Or Jhaybe it's easier to accept if the killer % a fellow American and it happens while we're enjoying ourselves. " Well, some of the fun for the drunk is going to be over as the last page is turned on the calendar year of 1961. n Governor Thompson has recognized that "our nine-year-old law has not been effective." Drunken drivers have been getting off because of loopholes in the current state law. But at midnight Dec. 31, drivers who may be tempted to have "one too many" are warned that a new drunk driving law goes into effect. * One of the main provisions is the abolishment of the 90-minute waiting period for a suspect to decide whether tb submit to a test for alcohol or drugs, or both. Another increases the penality for first refusal to take the test from a three-month to a six-month suspension of a driver's license. The present law did what so many others do - it "bent over backward" to safeguard individual rights. Un fortunately, in the process, 1,000 residents of Illinois lost all their rights when they lost *heir lives last year - all because of drunk drivers. KAF PREDICT STATIC ENROLLMENT to J (Continued from page 1) to $ie 1990's by an increase in the number ff live births which has shown up in •ecent statistics reported by the DECEMBER 31.1181 National Center for Health Statistic- s...This increase parallels the live birth data for the City of McHenry..." Based on these figures the Illinois State Board of Education predicted "slight increases in high school enrollment from 1991-1999, as children of post WWII 'baby boom' families attend school." These national live birth figures show 3,144,000 in 1975, increasing to an estimated 3,850,000 in 1965. For McHenry county, live birth figures go from 1,995 in 1970 to 2,480 in 1979. For the city, these numbers read 146 for a rate of 21.6 per 1,000 population for 1960 and increased to 266 for a rate 26.1 per 1,000 for 1979. Births in the township reached 396 for the same year. The report indicates that by working from the historical birth rates, the impact of the increasing birth rate on future enrollments can be factored in with appropriate formulas. Included in the study was a table of figures released by the McHenry county regional superintendent of schools showing the public school enrollments and the number of teachers in the county from the year 1969-70 to 1960-81. In 1969-70 there were 26,044 students and 1,209 teachers, which count increased in 1980-81 to 27,675 students and 1,839 teachers.

Effective January 1,1982 ' ' (m Weltered xne Now xtcially Secure ement Later. ) Aft Marengo Federal Savings you can do both with an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and a Keogh Retirement Plan. rment Account (IRA) The primary advantage of the IRA is that taxes on both principal and interest are deferred until you begin drawing on the account during your retirement years. And because those are the years when your tax bracket is likely to be much lower than it is now, the tax bite should be much less. Now every wage earner qualifies. Every wage earner qualifies for an IRA account even if you are already covered by an existing retire ment plan. And that's not all. You can shelter more of your income than ever before --100% of earned income or $2,000 (whichever is less). If you're a couple --each earning wages --you could shelter as much as $4,000 of your income (or $2,000 each) every year. If there's a non- working spouse, the maximum that can be sheltered is $2,250 per year. Other IRA facts you ought to know about. The new law governing IRAs will apply initially to your 1982 tax return. You will be eligible to withdraw funds from your IRA when you reach the age of 59/2. You are required to begin withdrawing funds when you reach age 70/2. Premature withdrawals could result in substantial penalties. KEOGH Retirement Plan [A pian tor self-employed men and women.) If you're self-employed you can build a retirement fund by setting aside up to 15% or $15,000 (whichever is less) of tax-deferred income each year during your peak earning years. Every dollar you deposit in your Keogh account can be deducted from your taxable income. And you pay no taxes on principal or interest until you begin withdrawing funds during your retirement years. Even if you qualify for a Keogh Plan you may also open an Individual Retirement Account. i Imagine having a nest egg of several hundred thousand dollars to enjoy during your retirement years!
