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.

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.

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.

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.
