Last Sunday was Scout Sunday and the boys in troop 401 attended the Presbyterian Church for services. The troop led by George Ashley and Robert Averette. held a cracker - barrel get ? together Tuesday night for the fathers with a film on the 127,000 acre Scout ranch, Philmont, near Cinnamon, New Mexico, for entertainment. Lee Gillis. junior assistant scout leader, also showed slides ot his trip to the national Jamboree last summer. Tonight the Scouts will attend the Kiwanis meeting and display equipment that was purchased for the troop by the Kiwanis club. Recently the troop held an overnight backpacking trip at the Benton Thomas Pond about three miles from town. The campout, the second since the troop formed in September, was entirely planned by the Scouts. Local Business A survey by the National Association of Mutual Savings Banks show that the country's savings banks will increase their advertising and promotion expenditures by almost five per cent during 1970. Indeed, during December and January there was an upsurge of ads in newspapers placed by banks of all types, including savings batiks. commercial banks and savings and loan associations. The national survey is not only indicative that banks arc continually promoting their own growth, but that they recognize the force of the newspaper as a proven medium for their message. What makes the phenomenon even more interesting these days is that banking practices by the consumer are nominally used as one of the best indicators ot the country's true economic condition. The views of financial executives in America's banking institutions is always of vital interest to the public, for by those views a general trend can be established as to the "state of the nation" financially. By all indications, growth and progress aie assured. lhc record S33.3 million expected to be spent this year by America's banks will go principally to hometown newspapers. In fact, the survey points out that "newspapers continue far out in front as the favorite medium for savings banks' advertising..."

There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings." (Matthew 6:34 TEV) My favorite cartoon character is Charlie Brown. 1 remember one cartoon in particular in which he is seated on the curb, doleful and depressed. Snoopy, his loyal dog, is seated quietly beside him. Charlie dejectedly says; "I've developed a new philosophy. 1 only dread one day at a time." The present moment is often like a battleground between the past that haunts us and the future that frightens us. We know persons who spend much of their time fretting over the mistakes of the yesterdays that cannot be changed, or worrying about an imagined future that may never come tp pass. The purpose of today is to give us opportunity to keep on at this business of keeping on. Today has its own special needs to which we must address ourselves with perseverance -- or with what 1 like to call the "grace of grit." THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Forgoing the future and forgetting the past clear the way to live in the present - now. - Donald L. Batz (Illinois) Adjustment Errors Causing Federal Tax Refund Delay Greensboro -- Marly Federal income lax returns indicate that many taxpayers are making errors in claiming adjustments to their income which may delay their refunds, the Internal Revenue Service said today. The term "adjustments." as used on the tax four., refers only to sick pay. moving expenses, employee business expenses, and payments to self ?employment letuement plans. The total ol these itntes is entered on line 15B of the form I04U. the 1Kb said. Some taxpayers a i e incorrectly reporting on line 79% Of Public Funds For Schools Locally (Social to The News-Journal) NEW YORK. Feb. 6 - What does it take, in the way of money, to meet Hoke County's educational needs? How much is spent in other localities? What proportion of the local budget goes for school construction and maintenance, for teachers salaries and for other school costs? Just as in most other communities across the country -- the largest as well as the smallest -- local officials are faced with the problem of providing, with the amount of money available, sufficient educational facilities and opportunities to meet the ever ? growing demand. A Federal study of expenditures for education at the local level, covering all parts of the country, shows that such costs usually amount to nearly as much as all other costs combined. In Hoke County, the figures indicate, approximately 79 percent of all public spending is for education. In some communities the proportion is somewhat lower than that and. in others, quite a bit more. Nationally, the average is4S percent. It is 57 percent in the State of North Carolina The analysis of local government expendiiuies. made every five years, is based upon data compiled by the Department of Commerce for its current "Census of Governments." The previous one was in 1962. The report shows that total spending in Hoke County for public purposes amounted to S202 per local resident in the year. Of this. SI60 was lor education. In other counties across the country, the per capita cost of education averaged S146. Throughout North Carolina, it came to SI 18 at the local level. According to a survey of 1.200 school districts, made by School Management Magazine, the average school is spending 13 percent per pupil this year than last. The current outlay is S582 per elementary pupil, compared with SSI6 in 1969, and S757 per secondary pupil, as against S671 previously. The increase has had little effect, however, on the quality and quantity of education that children receive, it finds. The extra money represents higher operating costs. "Until inflation cools down, school districts that increase spending will, in effect, simply be spinning their wheels." it concludes. 1 5B. the total of their itemized deductions such as interest expense, state and local taxes, contributions, medical, or miscellaneous expenses. These deductions should be computed and entered on the uppropiiaie schedules as piovided in the instructions. The IRS also said that taxpayers are making mistakes by including as adjustments the exemption allowances for themselves, husbands or wives, children, or other dependents. For taxpayers who use the tax table to compute their tax. the exemption allowance is already figured into the table. Taxpayeis w ho use the tax rate schedules should make their computation rut Schedule T. which included in the legular tax packet. To avoid errors in claiming adjustments, the IRS suggested that taxpayers lead the instructions carefully and make sure they have attached the propet supporting documents. N?ill J.
