SANTA MAIL - Edwina Cuen, 3, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Coen, drops her Christmas wishes to Santa Clous in the mail box in front of the Racford-Hoke Chamber of Commerce office as brothers Edwin 3, and Wayne, 7, stand by. Chamber officials promise to get the mail through directly to Santa. White Collar Jobs Gain In Hoke County NEW YORk, Dec. 12 - To what extent has the employment picture in Hoke County changed in recent years? How much job shifting has there been, due to automation? What proportion of working people in the local area are now in white collar occupations and what proportion in blue collar? National surveys by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, combined with date from the Department of Commerce, shed some light on the subject. They indicate that locally, as in most other areas, there have been many adjustments in the employment situation since 1960. Of the 4,745 men and women who were employed - locally at that time, 1,070 were in white collar jobs, the figures show. The rest in blue collar or service occupations or were employed on farms. Most noticeable, in Hoke County, has been the substantial increase since then in the proportion of white collar jobs. The rise, in the 10 ? year period, is estimated at 16.7 percent. This was in line with the growing demand for clerical, management, professional, technical and sales personnel. These white collar occupations have created opportunities for a large majority of the newcomers in the local labor force. Classified as blue collar in the government's reports are machinists, craftsmen, construction workers, factory operatives, transportation workers and the like. In Hoke County, due to the adjustments that have taken place, it is estimated that white collar workers now constitute approximately 26 percent of the local labor force. The finding is that the pay scale of the average unionized blue collar worker has been rising much faster lately than that of the white collar worker. As a result, the big difference in spending potential and living standards that once distinguished the two has become less evident. Blue collar workers, however, are more susceptible to layoffs than white collar. Knit-A way Announces Plant Work Day Week Employees at Knit ?

Veterans Corner NOTE: Below are authoritative answers by the Veterani Administration to some of the many current questions from former servicemen and their families. Further information on veterans benefits may be obtained at any VA office. Q ? I tm receiving on-the-iob training. May I also take some coUege courses at night and still receive on-the-job training? A ? No. The VA pays full-time benefits for on-the-job training, therefore you would not be eligible for additional benefits if you took the college courses. Q ? If I sell my home and secure a release of liability to the government for my GI loan, will 1 be eligible for a new GI loan? A - No. To qualify for restoration of your GI loan entitlement, you must have sold your home for a compelling reason, and the loan must have been paid in full. Q ? I plan to enter college under the GI Bill, and carry 16 semester hours. How much will VA pay me, since I have no dependents? A ? The latest amendment to the current GI Bill provides that if you have no dependents and carry the load you anticipate, your monthly payments will be $175 a month. 0 - Upon discharge from the Armed Forces, 1 received a lump sum disability severance payment. Will I have to pay this back to the government if ' am awarded VA compensation for the same disability? A - Yes. The law requires I hat VA monthly compensation payments be withheld until the amount received is equal to the amount of military severance pay you received because of the disability. 0 - I am a veteran of World war II, presently planning my insurance estate. I understand that some type of death pension is payable by the VA Jo my children when I die Uoes this pension depend on the child s income?

Somewhere I read of a tombstone that reads: "Born 1810. Died 1890. Lived SO years." It doesn't take higher mathmatics to fifture out that there is something radically wrong with that epitaph. Either the stonecutter made a gross mistake or else someone was saying that the man had not had a very full life during his eighty years. George Bernard Shaw suggested very nearly the same thing when he said that an appropriate epitaph for many people might be this: "Died at thirty; buried at sixty." Shaw's observation is both true and Biblical, I think. Jesus Distaff Deeds Bragging isn't bragging if you can prove it. And Hyde County proved that it could call itself the "fig capital of North Carolina" when county homemakers copped first, second and third place at the State Fair with their fig preserves. Fig preserves are increasing the income of Hyde County families that conserve them according to Extension recommendations, Mrs. Iberia Tunnell, home economics Extension agent, adds. Although Christmas is a time of year to strengthen family ties, several Extension Homemaker Clubs in Johnston County are not forgetting county residents who are away from home in state institutions. For the past month, club members have collected cash donations and individual gift items through Operation Santa Claus. At least one club woman believes these items "might give someone a feeling of belonging, of being loved and of the worthwhileness of life," Mrs. Dorothy Johnson, associate home economics Extension agent, reports. Save those spools after the thread is gone. You can use them as Christmas tree ornaments, Mrs. W.C. Gregory, an Alamance County homemaker, points out. Mrs. Gregory used spools, old beads, sequins, rick - rack, and scrap fabrics to decorate a small tree for several Alamance County holiday events. She also found time to teach others to make similar decorations, Mrs. Ozetta Guyc, home economics Extension agent, says. Ten Rowan County 4-H members found themselves plucking chickens one Saturday morning, in preparation for a club achievement dinner. suggested that there is much more to life than the mere activity of a living, human organism. He indicated that eternal life is something that one can experience on earth as well as In heaven. People debate whether there is a life after death, but perhaps equally important is the auestion of life before death. When racing driver Jim Paschal was listed by the UPI as one of four grand national drivers killed in accidents in 1964, he commented: "I don't think Eve been killed. At least I hope I'm not walking around dead." Perhaps Mr. Paschal isn't, but there seem to be more than a few people today who are, as he says, "walking around dead." Jesus said: "I came that they may have life, and have in abundantly." Abundant life, not existance, is the goal he sets before the Christian: to know life in its deepest, fullest sense. "In him," said John, "was life, and the life was the light of men." Jesus is the source of this life that is lived both before and after death. That is why Jesus Christ is so essential for Christianity. God expressed or revealed himself as fully as man can ever understand him in the person of Jesus. We cannot ever fully understand the nature of God, but when we look at Jesus we get our best idea of what and who God is like. What we see finitely expressed in the person of Jesus, we believe is infinitely real in the nature of God. "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us..." Several years ago we received for Christmas a gift of money in one of those little envelopes one obtains from banks. Later that day, my wife asked me where I had put the money. "Oh," I said, "I thought you had it." "And I thought you had it," she replied. Immediately we began to look for the misplaced envelope. We searched from one end of the house to the other with no success until, at last, one of us thought to look in the wastepaper basket with the dcscarded wrapping paper. At last, however, we found the money, crumpled up in its little white envelope in the bottom of the wastebasket. Ever since that day I always look ca re fully at the wastebasket before I burn it so that I don't throw away something valuable. The story above, I think, is a parable, for in a like manner we are constantly in danger of throwing away the most precious Christmas gift of all. Somewhere in the midst of the mountains of wrapping paper, the fanfare, the tinsel, the gay decorations, there is waiting for us the gift of abundant life in Christ Jesus. Let us make sure - oh, so sure - that we do not throw away this most precious of all God's gifts. 670 p r? b?droom house, g,2? J: Donaldson.
