Thursday. February 11, 1965 SprtnyfcM fZporl THOMAS J. HANAHAN, JR. As stated in my previous column, reapportionment seems to be the biggest single piece of legislation that will come Before the 74th General Assembly. The one man, one vote edict of the Supreme Court seems to the 'average person an easy to understand statement, but let's" look deeper, into this problem. First, of all, what is to be done in the cases of Lake, Winnebago. Kane and DuPage counties. which surround our immediate area. Each of these counties has. a population too large for one district and yet not large enough for two districts.. In these cases, ihe only ihing that can be done is to cross county lines. Next, which population figures should the reapportionment committee use -- the 196(1 U.S. Census or the estimated population of 1964? The latter seems more logical to me, but the pitfalT^ta using it is that it is nor broken dotvn into township estimates which we need in the cases of the four counties cited above. The next big issue is that each political party wants to protect its interests by drawing a map that will insure their control of the legislature. For example, if you confine enough people of a certain political-belief into one district, the opposite party would not have a chance in the near future of winning a seat in that district. Another important fact to remember is that incumbent legislators, because of human nature, will be against any map that would endanger their re-election by being in the same district with another incumbent. Certainly, this must happen. All of what I am saying here might not excite many people at t'-Kls time, but just think of the consequences. If we cannot come to an agreement on reapportionment during this session, the people of our state will be faced with another bod sheet ballot in the next election. We still have not totalled the bill for last November's fiasco, which some estimate as high as five million dollars. It seems to me that wo must reapportion and to do this we must put political and personal ambition aside and draw a map that will give the people fair representation. Even though I feel that McHenry county should not be plit into two districts as iroposed by the Democratic nap or three districts as proposed by the Republican map, n order to accomplish reapportionment, we are probably eft with no other choice, un- 'ess some organization, school, newspaper, or club undertakes i worthwhile civic . job and Iraws up a new map of fiftyline House districts and fifty- ?ight Senatorial districts based >n population. I invite anyone 'o try their hand at this task, •ind if you should succeed, please forward this map to me it the State Capitol Building in Springfield. GOLDEN JUBILEE PTA SCHOLARSHIP DEADLINE TOLD The Illinois Congress of Parents and Teachefs, will again award a scholarship to a high school graduate in each of the thirty-six PTA- districts in the state, according to Mr. Donald Johannes, district scholarship chairman.

Secretary Powell said his action was based on the advice of Richard Shomaker, veteran chief clerk of the automobile division who has served in that capacity or as assistant chief clerk during the administration of the last four secretaries of state and who has been an employee of the automobile division since 1932. Powell said Shomaker based his adviQp on the fact that during the past two weeks the difference in total plate sales between this year and 1964 is only 126,000 less. "At this time last year," Powell said "64.7 per cent of the total registration has been accounted for. As of Feb. 3rd, plate sales for 1965 totaled 61.3 per. cent of the total registration of last year." Powell said he would notify law enforcement agencies not to arrest and the courts not to convict anyone for failure to display 1965 passenger ear plates if they produce satisfactory evidence of the fact that their application for plates had been filed with the Secretary of State prior to Feb. 1, 1965. He also said that his office would cooperate in helping any person incorrectly charged with failure to display their passenger car plates by furnishing evidence that they had made application prior to Feb. 1st. spatter, no-mess-to-clean-up job. It's amazing how irritable ACHING, SORE FEET can make you feel. Shows up in your face too. Of course, we all know ill-fitting shoes are the major cause of trouble. They cause corns, calluses and bunions. Keep your feet in good shape by rubbing (daily, if possible) with a creamy abrasive lotion. This prevents calluses and rough spots, especially on heels. Always use foot powder before dressing. Use a corn pad the minute a corn starts, then stop wearing the shoes that seem tOj be causing the trouble. x- Buy stockings V2" longer than your feet. Stockings that squeeze toes are troublestarters. Most important, don't wear spike heels and needletoe shoes all day -- they're murder on feet! Don't wear floppy slipjjers for housework, either.

SERVICE BOARD ISSUES WARNING ON REGISTRATION All young men are required by law to register with Selective Service within five days after reaching their eighteenth birthday. A youth failing to do so may be declared a delinquent and ordered for immediate induction into the Arrpy. This warning was issued by George Jedlicka*$ chairman of McHenry County Local Board No. 159. Mr. Jedlicka pointed out that the obligation to register applies not only to citizens of the United States but also to aliens, except a few exempt by law. Aliens not exempt must register within six months after entering the United States. Men discharged from the Armed Forces must register within thirty days after discharge unless they registered previously. A man may register at any Selective Service local board, Mr. Jedlicka said.

Tax• Facts Prompt and accurate reporting of net Earnings was described as "the only way to assure social security protection in future years for self-employed people." In a joint notice to self-employed people, Bernard Barnett, Social Security district manager, and John Butler, Internal Revenue representative, advised that the 1964 federal income tax returns tForm 1040) must be filed on or before April 15, 1965. A self-employed person must file a tax return and pay the self-employment tax if net earnings for the year were at l^ast $400, .even if no income tax is payable. Barnett reminded self-employed persons-that any old-age, survivors and disability insurance benefits payable to them and their families will be based on reported earnings. If earnings are not reported ,or if they are incorrectly reported, benefit amounts may be reduced- -in some cases lost entirely when the worker retires, becomes disabled, or dies. Household employees--cooks, maids, charwomen; handymen, - -earn their own protection against loss of income from old age, death, or disability under the social security program. Domestic workers who are paid at least $50 in cash wages in a calendar quarter from a single employer receive social security credit for these earnings. To get this credit, the earnings must be reported. As an, employer, you must report to the Internal Revenue Service if you pay your household worker as much as $50 cash wages in the quarter. Most household employers submit reports on Form 942, a simplified statement printed on the inside of a self-addressed envelope. These reports are filed after the close of each calendar quarter, and are due by April 30, July 31, Oct. 31 and Jan. 31 each year. If you are a househdld .employer on the mailing list of the District Director of In: ternal Revenue, one of these forms is mailed to you at the proper time. If social securitytaxes are due and you are not on the mailing list, you should request the District Director to add your name to the mailing list. The social security tax for the employee and the employer is 3 5/8 percent each of the •.leer Section Two A Simply Inspired Brew m total wages paid in cash in a calendar quarter. However, it is the responsibility of the em; ployer to report and send the tax of 7V4 percent to the District Director of Internal Revenue. The employer must' collect the employee's share of the tax. The $50-cash-wage test applies to each household worker in your employ; but no report or social security tax is due on iany household worker to whom you pay less than $50 cash during a calendar quarter. For further information contact the social security office at 2500 Grand Avenue or the Internal Revenue office at 325 Washington Street, Waukegan, Illinois.
