CALL MEETING FOR LIBERTY AMENDMENT Interested citizens are asked to come to an organizational meeting for the purpose of forming a Liberty Amendment committee for McHenry county. The meeting will be held at the Johnsburg Community club Oct. 18, at 8 p.m. The main objective of the committee at this time would be to disseminate literature to inform the public just what the Liberty Amendment is all about. There is nothing complicated about the Liberty Amendment, according to its proponents, ft would simply cut out the personal income tax arid provide for Jhe federal government to get out of competition with private industry. The Liberty Amendment committees feel that government can be stopped if enough people are willing to join the fight to help preserve the free enterprise system. They feel that we must adhere to the Constitution or use the proper means to amend it. This meeting is open to the public and there will be no admission charge.

GUN CONTROL "Dear Editor: "Every day we read of some variation of the same old "gun control" bill which have been introduced for the past twenty years. They all end up doing the same thing, either they restrict the honest person, cost him money, or they can never be enforced. "Before, I go on, I had better explain that I am a so-called 'gun bug' but I do believe in gun control; and am also against any legislation which would discriminate against the honest citizen and help the criminal. This is old hat, but I feel it must be considered when producing a workable bill. A workable bill must have many facets before it will solve any of our modern day firearms problems. We must produce a national firearms bill which will: "1. Restrict or prevent a known criminal from receiving or purchasing a firearm. "2. Prevent a minor from either receiving or purchasing a firearm under an assumed name, and without a parent's consent. "3. Punish the person who loans, sells, or gives a firearm to a minor or criminal. "4. Protect a person from selling a firearm to a known criminal or minor. "5. Be able to be enforced without costing the taxpayer or firearms owners any money. "6. Be able to be enforced without placing an impossible situation on the law enforcement agencies. "7. Help put teeth into some of the existing local laws now in effect. "8. Be able to go into effect within a short period (24 hr.) without a good deal of red tape and confusion. "9. To satisfy the present honest owners of firearms. "This may seem like an impossible task, but as absurd as it may seem, I feel I have a workable solution: "We simply pass a bill which will require all givers, or sellers, to ship or deliver the firearms in the name of the new owner, to his or her nearest law enforcement agency; to be picked up without any strings attached. At present, United Parcel and Railway Express are the only shipping companies who can handle firearms. You can see by this, the person who has nothing to hide, can walk into the agency and ask for his package. Now let a minor, or a known criminal do the same. Also, if a person sold a Arearm directly to another person, and it in turn was used in a criminal act, the first party would receive punishment, ranging from one to ten years, for not adhering to the original bill. We could go on and on, giving examples of how this bill would have prevented Oswald from getting his rifle; the boy who killed two youngsters in Rockford, from getting his gun, etc. I have talked to our junior legislators about this bill, however they seem reluctant totake the initiative, in fact, some have indicated a lack of understanding of the real problem involved. "All it would take would be a little time to sit down and set up different combinations of sales and gifts of firearms, and prove that this bill would stop the known criminal, unscrupulous gun dealer, and minors, to continue on as they do today. If you feel this bill has any merit, I certainly could use some help' in getting this message to the proper channels. "Respectfully yours,. "Martin Sioffel "4014 u. Mcf'ullomLakeRd.

An apathetic attitude toward driving is the major contributing cause of death on our nation's roads and highways. This Labor Day week-end. you are going to witness plenty of worse-than-bad driving techniques. You will see unmanacled maniacs, rushing with heavy foot to their inevitable L READ THE CLASSIFIEDS deaths. Be at your defensive best to avoid involvements with them., The State of Illinois will have the successful "Light Up and Live" safety awareness campaign in effect. You will be reminded to stay alert and alive by reflective signs in 89 strategic locations throughout the state. Labor Day is the last warm weather holiday and will bring lots of cars out for this big late summer outing. Added to the heavy traffic load, are the many families returning from vacation, to work and school. Throw in a few "day-dreamers," "overly-tireds" and "recklessfools" and the situation becomes downright dangerous. Let your driving attitude prove that you care enough to save the very best -- your life! Don't let Labor Day laxity be the cause of your death. For safety, study your Rules of the Road booklet.

A delinquent real estate tax sale is a chance to invest money at a high return for some and an attempt to gain possession of property cheaply for others, but e veryone should realize that "let the buyer beware" still prevails. Real pitfalls exist for the careless buyer. Property on which real estate tax has not been paid for the tax year 1966 will be offered for auction on Oct. 23 (a Monday) beginning at 9 a.m., at the courthouse in Woodstock. Some 5,000 properties throughout McHenry county are on the block. The bidding is on the percentage of interest the buyer will receive from the property owner should he reclaim it within two 'years. The bidding starts at 12 percent per six months and goes lower if there is competition on a piece of property. Prior to the auction, potential buyers should investigate the property whose taxes are of interest. A work sheet should be prepared in the same order as the "Judgment, Tax Sale and Forfeiture Record," which was published in local papers about Sept. 28. After winning an auction, the tax buyer must pay all delinquent tax. There is no discount allowed and no taxes are waived. The buyer then receives a tax certificate signed by both the county clerk and Treasurer showing the amount paid and the percent of the bid. The certificate is retained by the tax buyer until the tax sale is either redeemed or goes to a tax deed (possession of property legally gained by buyer). The certificates cannot be replaced if lost. . . .under any circumstances. It would pay to check for any previous liens or judgments because they, in addition to the taxes, are the responsibility of the tax buyer. The tax buyer is responsible for two years of taxes, if they are not paid by the owner. The tax buyer must record the payment of any subsequent tax with the County Clerk. If the taxes are redeemed before a subsequent payment if recorded, the tax buyer loses that money. (Let the buyer beware). But any subsequently paid tax that is recorded must be paid by the redeeming owner, plus 7 percent interest. The property owner can redeem the tax sale anytime within the two-year period. He must pay the amount of tax sale, plus any subsequent tax paid by the purchaser--if it has been recorded with the County Clerkplus interest. The tax buyer has no recourse in the case of redemption. The tax buyer surrenders the tax certificate at the time he learns that the property has been redeemed. It is tax buyer's responsibility to check for redemption. The County Clerk is not required to notify the tax buyer. Sometime between five and Change now to gas heat. It makes sense. Because gas heat is by far your greatest heating bargain.

It's the choice of nearly 85% of the homes we serve. three months before two years after the date of the tax sale, the purchaser must give the owner of the property personal notice--through the mails, the newspapers or in per son--that application is being made for a tax deed. At this time the services of an attorney is usually sought. Eventually a tax deed is granted by the courts and recorded with the Recorder of Deeds. The property then belongs to the tax buyer.
