State Jobless Insurance Rate Changes For Most Employers More than 40 percent of employers who pay unemployment insur ance taxes will owe less next year, according to Ann Q. Duncan, chair man of the N.C. Employment Security Commission. Twenty-one percent will see their tax go up, 43 percent will decline and 36 percent will remain the same, she said. The tax rates, announced Nov. 15, "already reflect a 30 percent tax cut passed earlier this year by the General Assembly," Duncan said. "We continue to have one of the lowest unemployment insurance tax burdens in the country, and that's good for the entire economy." The new rates vary for almost every employer, she said, adding that the rates are based on a formula which includes the amount of taxable wages paid to employees the number of unemployment insurance claims filed by former employees, and the "overall economy." "The notice is not a bill, but rather employers should use it as a guide when planning their 1994 tax payments," Duncan said. ESC calculates the unemployment insurance tax rate annually. Employers are required to pay unemployment insurance taxes each quar ter. The new rate applies to wages paid during 1994.

Comprehensive Health Seeks Hospice Program Volunteers A local home health care business is seeking volunteers to support its new hospice program. A four-session, 20-hour training program will begin at 5 p.m. Thurs day, Dec. 2, at the Comprehensive Home Health Service office near Supply. Comprehensive Hospice provides medically-directed home care for terminally ill patients and their fami lies that focuses on decreasing pain rather than a cure. The program is an alternative that allows patients to die at home with family close by. "Volunteers are the backbone of the hospice program," said Renee Street, volunteer coordinator. Volunteers provide either direct care to families or indirect service. Direct care might include running errands and doing chores, providing transportation or visiting a patient while family caregivers take a break. Indirect service opportunities might include working with a telephone re assurance program, a newsletter and office work. Volunteers are also needed with special skills such as budgeting, homemaking and cook ing. Persons interested in volunteering or in more information should call either Becky Yoder at the Supplv of fice, 754-8133, or Street at 910-251 8111.
