The monument to Lloyd
Parlon was purchased with
funds raised by the Bessemer
City Police Department. The
project was planned as a
memorial to the late
policeman Parton. But should
any Bessemer City policeman
be killed while serving on
active duly at a later dale, his
name is to be placed on the
monument with that of Par
Ion’s.
Currently, bids are being
made on having a cement
walkway leading around the
monument.

This meeting will be ol in
terest to all pei-sons 18 years ol
age and older. The purpose of
the program is to create an ■
awareness on the part of
property owners of the
problems associated with
ti a nsferriiig property between
generations. Basic in-
forination about the concepts
ol (>dale planning, and the
lea.sons for developing estate
plans will be presented.
County Extension Chair
man, H.W. Dameron states
that many property owners in
die county have given little
diought to dispostioii of their
l*o(»rty at death, and they
are unaware of the hardship
diat will be thrust upon the
surviving family members by
lack of planning.
There are many ways of
IM'Ovidiiig for the transfer of
ix-operty to heirs that will
assure the property owner of
the desired division of
ixoperty, provde security for
survivors, and minimize (ieath
taxes.
Some of the question to be
answered at this meeting are:
1) What happens to my
property if 1 do no estate
planning?
2) Why make a will?
3) What happens to jointly-
owned property if one owner
dies?
4) How can I minimize the
estate and inheritance taxes?
5) What happens if I give my
pi'operty away?
6) Can 1 disinherit a child?
7) What are some financial
problems of a surviving
spouse?
8) What do women need to
know about estate planning?
9) How can I provide for the
continuation of my business
after my death?
10) _Why might there be a
need for insurance in aii
estate?
Ill How much tax will come
out of my estate if I die?
12) How can I keep my heirs
from wasting iiiy property?
Estate planning is an iii-
Nolved process. But the worst
mistake a property owner can
make is to assume that it
doesn’t matter - and do
nothing!

meeting is a good fiist step.
A memorial monument has
been erected in the downtown
park that is to be a memorial
to Bessemer City policemen
killed in the line of. duty.
The first name to be placed
on the monument is that of the
late policeman Lloyd Parton
who was shot and killed while
serving on active police duly.
’Die monument is placed to
the east side of the hemlock
tree in the park. Recently, a

As the gasoline crunch gets more frustrat
ing, there'll be questions about the impact
of industries such as ours on the nation's
oil resources.
That's natural. The scarcenen of oil and
iu by-products pinches where we work, how
we heat, how we drive, and where we drive.
So a little explanation is in order:

Industry in general is the country's
largest user of oil, accounting for 42% of
total end-use consumption. All U. S. man
made fibers take only a 1% bite out of the
total oil consumption while producing 70%
of all the fiben used in American business
and industry.
Raw materials for man-made fibers ac
count for only one third of one percent
of the total U. S. petroleum consumption.
That's the equivalent of 95,000 barlel*''>f
crude oil per day. The rest of the one per
cent involves the energy required to process
those ingredients into fibers.
To put this in perspective, the director
of the U. S. Office of Emergency Pre-
paredneu last year told a Senate committee
in Washington that, "Auto emission stan
dards probably cost us 300,000 barrels a
day now."
The nation's man-made fibers business
is vast in terms of jobs, product output and
impact in almost every conceivable aspect
of everyday life. But it's Just a little fellow
