Late last week the Georgia Florida belt announced it would open July 28th. Last week the South Carolina market or Pee Dee belt, as it is styled, says it will open August 11. The August 11 date is one that has been generally rum ored as the time the Border Belt would open also. A meeting of the Border Belt warehousemen last Thursday night in Lumber ton did not come up with any positive dates in view of the then lacking information about South Carolina. The South Carolina market was reported meeting the same night to make its de cision. T'nder the Border belt plan set up last Thursday night, a special committee was to sur vey the situation then report back to the board of directors early this week. The results of the survey are expected to give an indi cation of when the market date will be. On the committee from this area are Buck Peay, Myrtle Beach, Whiteville warehouse operator and president of the WhitevlIIe Tobacco Board of Trade; Dial Gray of White ville; Roscoe C.

I (Continued On Page 2) 1 Helicopter Is Used For Check The helicopter arrived in the county on Sunday afternoon for the purpose of spot checking Brunswick County tobacco acre age. This job got underway Mon day morning at around 5 a. m. It is not known at this time just which farms were spot checked. Each year the State ASC Office is required to spot check a cer tain percent of the tobacco farms in the State. The helicopter was used for this the first time in 1959 and proved to be the most economical and fastest way to do the job. Issues Warning To Housewives Social Security Reports And Payments For Domestic Servants Due This Month Mrs. Doris Moss, Field Repre sentative of the Social Security Office in Wilmington, reminds housewives they must file social security reports by July 30, ii they employed anyone in their private home and paid cash wages of $50 or more during April, May, and June, 1960. Employers in this area send these reports, together with the i proper amount of tax, to the Dis trict Director of Internal Revenue in Greensboro. These reports must be filed and the tax paid to pro vide these household workers with protection against total loss of income due to old age or dis ability and to provide some meas ure of income to their dependents in case of their death. Mrs. Moss said the law places the responsibility for filing so cial security returns on the em ployer. It authorizes him to with hold three per cent from the em ployee's wages, and to pay an additional three per cent from his own funds. If he fails to de duct this from the worker’s wage, he is still responsible for the full six per cent. Failure to file these reports when due will add penalties and interest when paid at a later date, whether it is paid voluntar ily or involuntarily. This is true even though an employee may ob ject to the tax deduction. It is not optional for either the em ployee or the employer. Social Security coverage w'as first extended to household em ployees in 1951. Since 1955, the law has required a non-farm em ployer to make quarterly reports and pay the social security tax on any household worker to whom he paid as much as $50 in cash wages within the three-month pe riod. The only exception involves certain members of the employer's family.

Duffie is back on duty as commanding of ficer of Sunny Point Army Ter minal after spending one month in special study at Stanford Uni •fltfsity, in California. - Forty-nine transportation ex ecutives drawn from U. S. indus try and military services attended the 1960 Transportation Manage ment Program of Stanford Uni versity’s Graduate School of Busi ness. The intensive four-week pro gram, only one of its kind in the nation, is built around actual case problems taken from the various modes of transportation. The course of study includes i business policy, transportation | economics, financial analysis, | transportation management, and ! public speaking. | An additional feature is the “management game,” in which the student-executives set up their own companies and compete in the manufacture and sale of a I fictitious product. By feeding their managerial de cisions into a computer, the teams can determine effects of their de I cisions upon their share of the | market and upon the profit poten ! tial of their companies. The com |puter makes it possible to simu late several years of competition in a few weeks. Karl M. Ruppenthal, lecturer in transportation and management 'at Stanford, directed the program.
