A retailer may charge a price in excess of the base price whenever its customary initial percentage markup after Nov. 13. 1971, with respect to the property sold is equal to or less than its last customary initial percentage markup before Nov. 14, 1971 or, at its option, during its last fiscal year en­ ding before Aug. 15, 1971.

A. Generally, the allowable increase in monthly rent over the base rent for a capital improvement such as this may not be more than 1 Vfe percent of that part of the cost of the capital improvement allocable to your apartment. If the capital improvement increases your monthly rent by 10 percent or more, your lan­ dlord must obtain prior ap­ proval from the Internal Revenue Service before in­ creasing your rent, unless such improvement is required by local law or the terms of a mortgage or deed of trust.

Illinois Bell WE'RE A LOT MORE THAN JUST TALK chairman of volunteer services. Miss Sills, a leading colora­ tura soprano with the New York City Opera Company, has deep-rooted feelings about her role in the Mothers' March. In private life, she is Mrs. Peter Greenough, wife of a distin­ guished journalist. They know too well the anguish of birth defects. Their daughter, Muffy, 12, a bright, beautiful girl, was born deaf. Their son, Peter Jr., 10, is mentally retarded. "We used to ask, 'why us?' " she says. "Now we ask, 'why them?' Medical science offers such hope today that other par­ ents, ultimately, will be spared these sorrows." Working Chairman Despite her rigorous sched­ ule, Miss Sills has talked with Mothers' March leaders in cities where she has had singing en­ gagements these past months to learn firsthand how they are directing their energies to over­ come birth defects. About a quarter of a million babies are born with physical and mental damage every year in this country. She also has met with scien­ tists and physicians who direct March of Dimes research and Medical Service Programs around the country. Contributions from the Moth­ ers' March help support these programs, professional and public health education, and community service projects. Funds also go to The Salk In­ stitute in San Diego. SHE SANG IT WITH FLOWERS. Opera star Beverly Sills, national Mothers' March chairman against birth defects, visits the March of Dimes Service Program at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center. Mothers' March leaders are anxious to build public aware­ ness about medical progress in preventing, treating and con­ trolling congenital diseases. This year, some million and a half volunteers in about 2,700 March of Dimes chapters are distributing bookmarks that emphasize possible environ­ mental hazards to the unborn child. The bookmark also has other useful information about steps that couples can take that reduce the risk of having chil­ dren born with birth defects. In a number of communities, Marching Mothers will circu­ late material about Rh blood incompatibility disease and the Rh vaccine which could end this source of birth defects. For many volunteers, preven­ tion of birth defects is a year- round concern. Mrs. Kenneth Stults of Flint, Mich., assists patients at a prenatal care clinic co-sponsored by her chapter, the health department and women's service organizations. She helped plan the clinic and is a weekly "regular." Then there is Mrs. Irving Saltzman, Mothers' March co- chairman for the borough of Queens, New York City. She has organized and participated in volunteer programs for pre­ natal care clinics at Queens Hospital Center and Coney Is­ land Hospital, and arranged health education projects for local high schools. Mrs. Saltz­ man is a district leader of B'nai B'rith Women, who co-sponsor "Operation Stork," a nation­ wide prenatal care program with the March of Dimes. Mrs. Ray C. Freeman of Se­ attle, Wash., has been coordi­ nating medical and nonmedical activities at the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center, University Hospital, since it opened in 1961. Volunteers pro­ vide many services: typing, talking with, and listening to, patients and their parents, and meeting families at airports and bus stations when they come from out of town. Volun­ teer registered nurses work di­ rectly with the hospital staff. "The center is geared to edu­ cation," she says. "Each fall we send invitations to high schools to visit the hospital. The project is mostly aimed at making them better informed as future parents." From The Farm DIMMER SWITCHES You can often greatly im­ prove the atmosphere of your home simply by adding dim­ mer switches to your lighting system. Solid state dimmer switches are available for less than six dollars. And the dimmer switches fit in place of the regular wall switch. If you buy a new switch, be sure to check the "small print" and buy a switch with the correct watt capacity and be certain the switch can be used as you want to use it. TAPE GROUND ADAPTER Do you have trouble finding your ground adapter plug? Try taping it to the side of your tool cord in such a way that it can be plugged in when a grounded outlet is not available. WATER CACTI Water your desert cacti every three or four weeks during the winter to ensure their health. Cacti are dormant during the cold months, but still require occasional watering to survive. Keep them in a bright location at normal room temperature. When they begin to grow, water them more often. MANAGEMENT IMPORTANT Good farm management is more important than minor details of a lease in deter­ mining favorable earnings for both landlords and tenants, according to an analysis of farm records at the University of Illinois. Farms with higher returns had higher acre«gt in coiti, soybeans and feed grain diversion, less tillable acreage in hay and pasture, higher corn yields and higher total value of crop production. These factors apparently brought about the differences in landlord returns; however, tenants' returns were also higher on the farms where the landlords' returns were higher. The high-return landlords received less cash rent than did the lower earning group. Cash rent on crop and livestock share-leased farms was a very small part of the expense for the tenant or return for the landowner. Each year many Illinois landlords and tenants use their farm records to determine how to share expenses fairly and adjust their lease terms. Frequently the landlord shares in the cost of belonging to the Illinois Farm Business Farm Management Service. The Farm Business Farm Management association serving this area is now ac­ cepting a limited number of new memberships. If you want to know more about this cooperative farm business analysis service, contact Louis Engelbrecht at your County Extension office in Woodstock. DAIRY COW NUTRITION Low milk production and poor reproductive performance may result when dairy cows have an inadequate intake of energy, protein, minerals, or vitamins, says L.R. Fryman, University of Illinois Extension dairy specialist. In correct combinations, feeds grown in Illinois - fed with only a minimum amount of purchased supplements - can provide all the nutrients dairy cattle need. Dairymen should feed milking cows large quantities of high-quality roughage. In recommending grain feeding programs for dairy cattle, Fryman listed three feeding periods: 1. Dry period; 2. First month after calving; 3. Lac­ tation from second month until dry period. "Let the cow's condition determine how much grain to feed during the dry period," Fryman said. "Then, increase the amount of grain so she receives from 1 to l1^ pounds per 100 pounds of body weight per day. This conditions the cow to eat more grain at or soon after calving. "Starting about the third day after calving, increase grain as fast as the cow will take it until she is fed all she will eat. Use caution when increasing the amount of grain, so you don't throw the cow off feed." He told dairymen to feed all the grain cows will eat during the first four to six weeks after calving. Then, dairymen should weigh the amount of milk the cow is producing and adjust the amount of grain fed ac­ cordingly. As a guide, Fryman suggested feeding Holstein, Brown Swiss, Ayrshire, and Milking Shorthorn cows from 1 pound of grain for every 2 pounds of milk to 1 pound of grain for every 4 pounds of milk produced each day. Cows producing 80 or more pounds of milk per day should receive all the grain they will eat. Dairymen should feed Guern seys and Jerseys 1 pound of grain for each 2 to 3 pounds of milk produced. V.A. News Q - I am a veteran with an ordinary life National Service Life Insurance policy May I surrender it for paid up in­ surance and still draw dividends? A - Yes, but your dividends will be smaller. Q -1 am 100 percent disabled from service-connected in­ juries, and wonder if the Veterans administration will treat me for a disability I suffered after leaving the service? A - Yes. Veterans per­ manently and totally disabled from service-connected causes can be treated at VA outpatient clinics for nonservice con­ nected disabilities. You should apply for treatment at the nearest VA office. Q - Several years ago I elected to receive benefits under the new pension law when I exceeded the $1,600 annual income limitation, resulting in termination of benefits under the old pension law. Now that income limitations under the old law have been increased, can I go back to drawing pension under the old law? A - No. Once a pensioner has chosen benefits under the new law, he cannot go back to the old law. McHENRY MOOSE S*eeW*tl.
