?etention Hall Awaits
Students suspended from classes at
Upchurcli School must attend a closely
supervised detention hall, in a recently
changed policy announced Friday by
Upchurch principal bar! Oxendine.
"We feel the student will receive
belter supervision here at school."
Oxendine said, "particularly when the
parents are unable to be at home during
the period of suspension."
Philas Johnson has been hired to
supervise the detention hall. Oxendine
said in a letter to parents.
"Johnson will supervise worthwhile
classroom assignments given by the
subject matter teachers," Oxendine said.
The principal explained that
suspensions involve infractions of school
rules and the length of time the sludent
is suspended is determined by school
authorities. The student will remain in
the detention hall all day. with the
exception of lunch.
A suspended student will be allowed
lo return to class after the first day,
Oxendine said, "if they make a signed
commitment to better behavior in the
classroom."
Oxendine said parents will be notified
by mail and by phone when possible
when students are assigned to the
detention hall.
Students suspended for violations of
the dress code will not be sent to
detention hall. Oxendine said, but will
be sent home as usual.
He said he has very high hopes for the
success of the new policy.
"I read somewhere that a child's
chances of getting into trouble triple
when he is not in school," the principal
said. "I feel like we're doing parents a
service and we hope to get a better
reaction from the students."
"We'll give homework while the child
is in detention and give credit for the
work done."
Oxendine said the hall is already in
operation.

Consumer Idiots
Or
Stingy Scotchmen?
Erik Erik son. the famous
psychotherapist and sociologist, said
that American society taught young
people to be "consumer idiots." With
the help of mass media and advertising
our youth have been taught for many
years to buy something, use it or break
it as soon as possible, and ihen buy
another.
Food, cars, clothing, medicines, and
toys for adults and children. All natural
resources were treated as if there were
endless supply. Technical know-how
and skilled workers could produce an
endless supply of everything! All we had
to do was keep producing enough TV
commercials to make sure that most
young people would grow up to buy
and buy and buy.
Now, all of a sudden, our President,
educators. and some business companies
tell us that we must cut back or quit
using things that are in short supply. In
fact, most families are being forced to
cut back because the price of essentials
like heating and travel are being
multiplied.
Whai Patents Can Teach
This time of shortages does offer an
opportunity for parents. While we plan
more carefully, cut back, and save in
many ways we can teach a truth thai
will always be valid. Here is a truth that
is backed up by most teachers of
psychology and by most religious
leaders of the world:
People live in this world with all
othei animals, plants, and material
matter This entire world should be used
with great care and respect. Trees take
30 to 100 vears to grow, and a lump of
coal takes millions of years to form. The
soil we dig in is precious because it
furnishes all the lood lor people and
animals. The air is just as precious.
In short, people are in this world to
cooperate with nature and not to
conquer or subdue natural things. Any
kind of waste or misuse of material
things is a ihreai to all people in a woild
where basic resources are grow ing short,
This truth can be taken into the
family. Respect for everything in the
world is pari of the task of teaching
respect for all people of the world
Parents can learn and teach how to
repair many things in the home instead
of throwing away and buying another
Relationships may be improved this
way.
In summary, we don't have to be
cither consumer idiots or stingy
Scotchmen! We can learn to become
careful planners who respect each other
and the whole world.

Federal Tax Bite,
$7,638,000 Locally
(Special to The News Journal)
NKW YORK. Mar. 22 ? With Tax
Day, April 15th, rapidly approaching,
residents ol Hoke County are busy
doing their arithmetic these days.
They arc working their way down to
the bottom line on their reports, which
will tell them just how much their
Federal income taxes will total this
year.
Will they be bigger or smaller than
they were last year, when theii tax
payments, including the amount
collected via withholding, came to
apptoxtmately S7.7IS.OOO?
That was the total received from the
local area, according to an unofficial
breakdown of the statewide collection
figures, recently telcascd by the
Treasury Department.
They show that personal income
taxes collected in the State of North
Carolina added up to SJ.507.000.000
and fliat residents of Hoke County
produced altoui 0.22 percent of it.
litis year the tax load will he
somewhat smaller overall, according to
the Government's expectations, as
detailed in the budget submitted to
Congress last month.
Many people will he paying less than
before because they were unemployed
part of the time and earned less. On the
other hand, those who had a full year of
employment and presumably earned
more than tit ll'71, will have bigger tax
bills.
The Administration counts oil
individual tax returns, utcluding payioll
taxes, amounting to approximately
S203 billion, which is S2 billion less
than was collected last year.
In Hoke County, based upon income
earned locally in 1974. this year's
contribution will be nearly 57,638,000,
it is estimated. Some of it may be
rebated later.
As for the following year, the budget
provides for a cut in personal income
taxes, the purpose being to revitalise the
economy by leaving more money in the
hands of consumers
It calls for a total of approximately
SI83 billion in such taxes, down some
S20 billion from the present level.
hot Hoke County residents, subject
io revisions that Congress is considering,
it would represent a reduction of about
10 percent in their combined tax load.

people that day, while the normal trip
to Hoke County only brings in between
nine to 14 visitors.
Disturbed over the few people who
come to the mobile office, Collins began
a new program recently of mailing out
postcards to residents prior to his visit.
The mailed invitation was used in
Lumberton and Fairbluff earlier with
good results, Collins said.
Most of the people who came to see
him Friday were concerned about Social
Security problems, Collins said.
However, he speculated that the
wording of the card may have had an
influence, since social security problems
weie mentioned specifically.
Collins said he had changed one
impression of the county as a result of
his contacts Friday. He was surprised,
he said, at the number of eligible
persons who were receiving food
stamps.
"I had been misled that Hoke had
been derelict in its duty about food
stamps," he said. "But, obviously, the
agencies have been doing their job."
