DAVID T. DAVIS IN
GERMANY GETS BOOST
STUTTGART, GERMANY (AH
TNC) — Specialist Five David T.
Davis, 31, whose wife, Metta, and
parents, Mr. and Mrs. David C.
Davis, live on Route 2, Belhaven,
recently received a monthly in
crease in pay under the Army's pro
ficiency pay system while assign
ed to the 87th Ordnance Battalion’s
504th Company in Germany.
The proficiency pay system is de
signed to recognize Army per
sonnel who display special profi
ciency in the performance of criti
cal specialties and to serve as an
incentive to attract and retain high
ly-qualified personnel in the Army.
Specialist Davis, an automotive
mechanic in the company in Stutt
gart, entered the Army in 1949 and
arrived overseas on this tour of
duty last June.
NEW SCEDULE OF BOAT
TAXES IS ANNOUNCED
RALEIGH, Dec. All boats used
primarily for commercial fishing
in North Carolina waters are af
fected under the new tax schedule
which goes into effect January 1,
the Department of Conservation and
Development has announced.
Under the new schedule as enact
ed by the 1961 General Assembly,
taxes must be paid annually by
owners of commercial fishing boats
and by owners and operators of
such other type craft as trawl
boats, dredge boats, motorboats,
and haul boats using commercial
fishing equipment.
Another 1961 legislative act pro
vides that a commercial fishing
boat, which has been previously
licensed under the North Carolina
motorboat law and which has also
been granted a commercial fishing
license by the Department of Con
servation and Development to op
erate in State-controlled waters,
may have its registration renewed
without additional cost after the
owner has submitted proof to the
Wildlife Resources Commission that
his commercial fishing license has
been paid for the year in which it
is being used. This eliminates, the
Department said, a so-called double
taxation which had long concerned
commercial fishermen in this State.
Following is the new schedule of
taxes on boats used primarily for
commercial fishing in State-con
trolled waters:
(1) A tax of $1 each on boats
and skiffs without motors of any
type up to and including 18 feet
in overall length.
(2) A tax of $3 each on motor
boats up to and including 18 feet
in overall length.
(3) A tax of 50 cents per foot of
overall length on boats having an
excess of 18 feet and up to and in
cluding 26 feet.
(4) A tax of 75 cents per foot of
overall length on boats having an
overall length in excess of 26 xeet.
All commercial fishing license
taxes are payable to the Division
of Commercial Fisheries, Depart
ment of C&D, Morehead City, N.C.
ALL EARNINGS SHOULD
BE REPORTED FOR CREDIT
Most employers express sincere
pride in the part they play in pro
viding social security protection for
their employees. They recognize the
importance of keeping accurate re
cords of their employees’ earnings
and the amount of social security
taxes they withhold. They under
stand too that timely reports for
each employee must be filed with
the Director of Internal Revenue
at the end of each calendar quar
ter.
Not all types of work were cov
ered under the social security law
in 1937. For this reason, social
security reporting is relatively
new to some employers. For ex
ample, domestic workers were not
covered under social security until
1951. Most agricultural workers al
so were not covered until 1955. Not
all domestic and agricultural em
ployers are, therefore, aware of
their responsibilities.
The requirements are very spec
ific: All domestic work must be re
ported if domestics are paid SSO
cash or more (by the same em
ployer) in a calendar quarter re
gardless of the number of days on
which the employee worked in that
quarter. All work done on a farm
for which the worker is paid $l5O
or more in cash in a year is cover
ed. The farm worker is also cover
ed if he works 20 or more days (for
the same employer) during a year
for cash wages figured on a time
basis.
The accuracy of employers’ re
ports cannot be overemphasized.
The amount of social security bene
fits is directly related to the per
iod of employment and the amount
of earnings credited to each
account. If certain employers fail
to report their employees’ earn
ings or report only part of their
earnings, it is impossible for the
Social Security Administration to
arrive at the true benefit payable.
No report could mean no benefits,
while incomplete reporting may
mean only partial benefits.
t If you employ a domestic or an
agricultural worker and are not
receiving the forms for making the
tax reports, ask at your local social
security office or your Internal
Revenue Service Office.
