According to Department of Conservation figures, boating ranks high among favorite summer pastimes with nearly 250,000 watercraft registered within Illinois. ' With this in mind the Illinois State Bar association would like to remind boat enthusiasts of various rules' which the law provides. Registration - Owners of pleasure motorboats and sailboats over twelve feet in length must apply to the Department of Conservation for a certificate number. If the application is approved, a number will be mailed to the applicant and will be valid for two years. This certificate must be available for in­ spection on the boat at all times when the boat is in operation. Equipment * The law man­ dates that specific equipment be provided on various classes of boats. Examples of required equipment are: Life preservers which meet U.S. Coast Guard standards: All boats, including canoes and kayaks, must have at least one such floatation device on board for each person. Lights are required on every boat when under way between the hours of sunset and sunrise. The type of light needed is determined by the particular size and style of the boat and again,, must meet U.S. Coast Guard standards. At least one fire extinguisher is required on board all motorboats regardless of the size of the motor. It is unlawful to operate any motorboat without a whistle, horn or other device which can produce a blast of two seconds or more and be audible for at least one-half mile. Age of Operators - As of January 1, 1978, certain age limitations were placed on motorboat operation. No person under ten years of age may operate any motorboat in Illinois. Persons ten and eleven must have an adult in the boat with them and persons age twelve through seventeen must either have an adult in the boat with them or must have at- teneded an eight hour course in boat safety instruction con­ ducted by a certified instructor. Boat safety courses are given in many communities (through schools, private clubs or other organizations) by certified instructors from the Depart­ ment of Conservation, American Red Cross, U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Power Squadron. The Illinois State Bar association urges boat owners to obtain comprehensive in­ formation pertaining to boat regulation from the Depart­ ment of Conservation. The operator of a boat-owned, rented or borrowed - is responsible for seeing that the boat is properly, equipped. Area Camp In 72nd Season United Charities' Camp Algonquin will launch its seventy-second summer camping season with a session for mothers and children beginning Friday, June 29. Over 900 campers from the metropolitan Chicago area will participate in programs at Algonquin this year. Camp Algonquin is located on the banks of the Fox river, between Algonquin and Cary. The 85-member camp staff provides leadership in such activities as crafts, swimming, hiking, boating and other sports and games. In addition, the campers make new friends from many different backgrounds and cultures, share new experiences and develop new insights and skills that help them cope with the problems of everyday life. Counseling services both before and after camp sessions provide continuity between camp and city experiences and are part of the on-going social service thrust of United Charities. Of the campers, about 850 will be mothers and children attending one of the four 12-day sessions between June 29 and Aug. 22. Ninety senior citizens will be at camp during two sessions in late August and early September. United Charities has operated Camp Algonquin since 1907. In 1909, the site was donated to the agency.

"Caveat emptor"--or more plainly, "let the buyer beware" -- is particularly sound advice for homeowners contemplating improvement work on their dwellings by un­ known contractors. The home improvement business has spawned a multi- million dollar racket among unscrupulous fly-by-night contractors who prey upon unsuspecting homeowners. "A homeowner must be constantly on the lookout for swindlers in the home im­ provement businev," warned Milt Nachbar, Director of Loss Control for CNA. "What may appear to be a respectable and reliable operation may be the complete opposite." Popular schemes, he said, include those dealing with driveway resurfacing, home re-siding, repair of leaky base­ ments, furnace inspecting or cleaning, termite extermina­ tion, swimming pool installa­ tion and landscaping. "The swindle may take the shape of one of several forms," Nachbar said. "The bait and switch technique is used frequently Whereby the customer is attracted to a service or product at a sub­ stantial savings only to have the salesman switch him to a supposedly higher csliber service or product at a con­ siderably greater price." 8till another favorite ploy used, he said, is "crew switch­ ing" whereby high pressure salesmen split into two crews and canvass opposite ends of a town selling products ranging from aluminum siding to wall-to-wall carpeting. Highly inflated prices are quoted by both crews with neither usually obtaining a sale. How­ ever, the crews then switch v h A PRICE YOU CAN AFFORD NOW! DON'T WAIT FOR A PRICE INCREASE!

MIKE O'BOYLE AND COMPANY TRI STATE HOMES OF LAKE AND McHENRY COUNTY Credentials Asked For IRS Employees Taxpayers should ask to see the credentials of any in­ dividual claiming to be an Internal Revenue Service employee, the IRS cautioned. From time to time, in­ dividuals pose as employees of the IRS to collect money for what these im posters refer to as unpaid taxes, according to the IRS. In almost every instance, taxpayers who owe money will receive written notification before being contacted in person by the IRS. In addition, every IRS employee who makes public contact carries distinctive identification, and is required to show it when conducting official business. Taxpayers who are unsure of the identity of the person presenting IRS credentials or who suspect the use of non­ standard procedures should call the IRS's Internal Security Division, Office of Regional Inspector, collect at fol2) 886- 5855. i H P O E T S C O R N E R !

Under this program, meals are served free to eligible children, who are selected without regard to race, sex, color or national origin. In addition to Camp Algonquin, United Charities offers family and financial counseling, legal aid, services for the aged and a social ad­ vocacy division. territories, soliciting the same households, ridiculing the high price quotes from the earlier crew and finally offering the same service at a much lower cost. Inevitably, homeowners will jump at the second offer, thinking it a bargain, he explained. 9 A checklist of warning signs to keep in mind and suggested follow-up action suggested by Nachbar: • Be leery of anyone claiming that he "just happens" to be in your neighborhood and "just hap­ pens" to have enough material left over from a job to perform the same service for you at a cut-rate price. • Ask to observe other jobs the company has done. • Ask for the salesman's name and that of the name and address of his company. Check with the local Better Business Bureau to verify his reputation. • Avoid high-pressure sales tactics and regard them as being a signal to stay away from sales pitches of this type. e Be skeptical of anyone offering a long-term guarantee on a product such as car­ peting, tile or siding that will last 20 to 30 years. (What company can guarantee that they'll be in business that long?) e Exercise caution in ac­ cepting any merchandise "on approval" from unknown salesmen. • Don't be persuaded into buying anything before you I WONDER I wonder what makes a deer so swift And makes a snail so slow I wonder what makes the grass so green And the sky a pale blue glow. I wonder how a bird can fly And how a fish can swim I wonder what makes a tree so tall And a flower so tiny and slim. I wonder what makes great beauty around Then makes something small and grim I wonder who makes things great and tall and how we are loved by Him. I wonder one day - in the future so dim If He will take me by the hand I wonder if I'll find out then About this wonderous land.

I see a child - a little boy On his way to a baseball game I see another • a little girl Is she on her way to fame? I see a woman -1 see a man Hurry along their way They all are busy and full of thought And they seem to live day by day Sometimes I wish they would stop to chat Then go on with a nod or a smile But they only glance - sometimes they wave As by my window they file.
