She celebrated her birthday July 7 (seventh month, seventh day, 1977) and to add to the special day, she and husband, Byron, welcomed another great grandson, Ryan Tay Buch- berger. Ryan's birth doesn't just stop with the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventy-seventh year but he "arrived at 7 a.m. weighing in at 7 lbs., 7 oz.

The proud parents are Dan and Pam (King) Buchberger of Hebron and the paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Gene Garrison, also of Hebron. Our best wishes to Lucille on her birthday and to the parents of little Ryan.

Sabnis, M.D., specialist in pediatrics, has joined the staff at McHenry hospital. He has opened his medicine practice at 460 Coventry lane, Crystal Lake. Dr. Sabnis recently com-; pleted a two-year fellowship in his subspecialty of neonatology (care erf newborn infants) at Cook County hospital, Chicago. He had previously completed his pediatrics residency at the same hospital. Dr. Sabnis received his premedical and medical degrees from Eiphinstone college and G.S. Medical college, Bombay. He, his wife and daughter reside in Crystal Lake. Rep. John B. Anderson (R- 111.) presented testimony to the House Ways and Means committee this week, asking that the present earnings limitation for social security recipients be abolished. Under present rules, a person over the age of 65 and receiving Social Security loses $1 of benefits for every $2 of earned income over $2,760 a year. "Under the earnings limitation of present law, a person is encouraged not to work and is encouraged to depend on the federal govern ment," said Anderson. Unearned income-bank accounts, interest, insurance and pensions-is not subject to -the earnings limitation rule. "Therefore, the burden of the retirement test falls most heavily on low income in dividuals who do not have access to those other sources of income," Anderson testified. "The earnings limitation runs counter to the high value our society places on independence and the willingness of in dividuals to support them selves, and I would like to see it abolished." Anderson says getting rid of the earnings limitation would allow more people to continue working and would allow others to find jobs to occupy their time and to contribute to a better and more meaningful life. The Social Security ad ministration and several other research groups estimate the government will pay out $2.7 billion more in beneifts if the earnings limitation is lifted for senior citizens up to the age of 72. But Anderson says he thinks this figure is high since "a substantial number of persons would resume work or continue to be gainfully employed and would be paying taxes instead of not paying taxes as they are doing now." The Congressman also pointed out the earnings limitation is unfair to working widows who support their families while receiving sur vivor's benefits. "This is inequitable and unfair," said the Illinois congressman, because the wife may have been working full- time before her husband's death and her earnings were an important part of the family income. Her earned income, however, is now subject to the earnings test. Thus, she must absorb a double loss-the loss of her husband's earnings plus an assessment against her own earnings because of the ear nings test." Anderson also urged the committee to take action to speed up processing of cases before the Social Security Bureau of Hearings and Ap peals. Offices arouod the country are experiencing delays, ̂ bijt "the Evanston steam on over to our bureau-which serves northern Illinois-is running seven to eight months behind schedule. Anderson asked the Ways and Means Committee to provide funds and personnel to clean Up the backlog. "Many of the people involved here are individuals on low incomes who experience severe Financial hardship when they must go without benefits ^gcause of a disputed claim," said Anderson. "For these people, justice delayed is unquestionably justice denied." Give Charters To Businesses Secretary of State Alan Dixon recently announced the issuance of corporate charters to area groups. A domestic corporation charter was issued to the Craft- Weld Corporation, 4410 W. Hi Point road, McHenry, in the name of Boyd R. Lindberg, for the purpose of manufacturing and selling iron, steel, brass, and other materials. A not-for-profit charter was given to the Riverstream Subdivision Property Owners association, 3104 Riverstream drive, McHenry, headed by Charles R. Pintozzi, Paul E. Fidler, and Nellie M.

Authorize Loans For Building "Wot" Storage Structures The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is authorizing loans for building "wet" storage structures under its farm facility loan program. Department officials feel this action will be of particular benefit to dairymen and livestock feeders who need storage for high moisture grain and grain silage. , Under this farm facility loan program, eligible producers can borrow up to 85 percent of ; and installing needed storage facilities and drying equipment, not to ex ceed $50,000. In general, provisions applying to current farm facility loans will be applicable to loans for wet storage. The interest rate is currently 7 percent. Almost every student seeking a degree at McHenry County college is required to take Introduction to Psychology before graduation. Because students have dif ferent needs, the college is offering a special section of the course this f§!T which allows students to work at their own pace and to work on a one-to- one basis with the instructor. Carol Chandler. The class, which will begin Aug. 23, will meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2 to 3:30 p.m. After the first few class sessions, students will be able to study on their own. however, and will come to class only to take examinations on what they have learned or to ask questions of the instructor. "The flexibility of the course allows students to schedule their work , in psychology around the heavy workloads of other classes or a job," said Chandler. "Students can pursue a particular area of psychology if they find it in teresting or can complete the classes before the semester is finished if they wish Students should be self-motivated to do well in the course," she noted. Like other more traditional sections of the introduction tb psychology course the class will cover basic psychological concepts, self-awareness', human behavior and relating to people. Mrs. Chandler said that often people take the course eves though they are not seeking a degree because they are in terested in learning - what psychology is all about." Fall semester classes begin the week of Aug. 22 witfj registration now in progress. Studen(s may register by phone until Aug. 5 or in person through ̂ ug 26.
