Traditionally Hanover Trendy Area Chamber of Commerce 216 Nugget Building, Hanover, NH 03755 643-3115 Holiday Giving Is Slow So Far CONCORD (AP) As retailers report a record start to Christmas shopping, charities say they're not having the same kind of luck as donations are down so far this holiday season. "People are pretty generous but they need to know there are organizations out there that are doing things for people in need," said Jim Milliken, chairman of the Capital Region Food Program, which oversees the Holiday Food Basket Program. That need appears to be greater this year than last, Milliken said, Salvation Army and the Friends of Forgotten Children are reporting an increase in people seeking help. But the charities hope things will pick up. "Am I worried? Not to a great extent right now," said Maj.
Joseph Bassett of the Salvation Army. "If we get two weeks before Christmas, or a week before Christmas, and we're down considerably or we're down drastically, then I will begin to worry. Added Milliken: "I suspect if retail sales are up, that means that people do have some available cash, and they'll think of the charities at the same time." At the Salvation Army, kettle workers have collected about the same amount of money as they had last year at this time. However, last year's collections were down over previous holiday seasons, and there are five, fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas to collect money 66 We're hoping that people will be especially generous, because things are going to be more tough this year than they have been before. 99 Jim Milliken Chairman, Capital Region Food Program this year, Bassett said.
Brenda Bigelow, the Concord Salvation Army Thrift Store supervisor, said it's too early to tell how fund raising would go. "People's attitudes have very positive. But with money, hard to tell," she said. Last week about 1,000 letters were mailed out to Concord-area businesses and individuals requesting donations of money and food for the Holiday Food Basket Program. The program will send baskets to some 2,400 families this year, up from 1 2,200 last year, Milliken said.
"We're hoping that people will be especially generous, because things are going to be more tough this year than they have been before," he said. Changes to welfare at the state and federal level will mean more people will be turning to charities for help, he said.

27 Maple WRJ, VT Great Music. Easy to follow! Aerobic Workout and Strength Training 802-295-1174 CONCORD (AP) Skip Calley says -state customers routinely stop by his downtown smoke shop to take advantage of New Hampshire's low cigarette tax by buying up to 300 packs at time. With cigarettes up to a dollar a pack cheaper in New Hampshire than in Massachusetts, the bus fare, time and inconvenience of crossing the border for cigarettes pays off. Calley and other New Hampshire store owners fear they will lose those customers if lawmakers approve a proposed 20-cent-per-pack tax hike as a way to raise money for schools. "They're spending $400, $500 a trip, so I want to keep them coming," said Calley, owner of Captain's Pleasure tobacco shops in Manchester and Concord.
Rep. Channing Brown, R-Lebanon, says raising the cigarette tax will discourage people from an unhealthy, costly habit and help raise muchneeded money for state education. Ellen D. Brayman EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. Ellen D.
Brayman, 83, of 40 Irving, East Providence, died Thursday at her home. She was the wife of the late George E. Brayman. Born in Fall River, a daughter of the late Robert and Nancy (Eatough) Dixon, she had lived in Pawtucket, R.I., for most of her life before moving to East Providence five years ago. Before retiring, she was employed as a dietary worker for the Memorial Hospital in Pawtucket.
She volunteered at the hospital after her retirement. Mrs. Brayman was a member of the First Baptist Church, Pawtucket, where she was a member of the retired fellowship and the Acacia Club. She served on the music and finance committees and taught Sunday school. She is survived by a son, the Rev.
G. Edward Brayman Jr. of Etna; two granddaughters and three nieces. A service of remembrance 'and thanksgiving will be held today at 1 p.m. in the First Baptist Church, 91 Cottage Pawtucket.
Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory to the memorial fund of the First Baptist Church would be appreciated. Arrangements are by D. W. Bellows Son, Pawtucket.
Wilfred James Vachon LEBANON Wilfred James Vachon, 72, of Cooper Street, Lebanon died Saturday Veterans Affairs hospital in White. River Junction. He was born on Feb. 13, 1924, in Lakeport, N.H., a son of Ernest Vachon and Mary Fournier. He attended Lyme Center schools and came to Lebanon in 1938.
He worked at area lumber camps, the Densmore Brick Co, and the Enfield Box Co. until enlisting in the Army during World War II. Following discharge at the rank of sergeant in 1946, he was married to Louise May Carr and they moved to Lebanon. They had lived there for the past 50 years. And despite organized opposition from the state's grocery and convenience store owners, he doubts his proposed increase would drive anyone out of business.
"It's too bad they let their consciences be ruled by a few said Brown, chairman of the House Finance Committee. "But serving on Finance, it doesn't take long to see there is a serious revenue shortage in this state." At 25 cents per pack, New Hampshire has the lowest cigarette tax in New England. Massachusetts charges 76 cents, Vermont 44 cents. Maine, at 37 cents, is expected to increase its rate this year. Even if New Hampshire raised its per-pack tax to 45 cents, as Brown proposes, cigarettes here would still be cheaper because there is no additional sales tax.
Effective Friday, cigarette taxes in most of Canada went up $1.04 a car-. ton, giving Canadians in bordering provinces more incentive to travel to Obituaries He was employed for 20 years as an oil burner technician at Pete Rogers Oil Service in Lebanon, retiring in 1989.

Survivors include his wife of Lebanon; three daughters, Susan Hammond of Enfield, Sandra Gould of Wolfeboro and Tina LaPan of Plainfield; a sister, Mildred Carbono of Penacook, N.H.; four grandchildren, four great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

She was born on Feb. 23, 1920, to Carl Smith and Ida Bressett in Hanover. She attended school in Lyme, Hanover and Enfield and went to work at young age at the Baltic Woolen Mill la in Enfield.

A 20-cent increase here, with a corresponding rise in cigar and smokeless tobacco taxes, would raise an estimated $36 million to $40 million a year. Jeanne Shaheen said she will support a cigarette tax increase if the money helps pay for special education and statewide kindergarten.
She has not specified what she thinks the increase should be. Several store owners said they would support a lesser amount, in the 10-cents-per-pack range, but they are skeptical the money would offset what they pay in property taxes for education. "They can say it's going for the schools, but all they're doing is creating an illusion to make us feel good," said Peggy Carbee, a clerk at the Laconia Spa. "I've been around long enough to know that once the money gets in there, it has a way of going to other things." Enfield today from 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral services will be held at the funeral home tomorrow at 2 p.m., with the Rev.
Cecelia Engelhardt officiating. Burial will be in the spring in the Oak Grove Cemetery in Enfield. Arrangements are by the Ricker Funeral Home, 56 School Street, Lebanon.
