Contributions , to the 1964
Heart Fund drive in Hoke
County have reached $819.59—
considerably more than last

Mrs. Ralph Barnhart, Heart
Fund chairman, said the re
ceipts came from a downtown
balloon sale, a roadblock, rural,
collections, business solici
tation and a door-to-door can
vass in Raeford.
She explained that while the
drive officl.tUy ended at the
end of February, memorial gifts
to the fund may be made all
year. Any contributions made
during the remainder of the
calendar year will be credited
to the 1964 drive.

workers.
with volunteer doctors, phar
macists and nurses, together
with a corps of non-proicsuoiial
workers, for the massive im
munization program designed to
help wipe out polio in this area.
“The generosity of the board
of education and Hoke Medical
Society in making these
locations available cannot be
over-emphasized,” said Gro
ver Owens, chairman of the
immunization drive.
“ I want especially to express
our gratitude to W. T. Gibson
Jr., superintendent of schools,
and Dr. Harry McLean for their
fine spirit of cooperation. Such
a massive drive as the Jay
cees have lauched would not be
possible without their coopera
tion,” Owens sad.
“ A noteworthy factor Is the
geographical distribution of the
five clinics, which will make
the immunization program con
venient to the residents of Hoke
County. This county-wide
pattern will facilitate the
prompt, no-waiting vaccine
service during the hours which
the anti-polio clinics will be
operating.”
The Sabine liquid vaccine is

MORE TAKE HOME PAY
Tax Cut Will
*676,680
How much more money will
residents of Hoke County have
in their pockets this year,
thanks to the new reduction in
federal income taxes?
The answer: about $676,680.
A part of that amount showed
up last week in paychecks here
as the new withholding rates
went Into effect.
The county-wide estimate is
based on Hoke’s 1953 per capita
Income of $1,002. The county
had an estimated population of
16,887 last year and personal
. Income of $16,917,000.
Some people arc benefltting
more than others under die new
withholding plan. In general,
there are bigger cuts in the tak
rates for those with large in
comes than for those in the
lower income brackets.
Those widi modest incomes--
and that includes a good deal of
Hoke’s population--will profit
considerably from the new
"minimum standard deduction"
of $400 for husband and wife.
Many Hoke families will be
lopp^ off the tax rolls because
of it.
In Hoke County—which ranks
94th in the state in per capita
Income—workers who draw
weekly paychecks are taking
home from 20 cents to $4.20
more each week.
Withholding tax for a worker
earning $42 a week, with two
exemptions, has been reduced
from $3 to $2.40. a saving of
60 cents. A worker earning $90
a week, with four exemptions.
is paying $2.30 a week less
in withholding tax.
Basically, Hoke County
workers are paying withholding
tax at the rate of 14 per cent
of earnings, as opposed to the
previous rate of 18 per cent.
The addition of that much
cash to the amount already In
circulation locally will have
a multiple effect, according to
econenists.
Their explanation is that the
increase in consumer buyiqg
will deplete store stocks, dais
creating the need for tnoro mar-
chandlse. This, in turn, will
stimulate factory produectoik
cause the hiriqg of nmro
workers, ami, finally, put omro
money into the ha^ of coo-
sumers.
