McCullom Lake Mildred Watson 385-3585 Bruce Thacker Begins Boot Camp At Great Lakes Bruce Thacker left Wed­ nesday April 18 for the Great Lakes Naval Training Center to begin six weeks of Boot Camp. He took advantage of the Navy delayed enlistment a short time back. After his boot training he will begin studies as a dental technician. The dental technician assists the dental officer in all phases of dental work. VILLAGE NEWS To the many people who phoned me about the Civil Defense Organization in the village. The civil defense director is Marie Sladeck. The civil defense organization in the village of McCullom Lake consists of all the elected of­ ficials, the chief of police, an appointed director and a temporary assistant. The. organization should include more people, more on this later. Having a director insures the village of federal assistance in the event of a disaster, I'm sure all you readers understand the importance of the civil defense organization. All warnings of impending disaster come thru the local police and the office of civil defense. We hope there will be enough volunteers available to help in case of emergency. Please if you are called upon to volunteer your services, remember there are no dues to pay, no meetings to attend after the first briefing, just a willingness to help when needed. The election is over and George Luto emerged as the winner, for the office of president of the village. The voting turnout was good, one of the best in years. To have a better understanding between the village board and residents, attend the board meetings, this is what it will take and nothing else. The meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, at 8 p.m. in the beach-house. BENEFIT PERFORMERS ~ Smiley, the clown, in the person of Michelle Schroeder, and a member of the chorus, Maribeth Karas, are showing just how colorful the benefit show, "Tickle-Me-Pink" will be. The musical comedy revue features almost 100 performers from McHenry, Chicago, Waukegan, Round Lake, Deerfield and other area communities.

Director and writer of the show is Alyce Schroeder of 5000 Fountain lane, McCullom Lake, for six years an aerialist and motorcycle rider with the Ringling Brothers circus. She also assisted with the costume and makeup departments of the circus. The time of the presentation is 8:15; the dates, April 28 and 29, and the place, West campus. The group has been presenting programs for area organizations for some time. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD New Collection Of Fraudulently Cashed Checks Told Comptroller George W. Lindberg said this week he has developed a process that will permit the state to collect a $250,000 backlog from 2,000 fraudulently cashed state checks. "The money can now be collected by the State Treasurer from the person who cashed the checks for the forger," Lindberg said, "because the second endorser is liable. "We worked closely with the Treasurer's Banking division to eliminate this problem and a new process was developed in the Comptroller's office by our personnel to allow the Treasurer to clearly pinpoint the second endorser.

UKM*- y efts Ask L i toul CCS This column of questions and answers on federal tax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q. I filed my return just before the April 16th deadline. When can I expect my refund? A. If there are no mistakes on your return that might delay processing, it normally takes about six weeks after a return is filed. It might take a little longer to get your refund, how­ ever, due to the large volume of returns filed in April. Q. Through my own fault, I wrecked my car. I don't have insurance to cover the damage. Can I deduct this loss on my 1973 return? A. Yes. If you itemize your de­ ductions, damage to your car caused by an auto accident is deductible as a casualty loss whether or not it resulted from the faulty driving of either driver, as long as it was not caused by your willful negli­ gence. Remember, a personal cas­ ualty loss may be deducted only to the extent it exceeds $100. For more details, see IRS Publication 547, "Tax In­ formation on Disasters, Cas­ ualty Losses and Thefts." It's available free by writing your Internal Revenue district office. Q. I just found out that I could have deducted the actual sales tax on the new car I purchased last year, in addition to the amount shown in the sales tax tables of my 1040 instructions. Can I still claim this deduc­ tion? A. Yes. Just file a Form 1040X which is designed to amend a previously filed return. On this form, you simply recompute the portion that has changed from your original return and send it, along with any neces- sary information, to the ad­ dress shown in your 1040X in­ structions. Your amended re­ turn must be filed within three years from the date your orig­ inal return was filed (a return filed early is considered to have been filed on the due date), or within two years from the time the tax was paid, whichever is later. Forms 1040X are available at any IRS office. Q. I dropped some old clothes off at my church. Can I deduct the value of these clothes as a charitable contribution? A. Yes. If you itemize your de­ ductions, used clothing is de­ ductible as a charitable con­ tribution to the extent of its fair market value at the time of the gift. Remember, you can also de­ duct your cost of transporting the clothes to the church. interest was lost during the backlog period," Lindberg said, "because the state could not collect money it was en­ titled to, then invest it ap­ propriately." The backlog will be-like best, eliminated by mid-May, the Comptroller said. Federal Reserve bank personnel in Chicago have approved methods used to solve t h e s e c o n d - e n d o r s e r readability problem. Most of the state checks involved cleared through the Federal Reserve System. Lindberg said he is in­ v e s t i g a t i n g m i c r o f i l m techniques to prevent any future backlog on state collection of forged check money. Origin of the backlog was microfilm record equipment put into use eighteen months ago that did not yield a photographic reproduction sufficiently clear to identify the second endorser on a check, Lindberg said. | -reme de , [ Manthe i irr»sw* 1 Mohawk or Mr. Boston Connoisseur\ "FRUIT BRANDIES or CORDIALS 98 Fifth AMERICAN 5 STAR BRANDY V2 Gal.
