PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1973 Twice Told Tales Pictured in a sample employment interview held at Marian Central as a part of the evaluation for the English department's Vocational Communications program, are Mike Cooney, senior from Woodstock, and James Mac Names, personnel manager for Farr company in Crystal Lake. County Firms Take Part In Vocational Program Tax Facts During the recent semester exam week at Marian Central Catholic high school, members of Mr. Billimack's Senior Vocational Communications class participated in what may be an unique type of final evaluation. The members of the class are seniors who are planning on seeking em­ ployment immediately after graduation this June. Their work this semester has cen­ tered on an investigation of career opportunities that require a high school degree or a limited amount of additional training. A new publication entitled "Career World" by Curriculum Innovations, provided a steady source of vocational in­ formation for the class. This periodical not only described the details of various work fields but gave excellent future projections on job availability. Other activities included ex­ tensive film reviews of career fields, field trips to job areas that interested the students and a thorough study of the job application and interview process. The final evaluation of this course was made in a series of individual 15-20 minute job interviews with personnel managers throughout McHenry county. John Orso, division personnel manager for Nor­ thern Illinois Gas Co., Crystal Lake, was instrumental in assisting in the organization of this valuable program. The others who participated with their time and expertice were James Mac Names, personnel manager of Farr company in Crystal Lake; Basil Colburn, employment manager of Woodstock Die Casting; Gene Eckert, personnel manager and Mrs. Barbara Moran, art personnel manager, Brake Parts in McHenry; and Bob Schultz, training director, Oak Industries in Crystal Lake. The students found the personal interview to be both enjoyable and extremely beneficial educationally. Each student completed a job ap­ plication for the business represented by his particular interviewer prior to the meeting. He then conducted himself as if he were applying for a job at the firm. After the normal employment interview, the student was then given immediate feedback by his interviewer as to some strengths or weaknesses that were noted. It was felt by students, teacher and the personnel managers that this program was a vital first step in preparing the students for entrance into the work world. < LakemooEr^Lilymoor Alma Hueckstaedt ^ 385-5689 License Plates, Vehicle Stickers Deadline Feb. 15 Feb. 15 is a very important date for several reasons, PLEASE TAKE NOTE- It is the deadline for vehicle stickers and license plates.

He said that IRS employees in Illinois will have returns filled out by preparers in their offices from now until April 16. These employees will observe the preparation of these returns by posing as clients. This program, Mr. Beck said, does not mean that the IRS is condemning every return preparer. The industry as a whole provides an important and valuable service to the taxpaying public. A similar program which the IRS conducted last year revealed that many return preparers were counseling taxpayers to deliberately understate their income tax liabilities. The findings confirm the need for a program this year also to identify un­ scrupulous return preparers. The IRS will also be auditing income tax returns prepared by some of the unscrupulous preparers. In making the investigations last year, the IRS found that some preparers were including fictitious dependents, in­ creasing itemized deductions or omitting income on returns they prepared. This year, the IRS will not only look for these methtjlds of understating the income tax liability but for new methods or schemes. Nation-wide we have cases in various stages of investigation and have either prosecuted or have under prosecution some 483 preparers, Beck said. Of these, 103 "pleaded guilty or were convicted. In the Chicago district alone we have had ten convictions and nine arrests. V.A.
