Blood fenry Later Members of the Kiwanis Blood Bank urge everyone to enroll, pointing out that a pint of blood given at the donor's convenience is a simple task. The need for this blood is very great among victims of accidents, surgery patients, and many others who must pay a high price if they cannot find persons willing to donate. The local bank will be in operation later this month. Any present member who is in need of blood has only to call a Kiwanis member and it will be given immediately, free of charge. To become a current member, one must donate a pint of blood to the Blood Bank once a year, or when called upon.

Each bag contains ten articles, varying due to available supplies, but all with complete assortments.

Delinquent Tax Names Explained Listed Persons Owned Property On Jan. 1, '66 Questions have been asked the County Treasurer's office regarding the names of delinquent real estate taxpayers published in the McHenry Plaindealer last week. In some cases the names listed are not those of the individnls who are delinquent because houses have changed hands. In other cases, •'a mistake was made in hand posting the fact tha1 payment was made. The names listed are persons who were owners of record on Jan. 1, 1966. That is the day that all real estate in the county is theoretically assessed. Any house sold since then still has as its assesjsd ownef, the owner as o' Jan 1, 1966. One example that came to light involved the president of a schoo". board who sold his house, settled the taxes and bought another house. His nam? was listed, even though he is not delinquent because the taxes that were assessed against the house he owned on Jan. 1 had not been paid at the time of publication. Other individuals who sold .heir houses since 1965 may be in similar situations. , In other cases, an individial who owns a given piece of property may have paid, but his payment mv have not been recorded prior to publication through simple human error. This happened to Mr. and Mrs. Nick Nett or McHenry. The error occurs in less than onetenth of o:io ptvcen. of tax payments. "Any mistake in the publication of delinquent taxes is regrettable," said Treasurer Cal Skinner, Jr. "I apologize to those who have boon inconvienced." OCT. 6, 1967- PLAlNDEALER- SEC. 1, PG.
