Edmund Burke After twenty years in the Air Force, Jerry Hinderlider found he didn't have the training to get a good job in business despite his years as a technical sergeant in law enforcement. So he joined a lot of other veterans as a student at McHenry Cqunty college to study accounting. For Becky Zanck, a former lance corporal in the Marines, MCC offers a chance to learn about psychology and art and to prepare for a job she plans to seek when her children are older Mrs. Zanck and Hinderlider are among 383 students at­ tending MCC under the G.L bill Howard Miller, veterans coordinator at the college, explains many people criticize the veterans aid programs as a refuge for "long-haired kids cheating the government." But, Miller points out, many of the veterans at MCC don't fit the stereotype and most need the college to help them get adequate training to find good jobs. Both Mrs. Zanck and Hin: derlider live in Woodstock. She left the Marines in 1969 after two years working in electonics while she was stationed in South Carolina and California, not interested in electronics as a career, Mrs. Zanck decided to study psychology with hopes of getting into work in the social services She has been a student at MCC for three semesters on a part-time basis and hopes to carry more courses in the fall when her children will both be in school. Hinderlider has been at MCC for five semesters and is completing work on an associate in applied science degree in accounting. While he originally planned to work in law enforcement as a civilian when he retired from' the Air force, he found his age was a barrier because few police departments will hire anyone older than thirty-five. "When I got out the economy was bad and I found I didn't have enough education behind me to get a good job in another field. I called Howard Miller at the college and registered for classes," Hinderlider said. While he was in the Air Force Hinderlider was stationed in Germany for a total of fourteen years, in Vietnam for one year, and spent the other five years in Alabama, Illinois and South Dakota. He did not find the transition to civilian life difficult, he said, because the Air force is not as strict or as full of military regulations as the other ser­ vices. One benefit is that he no longer has to worry about moving every few years. Both Hinderlider and Mrs. Zanck talked about how easy it is to fit in at MCC. "It's nice to come here and see people who aren't all eighteen years old. There's such a wide variety of people here," Mrs. Zanck said. Hinderlider praises the in­ formality at MCC and the small classes which allow a student to work closely with instructors. He said he gets little reaction to his veteran status at the college. "There are a lot of us around here," he noted. For Mrs. Zanck the reaction of fellow students is a little more apparent, but she notes that the situation is much more "comfortable" than when she was recieving her Marine Corps electronics training PS the only woman in the The woman who hen- pecks her husband is like­ ly to find him listening to some other chick. -Gosport, Pensacola.

The Law Serves You for your child's safety New Laws Affect Income Tax For 1976 Several important changes in the tax laws will affect tax­ payers preparing their returns for 1976. The Illinois State Bar Association has devised the following checklist to assist in the preparation of returns. 1. Carefully read instructions to learn how the new tax laws may affect you. 2. Review your checkbook and paid receipts to collect records of all possible deductions. Total all deductions to see if they are greater than the standard deduction, which has been increased this year to $2400 for single persons, $2800 for married persons filing jointly and for surviving spouses, and $1400 for married persons filing separate returns. 3. A general tax credit is available to all taxpayers, up to a maximum of $180. Also check for other credits available for the elderly, for child care or disabled dependent care, for low income taxpayers, and for political contributions. Credits, which reduce the actual amount of the tax owed, are available whether or not the taxpayer itemizes deductions. 4. If you itemize deductions, remember to deduct last year's Illinois income tax, other ap­ plicable taxes, health care insurance premiums and health care expenses, interest payments, charitable con­ tributions, alimony payments (but not child support), work related educational expenses, union dues, special work clothing, and casualty or theft losses. 5. Complete the federal return first, and then begin the Illinois income tax return, since the Illinois return is based on the income reported on the federal return. 6. Carefully check your arith­ metic. and make sure all ap­ plicable blanks are filled in correctly. The IRS reports that the majority of mistakes that delay the processing of returns are small technical errors. 7 Remember to attach the necessary W-2 forms to both the federal and state returns, and sign the returns. The Illinois State Bar association says if you are uncertain about preparing your return, you should seek professional assistance. If you have questions or need copies of tax forms, contact the In­ ternal Revenue Service.

Both^ mother and child are laugh­ ing and splashing, thoroughly enjoying themselves. Sudden­ ly the telephone rings, and the young woman rushes to answer it. Unattended, the baby drowns within seconds. "This sad story is not as uncommon as many of us would like to believe," warns Dr. Albert H. Domm, child safety specialist and former medical director of the Pru­ dential Insurance Company. According to Dr. Domm, a great num­ ber of in­ fants are the victims of bathroom mishaps. Dr. Domm cau­ tions par­ ents to be ever-raind - ful that it Dr. Albert takes only H. Doii a few short seconds for a child's tiny lungs to fill up with water. "Never leave a child alone in the bathtub, even for an instant." He also advises parents to test the temperature of the bath with their elbow before placing the baby in the tub. "Parents who overlook this simple step are placing their toddler in danger of being scalded," points out Dr. Domm. He recommends a throw- rug for the bathroom floor and a rubber mat for the bottom of the tub to guard against slips and falls. Electrical shock is another potential bathroom hazard. Dr. Domm warns that no elec­ trical outlet or appliance should be within a child's reach in the bathtub. LICENSE REVOKED For the first time, the Illinois Department of Registration and Education has initiated action to revoke the license of a real estate broker for renting apartments in slum buildings. The action was initiated by filing a formal complaint against the Skokie real estate broker for renting apartments in four buildings which allegedly contained "numerous Municipal code violations" and had conditions which "en­ dangered the health and safety of inhabitants". The complaint alleges that by renting the apartments when he knew they were in an unsafe and unhealthy condition, the owner violated the property management rule of the Department's rules and Regulations for the ad­ ministration of the Real Estate Brokers and Salesmen act. "The action could have a significant effect on the management of slum buildings throughout the state," said Joan G. Anderson, acting director of the department. m mm GALLON Get Paint Tray Roller Set Hardware
