Unsealed greeting cards may be sent at this rate, Postmaster Smith said. He emphasized that the new rate on insealed greeting cards will not go into effect until Jan. 7 and until then they can be mailed at the old rate of four cents. SPECIAL HANDLING Postmaster Smith also noted that effective Jan. 7 special handling will be available on third - class parcels weighing between eight and sixteen ounces. Special handling has not been available on these parcels since 1958, when packages weighing between eight and sixteen ounces were transferred from fourth to third-class mail. There will be no changes in the charges for special delivery, special handling, registered mail, certified m.ul, cash on delivery or insurance, Postmaster Smith said. "We have an ample supply of one-cent stamps on hand," Postmaster Smith said, "for those people who have five-cent stamps and need one-cent stamps to make up the postage required under the new, rates." Higher rates will also go into effect Jan. 7 for all categories of second-class mail, bulk-rate third - class mail, controlled circulation mail, and the educational materials category of fourth-class mail. Mailers using these classes who need information on the new rates should contact the local post office, Postmaster Smith said. the river in the vicinity of the subdivisions of Orchard Beach, Shalimar and Hfiemann, complaining about packs of dogs roaming the waterfront and entering lawns. They can reasonably expect the problem to grow when the river becomes well frozen and it is possible for thfese animals to come greater distances. The complainants do so because they own "dogs of their own and don't want them to be led out of the yard; because they fear for the safety of children at play; and because dog lovers feel that any pet is deserving of better care. Many of the yards are fenced, but the beach area increased by low water level allows strays to enter in this manner. It is easy to see that access from the frozen river could compound the problem. This complaint is a common one at different seasons of the year and from various communities. It doesn't alter the fact that it is a real nuisance to many. K.A.F. Townships, County Face Tax Objections (Continued from page 1) Too large a« surplus is the reason given most often for the objections to county taxes. The protestor's lawyers claim that no tax was needed last year because the size of the balance in the itemize^funds at the end of the fiscal year was more than enough to pay for budgeted expenditures. Cities and villages have $22,- 000 of their taxes being withheld by the county Treasurer's office due to objections. Algonquin, Crystal Lake and Marengo account for over half that amount. In all, thirteen of the twenty municipalities are involved. Only $17,000 of the $14.4 million collected in school taxes will remain undistributed to school districts. Since this amounts to only one-tenth of one percent of the total, it seems that educators have lea.vi?vl • > cope . with taxpayers who object to illegal tax rates. In dollar amounts, the remaining objections are small. A total of $7,500 will still be withheld from fire protection, districts and $2,000 will be withheld from the county's clerk districts. With the Christmas distribution of ,$1.3 million freed by this preliminary settlement, almost all of the taxes collected this past year will be in the handi3 of tax districts. The only exceptions are the $225,000 mentioned above, $70,000 of the bank stock tax of the M;Henry and Home State bank s and the traditional railroad tax protests. Capitol Report (by Senator Charles Percy) Congress has finished action oh a bill raising Social Security benefits. Every person drawing benefits will get a minimum pf $11 a month more than he is getting now. Many will get a great deal more. I am delighted over this increase. It is overdue. For too long our elderly citizens have been "locked in" with a schedule of1 payments which had to absorb the ever -vescalating price of inflation. More than a year ago when I was campaigning for the Senate, I talked repeatedly about broadening and liberalizing what we as a nation do for per sons in th6 twilight of their lives. We have accomplished a great deal of what I proposed 4 months ago. I shall continue to work for other benefits which I feel are due these deserving people. Perhaps not all of you are familiar with precisely what is included in the new Social Security law. First of all? Social Security benefits will be raised 13 percent across-the-board, and the minimum amount paid to any recipient will be boosted from $44 a month to $55 a month.' The increase will come in the March checks. Congress increased the amount on money Social Security recipients may earn and still be able collect Social Security benefits. Heretofore, a recipi- Minor Crashes Keep MeHenry Police Busy (Continued from page 1) driving while under the influence of liquor. As Vinnie L. Jowers of 47- 15 Prairie avenue, MeHenry, was driving west on Rt. 120, another auto driven by Herbert A. Greenwood of Whitehall, Mich., pulled out from a driveway and was struck Ijy the other auto. Sophie Wright of 3830 Main street, MeHenry, parking in a lot through the night, was struck by a hit and run driver, causing damage to the rear fender. Another accident involved cars driven by Helen C.Rodenkirch of 603 N„ Green street and Theodore J. Kosman of 1700 N. Pleasant avenue, both of MeHenry. Police said Mrs. Rodenkirch was driving east on Waukegan road, at the friterr section with north Third street when the other auto entered the intersection to make aleftturn. The cars collided.

The Senate, with my support, voted to raise the level to $2,400 - the amount earlier proposed in my bill - but House Senate conferees agreed to the $1,680 figure. I shall continue to work for a more feasible amount, for as I said during the 1966 campaign, "I do not believe people should be penalized for being willing to work for a better standard of living." Under the new law, disability insurance benefits will be available to widows at the age of 50. This was another area in which House - Senate conferees compromised in order to insure quick passage of the bill. The Senate had voted to cover widows of any age. The increased benefits will cost money. The amount of annual earnings subject to the Social Security taxes will be increased - effective Jan. 1 - from $6,600 a year to $7,800„ The amount of taxes will be increased from the 4.4 percent assessment on earnings now, to 4.8 percent in 1968, to 5.9 per cent in 1969. The greatest asset of our nation is people, aged as well as young. In my campaign I promised to work for low-cost loans to older homeowners for the rehabi litation of their homes for low-cost public transportation under which the elderly could ride at reduced rate during off-peak hours, as well as for relaxed income limitations. "As a United States Senator, I would work hard to provide sensible, responsible solutions ^that will enable the aged to live with security and to make their proper contributions to national life," I said in 1B66. I will continue to keep that pledge. * NOTICE .j Public Notice is hereby given that on December 13th, A.D. 1967, a Supplemental certificate was filed in the Office of the County Clerk of MeHenry County, Illinois, setting forth the names and post - office addresses of all of the persons owning, conducting and transacting the business known as CHAS.
