In Our Lounge Explorer Post 128 of Spring Grove recently took a 100-mile bike trip to raise funds for Easter Seal Therapy center. The Explorers raised ap proximately $375 for the center, the funds to be used in helping handicapped children and adults. The Explorers camped at Wildcat Mountain State park, which is located about 40 miles southeast of LaCrosse, Wi. They started their 100-mile venture early on Saturday morning from Wildcat Mountain and headed for the Elroy Sparta trail, which is part of the Wisconsin bikeway, but to their dismay the trail was closed because of the dry condition. Consequently, they had to take to the side roads with steep hills and winding roads. To make conditions worse, it was an overcast day and very cold with about 30- mile winds against them. Very tired and weary, the Explorers only manged to ride 65 miles on Saturday and returned to Wildcat just about the time most people would be watching the 10 o'clock news. On their return to camp, they were greeted with a hot chicken dinner by their advisor, James Lilla, and his assistant, Scott Proctor. To prove it was cold enough to chill the bones, they found ice on their water bottles Sunday morning. The Explorers involved were Dale Morin, Larry Morin, Jeff Lilla, , Dave Sanders, Dave Jones, Dan Stratford, Joe Cummings and Ron Dodd. The advisor, James Lilla, and his assistant, Scott Proctor, stayed at camp.' to prepare the meals. This was Explorer Post 128-s second bike trip for Easter Seal and it was equally as much fun as the first one of 300 miles last year.

The focus of Mrs. Newman's environmental classroom activities was in developing a curriculum designed to show children their interrelatedness to their watershed. Since West school is located almost ad jacent to the Kishwaukee creek, a water testing program was established in conjunction with the McHenry County Department of Health. Students in grades 3-6, who are interested in limnology and environmental cons., meet with Mrs. Newman and Mrs. Pat Floeter of the Health depart- Q. I bought a car and was told by a friend that the auto Mies tax I paid is deductible. H this is true, how do I claim the deduction? A. The auto sales tax you pay may be deducted, but only if you itemize on Schedule A, Form 1040. The sales tax paid on the auto may be added to the deduction you take for general sales tax using the optional sales tax table. <However, in states where the auto sales tax rate is higher than the general sales tax rate, you may deduct only that part of the auto sales tax equal to the tax levied at the general sales tax rate. Q. An eye doctor prescribed eyeglasses for me. I know that the doctor's fee is deductible, but can I deduct the cost of the eyeglasses and transportation? 1 A. The^fiye examination and eyeglasses are considered medical treatment, and the cost of the eyeglasses may be a medical de duction. The deduction may be claimed when you itemize your deductions on Schedule A, Form 1040. The ex pense is deducted only in the year you paid it, and you must keep a careful record of your expenses. In addition, the cost of transpor tation to and frbH> the doctor's of fice is deductible. For more information, see IRS Pyblitation 502, Deduction for /Medical and Dental Expenses, available at most IRS offices. y When I cashed certificates of deposit before the due date. I had to forfeit some interest as a penal ty. Should I include the interest lost, when I report on Form 1040 the interest paid to me by the bank? i A. You njusf report all" interest paid to you during the year you made the premature withdrawal of your certificates of deposit, without subtracting the interest lost. Then, the amount of interest lost as a penalty for premature withdrawal is reported on Form 1040, in arriving at your adjusted gross income. This deduction is taken even though you do not itemize deductions. mm CHOIR PERFORMS - 8t Gregory's Anglican elementary choir school members are shown prior to singing at the 10 o'clock service Sunday morning at St. Paul's Episcopal church. Tliere are about twenty students in the school who come from different parts of Chicago, using public transportation to attend. Every day at noon they sing the Eucharist. Father Whitehouse. head master, is shown helping the boys with their choir robes. After the service they were served lunch in the midst of the remains of a very successful basaar. ment, to make water samplings in the creek. Twice a year (Spring and Fall) 24-hour testing sessions are held. These tests include dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrate, flow, depth, temperature, micro-organism and bacteria counts. This data, along with a daily temperature and rainfall figures, are graphed and recorded by student committees. At least one field trip a year is planned to a public office or facility, such as the local sewage treatment plant or the fish hatchery in Spring Grove to learn more about their role in controlling the environment. Another activity Mrs. Newman is planning and supervising is the beautification of the West school grounds. Each classroom is participating in the planning, preparation, planting and caring for a designated area surrounding the school.

You and your pet By TED KAVANAUGH, DIRECTOR, ALPO PET NEWS BUREAU Pets of U.S. Presidents: Silent Cal's Dogs The Calvin Coolidge years were noted for tranquility and for White House dogs that were almo6t as famous as Lad die Boy, the purebred Airedale owned by his predecessor, President Harding. "Silent Cal" and the First Lady loved pets. They had many varieties including song birds, a donkey, cats, a pet raccoon, and the Coolidge dogs which attracted the frequent attention of news photograph ers. Best known were Rob Roy, a white Scotch Collie; Pru dence Prim, another white Collie; Peter Pan, a wire haired terrier; and Paul Pry, the Airedale half-brother to Laddie Boy. Rob Roy was known as Osh- kosh before becoming a Cool idge family dog. Mrs. Coolidge was so impressed by his mag nificent appearance that she renamed him Rob Roy, after a character in a Sir Walter Scott novel. A strongly built dog, the Scotch Collie breed has been used for many years in Alaska for herding reindeer. A Coffee-Drinking Dog Rob Roy was fond of cofiTee. When he appeared at social gatherings where guests were unaware of that, the President would calmly pour some coffee In his saucer while, his guests watched in astonishment, un til they realized it was poured for Rob Roy. Prudence Prim, the beauti ful female white Collie, had finer, more graceful lines than Rob Roy. A favorite compan ion of the First Lady, she was so elegant that photographers pleaded for poses with her mistress. Prudy's mariners were equally elegant. At the Cool- idge's frequent garden parties, she gracefully accepted every-" one's admiration, mingling with guests as graciously as the hostess.

JACKSON ST. BELVIDERE, ILL WOODSTOCK. ILL Phone S44-2678 Phone 338-0334 Peter Pan was a pedigreed terrier whose nature was a little too nervous to cope with all the people and activities of a busy environment. He took his guardian duties too seriously and would nip at the heels of workmen and other strangers around the grounds. Eventually, he was given to a family friend where the home life was more to his liking. Paul Pry also came to the Coolidges with a different name, Laddie Buck. Aside from its similarity to Harding's Laddie Boy, Mrs. Coolidge de cided to call him Paul Pry. She Is said to have chosen it because the young Airedale always had his nose in every body's business. However, he grew too exhuberant and was given a more fitting home as a Marine Corps mascot.
