Rogers patroled in Johnston County. Rogers retires from patrol by Veronica Cogdell Green Smithfield Herald Retiring State Trooper Charlie Rogers sets the standard for high way patrolmen, his peers say. “Any adjective you can find that fits a good person is Charlie Rogers," says retired Trooper Bill Sykes of Selma, who trained Trooper Rogers. “He is the model that all troopers should follow. But that’s not just for troopers, but for everyone.” Trooper Clark Johnson, who workedwithTrooperRogersfor 13 years, agrees. “I’ve never heard anyone bad-mouth him,’’ he says. “He’s been the same the whole time I’ve known him. He’s got a good combination of what it takes to be a trooper.” Rogers retired December 31, ending a 28-year stint with the N.C. Highway Patrol. The Hoke County native spent most of those years on patrol in Johnston County. He is the son of William Rogers and Gladys Rogers, both of Raeford. He began his career on April 1, 1968 and stayed until 1970, when he transferred to Wilson County. He came back to Johnston in 1982. “I came back after my children got out of school because I liked living in the Kenly area,” the 52- year-old says. “I transferred (to Wil son) in the beginning because that’s where my wife worked and I didn’t want her to commute everyday.” PANDURE'S BULLDOZER SERVICE “No Job Too Small” • Aoeage Clearing * Hauling • Residential Lots • Charolais Cattle • Hay for Sale • Fill Dirt and Top Soil For Sale JohnR Pandure Owner, Operator Raeford, N.C. 910-875-1794 Trade In Your Trailer For A Custom Built Home lil “L.

Sound impossible? It may be easier than you think. To get you started, the North Carolina Association of CPAs provides these ways to boost your savings — and the return on your savings — in 1997 and in years to come. 1 )Pare down your debt. Unless you can find an investment with an after tax return that’s higher than what you’re paying on yourdebt (and that’s not likely), reducing your debt is the first step toward smart saving. 2) Track yourspending. If you don't have a clue about where your money goes, try monitoring your spending for a few months. Then look for ways to cut back spending and increase your savings. 3) Pay yourself first. As long as your debts are under control, put a pre-determined amount away in a sav- ingsplan each month before you make big-ticket purchases. 4) Make it automatic. Authorize your bank to transfer a set amount each month from your checking ac count to a savings account, mutual fund or another investment vehicle. 5) Maximize your 401(k) contri bution. Remember that every dollar you invest in this qualified retirement plan reduces your gross income by the same amount. 6) Save the small stuff. Rather than cashing small checks you receive for dividend payments, insurance reim bursement, birthday gifts, and the like, deposit them in your savings account. 7) Bank “extra” checks. If you get paid biweekly, two months out of the year you’ll get three instead of the usual two paychecks. Save those two checks and you’ll boost your savings significantly. 8) Revise your W-4 form. If you got a large tax refund last year, reduce your withholding for 1997. You’ll get a bigger paycheck and you can save or invest the extra cash so that you — and not Uncle Sam — earns interest on your money. 9) Save your raise. Resolve to save the extra money you get in your pay- check after you’ve gotten a raise. Do the same with any bonuses you re ceive and you ’ll really come out ahead. 10) Make it painless. If your ad justable rate mortgage adjusts down ward, plan to save — not spend — your monthly windfall. 11) Reach for higher yields. To compete with money market mutual funds, some banks offer penalty-free Certificates of Deposit (CDs) — but watch out for hidden charges. 12) Put found money away. If you’re earning more than the Social Security withholding cap on payroll taxes, your Social Security deduction will stop before year-end. Take the portion of your salary that you previ ously turned over to the government and put it toward your personal retire ment savings.
