Jay and Marianne were married Feb. 9, 1952, at St. Mary's church in Woodstock. Their children. Debbie and Phil Johnson; Jay Michael and his Judee; Lee Ann and Patrick, who came home from the University of Illinois for the special weekend; Maureen, home from Northern Illinois university; Bob and Midge; along with Marianne's mother, Marion Draffkorn. planned and managed to keep the whole party a surprise.

STUDENTS ENTERTAIN On Wednesday, Feb. 16, the seventh grade Home Ec class at Harrison school prepared lunch for their fellow students and special guests, their parents. In addition to learning how to cook, they also wore shirts that they had made in sewing class. For the first time, Harrison students have been given an opportunity to use the facilities at Parkland school in MeHenry for a period in the morning during which time Mrs. Mary Cooper teaches the seventh grade Home Ec class and John Quick teaches the eighth grade Industrial Arts class. The learning experience has been both a stimulating and successful one for the cooks, sewers and wood workers. HAPPINESS IS... Happiness is...being proud of the youth of our community; in general - the eighth grade class of Harrison school, who, through their cooperative ef­ forts earned enough money with the Harrison Fun fair to pay for the expenses of their graduation exercises - and in particular, we're proud of eighth grader Brady Anderson, My parents gave me more than advice. "When it came time for me to leave home and start life on my own,<my parents gave me more than a handshake and advice. They gave me a $10,000 life insurance policy from Country Life. "They'd paid the premiums since I was an infant. Now I'll take care of the policy. But it's at a much lower rate than a new policy. "You know, life insurance was a nice way for Dad to help me out no matter where I make my home." Help your children with a gift that lasts a lifetime--life insurance from Country Life.

(R-Crystal Lake) has an­ nounced he has filed a bill to increase maxium benefits seniors and the disabled received under the "circuit breaker" property tax relief program. The bill also in­ creases the number of senior citizens eligible for state property tax and rent relief. The proposed legislation guarantees that no senior citizen making less than $15,000 will pay more than 4 percent of his or her household income in property taxes. Non- homeowners can use 30 percent of rent costs in lieu of property taxes to qualify for a cash grant. "By changing the qualifying income from $10,000 to $15,000, the bill proposes extending property tax and rent relief to over 90 percent of Illinois' senior citizens," Skinner pointed out. "Much more important, however, the legislation eliminates the maximum grant limitation (now set at $500 less 5 precent of household income). Under the maximum grant provision, most senior citizens were required to pay more than 4 percent of household income in property taxes. Seniors paying over 10 percent of household income for real estate taxes isn't all that rare," Skinner said. Commenting on financing the tax relief program. Skinner said: "We are all aware of the state's serious fiscal situation. However. I believe 1 have two alternatives which would provide the necessary funds for the program. "The first would be to repeal the sales tax relief bill ap­ proved two years ago which costs $26 million annually. The second is to impose a penny per container tax on all soft drinks. That tax would raise an estimated $35 million. "I believe the sales tax relief program is basically a give­ away program in which a senior receiving $9,999 in in­ come gets twice as much money as a senior with $500 annual income," Skinner stated."I believe my bill is much fairer to seniors and the disabled." Besides raising more than enough revenue, taxing soft drinks 1 cent per can or bottle would promote the use of re- fillable containers, and every time children or adults drink a can or bottle of soft drink, they will know that they are helping keep their grandparents from being taxed out of their Illinois home * The major cost of the two- part bill is for paying all of a senior's tax bill that exceeds 4 percent of his or her income. "Guaranteeing a senior's tax bill wouldn't go up unless his or her income increased will cost between $18 and $19 million," Skinner said. "Raising the $10,000 income ceiling to $15,000 raises the proposal's, cost only about $2.5 million." Skinner justified such an expansion in eligibility by pointing out that consumer prices have increased 43 percent since Governor Richard B. Ogilvie proposed the circuit breaker idea in spring of 1972. "Raising the maximum limit proportionately would mean seniors earning up to $14,300 would be eligible. By the time we get it passed and signed by Governor Thompson, economic forecasters predict that a $15,000 cut-off limit will be necessary to maintain parity." THE FAMILY OF JESUS V. Thai one said unto him, Behold, thy mother amWiv brethen stand without, desiring to speak with thee 1 |i;. But he answered and said unto him that told him Who is my mother: and who are my brethen?
