That would Include eatabllalung a development office and hiring a full-time apeclallst to aeek new Induatry and quarter back other planning and development, Eatlmated flrat-year cost of the operation would be about $13,090, according to Fout. Financing of the organization haa been dropped into the lap of eowty commlaalonera, alnce the county obviously would bo a prime beneficiary of any Increase In taxable Industrial property. And there the proposal rests, because the annual btldget, approved early last summer and effective In July, does not offer a source of $13,000, particularly In that general tax revenue cannot be used for such apuipose without tha people approving a tax levy qteclflcally for tha project. It has been suggested that the county might wisely use a portion of Its share of forthcoming state beer tax rebates, which will amount t6some$20,009ayearor more, to finance the project. However, no such rebate will be available until a year hence, since legal sale of beer and light wine began Campaign Office Opens United Fund headquarters has been opened In the office of Raefbrd Savings and Loan, and will be available tor cam paign workers from 8; 30 a.m, to 5 p.m. dally.

Franklin Teal and Palmer Wlllcox are chairmen of this year’s campaign. Solicitors at the two local plants of Bur lington Industries are under.t^ direction of Sam HomewoQd and Lnassii Al^ood.

In the event the goal Is not reached, participating agencies will share on a pro rata basis. United Find officials have been high In their praise of local contributors, particularly the employes at the mill and other Industries. They have urged workers In downtown bus iness establishments and offices to give as generously as they can to keep pace with Pacific Mills contributors. Contributions at the mill each year average better than $5 per employe, campaign officials said. Most employers. Including the mill, will make small weekly payroll deductions to ease the burden of contr ibutors.

Commissioners are understandably reluctant to commit money they do not have at hand and state law forbids bor rowing without a vote of the electorate. Commissioners have In the meantime established a tour- man nominating committee to select nine members tor the planning and development commission. It Includes Dr. Town send, Franklin Teal of the town board, Tom McBryde of the county board, and T. B. Lester Jr., county manager. A primary contention of the chamber of commerce Is that the county Is not In a ffevorable position to' compete for new Industry, since most other counties in the state have in- diutrlal development offices and specialists who devote fun time to Industry hunting. Many oi the offices have been In (^ration for a decade or more. Fout related to commissioners the experience of Onslow and Duplin counties, both of which within the..past few years have established Industry-hunting offices. Within the first year or two, both counties attracted enough new industries to increase the tax valuation far beyond the annual cost of the development operation. Fout emphasized, too, that the office proposed here will not confine Itself to hunting new Industry, but 'wUl con centrate on the total development of the community and its economy.

"The once pretty leaves are falling to mar the yards and possibly to cause a fire If a careless match Is dropped. Too, most bulbs areplantednow for spring beauty, as are many early blooming plants. Use these warm pretty days to rake the leaves, and begin next spring's garden." I PETE SAWYER, RIGHT, ACCEPTS AWARD FROM PHIL DIEHL Families In High Brackets (Special to foe News Journal) NEW YORK - Many Hoke County families are finding themselves in higher income brackets than ever before, foanks to foe improvement in their earnings during foe last few years. Some of them, who had nev er been above foe $4,000 to $7,000 bracket, have climbed a rung to foe diolce $7,000 to $10,000 level. Others, who had been in the lower brack ets for a long time, have been able to move up to foe next higher position. That has been foe pattern all along foe line. As a result, there are more families in foe middle and upper Income ranges and fewer in foe lower groups than previously. For most local residents, it has'meant an increase in pur chasing power because foelr earnings have advanced at a faster clip than the cost of living. The changes are detailed in a copyrighted report Issued by Sales Management- It shows, for every area of foe coun try, the portion of the pofxi- lation that falls within each of the income divisions. In Hoke County, according to foe breakdown, some 39.9 per cent of foe households had net cash incomes of $4,000 or more in foe past year. This was after payment of their federal and state taxes.
