INTO YOUR COMMUNITY TO PROMOTE HOMI OWNERSHIP OTHER ACCOUNTS AVAILABLE TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS - W RAEFORD Savings & loan Association 113 CAMPUS AVE. RAEFORD Hoke County Workers Retiring Earlier (Special to The^'ew^fournal) NLW YORK. Apr. I 1 - In Hoke County, as well as in most other communities across the country, "non-work" is one of the fastest growing occupations today. Counted in the non - work class in the local area are those able - bodied males over age 14 who are neither working nor looking for work nor going to school. For the most part they are people who have acquired sufficient resources or financial backing to enableThcm to not - work, many of them at a comparatively early age. Although there a.re ^or^e shirkers among them who rely, upon the rest of society to provide for them, the great majority are quite different. Because their funds are adequate for their needs they don't have to work and they don't choose to do so. In Hoke County, the number of men in this non - work group is estimated, on the basis of statistics from the Department of Labor and the Department of Commerce, ai about 860. The number in that category in 1960 was 641. Throughout the I'nited States at the present time theie are 8.S million men in this non - work population. Of those who are over 65, three out of four have retired. The others in' that age bracket are still working. The proportion of non - workers among those over 65 is 22 pe'eent greater than it was in I960. In Hoke County there are many more men who are over 65 and no longer working than there were ten years ago. At that time the total was 247. What do they live on0 Outside of savings, interest, dividends and other income from investments that they might have, their main source of funds is from government "transfer payments. ' These include social security benefits, pensions, the proceeds of life insurance policies, veterans benefits, unemployment insurance and the like. Because retirement has become easier, financially, the proportion option"* workers to workers has Heen rising. In the local area, ",on>-the basis.of the latest fig*fcs, an estiraifi& "tr7, percent of the nttife population over 14 is now in tl)6&on ? school, non ? work c a t ?g wr y. The comparably percentage in I960 was 13. Elsewhere in the United States, the non ? 'workers represent 14 percent of the total. 4-H Talent Show The County 4-H Talent Show will be Friday.

Bailor County Agricultural Agonti Tobacco growers should be checking their plant beds every day for any signs of disease. These showers that we have been having this past week plus the cool nights are ideal for blue mold spread. Earlier in the week some symptoms showed up on some beds on Route 1. Red Springs. Plants were sent to the lab and it showed no disease present. It was diagnosed as weather fleck in the plant beds. This is very unusual and according to Mr. Furney Todd this is his first knowledge bf it being in the plant bed. Some flecks occur on large tobacco in the summer and it is caused by a substance called Ozones that comes out of the air in polluted areas. Most plants will grow out of the damage but it scares you to death when it hits. Growers are encouraged to find out their txoujsles as they occur and also to use a preventative measure until transplanting time. Rembember that strong disease ? free plants are the best to set in the field. We are approaching the season for insects to attack pine trees. The pine tip moth and the different kinds of pine b e a 11 e s are the most destructive. Trees fmist be checked often to see the damage. Resin coming out of the tree neat the base and dried resin on (lie outside bark is a good indication that your trees have been attacked. Karly detection can sometimes help to save your trees. Trees die fast due to the insects slopping the nutrient supply, by tunneling through the sjp area just under the bark. Chemical control -of the beetles can be done with lindane. Three to live tablespoons of lindane per gallon of water or fuel oil is the proper rate. Oil will soak the material through the bark and will do an effective job of killinu the beetle.
