There will be a dinner after which a short program will be offered in celebration of the occasion. The speaker of the evening will be James C. Palmer of Chicago. Ruddy Palmer has been connected with veterans' organizations for over fifty years and still going strong. He has served the Veterans of World War I as barracks commander, district and department Commander as well as national convention director and many National committees. "Join the veterans and help us keep 'Armistice' Day alive. "Chairman Clyde Blackwell " Past Adiutant "Department of Illinois "Veteran W.W.I.,US.S.A." "Co-Chairman Harry C. Lock "Past Commander "Department of Illinois "Veteran W.W.I. U.S.A.'* ARMISTICE DAY * '*• "It is probably fitting and ip order to state or clarify the * circumstances that surround the apparent commemoration this year in paying respect to the veterans of American wars The first of these was on Oct. 25, a day declared by the most recent Congress as Veterans' Day, 1971. The second ob­ servance is that of Thursday, Nov. 11, 1971, which is the true Armistice Day, com­ memorating, to the exact day, the fifty-third anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended the conflict of World War I, and proclaimed the total victory of the forces of democracy over the forces of militarism and world domination by armed aggression. "To the American soldier, sailor, or marine who served in World War I, the real, true Armistice Day represents a day that always remains a day of magnificent achievement in World History. This day of all days was the rewarding culmination of all of the World War I veterans' contributions and sacrifices that had over­ come and destroyed the forces of tyranny and subjugation that threatened the free world nearly GO years ago. "What led up to Armistice Day, 1918, was rough and tough it was sadness and gladness - it was "Over There". "Beautiful K-K-K-Katie", . "Tipperarv", and even "The Mademoiselle from Ar- inentieres" - and it was also "In Flanders Fields the Pop­ pies Blow". WTiat they all add up to is memories - memories of a great day and time that cannot, without pain and remorse be shifted around to any other, seemingly, more convenient day. And this, despite the caprices of present- day political or other groups whose motives may override any patriotic or historical considerations. "These few words are, in reality, a plea, originated and supported by the veterans of World War I -- to allow us "old soldiers" (we are all past the "three score and ten" mark) to retain and honor our real Ar­ mistice Day. It means quite a lot to us. If other veterans' organizations or groups wish to name other days as Veterans' Days, so be it, but please permit the dwindling ranks of World War I veterans to honor the Armistice Day that is so cherished in their memories. "This year of 1971, the McHenry Barracks 1315 of the American Legion, Fox Valley, Post 4600 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the McHenry Chamber of Com­ merce in arranging a short program to be presented in the McHenry city park, honoring what in history and in our hearts is Armistice Day. We World War I vets appreciate this and sincerely hope that a similar observance may continue for, at least a few more years. "Buddy Harold P. (Pat) Owen, "608 N. Country Club Drive, "McHenry" What should be known about department store credit cards? Just about six years ago, un­ solicited credit cards were first mass distributed. Today, many people carry over ten credit cards. They are a convenience when you pay the statements in full when received That way you avoid the service charges. Con­ venience turns into expense the moment service charges are added. "Revolving" or "Open End" de­ partment store credit accounts are designed to let you purchase new products or services while paying only a part of the balance each month. This is an example of convenience turning into ad­ ditional expenses. The service charge for the unpaid balance is lV2f; per month or 18 rr a year. This is the usual amount, how­ ever, many stores have even high­ er service charges. The "Option Account" com­ bines the 30-day charge with the "Revolving Charge". With this type of account, you can avoid all service charges for credit simply by paying the entire amount of the bill at the end of each month. However, you do have the option of paying on a revolving basis with its lxk'\ service charge a month. The best way to use credit cards, and not abuse your budget, is to pay the entire balance of the bill each month as it is due. By paying the full amount, you pay nothing for the convenience of saying "charge it!" The Wage-Price Freeze This column of questions and answers on the Wage and Price Freeze is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service. The column answers questions most frequently asked about the Wage and Price Freeze announced August 15 by President Nixon. Q - My health insurance program at work is having its annual "open season." It's only at this time that an employee can increase his benefits or change programs. Is this considered a fringe benefit prohibited by the freeze? A - No . The fringe benefit prohibition does not apply to those benefit programs that, according to established practice, require an employee to exercise his right to join a program or to increase his benefits at a single specified time during the year or lost the opportunity to do so for at least a year. In such an instance, the employee may exercise his right even though the specified enrollment time falls within the freeze period. Q - Where can I find the Policy Statements of the SOCIAL SECURITY By John K. Watkins, FIELD REPRESENTATIVE Today's questions are ones frequently being ask­ ed of our representatives by the people of McHenry county. The Social Secur­ ity office at 2500 Grand avenue, Waukegan, re­ minds McHenry county residents that it has repre­ sentatives meeting people at two locations in McHen­ ry county on a regular ba­ sis. The representatives are at the Woodstock Pub­ lic Library, 414 W. Judd, Woodstock every Wednes­ day from 9 a.m. to noon and at the Harvard city hall from 9:30 a.m. to noon on the first and third Tues­ day every month. If you have a question you would like answered on Social Se­ curity in this column, then please forward it to Social Security Administration Question and Answer Col­ umn, 2500 Grand avenue, Waukegan, Illinois, 60085. Give your full name, ad­ dress, and Social Security number. If you do not want your name to appear, please indicate this and we will use only intitials. Question: A woman who helps me with my cleaning every week also works in several other homes. She says that since one of her other employers is reporting her wages for Social Security I do not need to report what I pay her. Is this true? E.S. - McHenry Answer: Not necessarily. If you pay her $50 or more in a calendar quarter of the year, you are required by law to report her wages and to send in the Social Security con­ tributions - no matter how many of her other employers may also be reporting her wages. Any Social Security benefits payable to her in the future will be based on a record of all her wages reported during her working years. Question: I'll retire in a few months and start collecting Social Security retirement benefits. Will I have to pay federal income tax on these monthly benefits? Answer: No. You do not have to pay federal income tax on Social Security benefits. Questions and Answers President's Cost of Living council on the wage-price freeze? A - Basic decisions of the Cost of Living council are initially published in the ' form of questions and answers as well as declarative statements. They have appeared in most newspapers throughout the country. These decisions are subsequently published in the "Federal Register" as E c o n o m i c - S t a b i l i z a t i o n Regulations and Circulars. Q - Can the bank that's financing my home mortgage loan increase amounts paid as "points"? A - Since the variation of points is principally a function of interest rate changes, points are not subject to the freeze. Nevertheless, in keeping with the spirit and intent of the President's wage-price freeze, the level of these points should be no higher than that during the base period. Q - Are customers entitled to inspect a store's records of prices prevailing during the base period? A - Sellers must maintain lists of ceiling prices and customers have a right to in­ spect the lists on an item-by- item basis. If a customer questions the accuracy of ceiling prices for goods or Internal Revenue Service services, the seller is en­ couraged but not required to show the supporting records of transactions on which the ceiling prices are based. Sellers must, however, provide all lists and supporting records to federal employees responsible for investigating complaints. Q - What is the policy governing salary increases for teachers under the wage-price freeze? A - The eligibility of teachers for pay increases is determined by the date each individual teacher became eligible to accrue wages at a higher rate. If this date was earlier than Aug. 15, the increased rate of pay stays in effect through the freeze. Thus, the eligibility of any single teacher does not per se qualify everyone else. Each teacher's eligibility is deter­ mined individually on the basis of his or her terms of em­ ployment. A loan or advance against future wages is not considered to be an accrual of wages. Buffalo bones once covered some 5 acres, in Colorado, to a depth of several feet -- the results of Indian chases. They often drove herds over cliffs, to their deaths, which insured an abundance of meat. oNAL to*y ig£c OPTOMETRIST Dr. John F.Kelly At 1224 X.
