PAGE 15 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY. DECEMBER 31. 198? St. Mary's Church, Mc Henry, 111. (>h>0-r .r * *. ->i «#•* REMEMBERING WHEN-This was St. Mary church, Richmond road, McHenry, before it was destroyed by fire just prior to 1920. Note the high steeple which was a feature of the early church. Alvin Baur, who supplied the Plaindealer with this picture postcard, said his family was gardening when the Borden Milk plant whistle blew. Residents of the city could determine the location of a fire by the number of limes the whistle blew: one for West McHenry, two for Centerville (Green street) and three for the east side. The present structure replaced the church destroyed in the blaze of more than 60 years ago. Recruit Tax-Aide Counselor For Seniors Volunteers are needed to offer their services in the free Tax-Aide-Tax Counseling for the Elderly program of the American Association of Retired Persons in order to assist older tax­ payers in preparing their Federal Income Tax returns. Millions of elderly Americans pay more federal "income tax than the law requires, ^according to the U.S. Senate Special ^Committee on Aging, which found that ns many as half of the 65-or-older ixpayers may have overpaid their ixes in one ret^afA'yfeari^ JA Volunteer tax counselors are leeded in the McHenry area to assist )lder persons in filing income tax Sforms, according to Francis Rutz, • who is serving as northern Illinois {district coordinator for Tax-Aide-Tax Counseling for the Elderly. Additional volunteer tax counselors are needed so that more elderly persons may receive free tax service at neigh­ borhood sites in the Chicago area. AARP, with its 13.5 million mem­ bers, is the nation's largest organization dedicated to helping retired persons achieve lives of in­ dependence, dignity and purpose. \ Tax-Aide, a community service of AARP, is conducted in cooperation with, the Internal Revenue Service. It provides free income tax advice to older taxpayers. Rutz said that persoons volun­ teering to serve as counselors should have a sincere interest in serving older adults and have a basic knowledge of tax matters. They also should be willing to participate in a five-day Internal Revenue Service training course and agree to devote at least four hours a week during the day to provide tax counseling. Volunteer counselors do not have to be members of AARP. "Since the training course em­ phasizes tax benefits for older adults and not general tax return preparation, those volunteers who prepare their own tax returns and then take the IRS course, usually make very good counselors," he said. The IRS training course for volunteers will be held in January. The local Tax-Aide program will offer assistance to older residents at convenient neighborhood locations in the Chicago area from February until April 15. Persons interested in finding out more about serving as tax counselors may call AARP Area V office at (312) 298-2852 from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. week days. Highway Bill Brings Transportation Funds Senator Charles H. Percy, (R-Ill.) has announced that as a result of the Highway bill passed by the Senate, Illinois will gain more federal tran­ sportation funding than ever. Under the nickel-a-gallon tax increase package, Illinois will receive an ad­ ditional $1.2 billion to $1.6 billion in highway, bridge and transit funding over the next four years. "It's time our transportation dollars were brought home for the con­ struction and repair of highways and bridges in Illinois," Percy said. "Now for every dollar of federal highway taxes raised in Illinois, $1.43 will be returned to the state in federal high­ way improvements." Of the $1.2 billiion to $1.6 billion in additional federal funding for Illinois, $800 million to $1.2 billion will be targeted for highway and bridge construction and repair, and ap­ proximately $400 million will be used for transit operations and transit capital improvements.

RETREAD INSTEAD You don't have to replace worn-out tires with new ones. You can join the millions who are saving a bundle on new tire costs by buying retreads. Nearly one out of five replacement passenger car tires sold is a retread. A retreaded tire can take the high­ ways at the same speedr as a new tire can. Because of the state-of-the-art in manufacturing retreads, most people find a retreaded passenger tire a more extensive warranty comparable new passenger carries that a tire. Gary S. Boelter, 1615 North Ave., possession of open liquor in a motor vehicle. David L. Greenwood, 2523 W. Knob Sill, pbsfe'6ss!on of 6pen liquor in otor vehicle. Robert M. Mealer, 3808 Buchanan, possession of open liquor in a motor vehicle. You can begin counting the savings immediately. Cost-conscious con­ sumers can save 30 percent of more of the cost of a new tire. Radial tires are being retreaded, too. Steel-belted as well as non-steel- belted radial retreads are available both in passenger and truck tires, or Today's retreads are almost im­ possible to tell from new tires because only carefully inspected casings are used and the modern retreading process firmly attaches and blends the new tread with the body of the tire.
