We can imagine how Mr. Pete
, Lovell of the Little Whale Res
. taurant felt when he came out to go
home Saturday night and was
. confronted with a hold up. A
robber demanded he surrender his
By Mrt. A. A. McImtj
pistol, money sack and car keys
and get down on the ground, this
he did. Mr. Lovell is a good man or
he would have used a second pistol
on him as he ran. The robber not
knowing he had the second one in
his pocket. He left car keys and car,
threw the pistol down at Highway,
seemed the money was all tie was
after . He better consider that a
lucky get and not try it again soon.
We need our old method of ball
and chain road gang back for those
caught, instead of T.V.s and
rocking chairs in prisons or better
still turned loose to do same thing
the next night.
Our sympathy goes to the
Lunsford and Guin families in the
death of Thelma Lunsford Guin.
Thelma was a woman of few words
but her kind actions spoke much
louder than any words she could
have said. She was noted for her
good cooking, which her neighbors
were invited to share in her home so
often. She will surely be missed by
those who knew her best.

COMMENT
To have good neighbors you
must First be a good neighbor.
This Is The Law
Alexander sends Batts an order
for goods. Batts turns over the
order to another merchant, Crum
pler, who fills it without disclosing
to Alexander that the performance
does not come from Batts. Is there
a contract?
No. An offer can be accepted
only by the person to whom it is
made. The identity of the person
accepting the offer is as much a
condition of a bargaining offer as
any other term. Alexander might
not have wanted to contract with
anyone other than Batts.
Batts could have accepted the
offer and then employed Crumpler
- 1_. ^ t I
as his agent to perform the
contract. In this case, the contract
would have been between Alexan
der and Batts.
Here is another case:
Downing informs Johnson that
he intends to make an offer to sell
his automobile to Kirk at a
specified price. Johnson gives the
information to Kirk. Kirk im
mediately writes a letter to Down
ing, saying that he accepts the
offer. Is there a contract?
No. A person cannot accept an
offer unless its terms have been
communicated to him by the
person making the offer.

Sick Pay Exclusion
Reinstated
The new tax just signed by
President Carter will allow an
estimated 25,000 North Carolina
tesidents to qualify for and receive
a sick pay exclusion that was
virtually wiped out by the Tax
Reform Act of 1976.
According to the Internal
Revenue Service, taxpayers who
retire on disability prior to their
employer's mandatory retirement
age can exclude from tax up to
S100 per week in disability pay
ments, received in lieu of wages.
IRS District Director in North
Carolina, Robert A. LeBaube,
said, "This sick pay exclusion can
be claimed only until the taxpayer
reaches the age at which retirement
would have been mandatory." To
claim the exclusion, a taxpayer
cannot have reached the age 65
before December 31, 1976.
Taxpayers who qualify for the
exclusion must file an amended
Federal tax return {Form 1040X)
and From 2440. available at any
IRS office. The name(s), address
and social security(s) must be the
same as those on the original return
filed earlier this year. A taxpayer
having received an extension to file
until June 15 may file Form 1040
with the 2440.
When completed, these forms
are mailed to the Internal Revenue
Service Center. 3131 Democrat
Road. Memphis. Tenn. 38110. for
processing.
