The speech, ground breaking cere monies and the estate planning seminar are open to the public. Congresiman Janies T. Broyhill (R-N. C.) today joined in spon- .coring a national health insur ance bill in t-ie House of Repre sentatives. The plan, known as ‘Modiored- it,“ would provide full Federal payment of health insui-anee premiums for low-income lami- lies. Under the bill. Federal in come lax credits would be al lowed for pant (jf the cost of pri vate health insurance. Larger tax cre<Hts would be i>rovid(*d lor families wulh low and moderate internes. In addition, special as sistance would be given all fam ilies suffering catastrophic ill nesses. “ I have felt for > me time that the spiraling cost ol medical care •requires some typt* of assistance,” Representative Broyhill stated. "This propijsal would ensure that all families could r(.*cei'Ve FVderal help to meet the cost of a basic health insurance plan, a'ceording to family income and size.” This assistance would take the form of certific'ate.s issued by the F\'d- oral government to be pn'sr'nted to health insurance campaniles and a credit against income lax, Broyhill explained. Congressman iBroyhill stated that caitastrophic illnesse.s under the plan would bo defined ac cording to family income and size. "This is particularly import- i ant,” Broyhill declared, “since we I know of instances whore oni* pro I longed illness has wiped out the I resources cf a family and mort gaged their income for years to , come.” *T feel this proposal offers a sound balance in providing Fed eral assistance for a basic liealHii care plan couph’d with full pay ment for G catastrophic illness plan, according to family size and income,” Broyhill stated. "While many families can pro vide financially for basic heaRb care, very few can absorb the cost of a prolonged, expensive ill nc*ss. ’T recognize that this bill may not be the final answer to th« I problem. However, it provides a I good beginning for the Congres : sional action. It retains the c(ai- , cept of private medical iiisur- ! ance without creating the kind , of bureaucratic nightmare that ! is part of some other proposals where the Federal governmen't would assume virtually full con trol cf the nation’s health care processes.” Don't Be Shy About Age RALEIIGH — Income tax time is no time to be shy about youi age. For there are benefits that apply pnirticularly to the 65-and- over group, Isabelle Buckley, ex tension si^eciaJist in aging, North Carolina State University, notes. For example, a .single person over 65 will not have to file a fedt'ral int-omo tax return unl(*ss Ills income exceeded $2,300. In the past, this has be<‘n $1,200, so there was quite a jump in the maAPmum income allowe<I to not 'pay taxes. Married couples, age 65. have benefits loo. Tho.se planning a joint return don’t have to file a federal report unlt'^ their com bined income wa.s $3,.500, if both are over 65. If one is 65 and the spouse lis younger, the income ceiling is $2,900. If your income is above these levels you imusl file a return. j Don’t ft>rg(R, also, that the monthly payments for .suppl(*^men- tary medical insurance under Medicare are diviuctiblo, if you ; itemize your deductions. If you Iiave kept track of all your ex ponsi's for medical care and iiniss. nQis Many social security beneficiar ies who were paid monthly ben efits during 1970 are required tc file an annual report with the Social SeeurUy Administration by .April 15. The report is required only under certain circumstances. There are many beneficiaries who need not file the report. Here is the rule to follow. If you received any benefit checks during the year, were under age 72 in any month and had earn- I ings from work which amounted I to more than 1680 dollars, the re port must be filed. I drugs during 1970. you’ll bo able to deduct tliem. as always. If j'ou pro going tv) have some- one else fill our your tax forms, be sure he is certifiovi, qualified to do the job. A'ou are rosponsi- ; ble for any mLstakes the prepar er makes. I Refuse to sign the form before it is filled out, or when it is done in pencil. Also, find out beforehand how much it is going to cost you to have your tax forms prepared. The number of benefit checks received during the year Is im- materi-al, and it makes no diif- ference when you started draw ing boneifits. If you worked and earned over 1680 dolla-ns from January 1 through Deceanber 31, the report is required. Do Rose said that the gains arc particularly significant bec-ause they ran counter to the geni’ral downward trend in the industry last year. Ground breaking for the Col lege and Continuing Education Cent(*r, located on the west cam pus, will be held at 11:45 a.m. and the estate planning seminar will bo held in the auditorium of Jones Hall at 2 p.m. The results were achieved de spite an unusually slow but pro- fitable fourth quarter, which \v?us affected by the* General Motors .strike and the extended economic slowdown.

' "An important factor in our growth is production fl(*xibility, which permits us to maki* an un usually broad product mix,” he continual. "We were able to manufacture and ship an extensive line of economy mixiels, which are most in dem'und in a .soft economy, while at the same itime, produce other brands and introduce a line of now T(*xas-built 16-foot-wide units that accounted for more than $1.(X)0,(KXJ in sales in eight j months.” ^ He noted that the gri'atcr avail-' ability of funds, together with a strengthening of con.sumi'r confi dence, would probably result in' a rise in sali's of medium and . higher priced mobile homes later ^ thus year.

The Veterans Coiner EDITOR’S NOTT^; Below are authoritativ'e answers by the Veterans Administration t o some of the many current ques tions from former servicemen and their families. Further in formation on veterans benefits may be obtained at any VA office or your local .service or ganization repre.sentative. Q—I wish to apply for a cer tificate of eligibility for a GI loan, but I lost my DD-214, Arm ed Foict's Report of Transfer oi Discharge. What should I do? A—The VA will accept a Ic'gi- ble copy of an original discharge or release from active duty. If a copy is not available, apply at any VA 0'ffic‘e for an application form for a replacemenit. Q—When will I receive my dividend check on my GI insur ance? A—If all premiums due have I been received, checks are mailed by the policy anniversary date, and should be received shortly thereafter. Q—Can a veteran go to any school, or pursue any education al program he desires? A—Yes, if the course or pro gram leads to a recognized edu cational, vocational or profession al objective, and is approved by a state approving agency. METHODIST TOPIC "The Spirit of Lent” will be •t!io sernirm topic of Rev. N. C. Bush at Sunday morning wor ship st'rvkes at 11 o’’::lcfck art Grace Methodist church. Income you might receive from stocks, bonds, p(*nsions, dividends, renUil income, etc., should not be included in the 1680 dollar a- mount. It should be remembered that this “work test” applies to child beneficiaries as well as a- dult beneificiaries. If you are drawing benefits on behalf of a child then you are responsible for filing the report, if the chud worked and earned over $1680 during the year. Many parents drawing benefits for children oft en overlook this requirement. If you think that this requirement might apply to you, and you have questions ahourt it, contact your nearest social security office for an explanation. j These new telephones represent , a growth of 7.3 percent during Hie year 1969. This is the high- ! (\st growth rate experienced in 13 ‘ years since 1956. TaxFomi Shonld Include Address Label GREENSBORO — Tax practi tioners and other preparers of tax returns should ask their clients ifor the federal income tax forma packaige they received in the mail and’ use the pre-ad- dressed label it carried to as sure faster and more accuate pocessing, J. E. Wall, 'District Director oif Internal Revenue for ■North Carolina, said today. The label, if peeled off the front of the tax package and placed in the box art the top. of rthe .1040 Form, will prevent er rors in name and Social Security numbers that held up refunds for numerous taxpayers in North Carolina last year, Wall said. 'If there are errors on the la- bel, they should be corrected in ink right on the label, the Dir ector said. If the return is filed before A pril 1, and the blue name label is ustxl, the rch’Tn can usually b? processed and any refund is sued in five to oix -tweks. Those filed after April may take long er. LUTHERAN TOPIC “In What Way Is Christ My Saviour” will be rthe sermon topic of Rev. Charles Easley at Sunday morning worship serv ices at .11 o'clock at St. MarttUi- ow’s Lutheran church. 0 SERMON TOPIC Dr. Paul Ausicy will use the ^rmon topic, "The Good News Story”, at Sunday morning wor ship services at 11 o’clock at First Presbyterian church. THE QUESTIONING OF A PRESIDENT 'Reading between ■th(> line.-! of much of .the commentary on the Presi(lent’.s State of the Union ad dress, y.'/u find a syllogism that runs more or less like this: 1. No doubt there Ls a great deal of merit in the Priv-iidenl’s proposals on welfare, rev^'nue- s.haring and Government reorga nization. 2. Congress will refuse 'to pass most of them. 3. Therefore Mr. Nixon is play ing politics again. This type of reaction to Mr. Nixon is by now entirely familiar. Just before this latest example, in fact, John Osborne of the New Republic had written a column asking himself questions like: Why do I instinctively impugn Hie President’s mr)4ives even when I like his actions? Why. when the President like everyone el.se acts from a mixture of good motives and bad. have the gOvXl been sc persistently ignored? Why, Mr. 0.<bo.ne continui'd, do my own writing'; and attitudes toward Mr. .Nixon (li.splay such “sour and OPEN GATE GARDEN CLUB Members of the Open Gate Garden club will meet Wednc.s- day afternoon at 3:30 p-m. art the home of Mrs. A. W. Kin caid. Mrs. John C. Reavls will be ?o-ho9tess for the meeting. persistent disbelief”? Mr. Osborne, if we read him right, concludes that this too is .Mr. Nixon’s fault, that a decenit man .simply cannot trust a Presi dent who one minute does some- thing good and .the next minute nominates Hanold Carfiwell to tIu* Supreme Court or plays a big part in the 1970 Republican cam- jiaign. And the particulars aside, tlKve i.s some truth here. Mr. Nix on and his Administration have been .subj(H-t to shifts of posture and rhetoric so abrupt as to in vite suspici-on. Still, it is neither a full nor ultimately charitable answer to say, I am unfair to Mr. Nixon be cause he forces me to be. For our part, we suspect the deepest ■nxrts of (the distru-st of Mr, Nixon lie in his lack of deference to the best people—the highly edu- eated, morally concerned and cul turally dominant cla.ss that seems to feel its views and persons 'are entitled to special weight over and abavo those of Southerners, hardliats or other segments of a suposcxlly democratic society. This class, especially of late, is impatient with the unitJdiness of dtxmocnirtic politics. President Nix on may come up with proposals he thinks are meritorious enough to win some political points. Con gress thinks its political purposes would be better served by reject ing them. It's hard to say rthe ul timate decision will be reached by any rational process, but some how the whole system ihas over the years served the Republic tolerably well. It has withstood the test of history far better than other systems that once looked more rational and tidy. The upshort is, though, that nearly everyone on both sides of every issue is ‘'playing politics.” Perhaps it's too much to ask Che highly educated and morally oon- cernod to ponder why they level Chis insinuation 'at some playere and not others. But we really don’t think it’s too much to ask that they address issues less on the motives of the protagonists and more on the merits of the proposals. .Ml anne their Loni and B^h tain.

Now your U.S. Savings Bonds pay the highest interest in history: a full 5 per cent when held to maturity of 5 years and 10 months, (4% the first year; 5.20% thereafter to maturity.) Previously, these Bonds earned you only 4^/4% if you held them for seven years. The new interest began June 1, 1969. So all of the Bonds you own, no matter when you bought tliem, have been collecting higher interest since tliat time. Tliose Bonds are still replaced if lost, stolen or burned. You can still buy tliem through Payroll Savings or the Bond-a-Month ( plan. Regardless of your other invest* ments, can you think of any easier, better, or safer way to build a nest egg for yourself? It’s nice to know that you are doing a little something for Uncle Sam, too. The $52 billion in U.S. Savings Bonds now outstanding in the hands of millions of Americans go a long way toward keeping your country financially strong. There never was a better time th< to take stock in America. There’s a man at the place where you work who can start you on the Payroll Sav ings Plan right now. Bonds are safe. If lost, stolen, or destroyed, we replace them. When needed, they can be cashed at your bank. Tax may be deferred ontil redemption. And always remember. Bonds are a proud way to save. Take stock in America. With hiaher oayina U.S.Savings Bonds.
