HET’TY COX Retirement Legislation Backed Congressman James T. Broyhill has introduced two bills designed to strengthen the private pension system and provide greater benefits for retired workers. Mr. Broyhill, 10th District Representative, noted that "more than 30 million work ers live with the promise of retirement income from one of the more than 34,000 pri vate pension plans. However, a majority of these workers may never receive the bene fits of these plans.’’ Broyhill continued, "The a- chievements of our private pension plans are a tribute to the innovative spirit of our free enterprise system, but there is still much that can be done to insure more uniform ity among pension plans. "One of the bills I have in troduced today would allow employees to withdraw their retiremen credits upon lea ving a job and reinvest that money in a new plan without being subject to income tax. This proposal is similar to existing tax laws permitting gains from house sales to be tax exempt if they are rein vested in a new home within a taxable year. Certainly we can apply this principle to the transfer of retirement cred its. This would be a step to ward "portability” of pension credits. This Is a long over due reform.” KARLA RUSSELL Gaston Grad Speaker Dr. BenEaglesFountain, Jr., President of the Department of Community Colleges of the North Caroliim State Board of Education, will address the graduating class of Gaston College at commencement ex ercises to be held on the Dal las campus Sunday afternoon, May 28, at 4:00 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Herman McEn- tyre K.M./B.C.

There are some important differences between the other candidates and Pat Taylor. The difference between just talking . . . and talking sense. The difference between a few months of easy campaign promises . . . and 17 years of experience and hard work. The difference between getting headlines . . . and getting results. The difference between just wanting to be governor . . . and knowing how to be governor. Those differences can be important to North Carolina during the next four years. Think about it. Experience . . . integrity . . . ability. It all adds up. Paid for by Taylor for Governor Committee.
