How do local governmental expenditures for school operations compare with those in other communities? A report recently released by the Department of Commerce, following a nationwide survey, shows that education is, by far, the most costly element in local budgets. No less than 69 percent of the expenditures made in Hoke County by local government agencies are for school construction and maintenance, for teachers salaries, for equipment and for various other expenses connected with school operations. It runs considerably more than this in some parts of the country and somewhat less in others. On the average, throughout die United States, local governments have been alloting 41 percent of their budgets for education. In the State of North Carolina. 51 percent has been earmarked for that purpose. Local governments provide only a portion of the education bill. The rest comes from Federal and state sources. The data was compiled by the Social and Economic Statistics Administration in the first study of the kind since 1967. It surveys the finances of local communities every five years. Of the total expenditures made by governmental bodies in Hoke County, which were equivalent to S318 for every man, woman and child in the population, S220 went for education, it shows. By way of comparison, the outlay for education at the local level elsewhere in the United States was S234 per capita. The average was S186 in North Carolina. The magnitude of education's impact on the American economy is indicated in reports released by the National Education Association and the U.S. Office of Education. They estimate that expenses in the current school year will amount to S108 billion, which is about 8 percent of our gross national product. Some S68 billion of it will be going to elementary and secondary schools and $40 billion to institutions of higher education. Involved are 58.6 million students and over 3 million teachers. Accent On Agriculture This country has undergone dramatic changes in its 200 years of existence and many of those will be emphasized as we commemorate our bicentennial. An area that needs action now as we reflect on the past is with federal estate tax laws. The estate inheritance tax exemption became law in 193') with an initial allowable exemption of S40.000.

That was Increased in 1942 to $60,000, but since then nothing has been done to bring it up to date. In the meantime, the average farm size has doubled out of necessity and lard values have gone up substantially because of inflation, thereby eroding the value of the estate tax exemption. Congress is considering an estate tax reform bill designed to preserve the family farm as well as the family-held business. The bill attacks three aspects of the problem by raising the specific estate tax exemption; increasing the marital deduction; and making it possible for the executor of an estate to have property that is used for farming, woodland or scenic open space assessed on the basis of its current use rather than higher potential uses. Tamilles who worked together on the land to help pay for it are finding they are having to pay for it all over again when the landowner dies. At present, farmers can seek relief only through lifetime planning and making certain they have enough liquid assets in case of emergency. This path of action is open only to those who can afford to hire tax consultant advice and still does not offer any kind of real guarantee to avoid the loss of a family business. Every day that passes before Congress acts means more families are put in hartMMp ssttiations by being forced to ttO iff busrfjust to pay estate taxes that art based on figures a quarter of a centuiy did.

TAKING A BREAK - Two unidentified members of the high school Chorale shown here take a break and enjoy one of the rides at Six Flap Over Georgia amusement park, Saturday, where the Chorale performed in the music festival. Spotlight Dolly Madison, Accidental Tar Heel One of America's foremost first ladies was accidentally born a North -Carolinian. Dolly Payne Todd Madison, who influenced Wadiington society for more than half her 81 years, was born in what is now Guilford County, May 20, 1758. Her parents, John and Mary Payne, were visiting from Virginia when their third child and ftrs\ daughter, armed. From the earliest, Dolly Payne exhibited the enormous charm and beauty that was to be hers throughout her long life. A blue-eyed brunette with amazingly fair complexion, she sometimes chaffed under the strick Quaker upbringing. But not even the drab Quaker garb could hide her budding beauty as she moved with her family to Philadelphia at 15. At 22, when all her friends had long since married, and had begun to think of the gay Dolly as a spinster, she married "within the Meeting" - a Quaker lawyer approved by her family. Dolly and John Todd set housekeeping in Philadelphia. Two sons were born to the couple. Sadly, the second infant and his young father died in the yellow fever epidemic of 1793. Meanwhile Dolly's mother, left a widow with a large family, had begun to keep members of Congress as boarders. Aaron Burr, one of the boarders, brought James Madison to the house to meet the beautiful Dolly, 17 years his junior. They were married a year later, Sept. 14.1794. The young Madisons were friends of the new President Thomas Jefferson. Widower Jefferson was 58 when he moved into the still-unfinished executive mansion in the raw capital city on the Potomac. He had two married daughters who could not leave their families to serve as official hostess. The talent Dolly, now wife of Secretary - of - State Madison, moved into the vacuum at Jefferson's request, to make the White House hospitable and comfortable. Meanwhile, the Madison home, two blocks away, became second only to the White House itself for social popularity. Dolly Madison's particular talents-a congenial nature and her incredible memory for names and faces - were to serve her well throughout her eight years as first lady, and the long years afterward. But Dolly's virtues lay not only in her graciousness and charm in social atuations. During the War of 1812, as Madison rode away to Bladensburg eight miles away to defend the capital, he warned his wife, "Be sure to take these documents with you (if you are forced to leave)." The next morning, contrary to the opinion of most, it became apparent that the British would indeed invade Washington. At the risk of her own life, Dolly rushed about among the terrified servants, calmly packing the precious documents. The small trunk overflowed Two years ago, two pairs of swallows drew a long line of mud on a wall - a few inches below the eaves of the manse. I wondered why. Last year they strengthened and enlarged this line, Why? Were they deciding if the manse was suitable? Apparently it was, for this year they came back; and with mud pellets carefully molded from the edge of the stream, bit by bit, they built homes. Doing only a few layers daily - each day's work dry and solid before further additions - they only added to firm foundations. Life must have a good foundation on which to build a solid and lasting friendship. True friendship is built slowly, worth the effort, and seldom lost. Jesus is the foundation on which to build a friendship. He is the builder and foundation ot our faith, our everlasting Friend. PRAYER: Our Father, help us to build more securely on the foundation rock of Thy love, so that we may not drift from Thee. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God it love - that it my foundation. with papers, leaving no room for clothes. She wrote, "Our private property must be sacrificed as it is impossible to procure wagons for its transportation." As she turned to leave, Dolly spied the portrait of George Washington. "Wait", die cried. "Get the portrait of George Washington from the wall." But the heavy frame was attached securely. "Break the frame," Dolly ordered. Finally, she settled into the carriage taking her to safety in Virginia, breathing easier that the documents and portrait were safe. She could see the flames of the White House and other government buildings as die looked back. After his presidency, James and Dolly Madison retired to their Virginia estate "Montpellier" ? "to live happily ever after." From time to time they returned to Washington for a winter, with Dolly always the accomplidied hostess in demand. She also entertained prodigiously at Montpellier. She wrote to her sister, "... there 90 guests at one time at a table outside on the lawn under a thick arbor." James Madison died in June 1836 at Montpellier. Dolly returned to Washington, and again assisted young and experienced official hostesses at the executive mansion. And still in great demand everywhere, Dolly gave and attended parties, and accepted invitations of all kinds. The great lady, greatly beloved, who had seen a procession of presidents pass through the background of her life, died quietly on July 12, 1849. The Dolly Madison Birthplace Memorial opened last year in Greensboro, a period log house containing many original items - a memorial to the foremost fust lady of our country - accidentally born in North Carolina.
