HUGE CROWD AT DEDICATION OF MARIAN CENTRAL SOCIAL SECURITY CALLS FOR REPORT ON DOMESTIC HELP A large number of McHenry area folks were among the estimated 2,500 people who attended the dedication of the new million dollar Marian Central Catholic high school, held last Sunday afternoon. Officiating at the dedication was His Excellency. Loras T. Lane. D. D., bishop of the Rockford diocese, who also was celebrant at the Pontifical High Mass which followed. Among the clergy present were most of the pastors of the Catholic churches in this com4 munity and also Rev. Eugene Baumhofer, former assistant pastor of St. Mary's church in McHenry and now superintendent of Marian Central. Members of the Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus formed an honor guard for Bishop Lane as he entered the large gymnasium, where an altar had been set up on the stage. Every available seat was taken and many were forced to stand up during the Mass. Following the service, a tour of the building was conducted by Marian students. However, because of the large crowd and the fact that many were unable to make the tour, a second open house was announced for Sunday, Dec. 20. The Waukegan social security office has reported that many housewives in our area are not reporting household help for social security purposes. "As little as $4 per week in cash earnings totals more than $50 a quarter and should be reported to the Director of Internal Revenue," Manager Bernard Barnett said. Mr. Barnett explained ' reporting is easier than many housewives think. Upon request, Internal Revenue Service mails a report form each calendar quarter as a reminder. The report has the form of an envelope. The housewife enters the worker's name, social security number and total cash earnings. She puts a check or money order in the pocket to cover the social security tax and mails the sealed envelope to the address already printed on it. The tax rate for 1959 is 2Va per cent for employee and 2 *<2 per cent for employer. This rate will increase to 3 per cent each on Jan. 1, 1960. No detailed bookkeeping is required. The fact that a household worker is also reported by another employer makes^pio difference in reporting responsibility. Proper reporting establishes social security credit for retirement, survivors, and disability insurance benefits for the household worker and her dependents.

READ THE WANT ADS VETS' CRAFT NOW ON DISPLAY AT LEGION HOME (Continued from page 1) the hospitalized vet receiving $20 or less per month government compensation, is allowed to select, without cost to him, gifts for members of his family. Auxiliary members wrap the gifts and the veteran encloses a card he has personally signed. The package is then wrapped for mailing and sent on its way, without any identification of the sponsoring organization attached, thus giving the veteran an opportunity to have done his own shopping and giving.
