f\ LET GEORGE DO IT and George Freund for the past 50 years has been secretary of the Foresters bowling league. Above Earl Walsh (R) presents George with an appreciation award from his bowling pals. (STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD) The Catholic Order of Foresters' Palace Alleys bowling teams and their ladies dined at McHenry Country Club Saturday night to honor George P. Freund, who has -been secretary of the league since its beginning 50 years ago. What's more-he is still bowling with the group. The committee, headed by Albert S. Blake, left no stone unturned to make this party a complete success. A letter from the American Bowling Congress was read by Master of Ceremonies, Earl Walsh, who also presented a plaque to the honored guest from his bowling pale-. Albert Blake presented "George P." and his wife, Mary, with a gift from the league. Father Kulak offered words of appreciation and recognition for George's contribution to the community. Maurice Foley, president of the bowling league, made the shortest speech in history. Secretary George recalled amusing happenings in the history of the league. The "Barbershoppers" en­ tertained. It was a jolly good time. Fifty years! Name, Address Change Important To State Drivers Failure to comply with a seemingly insignificant law is causing many Illinois motorists to miss out on a timely public service offered by the Secretary of State. It may cause them to wind up with an expired license, which could lead to arrest and fine, and it costs the taxpayers time and money. Michael J. Howlett, Secretary of State, has stressed the importance of complying with the law that states change of name or address must be reported within 10 days. Howlett explained that drivers whose licenses are about to expire are issued renewal notices from his office. Many do not receive their notices because they have moved and have neglected to file their change of address with the Secretary of State. Without this reminder from Springfield, some unin­ tentionally allow their licenses to expire. Howlett pointed out that driving with an expired license is a petty offense. If the period of expiration is more than six months, minimum fine is $50. A driver's license renewal notice is mailed approximately forty-five days before the ex­ piration of h\is license. If the driver is required to be re-examined, Howlett said, early receipt of his renewal notice will allow sufficient time to study the Rules of the road. « In February, 17.158 Tax Facts Let's Talk Taxes: A Quick Guide To Paying Less, Enjoying It More (Part Three) Every year, more and more Americans who had always filled out their own income tax returns throw up their hands in despair and go elsewhere for help. In 1972, an estimated 47 million received that help from commercial tax preparation services. "Whether to seek this sort of outside help is, of course, up to the individual," says tax specialist Sanford Kahn. "But it must be remembered that his primary objectives should be. renewal notices were returned by the Post Office department as undeliverable. The number of returns has increased steadily since 1969, which results both in wasted postage and time for Secretary of State employes to file returns. In 1969, renewal notices were returned at an average rate of 3,485 per month. This average increased to well over 9,000 per month in 1972. Last December the situation deteriorated to such an extent that manpower and resources had to be diverted within the Secretary's office to design a new system for filing returns. Yet, returns continue to rise. January's total was 12,119, which gives 1973 a monthly average of 14,638 for the first two months. YMCA Winter Enrollment Up By 105 At a recent meeting of the Lake Region YMCA Program committee, James Clay pool, chairman, summarized the winter quarter program. There was an increase of 105 participants over the first quarter of 1972. New programs that were offered for the first time in the winter quarter included youth gymnastics, junior high ski instructions, tennis for youth and adults and aviation flight school for teens and adults, chess club for adults, women's karate and women's volleyball. The type of activity and their enrollment for the winter quarter were thirty Indian Guide tribes with 484 enrolled; eleven Indian Princess tribes with 177 enrolled; three Warrior tribes with thirty-four enrolled; 1 Y's Men's club with thirteen members; youth bowling; gymnastics and swim instruction with 247 enrolled; junior high ski and monthly dance with ninety-five enrolled; teen bowling, tennis, youth and government with twenty-six enrolled, adult flight school, chess, karate, physical fitness, yoga and volleyball with 115 enrolled. Plans are now being finalized for the activities that will be scheduled for the spring quarter that begins Saturday, March 24. PAGE3-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, MARCH 16. 1973 % SUNDAY S A SfUNION Winds of Change There are winds of change in the air about us, gusting forth with new vigor and magnitude. The war is over, our economy is changing, and we wonder what will be next. But there is some­ thing each of us should be doing - we should be trying to change our lives for the better. Now is the ideal time. America needs a call of com­ mitment and change to get back on the path that leads to God. Loose morals, crime, hatred, de­ ceit, and apathy must be changed to love, honesty, and pursuit of God's will for our lives. We as a nation are ripe for change, but it is up to each of us to bring in the harvest within our hearts By letting God in on our plans, and by letting our lives fit into God's plan, we are surely destined toward greatness. But we must start somewhere and at sometime. You can start right here, right now. Can't you feel the winds of change? How many hairs in a mustache?

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD District 156 Tells Plans To Meet State Requirements from HISTORY'S SCRAPB00K DATES AND EVENTS FROM YESTERYEARS first, to pay as little in taxes as he legally has to and, second, to complete the form completely and accurately so the IRS doesn't call him on it. "If the taxpayer doubts his ability to achieve these ob­ jectives on his own, he'll probably decide to go to a tax service. His next problem is: Which one? As a consumer, he's most likely very particular about getting the most for his money when he has his car or his TV set repaired. He ought to be equally particular when he has his tax form completed. "After all," Kahn points out, "there could be great savings at stake." There are a number of clues to a tax service's reliability, according to Kahn. "One simple test is: Will they sign the return, listing themselves as the preparer? And will they pay any penalty or any interest charges caused by their error? That doesn't mean, of course, that they're obligated to pay any additional taxes owed or that they should be stuck with the bill if the mistake was due to faulty information supplied by the taxpayer." Another test, says Kahn, is to determine if the service has a permanent office. "Will they be there, after tax season, to answer any questions that you - - or the Internal Revenue Service - might have? Do they perform financially related services the year round? The fly-by-nights just might not be easy to find if a problem arises." Kahn also lists these guidelines: - Will they prepare state and city returns as well as federal? "Some aren't set up to do this. So you'd have to do these yourself - and they might be trickier than the federal form." - Will they handle out-of-the- ordinary deductions or ex­ clusions, such as those for moving, sick pay, non-highway gasoline tax refunds, etc.? "This is where real savings are possible, so be cautious if the tax service seems inclined to gloss over these items just to get your return over and done with." - How well trained are the individual consultants? "Most of the well known companies in Plans to implement the new state requirements for evaluation, supervision and recognition of schools were outlined for the District 156 board last Wednesday night by Supt. Richard Swantz. Swantz said the district will confine efforts to obtaining a cross section of opinion on what the local community thinks students should get out of high school. He plans to do this through a questionnaire type of survey. After approval by the board of twenty-five statements, the school will mail them to parents and other adults, and they will also be given to students for their opinions. Administrators hope to use the answers in giving priority to those items which rank highest in public interest. Questions will concern areas of education which the public will have an opportunity to evaluate. The administrator said he feels the new state regulations will force school districts, now many times crisis-orientated, to plan ahead. In addition to a random sampling through the mails, this field give their personnel many hours of instruction and testing. Find out how much your particular consultant has had. Does he have a background in the financial area? Don't be afraid to ask -- and to go elsewhere if the an­ swers don't satisfy you." - Does the service have a policy and procedures manual or an extensive guidebook or checklist to follow in order to save you every possible dollar? Finally, Kahn advises, "don't be overly swayed by the promise of a finished tax return for only a few dollars. If your return is relatively simple, certainly the fee should be reasonable. The average is about $12. But you're paying for a valuable service, so consider quality as well as price." Does obtaining outside assistance really help or does it only give the taxpayer a sense of moral support? "It does appear to accomplish much more than just lift a weight off the individual's shoulders," Kahn states. "Nationally, 12 per cent of all returns have been found to contain errors. This decreases to 7 to 9 per cent when professional help is employed. And the error factor drops to a fraction of one per cent when that professionally prepared return is completed with the help of a computer."

The board tabled con-, sideration of particular changes in its policy on reimbursement of college credits. Action will follow further study of existing policy. The board will consider payment of $30 per credit hour or the actual tuition, whichever is less, the policy to cover tenure teachers only. The suggested requirement would be for at least three semester hours of approved college credit every three years for any movement on the salary schedule. A parent attending the meeting complained about the requirement that her son take physical education for four years. When she was told this was state law, the parents said she would deal with the proper state department. At this informative program, an explanation was made on the cooperative education program in which 150 students are now involved. They are working in the community as part of a program in which the two campuses and local business firms participate. Seven full and part time coordinators staff the program, which is divided into six sec­ tions. Besides the W.E.C.E.P. (Work Experience Career Exploration Program) and C.W.T. (Cooperative Work Training), the program in­ cludes Distributive Oc­ cupations, Health Occupations, Home Economics Related Occupations and Office Oc­ cupations. The young people work in all types of businesses, and some of their activity was shown at the meeting through the use of slides. At the close of the year, employers from each of these training stations are invited to attend an employer-employee banquet, paid for by the clubs of each program. Board members were presented with a composite evaluation of all schools whose vocational education programs were rated during the 1971-72 school year by the state. Forty- one per cent of all schools evaluated in administrative organization were considered to be average, including McHenry high school. Another 33 per cent evaluated were considered above average.
