COMMUNITY CALENDAR Sponsored by Woman's Club of Wonder Lake, Ann Sowers, Chairman, 653-9549 DECEMBER 19 Cub Scout Pack Meeting and Households in the govern­ ment's survey of consumer expenditures will have their last opportunity during the next few months to tell Uncle Sam how much it costs to live these days. The nation-wide Consumer Expenditure survey, which began in January, 1972, will be completed in late spring. It is being conducted by the Bureau of the Census, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce's Social and Economic Statistics Administration. The survey in this area is administered from a field office in Chicago. Mrs. Joan Liedtke, office supervisor, says that households in the quarterly survey will be interviewed for the fifth and last time during Jer.uary-March this year.^. These households have beei)Tn the survey since January ,1973. Another group was also in the survey for five quarters, January 1972-March 1973. The Census Bureau is feting as data collection agent ftr the 1 Christmas Party, Christ the King Hall DECEMBER 21 Christmas Dance, Harrison School, 7th and 8th grades, 7 to 10 p.m. DECEMBER 27 Wonder Woods Women's Auxiliary Meeting, 8 p.m. U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Results of the survey will show what changes have occurred in the buying habits of the American people since the last survey was taken in 1960- 61-The up-to-date data will enable BLS to revise the "market basket" of goods and services in the Consumer Price, Index (CPI) to reflect current buying habits of American consumers. Price changes for items in the market basket are measured monthly by BLS and are reflected in the CPI each month. The Chicago office ad­ ministers the survey program in the metropolitan areas °* Chicago and Rockford, 111., and Gary-Hammon-East Chicago, Ind. A sample of about 1,250 households in these areas will have been interviewed during the course of the survey. They are part of 17,000 nation-wide sample households. A separate group of households in the same areas, among 19,000 throughout the U.S., is taking part in a survey of day-to-day expenditures, part of the overall program. This Diary survey asks about everyday purchases such as snacks, haircuts, gas for cars, bus fares, baby sitting, dry cleaning, and so forth, ex­ penditures that can't be recalled accurately for even a short time. • Each Diary Survey household is asked to keep a daily record of expenditures for two consecutive seven-day periods. Census interviewers drop off and pick up record keeping forms each period. This survey is expected to continue into June of this year. The households, in both the quarterly and the Diary Sur­ vey, have been scientifically selected to provide a cross section of America's households. All information reported is held in strict con­ fidence. The interviewers are residents of the county in which they work. Each carries an official identification card with the bearer's photograph and signature. A good example of arrested motion is any gal entering her late twenties. PAGE .VFLAINDEALKK WlDNKSDAY.

RTA VOTE > "To the Editor: u "I'm a Democrat who reads £ the papers closely. I wonder Lhow many of your other readers, Democrats and Republicans, noticed that our Democratic State Represen- ! tative, Thomas J. Hanahan of j McHenry, did not vote on the : RTA bill. I'm told he was on j vacation in Puerto Rico or some other sunny spot when the • heat was on in Springfield. '• < "Representatives Skinner •f and Waddell and Senator Schaffer, our other representatives in the 33rd district, were there. In fact, everyone else in the six-county RTA area outside Chicago was | * there except one Represen- j tative who was in a hospital. "Our Representatives in Springfield are paid $17,500 a j year for part-time work, plus a i handsome expense allowance, ' plus an allowance of $10,000 for an office and supplies to get their work done and keep their constituents informed. This is *good pay, for which we should ^expect problem-solving representation and leadership 7 for our District in public af­ fairs. We don't pay them to duck out when hard decisions must be made. "The vote on RTA was very close. It could have gone either way. It was a tough decision, perhaps the most important in years. We should have had a voice in that decision. Mr. Hanahan should have been on the job. "Jgven though it's too late, I'd still like to know how Mr. Hanahan would have voted. "Sincerely yours, "Dr. Robert L.
