Dons Low and her husband Walt, returned home after a well deserved vacation in sunny Florida. They spent many weeks there with friends, Bob and Gayle Laursen of McHenry. They also enjoyed visiting friends in Brooksville, Fla , and Haines City, Fla. and spent a day at Circus World. They spent some time on Chokoloskee Island, where Walt's) brother. Bob and Sue Low of McHenry spent some time too. It was cold and rainy that week, Doris adds, and she remembers sitting in the sun with "goose bumps". Doris, You should have seen our goose pumps here! The four wanderers spent most of their time .at St.. James City (Lakewood Travel resort) on Pine Island, which is in the Ft. Meyers area. The fellows did a lot of fish ing but didn't get the "big one" They however catch many to eat and a real variety of kinds. That sounds like camping up north doesn't it? Catching your fish right out of the lake and frying it up on the camp fire that same day, makes me hungry And, as usual, the stories, of "the one that got away" and "those rare breeds", kept the dinner conversation sparkling with laughter. Doris went on to say that the fishing was poor all over because of the cool weather; the freeze had killed many fish as well as much of the fruit CTOD. The girls spent much time sight seeing, and by the lovely collection of shells Doris showed me, they were really busy shell collecting and pine cone collecting too. Dorothy and Glenn Benoy spent a few days with the Lows also. Glenn was reported to have caught the big one that got away, but thats all right cause maybe it was Jaws. --They also saw Lois and "vern Wagner from Hayward, Wis. They seem to be related to a few folks around the Ringwood area and know even a few more. Homecoming brought many visitors this weekend for the Lows; Sue Matey and kids from Woodstock, Walt and Alice May, Woodstock, Pam and Dan and the kids from Elkorn, Wis., Bob and Sue Low and Mable Thomas of McHenry and of course son Ray.

MARCH «, lttl GIFTS People often ask whether a gift is taxable either to the giver or the receiver. The answer is that a person may give $3,000 to any other person without incurring taxable liability. Parents may give their child $6,000 annually (for $3,000 each) without making 'waves. Anything over that amount COOLING AIR If you're planning on in stalling air conditioning this spring, consider these energy- saving recommendations. Window air conditioners should be placed on the cool or north side of the house if possible. If you are installing central air conditioning, the compressor-condenser unit located outside the home should be shaded. Also con sider installing an attic ex haust fan. I TNI 1 is taxable to the donor. Not many of us have $3,000 to give away, but we often forget the little things we have donated: clothing and furniture to charitable organizations; mileage ($.09 a mile) for charitable purposes; toll telephone calls for charities; the spare change you drop into a collection can on the street corner; the amount you pay for Girl Scout cookies in excess of what you could buy them for in the grocery store; the amount of theater subscription tickets in ex cess of the door price of tickets; the cost of ingredients used in making baked goods for bake sales; the cost of materials used in making items, for bazaars, and so on. All it requires is keeping a diary or log book. Remember, however, that the things you buy at bake sales and bazaars and the raffle tickets you buy for good causes are not deductible, because you are receiving something for your money.
