T V COMMENTARY TV VIOLENCE is not be­ ing soft-pedalled, it seems, even though viewers have been led to believe that it has. Dr. George Gerbner, dean of the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania, reports that violence on Tv is heightening. IT IS REPORTED that CBS is the most violent in its programming. NBC is sec­ ond and ABC is the less vio­ lent, according to the report. Dr. Gerbner labeled cartoons, such as those shown in Sat­ urday morning kiddy time, as the most violent fare in TV. MADIGAN is a new NBC series to be seen for an hour and a half on Wednesdays. It is a part of the new "Wednesday Mystery" ro­ tating series. Madigan is a very human policeman, one who sometimes makes mis­ takes.

ALSO on a rotating cir­ cuit, ABC will produce "Kung Fu" for one hour every fourth Saturday. "Alias Smith and Jones" will be on the remain­ ing three Saturdays. "Kung Fu" is an action-adventure show, a Western which stars a Chinese super-hero. THE OSCAR-WINNING MOVIE "Patton" will be on TV next season. Since strong language was a part of Pat- ton, the man.it will be inter­ esting to see how the film can be edited for TV and still maintain its integrity: Q) I understand that many- taxpayers can claim a "special withholding allowance" to re­ duce the amount of tax with­ held from their pay. Does this mean that they can claim an additional exemption ^hen, they file their tax return? A) No. The "special with­ holding allowance" is like an additional exemption, but for withholding: purposes only. You may not claim the addi­ tional exemption on your tax return. A special withholding allowance should not be con­ fused with the personal ex­ emption or dependency ex­ emption. The latter may be claimed only for the taxpayer himself or for each of his dependents. Q) Is it true that employed taxpayers with child care ex­ penses may get a larger de­ duction next year? A) Yes. The Revenue Act of 1971 has greatly liberal­ ized the deduction for the care of children and disabled de­ pendents and spouses. Begin­ ning in 1972, certain tax­ payers will be able to deduct up to $400 per month for household and dependent care expenses. However, taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes of more than $18,000 for the tax year, must reduce the Otherwise allowable amount by 50 cents for each dollar of adjusted gross income over $18,000. For example, a tax­ payer with an adjusted gross income of $20,000 might be limited to $3,800 for the tax year (the maximum annual deduction of $4,800 less one- half of $2,000) if he made payments for these expenses incurred during the year of at least $400 for every month. To qualify, a taxpayer must be gainfully employed and provide over one-half the cost of maintaining his household that includes a dependent child under 15, a disabled de­ pendent of any age, or his disabled spouse. These quali­ fications apply to both hus­ band and wife when the tax­ payer is married. For more information on child care deductions, write your Internal Revenue dis­ trict office for a free copy of IRS Publication 553, "High­ lights of 1971 Changes in the Tax Law." Q) Is the cost of sending a handicapped dependent to a special school a deductible medical expense? A) Yes, if the taxpayer itemises deductions and does not claim the expense as a child or disabled dependent care deduction, payments for sending a mentally or physi­ cally handicapped dependent to a special school are medical expenses if the principal rea­ son for his attendance is the institution's resources for al­ leviating the handicap. For example, the cost of sending a blind child to a school to learn braille, or a deaf child to learn lipreading, are medi­ cal expenses. They may be included with other medical and dental expenses which are deductible to the extent they exceed three percent of the taxpayer's income. In addition, the cost' of meals and lodging supplied by the institution, and of ordi­ nary • education furnished in­ cidental to the special services may be deductible. Q) I received a cash award from my employer because a suggestion of mine was adopt­ ed. Is the award taxable? A) Yes. An award or bonus given employees for work achievements or suggestions is taxable. Khowft/" 4 - f 'THt forest What is fog? Is it really a cloud on the surface of the earth? Yes, fog is nothing more than a cloud. All clouds are formed when some kind of cooling process lowers the PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Proposed Change in Gas Schedule NORTHERN ILLINOIS GAS COMPANY hereby gives notice to the public that it has filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission on September 1, 1972, revisions iri rate schedules to reflect, in adjust­ ments for cost of purchased gas, incremental cost of pur­ chased storage service, de­ ductions for cost of net injec­ tions into storage over with­ drawals from storage, the ad­ justment on the basis of gas sold rather than gas purchased, and balanced refund adjustments. These changes will have the effect of increasing the adjustment for cost of purchased gas *. Further information with re­ spect thereto may be obtained either directly from this Com­ pany or by addressing the Secretary of the Illinois Commerce Commission at Springfield, Illinois 62706. A copy of the proposed change in the schedule may be inspected by any interested party at any business office of this Company. NORTHERN ILLINOIS GAS COMPANY By D.E. Wallin Vice President (Published Sept. 20, 1972) moisture and becomes visi­ ble particles--thus a cloud. This process can occur in several different ways and under different circum­ stances. In the fall, the fog is often seen in most parts of the country (the west coast experiences much fog in winter). Fogs are usually caused when the earth (heated during the summer) loses itsheat into the cooler night air. As the warmer air from the earth's surface rises and is cooled, fog forms. Cold ground, in spring, for example, can make its own fog when warm moist air blows over it--by cooling the air to the cloud stage. Fog, then, is nothing more than a land-locked cloud. from HISTORY'S SCRAPB00K DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS Captain Nathan Hale, who stated: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country," was hung on September tt, 1776 as an American spy.
