It i8«ot. however, by Erie Stanley Gardiner, Ellery Queen or any other whodunit writer. It was told by Secretary of State Edward J. Barrett, state librarian. It is about Bill Houston, a bus driver for the Springfield Transporation company, an unusual fellow who entertains his passengers by whistling Haydn and Beethoven symphonies while driving [ them to their destinations. He can whistle Haydn's Symphony No. 103 in its entirety, but occasionally throws in movements from Beethoven's Fifth and Seventh Symphonies. Haydn, however is his favorite. It all started, Secretary Barrett reported, when Houston learned about the Illinois State Library collection of musical recordings about two years ago, and began borrowing albums to play in his own home. He has no musical background or education; he "just likes good music." Houston appreciated the lending service so much that recently he bought a long-playing record of Tschaikowsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 , with Arthur Rubenstein as soloist playing with the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra, and presented it to the Illinois State Library as a gift, Mr. Barrett said. Using the records gave him the idea for side-line occupation. He and another bus driver for the Springfield Transportation comp» any, Bob Dye, have gone into business as "B and B" Recordings," Springfield, making recordings of weddings, voice, music or any other special event people care to have recorded. go to Independence Hall in Philadephia.

REPORT NET PROFIT ON COUNTY FAIR IN '51 TOTALLED $4,578 Fifty-four of the 562 members of the McHenry County Fair association met last week at Westwood school, Woodstock, in annual meeting to discuss last summer's fair. Harold Beth, treasurer, reported a net profit of $4,5? £.40 in 1951 as compared to $2,071.36 the previous year. He indicated the difference was due largely to the big Sunday attendance in 1951 as compared to 1950, when a deluge of rain stopped events at noon. Reports of chairmen of eleven committees highlighted the meeting. presided over by President Mark Hansen. In the absence of committee chairmen, W. H. Tammeus, secretary, reported for the grounds committee, saying that 10 acres of land to the east was purchased and a new hog and sheep barn built. Frank Green, chairman of the nominating committee, presented a slate of directors for the townships where terms expired in 1951, including Mrs. Owen Richardson, Spring Grove, to replace Ben Winn; and Clinton Martin, McHenry. The slate was elected unanimously. College Student Enters Contest In Polio Drivs basic to effective citizenship In war or peace. The three-year program re-emphasizes clean living, outdoor activities and preparedness for daily living. The Scouts will strengthen the use of its patrol system in order to train boys for citizenship in a democracy. This gives boys the experience of living cooperatively with each other. Scout officials sense a need for more citizens who can stand on their feet and think for themselves. More rugged outdoor experiences are planned which develop initiative and self-reliance. Since Scouts have always been trained to /'Be prepared" to render service in critical situations, their emergency service program will be broadened in the next three years. Their training in Civil Defense will also be stepped up.

In this article, attention is focused on the changes affecting the individual taxpayers, with hopeB that they may get a clear picture of the new law, which on one hand raised taxes and on the other, allowed certain relief provisions. lttie new law prescribes changes that will apply to 1952 and 1953 as well as 1951. Since our main concern Is the 1951 return, only changes affecting the 1951 tax will be considered. : - Increase In Tax Your income tax for 1951' will be higher than 1950. There has been an increase in the surtax rates of about 11% percent but only one-sixteenth of this applies to 1951. The reductions from tentative tax have been eliminated, but the 3 percent normal tax remains the same. The increase in tax is reflected in the optional tax table, which has been revised, thereby enabling taxpayers with less than $5,000 gross income to compute their tax liability. Relief Provisions The new tax law, among other provisions, liberalizes medical expenses for people 65 and over, allows relief on the gain on Bale of residence, permits change-over from election to use standard deduction and to file separate returns and extends additional benefits to servicemen. Medical Expenses A taxpayer who is 65 or over and or whose spouse is 65 or over during the taxable year may deduct all medical and dental expenses with the 5 percent limitation remoVed. However, the maximum limitation still applies, $1,- 250 per exemption. The removal of the 5 percent limitation applies even if the taxpayer is under 65 as long as the spouse is 65 or over. The five percent limitation still remains for Siedical expenses not attributable to the taxpayer or his spouse. Sale of a Residence In the case of a gain on the sale of a residence, the new law provides that if an ludivldual buys a new residence one year before or after the sale, he will pay no immediate tax on the gnin from the |£ile of the old residont". The gain will be recognized, however, if the selling price of the old house exceeds the cost of the new. The rule also applies if a new residence Is being built, providing the construction began within 12 months before or after the sale and occupancy begins within 18 months from the date of sale. A dependency exemption may be claimed If the taxable gross income of the dependent is less than $600. This allows a dependent $100 more than the $50^ previously permitted. Change In Election A taxpayer may now change from the standard to itemized deductions after March 15, 1952. For years previous to 1951, once the election was made it could not be changed' after March 15 of the filing year. In respect to separate and joint filing, the law provides that married taxpayers who file separate returns for 1951 and thereafter, a change-over to joint return is now permissible after March 15, 1952. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Freezing Yeast Rolls If you're going to prepare some yeast rolls for your home freezer, it's a good idea to bake them before freezing. According to research studies at the University of Illinois foods laboratory, quality is better when rolls are baked and then frozen, rather than frozen and then baked. This method is also more convenient, as less preparation time is needed just before the rolls are ready to serve. Miss Virginia Charles, foods re* search specialist, says that the baked rolls keep their volume, texture and flavor for several months of freezer storage. Use your standard recipe and techniques to make these rolls, and be sure to choose Ingredients of the best quality. Just bake the rolls la > moderately hot oven for 15 to 20 minutes, and then cool them on cake racks. Package them In aluminum foil or cellophane; seal the packages and freeze at once. ' When you're ready to serve the rolls, place them--still packaged --in the oven. If they're wrapped in cellophane, turn the oven dial to 300 F.; if in aluminum foil, you can set the guage at 400 F. Time for thawing and heating is about 20 minutes. A hearty egg supply and plenty of freezer space mean tha.t its time to tuck some eggs into your freezer or locker. You can freeze them in three different forms-- whole, whjU.es or yolks. It depends on how you're' going to use thetu. Whole eggs with added sugar are suitable for custards, cakes or other baking, while those frozen with salt can be prepared as scrambled eggs. The whites are especially good for angel food cakes, while' yolks with sugar shouldl be used for soft custards or cakes and those with.salt, for salad dressing. Foods research specialist Frances VanDuyne, University of Illinois College of Agriculture, gives detailed directions for freezing eggs. Her first suggestion is to use clean, fresh, high-quality eggs. To freeze eggs whole, break them and mix together thoroughly; do not beat. Add either salt or sugar in these proportions-- one tablespoon' sugar or on'i tea: spoon salt for two cups of eggs. The egg whites are yhe easiest to freeze. You don't need to mix or add: Anything to them. If you're freezing yolks, mix and then add a teaspoon of salt or a tablespoon of sugar to each cup. After you've packed the eggs in- moisture-vapor-proof containers, be sure to label them carefully, as you should Set a time limit for use. Whole eggs and yc Iks should m>t be kept in freezer storage for more than six months, while the whites can stored for 12 months. fi- When you want to use vhe eggs,,^ ^ thaw them in the refrigeraiorijif; overnight or for a shorter timeb^ at room temperature or In ^ateri*#:?
