Little Chance Of Escaping Security Report Hillsboro — Orange County housewives, who have been em ploying part-time servants, learn ed. this week that they have very little chance of escaping the new social security report and tax pay ments for household servants. According to the first reports issued by the government,, only “those servants--who-were. paid $50 or .more in cash in a calendar quarter (January, February, March, for instance), were to come under the new social security law. This left out those who work ed a half-day twice, a week at 50c an hour or worked for 40c an hour three half-days a week. An explanation of the law is sued this week however, points out that servants who worked at least 24 different days-or part days, regardless of the number of hours, in a quarter, also come under the new law. This includes just about all household servants who work any more than one day each week. The system provides for bene fit payments of at least $20; monthr ly to qualified workers upon re tirement after reaching the age of 65. Employers who fail to meet the April 30 filing deadline can he charged 5 'per cent of the a mount due for each 30-day delay, up to a, 25 per cent maximum. There is also a 6 per cent annual interest charge on unpaid taxes. Willful violations of the re quirements - deliberate evasions, for example-can be punished more severely. Sentences could run as high as a $10,000 fine and five years in 'person. . ——-.-o--—— 4-H Church Sunday To Be Observed Throughout County Hillsboro — On April 29, ap proximately 20 programs will be presented in churches throughout Orance County by members of 4-H clubs in observance of na tional “4-H Church Sunday”, ac cording to M.1SS-Virginia Cathey, assistant home demonstration ag -nt.

Chapel Hill — The increasingly serious trailer problem is sche duled fbr a full dress review when he Board of Aldermen meet next Monday night. A recommendation from the Town Planning Board that an ord- ' nanee be passed requiring all trailers located at points-other ■h-a approved trailer courts, equipped with standard toilet fa cilities, be moved to such courts >r vacated by September 1 has brorop'ed the Aldermanic cons d eraticn. D--O D. Oarvin, district health officer, and J. E. Wadsworth, Uni versity Housing Officer, have been invited to consult with the Board. Health hazards and recent easing of the housing situation in Chapel Hill were among the factors con sidered hi the Planning Board ’■ecommendations, sent to the Al dermen in a letter signed by P. W Wagsr, secretary. The complete! recommendation >f. the Planning Board was as fol- 'J i___ tUW9. “At its regular monthly meet ing on Monday night, April 6, the Planning Board, adopted a reso-_ luticn to the effect that the Board of Aldermen be urged to adopt in ordinance requiring all trailers 'ccated at points other than in ^-proved trailer courts. equip;>ed with standard toilet facilities, to be moved to such courts or vacat ed by September 1, 1951. During the housing emergency trailers were allowed to locate in resi dential zones in violation of the zoning ordinance and contrary to normal sanitary requirements. Permanent residents of these neighborhoods have 'been most tolerant of these unsightly struc tures and of the health hazards introduced because of their sym pathy for the occupants. They have not insisted on the enforcement of either the zoning or public health ordinances. But now that the student enrollment has sharp ly decreased and the housing situ ation has been greatly eased, these neighborhoods iwhich have sutfj fered from the invasion of trailers respectfully urge their gradual - and eventually complete evacua tion. “The Planning Boasd believes that this is a reasonable request on the part of the affected neigh borhoods and that it is also iff keeping with the physical and social standards which Chapel Hill has set for itself. It respectfully urges the town authorities to seek the reestablishment and enforce mnt at thse pre-war. standard*.”. ► Concern over ■ ’ the - bacterial. count reports on milk furnished by some of the dairies sewing - Chapel Hill has- also been express ed by the Aldermen and Dr. Gpr*-.... vin will also be asked to advise them on this point. -1 ' A report of the Chapel Hill Re corders Court for March showed receipts of $2,940.
