should become
disabled, she could be eligible
to receive benefits based on her
own coverage. Or if she should
die, her dependents could
receive benefits.
There's little doubt—it pays
to have Social Security benefits
handled correctly.

Warren Academy Jayvee Girls's Team
Sweeps Three Games For Tourney Crown
By DON STITH
Warren Academy's jayvee
girls team, seeded third in the
Carolina Academies Conference
regular season, swept three
straight games to win the
tournament played at Enfield
recently.
Warren opened with a 26-14
win over sixth-place N.E.W. in
the opening round. Peggy
Alston and Lisa Delbridge led
the Lady Warriors with six
points each and Lisa Bobbitt
added .another five.
In their second tournament
outing. Warren took on
second-seeded Hobgood and
were again victorious by the
Men's Tournament
Slated At Norlina

that nine teams nad entered the

score of 20-16 in double
overtime. Both teams were
playing a little tight and
weren't shooting very well.
This set the stage for strong
rebounding which suited Lisa
Delbridge fine as she collected
17 rebounds and scored six
points along with teammate
Peggy Alston. Cindy Isles
chipped in five.
Linda Bobbitt played a good
defensive game, cutting down
on some of the scoring that led
Hobgood to two regular season
wins over the Lady Warriors.
Linda sprained her knee in the
last minute of regulation play
and had to miss the remainder
of the tournament.
Good defense was the key to
Warren's championship win
over top-seeded Northeast by a
score of 1713.
Several times the guards of
Northeast found themselves
facing Peggy Alston, Lisa
Delbridge, Denise Cheek and
Cindy Isles, only to have their
shots blocked with the Lady
Warriors gaining possession of
the ball. Peggy Alston scored
eight points in the game and
was the tournament's leading
scorer with 20. Lisa Delbridge
led all rebounders with seven.
Denise Cheek, who replaced
the injured Linda Bobbitt,
scored a free throw in the final
minutes to put Warren ahead
for keeps.
At the end of the
championship game, the Lady
Warriors received a trophy and
the game ball. The players had
already cut down the net to add
to their collection. This was a
fine ending for a team that
finished the regular season 5-5.
Dedication, determination
and pride would seem to best
describe the 16 young girls who
brought the jayvee championship
to Warren Academy.
Newest Of The Red-Hot Sellers
Old-fashioned wood-hurning
stoves are hot selling items
these days.
Upset hv soaring utility bills
in a bitterly cold winter,
cost-conscious homeowners are
making collectors' items out of
those vintage potbellied and
Franklin stoves that once
warmed railroad stations and
country schoolhouses. the
National Geographic Society
report «■.
"We bought an old secondhand
parlor stove to heat the
living room of our little
rambler." recalls a man in a
small Ohio town. "To our
amazement, the stove shed
heat throughout the house.
Most of the time we didn't need
to turn on the oil furnace."
Popular in I'ities
Demand for the stoves
reaches far bevnnd small
towns, distant suburbs, and
vacation areas. "My firm sold
3.500 wood stoves last year."
says a Washington. D. C..
dealer. "They ranged from
small tin units and traditional
Franklin stoves to fancy models
from Scandinavia and cost
anywhere from $20 to $700."
Large retail chains regularly
list wood stoves in their
catalogues. The sophistication
of the units would boggle (he
minds of frontiersmen who had
to huddle in front of crude
fireplaces to stay warm. "The
thermostatically controlled
damper regulates heat output
by controlling combustion
air-flow." reads one ad.
Compared to many familiar,
household objects, the enclosed
metal stove now making a
strong comeback is a fairly
recent invention. The Chinese
supposedly used them centuries
ago. but the charcoal brazier
cast the dominant glow in-the
West.
Appearance of the first
chimneys in the Middle Ages
opened the way for the
brick-and-tile stoves that heated
rooms all over France,
Holland, and Germany.
Riveted the PUtes
Records indicate that iron
stoves first were cast in Alsace,
then a German province, in the
late 15th century. Soon other
German and Dutch foundrymen
were riveting iron plates
together to form cylindrical fire
containers.
But these primitive stoves
left much to be desired. They
had no grates or openings to
control «ir. Most people
continued to use fireplaces for
cooking and heating.
Heating problems in the New
World were, if anything, worse
than those in Europe. Rarlv
American colonists with coal
stoves had to import all their
coal from Europe.
First Lady Abigail Adams
wrote plaintively: "Surrounded
with forests, can you believe
that wood is not to be had.
because people cannot be found
to cut and cart it?" she noted
I hat her household had
"recourse to coals: but we
cannol ?et grates made and set.
We have, indeed, come into a
new eqmitry,"
' ¥?en jamin Franklin became
America's heatiner hero. Fed up
with fireplaces—"man is scorched
before, while he is froze
behind"—he invented a por- '
table iron fireplace that
protruded into the room and
cast much more heat than a
recessed fireplace. Today
modern variations of his
"miraculous stove" have never
been more popular.
