Two bills to expand the present state property tax relief program for senior citizens and those disabled according to Social Security passed the Illinois House Thursday by overwhelming majorities. The bills resulted from recommendations of a special House Revenue sub committee composed of State Representatives Cal Skinner, Jr., J. David Jones and Joe Lundy, which held hearings in both McHenry and Belvidere to get input from 33rd district residents. The present "circuit breaker" property tax relief program administered by the state Department of Revenue will be expanded about 45 percent according to Skinner. "Last year, about $20.6 million was spent to reimburse senior citizens and disabled home owners and renters for property taxes they paid. Only about 45 percent of those eligible applied, however. "The formula was and remains a complicated one, but it basically said that if one's property taxes or one-fourth of one's rent was greater than 6-7 percent of one's income, a grant would be forthcoming. "What the legislature .has done is lower the triggering percentage to the 4 percent level. In other words, if one's income or applicable rent exceeds 4 percent of one's income, then one should apply for a state rebate. There is another feature of the formula to make it somewhat progressive, but it's too difficult to explain in a newspaper article. "Under the new formula a person with an income of $5,000 and property taxes of $500 could expect to receive a rebate of about $250. Under the old formula, that person would have only received about $180," Skinner explained. "The second bill in the subcommittee package was a proposal that will prevent any senior citizen from being taxed out of his or her home. It will allow any senior to defer property taxes until death. The only conditions are that the individual must have an income of less than $10,000 and 6 percent simple interest must eventually be paid by the person's estate on the deferred taxes. "With passage of these bills, Illinois will have the most comprehensive property tax spurgeons | - A, Sunday ] Ploutex Summer SriLE!

Preceding the meeting a pot-luck dinner was served. President Smith opened the meeting with a salute to the flag and a patriotic hymn was sung. Minutes pertaining to the installation of officers on May 15 and minutes of the board meeting on May 20 were read and approved. Dorothy Orsolini acting as treasurer in the absence of Treasurer Jean Lay read ttffe treasurer's report, it was approved as read. Sunshine Chairman Emma Kattner gave a report on members who had been ill and the remembrances sent to them. It was decided that $15. be placed in the fund to replenish it. President Smith explained the redis trie ting plan as set up by the Illinois Federation of Woman's clubs at the Convention in May. A new fourth district was created which includes McHenry, Boone and W i n n e b a g o C o u n t i e s . According to a new ruling from the State Federation, county federations are no longer recognized as a separate group. On June 5, representatives of all Woman's Clubs in McHenry County met at the home of county treasurer, Eleanor Storrs in Solon Mills and at this meeting the McHenry County Federation of Women's Clubs was regretfully disbanded. However, those present still felt the need of an organization in the county, so it was decided to continue with the same county officers and adopt the same by­ laws, but it will be known as Representatives of McHenry County Women's Clubs. The LCWC will be a member of this organization. The first official meeting of District 4 will be held in Algonquin on Monday, Sept. 301 relief proposals in the nation," Skinner claimed. "Local government grants the Homestead exemption of $1,500 off everyone's assessed valuation. That's worth $75 to $100 in our area, depending on the local tax rate. "State government offers the 'circuit breaker' relief to those most in need, with average grants of $156 before the 45 percent expansion in coverage. "Now, Illinois will be offering i. third alternative: total deferral of taxes after 65. No other state can match that package of relief," Skinner believes. A committee to revise and correct constitution and by­ laws jwas appointed. Those on the committee are Eva Freund? Dorothy Orsolini, Dolores Effefsen. The trees that had been donated by the club to the fire department were planted in front of the fire house that day. It was in agreement with the club by motion that the budget for the coming year be set up by the board of directors. Cemeteries in the area that are neglected will be a project of the club to obtain help from various organizations, such as scouts, 4-H, etc. Chairman for the September party were selected, they are Frances Heinemann, Erma Raeder, Arleen Kruger, Dolores Ellefsen, Dorothy Orsolini, Tippy Klein and Eva Freund. Meeting was closed with the reciting of a poem by the president. PRESIDENT'S CLUB INSTALLATION At a recent meeting of the President's Club held at the Timber's, Woodstock, Mrs. Arthur (Tip) Klein was awarded the gold past president's pin for her dedication and willingness to always help during her term of office. Following a luncheon, installation of officers was held with Frances Heinemann as installing officer. New officers are Tekla Seitz, President frpm Cary; Pauline Horak, Vice- President from Spring Grove; Margaret Powers, Recording Secretary from Richmond and Wanda Todd, Treasurer from Richmond.

Postmaster Gives Mail Tips To Vacationers These tips to help vacationers enjoy trouble-free mailing of letters and post cards while on their holiday were offered this week by Postmaster LeRoy Smith. "Mail as early as possible in the day, preferably in the morning," he said. "Avoid mailing on weekends when many post offices are closed. And try to deposit cards in mailboxes that indicate an^ early pickup." He also suggested: Buy enough stamps before leaving home to prevent running out far away from the nearest post office. Keep in mind that stamps are more expensive when purchased from commercial vending machines. Always use sufficient postage. For first-class cards, use an 8-cent stamp if the post card is not larger than the standard 4V4 x 6 inches size. For Jumbo Cards, 10-cent stamps are required. For airmail, use an 11-cent stamp on standard post cards and 13- cents for jumbo cards. As a general rule, use airmail stamps only when the mailing distance is 600 miles or more. Remember to use zip codes. Many times cards are addressed hurriedly while riding in cars, trains or planes. Legible zip codes will help spdfed mail to its proper destination. Keep this trick in mind: Type the addresses of friends and relatives on self-adhesive labels before you leave home. It is surprising how much time this saves on the road and how much neater those cards will look. Another Note: Don't forget about personal mail back home. Remember to ask a friend or neighbor to empty the mailbox daily and to hold the mail until you return. An overstuffed box in your absence is an open invitation for thieves to enter your temporarily unoccupied home. However, if you prefer, you can fill out a form available from the post office and request that your mail be held for any period up to thirty days. If you choose this method, be sure to specify when you want your mailman to resume home delivery. "The best way to insure a relaxing vacation comes from taking the necessary steps to make certain that everything- including the mail-is in good order back home", Postmaster Smith said. ^ ifs th^ t im e ^ain .
