(DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Economic Stabilization Questions i and Answers Internal Revenue Service Q. Are restaurants with annual sales of less than $100,000 exempt from price controls just like the small retailers? A. Yes. Restaurants, as well as retailers with annual sales of less than $100,000, are exempt from price controls. Q. Are rates for mobile home parks subject to the rent regulations? A. Mobile home parks are governed by the general provisions of the rent regulations to the extent that they provide mobile home spaces for use in connection with the principal place of abode of nontransient oc­ cupants for a fee. If the park provides a space for a nonresidential use, the park is to that extent governed by the regulations; applicable to service organizations. Q. Will the IRS give me an immediate ruling on a policy decision of the Price Com­ mission that has not yet been published in the Federal Register? A. No, because policy decisions of the three stabilization policy boards do noj^become effective and jally binding until they are published in the Federal Register, you should wait until the regulation based on the policy decision is published before requesting a ruling. In addition, the IRS suggests that individuals and businesses should not call with a question based on such policy decisions or news stories on policy decisions until the decision is clarified and implemented by being published in regulation- form in the Federal Register. Q. My doctor has increased his fees for physical examinations by five percent, but he said the increase is allowable because physicals -account for only 10 percent of his gross receipts. Doesn't the increase violate the 2.5 percent standard set for health service providers: A. If your doctor's allowable costs for physicals have in­ creased five percent and his profit margin has not in­ creased, he may increase his fees for physicals to five per­ cent, because the effect of the price adjustment did not in­ crease the doctor's revenues more than 2.5 percent over what they would have been had he earged his base prices for all services throughout the year. In this instance, the five per­ cent increase for a service which constitutes only 10 percent of the doctor's business would be equivalent to 0.5 percent increase for all ser­ vices throughout the year - well below the 2.5 percent standard. However, the five percent increase for physicals must be counted in determining if subsequent price Increases for other services exceed the 2.5 percent overall limitation. Q. Is it true that you must wait 90 days before filing a suit, you must first make a bona fide claim for refund of the over­ charge to the seller or renter and must not have received repayment of the overcharge [ for And About Teenagers my l-ARG£R... °°o *^/7 0vr TM CIXYY STUCK'. <8151 459-6200 Route 14 at 176 Crystal Lake, Illinois unique?

Front St (Rte. 31) McHenry *15385-5511 THIS WEEK'S LETTER: A1 though I'm no longer a teenager, I read this column every week and enjoy it. I was particularly interested in the letter from the young girl who wrote that she was one year older than her boy­ friend. True, they are young and the relationship may die anyway, but if she is not sure about it and other people's talk leaves her doubtful, I feel from experience that she is better off to forget him. I always felt the man should be older, but others told me that it didn't matter - that as the years pass, the gap would seem smaller. I listened to them and for the last six years I've been wishing I hadn't. I met a man two years younger and we got along well until we got married. Every day the dif­ ferences seems larger. But I'm stuck. A two year age difference is not grounds for divorce. Maybe as a friend age doesn't mean any­ thing, but then you don't have to see the person everyday or have to live with someone who is still a kid. Believe me, I've been there! OUR REPLY: Thank you for your opinion on this question. We still feel that age differences aren't that big a problem, as long as both partners (whether boy­ friend and girlfriend, or husband and wife) are compatible and on the same level of maturity. Un­ fortunately, you could have the same problem if you married a man ten years older. Many people just never grow up!

Q. What does an employer have to prove to the Pay board to obtain wage increases in excess of 5.5 percent that are necessary to attract or retain essential employees? A. To obtain this 7 percent exception to Pay Board stan­ dards, an employer must demonstrate to the Board: 1) that the wage or salary increase is necessary to attract or retain employees essential to the efficient operation of his business; 2) that he has experienced a significant proportion of vacancies in an appropriate employee unit, despite in­ tensive recruiting activity over a period of at least three months; 3) that there has been no significant deterioration or reduction in other conditions of employemnt; and 4) that there is a reasonable expectation that higher wages will be effective in recruiting or maintaining a supply of qualified employees. Q -1 am a 65-year-old World War II veteran. Am I eligible for a VA pension? A - Yes, if you are single and your income from all sources is below $2,600^ If you have dependents, the income limitation is $3,800. Your net worth is also a factor. Suggest you contact VA for an ap­ plication form so your eligibility can be determined. Q - Am I still eligible for educational benefits if I was separated from military ser­ vice in January, 1966? A - Yes. Veterans with more than 180 days of active duty who received an other than dishonorable discharge bet­ ween Jan. 31, 1955 and June 1, 1966, have eligibility for eight years from date of discharge, or until May 31, 1974. Veterans separated for service- connected disabilities are eligible regardless of length of service. Q -1 receive military retired pay for a disability that would entitle me to VA compensation if I waived my retired pay. Am I eligible for education benefits under the vocational rehabilitation program? A - You may be eligible for this benefit, so suggest you contact VA. However, it i? not necessary to waive your retired pay to qualify for VA vocational rehabilitation education benefits.
