Page Eight THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, September 29, CONSTRUCTION PUNS TOU) BY FARM BUREAU Group Commends County Board On Tax Collection More than 300 persons attended the forty-eighth annual dinner meeting of the Farm Bureau, held in Woodstock last Saturday evening, and took action on a number of items of business of special concern to the organization. President Dale Noe of Marengo, in his report, told of the purchase of two acres at the intersection of Rt. 47 and Mc- Conftell road for construction of a new building. This, he said, would be one of the major projects of the board in the year ahead The Farm Bureau commended the County board, in the form of a resolution adopted that evening, for its action in an effort to collect delinquent personal property taxes. County Treasurer Harry Herendeen started last weeK to issue distress warrants against delinquents. The Farm Bureau also announced again its stand of many years which calls for the issuance of vehicle licenses ai the county level. This would require residents to pay their vehicle property tax before being issued a license. Secretary Henry K. Edgerton, in his report, explained that the month long membershin campaign was a success. While the new member quota of 153 was not reached, Mr. Edgerton said the goal should be accomplished in the last days of September. * Charles Diedrich of McHenty was re-elected as a director. DEATH OF YOUNG MOTHER IN CRASH BRINGS TOLL TO 26 Continued from Page 1 McHENRY JAYCEES TO CONDUCT DRIVE FOR NEW MEMBERS PLAN FOR GROWTH With the election of new directors, and an outline for a fall and winter season of activities, the McHenry Jaycees are conducting a local membership drive in the weeks ahead. The Junior Chamber of Commerce is an organization with a purpose, a constructive, action organization of young men, who devote a portion of their time to community service in the public interest. A prime function is to install pride, and to create civic consciousness in the young men who comprise its membership. An important by-product of the Jaycee operation is the development of these men as leaders in their community. Because of its age restrictions, open to those between 21 through 35, the group has continual membership demands. Anyone wishing further information on the Jaycees may contact Orientation Director David A. Ladd at EV. 5-4719. ORGANIZATIONS PRESENT GIFTS TO HOSPITAL NURSERY qf the road just before the accident occurred. A child on the other side of the road saw a Car approaching over the crest of a hill and called to Dawn to leave the street. Instead, the youngster Is said to have turned the tricycle into the load and in the path of the car. The auto was driven by Gerald Lewis of Pell Lake, Wis., who applied the brakes but was unable to avoid hitting the tricycle. He carried Dawn into her home, where her mother was preparing the evening meal. She had just left the child in the care of her brother. Dawn was rushed to Memorial hospital, Woodstock; where she was found to be suffering chly from bruises which continue io be painful as the child recuperates at home. - Other Accidents - Only minor injuries were sustained in the crash of two cars on Rt. 120, east of McHenry, last Friday afternoon. Robert C. Einspar of Grove street. McHenry, sustained lacerations of the leg and the second driver, Bobby J. Dawson of Rt. 3, Marion, 111., suffered possible back injuries in the collision. Both were taken to McHenry hospital. According, to state police, who investigated, Einspar was driving west on the highway and Dawson east. The latter swerved to avoid striking a car making a turn in front of him and struck Einspar. Dawson was ticketed for following too closely. Another bassinet was added to the nursery equipment scheduled for th£ new McHenry hospital maternity section by the Christian Mothers and Altar society of St. Mary's church, according to an announcement this week. Presentation of a check was made by the society president, Mrs. Anton Weber, who stated that the organization would like to donate it for the purchase of this specific piece. O t h e r o r g a n i z a t i o n s who have recently given bassinets are the V.F.W. auxiliary syid L i l y m o o r s u b d i v i s i o n , e a c h one; the Legion and Legion auxiliary, two bassinets and a refrigerator; and Crystal Lake Legion women's auxiliary, one scale. These groups, as well as other organizations and individuals who give, will have their names placed on the equipment, which may be purchased on a three-year plan.

The fire department and police units, as well as businesses which deal with large numbers of residents, are expected to especially benefit from the change. The Chamber of Commerce, sponsor of the new system, and Postmaster Hettermann realize that the adoption of it will mean a great deal of work on the part of postal employees and will necessitate the cooperation of everyone. Since it is believed to be a permanent change, following a system which has been successful elsewhere, the effort should be worthwhile. In the past ten years, postal routes have needed to be changed every two or three years. One of the most frequently asked questions concerning the new system was brought up at Thursday's meeting. It pertained to the possibility of retaining the name of the subdivision as well as the street name and number. Those who wish to remain identified in this manner were pleased with information supplied that this could be done. A drive down Riverside Drive gives one the distinct impression that summer is over. The familiar stop sign which guarded swimmers at the beach during the vacation season has been taken down.

TAX FACTS An Illinois family, consisting of a husband, wife and two children, and having a total income of $5,000 per year, pays a combined state and local tax bill of $218.40, said the Taxpayers' Federation of Illinois. This is according to figures recently compiled by Congressman Goodell of New York. In addition to assuming a family interne of $5,000 to support a man, his wife, and two children, the figures speculate that the family automobile is driven 10,000 miles a year and gets 15 miles to a gallon. The family smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, purchases $800 worth of items subject to sales tax each year, owns $1,000 worth of • tangible personal property, owns a house which has a market value of $10,000. Needless to say, the family would pay, on the average, $416 in federal income tax wherever it lived in the United States. The figures indicate that the "typical $5,000 income family of four" pays state and local taxes of $480.18 in Minnesota, which puts this state at the head of the list. Minnesota is followed by Vermont with $457.14; Maine, $405.04; New Jersey, $405.00; and New York, $404.87. West Virginia collects only $142.03 -- the least from such a typical family. According to Congressman Goodell's comparative tabulation, State and local taxes to be paid by the typical family in some of our neighboring competitive states are: Wisconsin, $361.24; Iowa, $295.06; I n d i a n a , $ 2 8 3 . 6 1 ; M i c h i g a n , $250.51; Ohio, $229.57; Illinois, $218.40; Kentucky, $179.62; Missouri, $176.28. With all states competing with one another to attract industry for jobs for their people, it is important that Illinois taxpayers be alert to Congressman Goodell's admonition to proceed cautiously with any PRESENTED CHARTER c Kotalik Studio Photo* In recognition of the fine leadership of V.F.W.
