Arts Council Sparking Interest ?
We are glad at the success of the
meeting here at the library last
Wednesday night to investigate
community interest in starting an
Arts Council for Hoke County. We
are proud that this meeting and its
follow-up in a couple of weeks can
be in the conference room of the
new Hoke County Public Library.
That the citizens of Hoke County
can get behind an effort and insure
its success is exemplified by the
very existance of the library build
ing itself. Hoke is a small county in
area, but it is large in spirit and
pride.
An integral purpose of the public
library has always been to provide
and support cultural enrichment of
the community it serves. Sandhill
Regional Library Director William
G. Bridgman and staff are gratified
that its February forum on govern
ment sponsorship of the arts was
the catalyst for such a concrete
endeavor as last night's meeting.
Book and Flower
One of the most beautiful and
elaborately illustrated children's
books, thinks this writer, is Hans
Christian Anderson's The Nightin
gale. translated by Eva Le Galli
enne. Nancy Ekholm Buckert's
paintings are properly Oriental in
style and feeling.
Most attractive of all is the one in
which the emperor is shown listen
ing to the nightingale for the first
time.
Citizens of Hoke County, take
note: the branches of flowering
shrub in the foreground and in the
urn at the entrance to the emper
or's hall are none other than those
of the saucer magnolia or "tulip
tree" which grace the courthouse
lawn and other locations around
the county and which were photo
graphed so strikingly by Suzanne
Aplin for last week's News-Journal.
More on National Peanut Month
No. we're not advertising Charlie
Brown or presenting a paeon to our
new president: the material in our
library proclaiming March as Na
tional Peanut Month was prepared
by the National Peanut Council and
obtained by Edna Jo Hall, Out
reach Librarian. Sandhill Regional
Library System.
From a nutshell history of peanut
farming over the centuries and
around the world to recipes for
peanut goodies to be served at a
peanut party, the brochure accom
panying the poster offers sugges
tions for a school unit or part of a
unit on that venerable staple -- the
goober.

Tax Returns Ahead
Of Last Y ear's Filing
Greensboro -- With only four
weeks remaining in the federal
income tax filing season. North
Carolinians are taking the forms
from the shelf, dusting them off
and settling down to the chore of
telling Uncle Sam if they owe more
tax or are due a refund.
After a slow start earlier in the
year. North Carolina taxpayers are
filing returns at a slightly faster
rate than last year. As of March 1 2.
records indicate that 1 ,049.692
returns had been received from the
Tar Heel state. Of this number.
829,063 had been processed and
638,449 refunds issued, totalling
$227 million, an average of $356
per refund.
More short Form l040A's are
being received this year, indicating
that many taxpayers are taking
advantage of the increased stand
ard deduction instead of itemizing
deductions.
Don't Miss Credit
When you file your tax return
this year, chances are you have at
least one tax break coming. It's
called the General Tax Credit.
Many North Carolinians are
making errors when computing
their General Tax Credit, accord
ing to Robert A. LeBaube. district
director for the Internal Revenue
Service in North Carolina.
"There is an option you may
choose this year," the director said.
"You may take S35 per exemption
claimed on your return, or two
percent of the first S9.000 of
taxable income, whichever is larg
er. The important thing to remem
ber is to take the larger of the two
options, but not both, as many"
people are doing."
The new credit does not affect
the $750 exemption allowed for
each dependent when figuring tax
able income.
Complete instructions on how to
claim the General Tax Credit are in
the tax package.
