Alex McMillan Urges Support For Child Support Enforcement Bill Calling the number of divorced fathers refusing to pay child support pay ments “a growing national disgrace,” GOP Congres sional candidate Alex McMillan today expressed his support lor federal le gislation that would pro vide greater enforcement of child support by en abling support payments to be deducted from an in dividual’s paycheck. “This approach is pro- family, pro-children and pro-taxpayer,” declared McMillan, pointing out that, according to Congres sional Budget Office es- Qass Reimicn Finley High School’s class of 1964 will celebrate its 20th reunion with a four-day and three-night Bahama cruise in June. The high school is located in Chester, S.C. But since then, many ot the class’ 81 students now reside in Charlotte.

In fact, fully one-fourth of the total received no sup port.” “Single parent families in America increased by 97 percent during the 1970’s,” McMillan continued, “with 90 percent of that amount headed by women. Ameri ca must no longer turn our backs on the millions of women and children who suffer because of fa thers who simply walk away from their moral and legal obligations.” The Child Support En forcement Act would re quire each state to devel op, implement and en force its own system of deducting amounts from wages for the collection of child support payments. “Congress should act on this national problem and provide greater enforce ment of child support ne glect,” McMillan stated. “If elected, I will support strong action.” DAY CARE ASSISTANCE Continuing to stress “the need to address the new realities of our changing labor force and the eco nomic pressures facing today’s family,” McMillan also announced his inten tion to support legislation providing tor “tax incen tives for private industry to establish and maintain on site day care facilities for parents who work on the premises.” Such legisla tion, he noted, “would be Call this number 376-0496 to report a missing paper_ sub-standard delivery service, to start weekly home delivery, etc.. iiPHOi.
