The Consumer Price Index for September went up by only 0.2 percent, a tiny ripple com pared to the double digit infla tionary waves of the recent past. So far this year inflation has fal len to a 4.8 percent annual rate, matching 1976. But the Labor Department also reported Tuesday Amer icans’ spending power declined by 0.3 percent. The spending power — infla tion-adjusted earnings — are calculated from three statistics, the month’s inflation rate, the change in hourly pay and the length of the average work week. Hourly pay, held down by recessionary pressures, slipped by 0.1 percent in September while the length of the work week remained the same. The leaders of the Republi can and Democratic parties were quick to comment on the Sep tember inflation rate, in advance of the congressional elections Tuesday. “By a curious coincidence,” President Reagan said, “the last time we had that (4.8 percent) inflation rate was the last time there was a Republican adminis tration here,” referring to Presi dent Ford’s 1976 White House tenure. House Speaker Thomas “Tip” O’Neill responded with an equally partisan jibe, saying, “(President Herbert) Hoover could point to an inflation rate of zero in 1930 and a negative inflation rate of 2 percent by 1932,” during the Great De pression. This year’s recession-fueled cuts in tax revenues and in creased welfare costs swelled the g* federal deficit for fiscal 1982 to a7* record SI 10.7 billion, theTreas-;* ury Department said Tuesday, The report on the govern- “ ment’s money year ending Sept, j 30 showed the most red ink ever, v far beyond last year’s $57.9 bil- C lion and the previous high obg $66 billion set by the Ford admi- 7 nistration in 1976. The 1982 deficit was fueled > mostly by the recession, which'C held down economic growth,^ and with it tax revenues. wheelchair after suffering a diabetic coma and several strokes, did not speak. Wearing a black dress and fur stole, she looked straight ahead as Sen. Jesse Helms, R-N.G., held her hand and Reagan spoke. Smith’s sister, Helena Steene of Raleigh, thanked the presi- dent on Smith’s behalf, adding: “She is one of the greatest ladies 1 have ever known. She has al ways lived for her country.” Smith received the 209th presidential medal given since President Truman inaugurated the award. It is bestowed on those who contribute to national security, world peace or other endeavors. Since its inception, the Medal of Freedom has gone to such fi gures as Pope John XXIII, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Bob Hope. A recent reci pient was Reagan’s Middle East negotiator, Philip Habib.

The Judge of the County Court of Law is not an extension of the prosecutor’s office. It is a place for the citizens as a whole and as individuals to find justice. The person who sits as judge needs to be well versed, fair and experienced. Steve Smith is best qualified to hold this important office. We ask for your vote and support.
