Thursday*Jamtefym'lSee THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Section Two -- Page One I Head Cancer Crusade Don Peasley Photo^ Charles Ridgway, right, Crystal Lake civic leader, . has accepted an important assignment in behalf of the American Cancer society. Arnold May, left, Cancer Crusade chairman in MeHenry county, announced this week that Ridgway will head a special committee to contract county industries and seek financial support of the Cancer Crusade. Annual fund drive will be held in April. Charles Ridgway, outstanding Crystal Lake civic ;and business leader for almost two decades, has agreed to handle an important part of the annual Cancer Crusade drive this year. Arnold May, of Richmond, beginning his second year as head of the county-wide Cancel1' Crusade, said Ridgway will head the industrial solicitation. ;Last year the campaign was organized with one person heading a group responsible for obtaining donations and pledges from industries in the county. May said the method worked well. He thinks the Cancer Crusade, committee can build in all areas, to obtain record- contributions. The Cancer Crusade will have a major responsibility in addition to its moYiey-raising role. More than 800 volunteer workers , will distribute ' informational material and then invite citizens to invest in this battle against cancer. Much money goes into research, but the local unit has funds available through contributions to battle on the local front, too. .» FACTS SALES TAX TABLES Taxpayers in Illinois may use a state sales tax table as a guideline when preparing their 1965 federal income tax returns. For the first time since it was introduced in 1960, the table has been printed in th<* tax instructions which are mailed to taxpayers. District Director E.C. Coyle, Jr., of Internal Revenue said. The table is based on a 1960-61 study of consumer s^eftding patterns by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and shows the average amount* of state sales tax paid by Illinois residents. The table may be ust?d by taxpayers who itemize*" their federal income tax deductions. ^JThe table omits the state seies tax on automobiles purffiffrchascd. Taxpayers who purchase an automobile may 23(2. the sales taxes paid on the purchase to the amount jjjio.vyn in the table. District Director" Coyle reminded taxpayers that they are not required to use the table. The table is furnished as a guide for the convenience •of taxpayers who itemize deductions on the federal income tax returns but who wiih ttr use a "standard" amount for "state sales tax which will not require detailed substantiation. Taxpayers, have the choice, of course, of deducting the actual amount of state sales taxes paid. SHERIFF CANDIDATE Qr.SIMS jays... SAFEGUARD YOUR HEALTH A "PUBLIC SERVICE OF THE ILLINOIS STATE MEDICAL SOCIO? A GRAY, GRAY WORLD Imagine a world without color in which everything is only a shade of gray. That is the world of the totally color-blind person. Fortunately, total color-blindness (monochromatism) is rare. It is fact, however, that one of every twenty-five men are partially or totally without true color perception. Women are more fortunate; in that only about one in every 200 are so handicapped. The mildest and most common form is called anomalous trichromatism and, in this case, a person sees some of the 136 hues of colors in . the spectrum as abnormally dark. More familiar to us are persons -- technically known as dichromatopes -- who are really "color confused." Other types of color blind persons include: protanopes who are redblind; deuteranopes, greenblind; trianopes, who can't distinguish blue from green, or recognize violet and see yellow as gray; tetartnopes, who see the entire spectrum in red or ^reeni Color-blindness is usually hereditary, passed on from generation to generation of male offspring ^through genes of the mother. But it can also be acquired -- through infection, intoxication or aging of the optic nerve. Because of the problems of the color-blind, the world has made innumerable adjustments to heli) them cope with their handicap. Engineers, for example, universally design traffic lights with the red light above the green, so the color-blind can "read" them merely through their illumination. But color-blindness can cause definite hardships. For example: The Navy and Air Force reject men who are color blind. And serious color blindness can cause problems when searching for a job with railroads, on ships or with air- Hnes. Jobs in paint and dye industries, positions as telephone repairmen, or radio and television engineers (because electronic wiring is color-coded), sometimes in farming (selection of ripe fruit, for example) mav be hard to get for the seriously-afflicted person. Actually the color-blind stig- The Drivers Seat • • $ •r People aren't the only ones getting killed in Increasing numbers on the nation's highways. Deer are killed more frequently as new roads are pushed through near-forest areas and more traffic rolls down older highways. More than twice as many deer as human beings died in road accidents last year, one estimate says. A game official in a western,state assembled deer-auto accident statistics isued by state agencies throughout the nation. He discovered deer highway deaths totaled 96,000, as compared Vyith 47,000 persons killed. The deer auto death rate was up 24 per cent over 1963. To sportsmen, the deer highway toll means herds are depleted and some 4,800 ton's of venison are wasted annually. To motorists, the average collision with a deer, according to a Michigan study, means $200 in damages, possible injury and in some cases, death. In all, collisions with deer cost motorists nearly $20 -million every year. What can be done about it? One system that originated in the Netherlands attempts to keep deer away from the highways at night. At known crossing points, stainless steel reflectors are put up; the theory is that $ headlight beam striking the reflector will frighten the deer back into the woods. Indiana officials reported a 75 per cent reduction in highway kills of deer in an area where the system^ w,as tried last year. One drawback: The Hoosier deer are whitetail, a variety that keeps to paths and trails, making location of the steel mirrors an easy choice. In Western states, the rnore common mule deer is far less predictable in his choice of crossing spots. One conclusion that might be drawn: Even four-footed jay walkers cause problems for highway officials.

That's what the U.S. Department of Commerce reports. The average passenger car travelled 7,910 miles and consumed 657 gallons of motor fuel at a rate of 14.34 miles per gallon in 1964. If the average taxpayer in Illinois was also an average driver when it comes to taking the family chariot out of the garage, he used 657 gallons of motor fueland paid a state tax of five cents per gallon plus a federal tax of four cents per gallon. When this total rate of nine cents is applied to 657 gallons of fuel used, the average taxpayer and driver paid a motor fuel tax of $59.13 for the privilege of using the highways. This privilege tax made the ride smoother as it helped to build and improve highways.
