We | want to especially thank the staff of Kings Mountain Hospital, Dr. Nara, and friends and neighbors. It's Easier To To Settle Minor Traffic Violations Are you one of the many thou- sands of Tar Heels who want to settle the account with as little has- sle as possible when cited to court for a comparatively minor traffic violation? If so, a new feature in the paper- work that accompanies the ticket may make that task a little easier. And in the process, North Carolina's court system may be re- lieved of some unnecessary con- gestion and confusion which ham- per their operations. For a wide range of traffic viola- tions and other relatively minor of- fenses and infractions, people are not arrested but are cited by a po- lice officer to appear in court. Those wishing to plead guilty do not have to appear in court, but may pay their fines by mail or in person prior to their court date. Many who plead guilty fail to take advantage of these convenient options. John Kennedy, Wake County Superior Court Clerk, recently sug- gested that minor revisions in the citation paperwork may encourage people to mail in their fines. His suggestion: a citation which includes specific instructions stressing these options, all on the back of an envelope addressed to the Clerk of Superior Court. Instructions are also provided for those who must appear in court, People are instructed to proceed directly to the second floor court- rooms, a move which should re- lieve the pre-court congestion in the Clerk's office every morning. The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC), which manages the state's court system, worked with Mr, Kennedy in fashioning the mail-in-plan and has put it into ef- fect in the city of Raleigh on a test basis. At the end of October, AOC of- ficials will evaluate the plan's ef- fect on Wake County court dock- ets, If it works as expected, reducing the number of cases that have to be docketed and saving a considerable amount of time for many defendants as wells as court employees, the plan could be ex- tended to other jurisdictions. Clerk Kennedy said his office has a "major problem with defen- dants being able to understand their options” after receiving citations. "Many have trouble locating their courtrooms," he added. Hundreds of thousands of cita- tions to court are issued across the state each year. In Wake County alone in the last fiscal year, people , were charged and cited in 38,508 motor vehicle cases, 34,842 infrac- tion cases and 35,828 non-motor vehicle cases, a total of 109,178. 'Notch' Convention Slated A delegation of "Notch Babies" headed by J. D. Champion will be among the hundreds from North Carolina at a state Notch conven- tion Thursday, Aug. 16, at 1 p.m. at Lexington Senior High School. Champion encourages Kings Mountain area "Notch Babies," those residents born between 1917- 1926 to board a bus at TG&Y and talk to Senator Terry Sanford and other key legislators attending the convention. Cost of the round-trip bus trip is $9. Call Champion at 487-6510 for a reservation. Two Cleveland County legisla- tors, Rep. Edith Lutz of Polkville and Dr. Jack Hunt of Lattimore, co-sponsored House Resolution 2411 on the Notch issue. which passed the N. C, House July 26. That bill stated that a technical flaw in the amended Social Security Act of 1972 overcompen- sated people who retired after 1972 and that Congress corrected its er- ror by amending the Social Security Act in 1977 to bring bene- fits back to historical levels and phased in the reduction over five years, affecting individuals born between 1917 and 1921, called the Notch years. The bill says the phase-in period had not provided a smooth transi- tion but had resulted in "Notch Babies" receiving as much as $3,000 per year less in benefits than people who have similar work histories but were born in 1916. The bill "urges Congress to pass legislation to ensure equitable dis- tribution of Social Security bene- fits paid to those born between 1917 and 1921 and urges President Bush to sign this legislation so that the Social Security system will once again provide equal retire- ment benefits to all deserving indi- viduals."
