I960 1 T8E McHENRY PLAINDEALER Pag* Fifteen BUICKS NEW LfGHTWEIOHT SPECIAL Si Big car comfort and styling are corribined with the economy of the small car in Buick's new lightweight Special four-door jfedan, powered by the first American aluminum V-8 engine in the automobile industry. The Special is mounted on a 112-inch wheelbase, is 188 inches long and weighs only 2,700 pounds, some 1,600 pounds lighter than conventional-size Buicks. Its high compression V-8 engine develops 155 horsepower, giving it outstanding performance comparable to the bigger models in the Buick line. The Special comes in two body styles, a four-door sedanj arid a four-door wagon, with a deluxe version offered in each. A new dual-path turbine drive transmission is offered as optional equipment, along with power steering, and air-conditioning. *£tors* CiovZ?*'*- '"S//C€S LANDOWNERS IN ILLINOIS PAY RECORD TAXES Memory la Place] Of Sight %IOHTLESS SINCE (9&, FBI MANEMORYGREGG HAS TRAINED HlS MEMORY SO , WELL THAT HE HAS AT HIS w.

N. G. P. Krausz says Illinois landowners paid out $118.7 million, or 14 percent of their net income. The 1959 real estate tax take was 3.7 percent above that of 1958 and about four times as much as that of 1940. The national increase from 1958 to 1959, however, averaged 8 percent. Illinois topped all other cornbelt states in tax levy per acre. While Illinois landowners paid $3.93 an acre, other | corn-belt landowners averaged only $2 an acre. The national average is $1.11. Four northeastern states had higher per acre taxes than Illinois. High value of Illinois land does not account entirely for the higher taxes. When Krausz computed the taxes on the basis of $100 value, Illinois tax remained the highest in the corn belt and 45 percent above the U.S. average. Public schools take the largest portions .of real estate tax revenues, Krausz . points out. Rising enrollment creates demands for nfew schools, additional staff and greater operating revenues. More increases in real property taxes can be expected as long as the tax structure remains basically the same, he concludes. LAST 3 DAYS Thurs., Fri. & Sat., October 6-7-8 of MILLSTREAM y, TERRIFIC BARGAINS M Every Department 315 W. Elm St. Jewel Shopping Plaza McHenry Hie Drivers Seat In a very short time, little goblins and ghosts will romp through the darkness in our traditional Halloween celebration. Unfortunately, the V e r y darkness that lends mystery and enchantment to Halloween escapades can also set the scene for tragedy. Their vision limited by false faces and masks and their alertness tempered by their concentration on pranks, children are Quite apt to dart unthinkingly into the paths of automobiles whose drivers cannot clearly see the costumed sprites in the darkness. Fortunately, easily obtainable reflective liquid or tape can serve the double purpose of making youngsters brightly visible in headlight beams while perking up the masquerade costumes. , A silver-toned liquid reflective coating, available at hardware, paint, auto accessory, or sporting goods stores, can be used to apply designs to little witches' capes, jack-o-lanterns, broomsticks, masks or hats. It can/outline the bones of a skeletal costume, both front and baqk, or point up belts, gloves or^other articles of disguise. j An alternate to the reflective liquid is a red or white reflective tape that will hold overnight on fabrics, shoes, hats, masks and "trick-ortreat" bags. It can be cut into Various decorative designs to pep, up ^ Halloween costume with stars, stripes or polka dots, as well as being applied in spiral designs. Both reflective liquid and tape can be seen a long distance away in the beams of car headlights -- far enough away to warn a driver that Halloween spirits are abroad and he'd better slow down or stop. SMALL EGGS EXCELLENT BUY IN EARLY FALL Take advantage of the plentiful supply of small eggs during September and October. They'll be "the most economical choice during this period, according to James R. Roush, University of Illinois agricultural marketing specialist, and Elizabeth Nyholm, home economist. Pullets hatched in the spring lay their first eggs in the early fall. Thus small eggs are always more abundant during this season. Generally, small eggs weigh about one-fourth less than large eggs. Allowing for the difference in weight, these small eggs are just as nutritious as large ones. Here's a hint for choosing the best buy: If small eggs cost one-fourth or more less than large eggs, the small size is the best buy. For example, if large eggs sell for 57 cents a dozen &nd small eggs are less than 43 cents, the small size gives you the most for your money. Here's a tip on substituting small eggs for larger eggs in cooking: Most recipes are based on an egg measuring one-fourth cup. Using this guide, you can easily get the necessary amount. When measuring fractions of whole eggs, beat the eggs slightly with' a fork to thoroughly mix the white and the yolk. Otherwise you may not get the correct proportion of egg yolk and white.
