Ogilvie appealed to more than 200,000 elderly and disabled persons to register for tax relief benefits from the state. Persons who register will be sent forms -- as soon as they are available - to claim grants of as much as $500 whether they own or rent their homes. Ogilvie explained: "Approximately 64,000 persons are now registered, but this leaves another 216,000 who will not receive the grant forms when they are ready. * "The registration form is simple to complete, and will help ensure speedy processing of this historic measure of tax relief. "For purposes of registration, no help will normally be required. The form does not require a notary, and it asks registrants to answer only seven simple questions. "I urge both the elderly and the disabled - and their friends or relatives - to give us the information as soon as possible so that grants for 1972 can be sent to all qualified persons." Under the legislation the governor proposed and signed mto law, any homeowner who is 65 or more after last Dec. 31, and persons who are or expect to be physically or mentally disabled for a year of more are eligible for the grant program. The size of the grant depends on the amount of local real estate taxes or rent paid, and the total income, taxable or not, of the recipients. The grants cover real estate taxes for 1972 which are payable this year, and rent paid last year. According to estimates of the Bureau of the Budget, the following groups of persons are eligible: 127,00>0 elderly persons who own homes and 103,000 who rent, 28,000 disabled homeowners and 22,000 disabled renters. Under the governor's program, one-quarter of the rent, exclusive of charges for utilities or furnishings is counted in place of real estate taxes in figuring grants. Mrs. Jeannette Mullen, administrative assistant to Director George E. Mahin of the Illinois Department of Revenue, said persons should write - not telephone - to the department, Box 3124, Springfield 62708 to receive the registration forms. She com­ mented; "Just as soon as the final grant forms are approved, they will be mailed to registered persons. But we have no way whatsoever of reaching persons who are not registered. "We will, of course, make forms available widely over the counter, but a great deal of lost time--and even lost grants-will be prevented if person^ who believe they are eligible will heed the governor's appeal quickly." Not Too Late For '73 Safety Resolutions Want to stay alive and healthy in 1973? The Institute for Safer Living urges adherence to these ten safety resolutions: 1.1 resolve to drive my car at a speed safe for conditions and always within legal speed limits. 2. I resolve neither to mix drinking and driving, nor to ride with a driver who has been drinking. 3. When working around my home, I resolve to follow safe procedures when using tools and ladders. 4. When bathing or swimming in public or private waters, I shall observe rules for swim­ ming safety. 5. I shall stay alert for fall hazards, knowing that falls on level surfaces or from a height cause more injuries than any other type of accident. 6. If I handle a gun, I shall not point it at anyone or anything that I do not intend to shoot. 7. I resolve to clean out and rearrange the family medicine cabinet, plainly labeling and identifying all household poisons so that they cannot be mistaken, even in the dark. I will lock them up out of reach of children. 8. I will eliminate every fire hazard in my house, knowing that a moment's thoughtless­ ness may destroy lives and property. 9. I will always remember that burning fuel - whether burnt in a cooking stove, automobile engine, or heating equipment -- produces carbon monoxide, an odorless, deadly gas! 10. I resolve to learn more about accident causes and how ,to prevent accidents from in-^ juring myself and others.

T) he IJUotty, Cli MIC Miriam's problem confronts all lipreaders, whether they are stone deaf or the usual older folks who often grow hard of hearing. And its solution in­ volves use of the star salesman's "strategy for dominating the interview. Expert lipreaders ignore that "slow but sure" maxim! Bv - George W. Crane, Ph. D , M.D. CASE L-550: Miriam D., age^ 15, is a prettty girl who is deaf. "Dr. Crane," her worried mother began, "Miriam is quite intelligent but she doesn't read lips very well, "Some of the other students in her class, who haven't as high an l.Q. as Miriam, far surpass her in keeping up with conversation. "So how can we help Miriam become faster at reading lips?" DEAF PSYCHOLOGY ^Vhen I was stationed at Gallaudet College for the Deaf in Washington, D C., the vice- president thereof gave me the answer to Miriam's difficulty. "Dr. Crane." he said, "I find that a good lipreader must be willing to take a chance. He must ignore the 'slow but sure' maxim. "Alas, some of our brightest students are poor lipreaders because they have such a mathematical or scientific attitude that they will never jump to conclusions. "But many words look alike on the lips of the speaker so the expert lipreader must be willing to skip over these hiatuses and try to follow the general context. "Then he can probably flip back in his mind and fill in the words that he missed. ""A brilliant student who refuses to gamble, as it were, and who methodically stops at every word till he comprehends it fully, thus loses out. For he lags far behind the speaker." After my 5 years' experience as Research Psychologist with the deaf. I can give a hearty 'Amen" to this shrewd diagnosis by Gallaudet's vice- president. But there is another superb strategy that can zoom a deaf person's lipreading skill. It consists of steering the conversation by deftly asking questions. * "Have you attended any college football/ games this year?" the dea| person may thus inquire. Obviously. this will narrow the range of conversation to football topics and thus make it much easier forhhe deaf person to read the speaker's lips. Then follow that first query with another suitable question, as: "Do you think professional football will beat baseball in popular appeal?" The skillfui lipreader must thus learn how to direct the flow of casual conversation by constantly suggesting topics of conversation via a steady barrage of apt questions. By the way, this is also the technique for dominating the sales interview, so all star salesmen have automatically learned this superb strategy. Unfortunately for the deaf, many speakers do not use their lips enough in clipping off their vowels. The vowels are uttered in the throat and thus are gutteral sounds which don't show up very well, visually. Consonants are formed more with the tongue and lips, so they add the visual aspects of spoken language. Good public speakers thus lift their voice out of their throat and push it forward into the front of their mouth, much as a child projects the bubble of his bubble gum! So send for my "Formula for Easy Conversation," enclosing a long stamped, return en­ velope, plus 20 cents, for it is also a great aid to lipreaders! a The Law Serves You Legal Advice Has Role To Play In Your Home Improvement Plan So you are about to hire a contractor to have some work done on your house? If that is the case, warns the Illinois State Bar association, there are some legal steps you should take to protect yourself against shoddy work or from paying more than the amount you a^ree to. /For one thing, you should know something about the law of liens, and the best place to get advice on that point is from your lawyer. All too often, the ISBA says, people will sign a substantial home improvement contract, perhaps one running into thousands of dollars, while giving little thought to the legal) aspects of real estate property improvements. One of those legal aspects is the Mechanics' Liens Act, a law which gives any workman who makes improvements to someone else's property the right to file a lien, or claim, against that property if he isn't paid for his services. If necessary, anytime within two years after his work was done, presuming that his lien was properly filed with the County s Recorder, the contractor may foreclose the lien and perhaps force the sale of the property so that he may be paid from the proceeds. A workman who is a subcontractor has a similar right but must notify the property owner of the non­ payment within a certain time period before he may file a claim for lien. Most homeowners, of course, think of hiring a contractor and paying for his work when it is done as a rather cut and dried affair. And, since most home improvement contractors are perfectly reliable people, it is usually just that. However, there is always the exception. Takfe the case of a Chicago womarvShe wrote a check to the contractor for the full amount of the remodelling and redecorating work on her home, quite honestly presuming that her payment of several thousand dollars ended the matter. Much to her sur­ prise, a short time later she received a notice from the electrical subcontractor ad­ vising her that he had not been paid for his part of the job. To keep him from filing a lien on her property, she paid the electrical subcontractor's bill, even though her check to the contractor had covered his work. Of course, the woman sued the contractor in an effort to recover the amount of her overpayment, but had she sought the advice of her lawyer in the first place she would have been spared the trouble and the extra expense. Her lawyer would have stressed these important points. First: Ask the con­ tractor for an affidavit -- a notarized statement - in which he lists the names of all of his subcontractors, their addresses and the amounts of their subcontracts. Second: Before paying the contractor, ask him to provide waivers from sub­ contractors waiving their rights to any liens in connection with the work that was done. Finally, compare the con­ tractor's sworn statement to the waivers to be sure that all liens have been waived as to the amounts due or requested. That, of course, isn't the full extent of the legal advice to be had about home improvement dealings. A lawyer also would instruct his client as to protections against shoddy workmanship, work left un­ done, use of inferior materials or unnecessarily protracted work schedules. In most cases, adequate guarantees can and should be written into the contract which, especially if it is a sizable one, should be examined by the lawyer if not actually prepared by him. He •would also give advice as to the timing and amounts of payments as the work progresses, assurance of proper performance and of the importance of public liability insurance to cover injury to others on the work site. Finally, one of the best guarantees of a job well done is the good name and reputation of the contractor himself. Make sure the contractor has an established place of business; ask him for references; go to the site to examine work he has done that is similar to what you have in mind, and perhaps check with the Better Business Bureau or Chamber of Com­ merce to determine whether any complaints have been made against the contractor. As your lawyer would say, do this before ypu sign anything! If nine-tenths of your efforts are failures, then you need to work 10 times as hard. Youngsters often don't know what they want. Must be following in their parents' footsteps.
