You must also consider the purpose of the lunch. If it is primarily social or personal, as opposed to professional, the deduction won't stand. This is considered to be a "gray" area, and gray it is. If you don't discuss business and neither "social" nor "personal" fits, what is it? The quality of personal records is the third consideration. The amount of the expense, date and place of meal, the business purpose (even if not discussed) and the name of person entertained are sufficient. This should be entered into a daily journal since the IRS takes a dim view of records prepared when the return is being audited. Besides the cost of the meal, you may also be able to deduct tran­ sportation to the restaurant, room tips, parking and beverages.

KAF QUESTION VILLAGE ACTION IN ABOLISHING UNIT (Continued from page 1) municated with Bender other than at board meetings. "He doesn't sit on the board," Matthei said. "He's not a trustee." "Let's get it before the board and fix it the right way," Bender said. "I'm more than willing to talk about it, but first there has to be some kind of communication." Andrea said, "They were afraid to allow (Bender) to defend himself. They knew he had the answers. Bender was 100 percent right." When Bender was hired five years ago, William Bishop, now chief of the Oakwood Hills Police department, sat on the Wonder Lake Police com­ mission. At the time, Bishop said jie was impressed with Bender's "for­ wardness, interest, honesty and willingness to put forth an initiative to learn." The three trustees, who voted to abolish the Police department, maintain that residents should not have the opportunity to vote on this matter since they likewise did not have a voice in the move to dissolve the village last summer. Bender has all but signed his resignation and Officer Stephen Young quit last Wednesday after more than two years with the department. Young wrote in his resignation letter: "The present political climate in the village administrattetP'has made it impossible to adequately serve the village in its Police department without fear of political reprisal and insinuation of in­ competence and dishonesty." Bender is upset, too, and said, "I don't feel like I want to keep any irons in the fire." He charged his opponents with "clouding the issue" and being inexperienced in police business. He supports some form of police com­ mission to act as an unbiased liaison. A move last September to form a police advisory committee fizzled. "We have problems here, just like any Police department," Bender said. "Communication seems to be the biggest." BREAK GROUND FOR LIBRARY (Continued from page 1) personal library prior to that time. Mrs. Diane O'Rourke was the first librarian. In 1970, the books were moved from Lakemoor to a store front building on Lily Lake road and Columbus drive under -the presidency of Connie Johnson, with the strong support of Marion Leske. Trustees who have served during the past 13 years still living in the area are Joan Adams, Mary Ellen Fox, former presidents Don Meyer, Susan Brindise and Louise Hipwell, Claudia \ Garn, Karen Clewis, Geraldine Smith and Diane Fuhler. Trustees now serving are the president, Frank Colomer; secretary, Edna Mueller; treasurer, Karen Colomer; Rosalie Smith, Dolores Suess and James Adams. Margaret Karas is librarian. With the appointment of Adams to the building committee, plans for the new building progressed rapidly. President Colomer w|s able to arrange favorable financing, and with the building reserve which had ac­ cumulated and the purchase of the larger portion of property under Louise Hipwell's tenure, there will be no increase in the taxes paid by residents in the district. Cyclist Hurt In Collision A McHenry area man, David A. Sagers, 34674 Nokomis trail, was taken to McHenry hospital following a car-motorcycle collision at the in­ tersection of Elm and Court streets. Sagers was heading west on Elm street when an auto making a left turn from Court pulled out into his path. The driver Of the car, Charles J. Budreck, Jr., 1001 Cherry Valley road, McHenry, told city police he did not see the approaching motorcycle until the collision occurred. Budreck was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way. Sagers was taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Area Rescue squad. Carol L. Philips, 1410 Glen, McHenry, was attempting to park her car when it struck a parked vehicle on Washington street, in McHenry. The Philips auto struck a vehicle registered to Susan D. Pietryga, 5413 W. Sherman drive, McHenry. Damage to both cars was estimated at more than $250. Slavic Leader At Area Church The people of the McHenry Evangelical Free church invite the public to join them Sunday morning, March 6, at 10:30 when Peter Deyneka, Jr., of the Slavic Gospel association will address the congregation. The Slavic Gospel association is a worldwide missionary organization dedicated to ministering among Slavic people in many countries and in many walks of life. Founded in 1934 by Peter Deyneka, Sr., the Slavic Gospel association's main purpose is evangelism. Since 1975, under the dynamic leadership of Peter Deyneka, Jr., SGA has grown and expanded into many new areas of ministry. Peter, Jr., has carried on the vision of his father by inspiring further outreach in areas such as training, Russian radio, and emigre visitation programs. In 1965, Peter Deyneka, Jr., left South America for radio station HLKX in Korea, where he prepared Christian radio programs in Russian for broadcast into Siberia. The McHenry Evangelical Free church is located at 3031 Lincoln road. In addition to the '10:30 worship service, Sunday school is at 9:45 and an evening service at 6 p.m. Seek More 'Safe Mornes' An informational meeting for persons who have an interest in the "Safe Home" project sponsored by Turning Point will be held at the Crystal Lake Ambutal Monday, March 7, at 7:30. At the present time there are only five Safe Homes in the > county and these-are frequently full. In the last two months 27 women have used Turning Point's safe home- advocacy program. Previously women and children who left a violent home situation were forced to go to the Elgin Crisis center or to WAVE in Rockford. This program is the first in McHenry county which is successfully sheltering and aiding these citizens in need of emergency help. There is an urgent need for more Safe Homes in the county at this time. Strict confidentiality regarding the Safe Home provider and the client is guaranteed. Volunteers for the Safe Home service are trained by Turning Point personnel. Volunteers learn communication skills, crisis in­ tervention techniques, safe home policies and procedures, and legal aspects of providing a Safe Home. The Monday meeting is in­ formational only and there is no committment involved. A movie, "Family Affair", will be shown and Turning Point personnel will be available to answer any questions. AQ persons who have an interest in any phase of this project, or in any Tur­ ning Point program are urged to attend. For further information call the Stress Line at 338-8080. Demolish Children's Home V |P ̂ >*• ' * • • ;t r " * f f i > * J ENEB6YSMABT HOUSE Drinking Drivers Each year 25,000 Americans die and 700,000 are seriously injured by drinking drivers. The death toll alone equals 100 jumbo jet crashes with no survivors, according to the National Safety council. by Joanne Springman One winter's night nearly 100 years ago, a Free Methodist minister was making his way home through the snowy streets of Chicago. As he hurried along against the brisk wind, he caught sight of two small boys scrambling for scraps of food from garbage cans. Moved by compassion for the urchins, the clergyman's investigation of the situation led him to the boys' alley "home" -- two large crates with discarded burlap bags upon which they slept. The Rev. T. B. Arnold took the pair home to his wife, and they became part of his family. The boys led the couple to other youths in similar plights, and soon the Arnold family had 17 children. That is how the story of the Woodstock Children's Home began. , This week the well-known structure at 840 Seminary Ave. is scheduled to be demolished to make way for a $4.5 million senior citizens' complex to be known as Carefree Village. "It's nice to see a new facility for senior citizens, but it's kind of sad to see that building come down," said City Councilman Bill Anderson, an alumnus of the children's home. "I think it has done a good job for many children. My whole family (including a brother and four sisters) lived there, and we were provided with good care. I'm sad at the thought of losing an institution like that." Arnold was an officer of the Free Methodist Church organization in Chicago and publisher of "The Children's Friend," a newsletter which is still in existence today in an expanded version entitled the "Woodstock Friend." Around 1888, the facility was in­ corporated as the Chicago Industrial Home for Children. The Rev. Clifford Redding, executive director of the home from 1959, explained that one of original intents for the facility, which never actually was realized, was to train children to prepare them with skills for entry into the job market. Redding is executive director of the organization which operates the Woodstock Day Care center and Sunset Manor, and which will erect Carefree Village. In tne 1890s, the children's home was relocated to a farmhouse on the north side of Woodstock, where the house and property were a gift from a local resident, Roxy D. Stevens. In 1912 the house was remodeled and a large addition constructed. Hundreds of boys and girls passed through the doors of the facility, which served as an adoption agency. Redding said most children stayed only for short periods until they went nome withxtheir new parents. But the children's home changed with American society and soon became a refuge for children who were from broken homes or removed from their natural homes for other reasons. While some children grew up in the facility, Redding said most children stayed only on a temporary basis until they returned to their own families or went to foster homes. Eventually the adoption service was discontinued. In 1956, the first steps were taken to decentralize the children's home. A housing unit was established in Grace hall of the former Todd School for Boys and named Harrison house after the donor whose will made the pur­ chase possible. In 1966, Kishwaukee Cottage on Kishwaukee Valley road was established as a group home to keep siblings together. Nearer to the main building on Seminary avenue, Spruce, Cedar and Pine cottages were opened in 1971-72 to house adolescents of the same sex. Three years later, the children's home was closed. The board of directors which then guided the facility cited reasons of "changing philosophies regarding child welfare services ... the increasing en­ croachment of the state Department of Children and Family Services ... and the continual increase of the cost." Speaking then, Redding said a change of policy by the Illinois DCFS beginning with the administration of former Gov. Dan Walker, made the board's decision "inevitable." As a McHenry county history book published in 1922 reads: "From this center have gone out many children who were born to a spring without flowers, a summer without sunshine, and an autumn of early frosts ... to become good citizens, noble men and women, and useful members of society." ISAIAH 53 PERFORMS Isaiah 53, an eight-member group performing contemporary Christian music since August of 1980, will ap­ pear Friday, March 4, at 8 p.m. at the Methodist church of Carpentersville. On March 6 at 6 p.m. they will be heard in the First Baptist church of Meadowdale, and on March 9, at 7:30 p.m. at St. Matthew Lutheran church in Barrington. NEW CHAMBER SIGN Framework has been set in place for a new sign over the Chamber of Commerce office on Green street. Extending the width of the building and 3 feet high, it will carry the name of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development Commission. Work is being done on the logo at this time. v|*;it . TODAY THIS HOUSE BJUSTSMARt TOMORROW ITU BE BMLLIANIM Nobody has to tell you what's happening to the cost of energy today. It's all up, up, up. So if you'relooking for a new house, it makes a whole lot of sense to look for one with an Energy Smart signout front. One that uses energy like a miser.That keeps the cost down, down, down. That means a house with double-glazed windows. With ceilings insulated to a minimum rating of R-19. With walls insulated to at least R-ll. With exterior openings carefully weather-stripped and caulked. And with an Electric Heat Pump instead of a central air conditioner and furnace. That's the key. The Heat Pump. All summer long it works just like central air condi­ tioning. But in the winter it reverses itself. It takes heat from the air outside and pumps it inside to keep you warm. What's more, the Heat Pump does that so efficiently it provides at least 50 percent more energy (heat) than the energy (electri­ city) it uses. And that's very, very smart when you consider that the cost of natural gas has gone up 52 percent faster than electricity since 1967, and oil has gone up 113 percent £aj Better yet, it'll be downright brilliant when natural gas gets deregula bumps up the price of oil a few more times. ted or OPEC Hie Energy Smart house. It can make tomorrow a lot easier to live with. Commonwealth Edison rV"v--<t wim *nrrv^wrtirfry/ti> trihH THE FOX'S FACTS: THE PATIENT'S BILL OF RIGHTS The right to a complete dental examination. Certainly 6ne of the most important challenges facing members of the dental profession today is that of being responsive to the dental needs of patients. Our primary concern must revolve around your continuing dental health and the greatest return for your dollars invested in dentistry. For new patients, this concern must begin with what we call "The Perfect Beginning" - the complete dental examintion which includes a thorough visual examination, all necessary x-rays, and diagnostic im­ pressions if they are indicated. Only in this way can we be assured of directing you along the road to complete oral health and anticipate the best possible return for your dollars invested in den­ tistry. Service has been defined as "an attitude toward people." The greatest service we could possible render begins with the complete dental examination.
