It will start at 6 p.m. Those families at­ tending are requested to bring a dish to pass, enough meat for their family, and their own silverware. If you have any questions regarding the dish to be passed (what it should be), contact your scout's den moth­ er. This is a very important night for the scouts, so if there is a scout in your family, plan to attend. The Cub Scouts recently held a bake sale downtown at the Market Place shopping center. The profits totalled $44.60. They are grateful to all those who donated baked goods for the sale. LADIES BOWLING LEAGUE The ladies who signed up to bowl on Thursday afternoon are having a terrific time. The only problem encountered seems to be getting a sub to bowl for you if you are unable to at­ tend. You do not have to pay for your bowling if you have a sub to go for you. The sub will pay for the bowling that day. However, if your team is missing a bowler because a sub was not obtained, the bowling will have to be paid for by the person missing. We hope to get a substitute list printed up shortly, to be given to all team members. But in the meantime, Linda Thietje has the list of subs, so give her a call if you cannot make it. Do it early enough so that the substitute has enough time to make ar­ rangements. Linda's phone number is 385-6483. LACK OF INFORMATION I must apologize for the short column this week. Apparently February is a dull month around here. I guess all of us have had enough of the dreary weathei\ lately. Has anybody been any place to get away from it all? I think it would be nice to in­ clude in our column the things that some of our students are doing. How about those away from home, maybe in the ser­ vice or in college? We would like to hear about their inter­ esting activities. I hope to be hearing from all of you before next week.

PLAINDEALER PHOTO Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie an­ nounced this past week that the 1972 state budget will contain no request for tax increases despite a "precarious fiscal situation" in Illinois. Revenues from state sources during fiscal 1972 are expect­ ed to increase only 5.5 per jent over 1971, he said. This represents a substantial reduction from the increases in state revenues registered in 1970 and 1971, following the enactment of a new state in- cpme tax. Ogilvie is scheduled to pre­ sent the full budget to the Gen­ eral Assembly on March 3. He commented: "It is painfully clear that balancing the 1972 state budget is going to require belt-tight- ening of the most stringent sort. " The tremendous demands upon the resources of state gov- ernment-especially a welfare system which has become an uncontrollable disaster-and the effects of a sluggish economy make rigid fiscal controls ab­ solutely imperative." According to projections made by the Bureau of the Budget, general fund revenues from all state sources will to­ tal $2,816 billion in fiscal 1972, a 5.5 per cent increase over the $2,668 billion expected dur­ ing the year «nding next June 30. J He added that the state budget agency's projections for the 1970 and 1971 fiscal years have proven "extremely accurate," falling within two-tenths of one per cent of the original esti­ mates. Current budget projections call for 1972 state general rev­ enues to be generated as fol­ lows: --Income taxes, both corpor­ ate and personal: $1,081 bil­ lion, or 38 per cent of general fund revenues from state sour­ ces. --Retail occupation and use tax: $1,085 billion, a moderate increase over the $1,031 bil­ lion projected for 1971. --Cigaret taxes: $147 mil­ lion, down slightly from 1971 due to declining cigaret sales. --Liquor gallonage tax: $72 million. --Public utility tax: $160 mil­ lion. --Insurance premium tax: $53 million. The low growth in all but the cigarct tax was attributed by Ogilvie to a mild real growth in the Illinois economy and sub­ stantial federal tax reductions for corporations. Other economic projections released by the budget agency reveal the following Illinois forecasts for fiscal 1972: --Personal income, up 6 per cent to $54.5 billion. --Taxable personal income, up 5.8 per cent to $43.7 bil­ lion. --Taxable retail sales, up 6.2 per cent to $27.1 billion.

INCOME AVERAGING CAN CUT TAX BILL, CPA SAYS If 1970 was a very good year for you financially, Uncle Sam has made it easier to reduce the tax bite by averaging out your current income over pre­ ceding years that were not so good, according to David J. Bramson, chairman of the spe­ cial activities section, Com­ mittee on Taxation of the Illinois Society of CPAs. The Tax Reform Act of 1969 has increased the benefits available under income av­ eraging and now permits income realized on property received by gift or inheritance, as well as income from wagering and long-term capital gains, to be averaged. In averaging income, Mr. Bramson says, a taxpayer in effect spreads current income over the current and preceding four years, thereby lowering the tax rate on current income. The result is a lesser over-all ob­ ligation. "If your 1970 taxable income is at least $3,000 more than 120 percent of the average of your 1966 through 1969 tax­ able incomes," he goes on, "generally you will qualify for income averaging." The benefits can be substan­ tial, he add, citing the follow­ ing illustration: Mr. and Mrs. Adams filed joint Federal income tax re­ turns for the years 1966 through 1969. Their average taxable in­ come during that period was $20,000. In 1970, their taxable income was $44,000 and again they will file a joint return. Their Federal tax liability, computed without averaging, would be $14,060 before sur­ charge. Using income aver­ aging, it will be $12,860 be­ fore surcharge, a saving of $1,200. Form 1040, Schedule G is used to compute the tax under the income averaging formula. If it is not in the tax pack­ age mailed to you by the In­ ternal Revenue Service, it may be obtained from any local IRS office. Mr. Bramson suggests that "if you are indoubtastowheth- NEW DIRECTORS NAMED Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie last week named C.

Anderson of Galesburg assistant director of the Department of Aeronautics. er income averaging can reduce your 1970 tax cost, invest the few minutes required to complete the Schedule G form. The instructions are not overly difficult to follow." Only two categories of incom§ are now unavailable for income averaging: premature distribu­ tion from self-employment retirement plans and distri­ butions from trusts of accumu­ lated taxable income. OGILVIE NAMES HEW OFFICIAL Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie has named Donald F. Simpson, for­ mer assistant secretary of the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare, state director of public aid. He said Harold O. Swank, the pre­ sent director, will serve as dep­ uty director. Ogilvie termed the appointment the first of many major steps he will be taking to meet Illinois' crisis in wel­ fare costs, which he termed "the largest single threat to continuing vitality of state gov­ ernment." He emphasized "the necessity for prompt federal action" in assuming full costs of the national welfare prob­ lem and referred to Simpson as "an eminent, respected and widely experienced federal of­ ficial" nominated to begin "the federalization of public assis­ tance in Illinois." piE|E1lgl(BIIEIIEIIBIieilEllBllBllBmaffilBBHniBllg|lP||P||CllPllEllBltBIIBIIBIIginBIIBBBIIBHE| Tax Savings For The Self-Employed Save on your Federal Income Tax in a Marengo Federal Retire- ment Trust Account. 1.
