$1,635,000 > NewtJournal) 1$ m&m Federal via the various , aid programs, how . Court; v batn making ?BM:;" C* '*>%' What portion of the grant* mtdi during the ocst vctr. totaling S23.5 billion, went to Um local area? Judging from state ? by ? state figures compiled by the Tax Foundation, a national aon - profit organization that watches government taxation and spending, Hok) County's allotment was relatively large. During the pest fiscal year, an estimated $1,635,000 was awarded for local purposes under a number of aid net- the State of North Carolina aa a whole, th? granta totaled $507?00,000, the Tax Foundation reports, beaad upon flfiuea it obtained from the Treasury Department. The grants were made to help# l|e atate and its communities with such needs aa urban renewal, roe da, school construction, child welfare, health facilities and education. The amounts, it is explained, refer only to grants ? in * aid and do not cover other Federal spending in local areas, such as for goods and services. On the other side of the ledger is the cost of these benefits to the local communities. They are paid for out of Federal income and excfee uxes that are collected from local residents and allocated to the aid programs. Hoke County's contribution for such purposes in the past fiscal year was approximately $1,390,000, a breakdown of the foundation's figures shows. The statewide total came to S431,000,000. In most parts of the country, the grants and the costs do not balance out equally. There is no attempt to make them balance. The determining factor in awarding grants, it is explained, is each community's needs and requirements, weighed against the needs of other localities. As a result, in some areas the contributions to the aid programs far exceed the return in the form of grants. In others the reverse is true. The extent to which the grants have multiplied in size in recent years is indicated by the Treasury Department's figures which show that they have climbed from nearly $7 billion in-I960 to $23.5 billion last year. Social Security News By C. V. She)ton, Field Representative FayetteviUe Sockl Security Office Do you hive to retire completely in order to receive retirement benefits from Social Security? No, you don't! The earnings that a person has may or may not affect his right to receive payments. This is related to what we in the Social Security business call the retirement test. This is a somewhat complicated test and has many facets. I suppose the best way to explain it is to break it down as follows: 1. A man or a woman age 62, who has worked long enough to be eligible for payments, may receive each monthly check in any year, even though that person continues to work, just so lortg as the yearly earnings do not amount to more than SI680. 2. Regardless of how much the individual may earn in a year, be it S5.000, $10,000 or more, that person can receive a monthly check for any month in which earnings don't exceed SI40 as an employee. A self - employed person may receive benefits for any month in which that person is not active in the operation of a business or farm. A school teacher is a good example, as eligible school teachers may receive monthly Social Security checks for the summer months when they are not teaching. A tobacco warehouse operator is a good example of a self employed person, as the warehouse operator may receive monthly Social Security checks for the months the warehouse is not in operation. For further information on the retirement test, please phone us in Fayetteville at 483-2661. By MRS.

Tom Chason who has been a patient at the Veterans Hospital for several weeks returned home Monday. "Terrible!" said Hiram*. "Scandalous!" retorted Emily*. "Shocking!" exploded Ralph*. This was a fair sampling of responses by many of the good church people of Afton* to an article in the local Sunday paper concerning the public pronouncements of a now infamous atheist. "There is no God," the atheist was quoted as saying, "and the sooner people give up their superstitious religious practices, the quicker this world will know peace and prosperity for everyone!" "Terrible!" Hiram had exclaimed. He is sales manager for a local discount store. Much of that store's success was attributable to Hiram's shrewd - and often, slightly dishonest ? merchandising tactics. These included "marking down" prices that had been purposely over - inflated, making price comparisons on products that only seemed comparative in quality, holding "bargain sales" that weren't really "bargains," failing to mention extra "hidden costs," and staying open Sundays and holidays in defiance of local closing laws. Hiram's success was recognised by his church when he was elected a trustee, a move that was resented by some members of the church whose own businesses had suffered in competition with Hiram's tactics. "Scandalous!" Emily had said. She is a bookkeeper for a small company that makes precision missile parts for the government's space program. Emily, a teacher of youth in the church school, likes her job very much. The salary is excellent and the working conditions are ideal. When she first took the job she was disturbed to learn that it was unwritten policy to falsify entries on costs data. But when she was told that "everyone does this kind of thing on government contracts," she decided it wasn't worth losing her job. As a result, she never even thinks about it anymore. "Shocking!" had been the explosive response of Ralph, a superintendent in his church school for more than twenty years. He was also a clerk in the city licensing bureau, a job he had gotten through political patronage and kept by doing what was expected of him. What was "expected of him'' included giving preference to firms and individuals that "voted right" and financially supported the party. It sometimes even included "looking the other way" when some of the best contributors to the party were found to be in violation of the license provisions. Doing "what was expected" didn't really bother Ralph, for he was convinced "that's the way it is in politic*," and the other party would do the same if it got a chance. There we are: three churchmen who react vigorously against the suggestion that there is no God. Strange that it never occurs to them that their lives say pretty much the same thing. This is the message that the prophet Isaiah brought to the people of his own day. They professed to believe in God - the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ? but they lived in a way that denied their profession of faith. Regardless of what they said with their mouths, the atheism of their deeds was clear to the prophet." ! So it is with the Christian atheist. He does not say, 'There is no God," he just acts that way! (?All names in this story are wholly fictitious - L.W.A.) Local Business "Prosperity is everybody's business..." This assertion by a former Secretary of Commerce points to the necessity of good salesmanship at all levels in our economy as the key to national prosperity. Prosperity cannot be made by automobile manufacturers in Detroit. It cannot be made by appliance manufacturers in Philadelphia or Los Angeles. The manufacturers can help by producing better products and advertising them well and by keeping a large labor force employed. But the giant industries are dependent upon the retailers of all the towns and cities of the nation. Their ambitions wither and their plants close when the local retailer fails in the ultimate job of placing new products in the hands of the consumer. It is the business of industry to promote the general features of its products through national advertising. But it is probably of more importance for the local retailer to inform the consumer on specific details which will lead to purchases. And it is, of course, the business of the consumer to spend his money when and where he may find goods and services which will enrich his life. However, the consumer cannot be expected to spend money for the take of spending. For the consumer to take full part in creating and maintaining prosperity, he necessarily needs the information which can be provided only through local retail advertising.
