North Carolina workers face pay shock under new retirement plan
CAPITAL SHORTS Raleigh August 7 State employees favor the retirement and pension system set up by the 1941 General Assembly but their last paychecks carried lower net amounts. A $100 check on the 25th showed $96 after retirement contributions, matched by the state later. The deduction, though reducing take home pay, will benefit workers long term. The heat wave limited recreation and boosted meeting attendance at the Nag’s Head superintendent convention. A Labor Institute program in Charlotte features Dr. Ralph W McDonald and speakers on Farmers and Labor in National Defense with Harry B. Caldwell and Forrest H. Shuford. The School Commission reports only 34 of 170 local budgets for 1941‑42, prioritizing review this month. Secretary at Yelton absent due to his mother’s illness. Thad Eure, Charlie Johnson, and J H Clark inspected Walter M. Stanaland’s Brunswick County lands to decide any due payment.
