USE THE CLASSIFIEDS MYE DRUG OFFERS NEW SERVICE Taxpayers in McHenry soon get a new method of i keeping records of their tax- •deductible drug purchases. A new service that provides a running month-tomonth accounting of all deductible pharmacy charges plus a cumulative annual accounting that can be easily entered on tax returns is being exclusively introduced for its customers for the I first time in this area by Nye Drug. j A total of more than 10,- 000 different items in drug stores are tax deductible, according to Bill Nye. The new service will keep check on purchases of all these pharmaceutical items on special charge accounts, which will provide proof of purchase on internal revenue tax reports. Called Tip-Top, the new tax aid will be part of a charge account system, which will be offered by Nye's as part of their regular service. "•Perhaps no single part of an income tax return is more' difficult to keep tab on than drug and pharmacy puri chases," Bill said. "Because small amounts are involved^ customers often do not keep receipts and at the end of t h e y e a r u s u a l l y h a v e t o make a rough estimate of what they spent. Often the amount is less than their actual spending, but they have no way of proving that their drugstore purchases were for pharmaceutical items even when they do have a receipt. "Through the new charge account plan, an accurate record of tax deductible purchases will be available and the service will not cost anything to customers." THe new service providing monthly statements and information o n purchases of items deductible from taxes as drug exemptions is made [)ossible through a new centralized computer setup with elecrtonic data processing that records all retail purchases. "Neighborhood pharmacists now have a new partner, the computer, and we are happy to pass along the benefits to iiur cust<*ners who will be s a v e d t i m e , a n d w o r r y i n Keeping income tax records." "We, of course, will be happy to open new charge accounts for people who wish to take advantage of this new service. as well as to provide this billing service to all our present customers." The Tax Information Plan provided by Nye's lists each purchase made during the month and in a# separate special column records "medical e x p e n s e d e d u c t i o n s . " T h e s e statements are valid proof of drug purchases which are tax (Continued From Page 1)° Rutherford B. Hayes was elected President by one vote. His election was contested and it was referred to an electoral' commission, which he won by ;i single vote. The .man w ho < asl that decidingo vote for President Hayes was a congressman from Indiana, a lawyer who was elected to Congress by a margin of just one vote. And that one vote was cast by a eliont who, though ill, insisted on being taken to the polls to vote. Just one Vole yave statehood to California, Idaho, Oregon, Texap and Washington and today all the millions living in those five states are American by just one vote. And the one vote situation applies not only to the past. Don't forget that the draft act of World War II passed the House by just one vote and the one-vote history can lie carried on and on. The late President Kennedy's plurality in 1960 was less than one vote per precinct. But the country needs more than "just voters". It needs informed voters men and women who study the issues and the positions of the candidates and know what they are voting for. An informed vol«-r wi'l <|H much to assure that such descriptions as "Political office, like (lie fig leaf, eoneeals much", are only in fun. The death of R obert J. Schulz last week brings to mind a story of courage many McHenry folks will surely remember, particularly the athletic-minded. Bob had graduated from M.C.H.S. only a short time when a plant accident destined that the remainder of his life be spent in a wheel chair. It would have been a difficult pronouncement for anyone, but to a young, fearl e s s a t h l e t e i t m u s t h a v e been a time for despair. More than a few will recall his do-or-die efforts to recover a basketball, when he would slide at great lengths over the gym floor until stopped by the wall. Those who visited him in the Chicago hospital, where he. was confined for month after weary month, found only a bright smile to greet them. After several years, he married the nurse who aided in his recovery and came back to McHenry county to pursue a successful business career. Bob personified those few individuals we meet in a lifetime who have risen above obstacles which would have stopped those of us with less spirit. We join the many others who were glad to have known him and shared that spirit. (Continued From Page 1) programs are 'being designed with emphasis on those carried on in that particular^- school. Parents interested in the reading and math programs will find ready samples of their child's work and teachers' techniques. Each' school will schedule its own program, and in the Junior high the band will perform. During the evening, the senior high school will have its doors open so that each parent can enter the classroom of his child and talk to the teachers casually. To encourage parents' visits to the schools, there is a contest on attendance for each class room. The room with the largest percentage of attendance will receive an electric globe to be kept in that room. Each parent who attends the open house should be sure to sign his name on the roster.. Refreshments- are being planned for each school. Money seems to be about the only thing handier than a credit card.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE TOPIC Isaiah's prophecy concerning the mission of Christ Jesus is a part of the Christian Science Lesson-Sermon on "Adam and Fallen Man" to be read in McHenry Christian Science church this Sunday: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to proclaim liberty to the capthe meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the cptives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound." TOmmiOHT IPABADE Teen-a g e ( supporters of Charles H.

ELMS SHOW RESISTANCE The possibility of finding American elm trees that are resistant to Dutch elm disease was revealed by Dr. George Sprugel Jr., chief of the Illinois Natural History Survey. Dr. Sprugel reported that about a hundred greenhouse- grown seedlings from 18 elms in Champaign and Urbana that survived the Dutch elm disease epidemic were tested for resistance to the disease during the last spring and summer.
