1 The Perquimana Ind: -a will play a 40-garae schedule in the Albemarle League, which opens next Monday, June 7, According to report and sched ule released last week by A. W.

Economy Achieves $209 Billion Payroll, Key To Saving And Spending Records The American economy has achiev ed a $200 billion annual payroll. This sum is four times the equiva lent payroll figure at the beginning of World War lit Payroll has, therefore, shown a greater rate of growth for .the 1940-53 period as a whole than those of the more-publicized economic measuring rods such as national in come or gross national product. It is bigger than the national income in -any year prior to 1948. Here is dramatic evidence of the ex traordinary expansion of the people's purchasing power over the last dec ade. Notwithstanding the rise in tax es, it is the principal basis of the per sonal spending, and .saving 'records that have been rolled up in the pe riod, and of the greatly increased pro testion that the average family now enjoys in life insurance and other forms of thrift In an industralized and mass consumption society such as ours, payroll is the heart, of income for the overwhelming majority of in dividuals and, hence, of the people's spending power. Private 83 of Total With all the growth in Government at the Federal, State nd local levels, the private sector of the economy is still the predominant source of pay roll and individual earning power, as it has been in the past. U. S. Depart ment of Commerce figures show that the wage and salary bill in private in dustry came to an aggregate of $164 Ul.llVUO 111 VI uu yvi vcu ui uic $197.6 billion payroll in the entire economy last year. The balance of $33 billions was Government payroll Federal, State and local combined. Of the latter to tal, some $10 billions was military. While up substantially over recent years in response to the trend of in ternational events, the current mili tary payroll is only about half of the comparable total in the peak World War II years of 1944 and 1945. The $200 billion annual payroll rate was actually exceeded in the third quarter of last year, according to sea sonably adjusted figures of the De partment of Commerce. It is interest ing to note that the payroll figure went up for a while even after total industrial production had reached its peak and began to slip. Since the July-September quarter, ; aggregate payroll has declined about $6 billions at an annual rate to a yearly figure of just under $195 billions in February, the latest data available. This repre sents a decline of 3 per cent from the high, which- compares with a drop of 10 per cent in. industrial production from the 1953 peak to the present, Big Growth in Supplements Nor is payroll the entire compen sation which goes to the nation's working population out of the pro duction of the economy. A large and growing additional sum is being set aside by employers for the benefit of employees every year under a classi fication called Supplements to Wages and Salaries in the national income statistics. These supplements added up to a record high of approximately $10 bil lions in 1953, or more than four and one-half times the equivalent figure in 1940. They have, therefore, shown a greater rate of growth than total pay roll in the 1940-53 period. The biggest single item in these supplements comes under employer contributions to private pension and welfare funds, including group life in surance and accident and health pro tection plans. These contributions amounted to over $3.4 billions in 1952, the latest year for which detailed fig urea are available. Second in size is the aggregate amount paid into the Social Security Fund for worker re tirement This came to $1.8 billions in 1952. All in all, $6.5 billions of to tal supplements, or about two-thirds of the entire amount represent pay ments of employers (including Gov ernment) Into retirement systems for their employees. : Ratio to National Income One of the significant aspects of the overall payroll figures and their growth pattern is that, over the long view, they have tended to represent an Increasing proportion of national income. : In 1929, for example, the na- ' tion's total-wage and salary bill came such.

In 1940 total wages and salaries were equal to 61 per cent of national income, and the addition of supple ments brought the proportion to 63.7 per cent The comparable proportion for wages and salaries in 1953 was 64.2 per cent and with supplements it came to 67.5 per cent, or more than two-thirds of national income for last year. Comparable proportions in re cent years are found only in 1945. 1 By contrast income of proprietors (business, professional and farm) was the equivalent of less than 13 per cent of national income in. 1953 as against 8 per cent fit 1929, , And the return on invested savings '(dividends, rents and interest income) added up to the equivalent of only 10.6 per cent of national income last -year, less than half of the 1929 proportion." ' ' : SHttzpstlit The new State Highway Commis sion maps which have been' "revised to 1954 are off the press and ready for distribution, according to Highway Chairman A. H. Graham. ; The maps which are free have been printed in black and white. There have been several changes since the last black and white highway maps were printed in 1951. The new map has a panel on the reverse side with detail sketches of eight of the largest Tar Heel cities showing the -streets over which US and NC primary high ways have been routed. Another pan el gives the size and weight laws of the State repardinsr trucks. Penalties ly spelled out There is a new illus trated panel on highway safety which explains the use of radar by the State Highway Patrol to apprehend speed ers, saturation ("On various Tar Heel highways, identified as particularly hazardous, dozens of State troopers are occasionally massed to conduct closely integrated patrols"), and un marked cars ("Not every North Caro lina patrol car is easily identified as held last Monday was Pattie Phillips Bennett oi Hertford.
