McHenry Cob Ph. EVergreen 5-0723 1 UNDER 21 column for teen-agers By Dan Halligan DEAR DAN: I'm a girl of 14 and would like to be able to go out on dates because all of my boy friends are getting tired of hearing me say I can't go out. They seem to think I'm a baby, especially since all of the girls in my room can date. My mother doesn't want to let me date because I would have to go in a car and she doesn't approve but my father says it would be all right. I think being young is a sin in this day and age. What should I do? -- Norma. « DEAR NORMA: Being young; in any day and age isn't a sin but you think it is because you're not allowed to have your own way. Whether or not ten girls in your room can date is the least concern of your mother. She's raising you and if she believes a girl of 14 shouldn't be dating and certainly shouldn't be car dating, give her credit for knowing a little more about the situation than friends of your age. I agree with her 100 per cent and I like to think that in more than four years of writing "Under 21," I've given out some pretty stable advice. DEAR DAN: I'm a boy of nearly 17 who would like to learn how to fly an airplane but whose mother Says no. My uncle has his own plane and has offered to give me instructions but Mom says I'm too young for that type of thing. I know I'm hot and I'll bet'you know it UxJ. Am I right? -- Grounded. DEAR GROUNDED: You're "too young" only from the standpoint of your mother being your mother. No mother, or at least most of them, want to see their 16-year-old boys climb into a plane and go zooming off into the blue. Maybe next year your mother will have a change of heart.

State Re-Evaluates Stand On Some Charitable Sales Taxes The Illinois Department of Revenue has re-evaluated its stand in connection with the collection of Retailers' Occupation Tax on sales at rummage sales, bakery sales and dinners sponsored by religious, charitable and educational groups, Theodore J. Isaacs, director of revenue, has announced. It was the apparent intent of the General Assembly to limit the unfair tax advantage of exempt organizations when selling merchandise that could also be purchased at commercial outlets, Isaacs said. In these cases, exempt organizations did not charge tax on ^sales cf an item while an ordinary retailer would charge the tax. In connect ion with exempt rummage sales, the following rules will apply, Isaacs said: 1--the sale must be sponsored by a church, charity or school and the entire proceeds must revert to the sponsoring ' organizations; 2--the merchandise must be donated to the sponsoring organization for the purpose of the sale only; 3-- the sale must be of an occasional nature, held annually or semi-annually, and not continuing; 4--there must not be a business supply firm or any other promotional organization in the background using the sponsoring organization as a means to sell its goods. Bakery Sales In the cE.se of exempt bakery sales, Isaacs said, the following rules will apply: 1--the sale must be sponsored by a church, charity or school and the entire proceeds must revert to the sponsoring organization; 2--items sold must be donated to the sponsoring organization and may not be supplied for a consider a t i o n; 3--the sale must be of an occasional nature. In the case of dinners given by churches, char i t i e s or schools, Isaacs said the following rules will apply if the activity is to gain an exempt status: 1--the dinner must be sponsored by a church, charity or school and the entire proceeds must revert to the sponsoring organizations; 2 -the food must be prepared by members of the selling organization without consideration; 3--- the dinner must be given on the premises of the sponsoring FOR THAT OLD FASHIONED FLAVOR COME TO 1ANN • COUNTRY MADE SAUSAGES • DELICIOUS HICKORY SMOKED HAMS • LEAN HICKORY SMOKED BACON • 22 VARIETIES OF 8AUSAOES • TRUE GERMAN STYLE FLAVORS Route 120 - Just East of Route 12 - Volo, DL Phone EVergreen 5-6260 ^NOW cow to «etW"« yours thon Ther* tlncHv«W you, b..„ own «««*• now 0, bwu*"' liffi® A* ori& flic ttcnry P\aindea\cr salt * ^ organization; 4--the dinner must be confined in the case of a church to its members and their guests, and in the case of a school to its students and faculty and must not be open to the public. Isaacs said examples of taxable dinners would be the case in which a church organization serves a dinner to members of a civic club, or when a church sells dinners to the public, such as persons on their way to a football game. mm the EDUCATOR S@f% HBnoh it abl«. tit financial <Rffiartties center a boot Us constitv- Koa and lows in behcrif of jwotor equity and sofficiency. •--MK-M •GO«KO-IIO -V- W* lfO CW» -W-- O-W - SHOP AT HOME How Can I? by Anne Ashley (Persons who wish to have help with specific problems may write to Anne Ashley in care of W.
