9 SECTION 2-PAGE 1 -PLAINDEALER-WED., DEC. 20, 1972 nA'"e.. THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKES REGION SINCE 1875 McCullom Lake Mildred Watson 385-3585 Village Soarkles With Christmas Decorations No doubt about it folks, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the village. The village sparkles with bright lights and beautiful decorations. Many homes have set up a creche, the, scene of the Christ Child in His crib, surrounded by Joseph, Mary, the wise men, and shepherds. Homes and yards are bright with lights and other decorations, symbolizing the good cheer of Christmastime. Friends and neighbors are preparing cakes, cookies, and all sorts of candies. Have a Merry Christmas everyone. VILLAGE NEWS C-S 4 Raymond Faucher is home for the holiday. Ray and wife, Darcy, plan a big first Christmas for their nine month old son, Chris. Ray is stationed aboard the USS Coronado (LPDll), home port Norfolk, Va. Coronado's second year was filled with firsts, notably in assisting with the first tests of the Mark 105 Mine Sweep Device towed by helos working from her flight deck. The Coronado combines the helicopter capability of the LPH, the landing craft and amphibious capability of the LSD, and the troop carrying capability of the LPA. During a typical day with troops aboard, cooks, bakers will prepare and serve 360 dozen eggs, 288 pounds of bacon, 246 pounds of butter, 288 gallons of milk, 96 pounds of coffee, 120 pounds of fresh fruit, 12 large sacks of potatoes with fresh and frozen vegetables totaling 495 pounds and 780 pounds of steak or chicken. In March of next year Ray will leave the Coronado for duty elsewhere, his wife and son will join him then. The snow and freezing rain have made the roads messy and slippery, certainly making things miserable for everyone. Most of us shovel around the mail-box to make it a little easier for the mailman, but then lo and behold the snow plow comes through and makes those efforts for naught. But, please try to get it cleaned for the mailman just so he can get his car to the mail-boxes, how I don't know but try. Mayda and Shirley had a day of Christmas shopping on Wednesday. They treated themselves to lunch, then did some shopping in McHenry. Had a good time too. VILLAGE CLERK Vehicle stickers and dog licenses will be available Jan. 1.

See you next week. Rep. Anderson Announces 1973 Grain Program Congressman John B. An­ derson (R-Ill) hailed the an­ nouncement by Secretary of Agriculture Earl L. Butz of the 1973 feed grain program as "...indicative of the continuing concern of the Administration for the economic welfare of America's farmers. Secretary Butz stated that "net farm income will reach a new high of $18.8 billion this year. The way to strengthen farm income is to produce crops that are in demand in the world marketplace. The 1973 feed grain program for corn, grain Cash Grants To Disabled Cash grants totaling up to $500 will soon be made available through the Illinois Department of Revenue to residents over 65 or to those who are disabled and accrue property taxes on their homes or pay rent. The amount of the grant will vary as it is based on the amount of property tax accrued during 1972 (payable in 1973) or rent paid for 1972 and the amount of household income received during 1972. Eligibility covers two basic groups of Illinois citizens. Those 65 or over as of Dec. 31, 1972, and those physically or mentally disabled for a period lasting or expected to last not less than one year. Eligibility applies to homeowners or renters of single family dwellings, mobile homes, farm homes and units in multi-family dwellings and persons in nursing homes or institutions subject to property taxes. For purposes of the grant the household income includes taxable income, pensions, sorghum and barley is aimed at this objective." Butz continued, "The 1973 set-aside program for feed grains is designed to provide farmers with more income from market sources.", Anderson noted: "The program is structured to permit the individual to par­ ticipate in the way that best fits his operation, and this equitable approach will hopefully encourage more participation." To comply fully with the set- aside program and receive full payment, the participant is required to set aside 30 percent of his feed grain base, but he will have no restriction on his 1973 feed grain acreage. An alternative allows the farmer to set aside 15 percent of his feed grain base, thereby making him eligible for loans and a lower payment rate per bushel if he limits his feed grain .^acreage in 1973 to last year s level. To participate in the 1973 feed grain program, farmers must sign up at their local Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS) office between Feb. 5 and March 16,1973. The ASCS office will also have the necessary information to answer specific questions about the 1973 feed grain program. «oy men wear English Leather* Every one of them!" £n#sfcretr$t*r AFTER SHAVE English feather, A COMPLETE LINE OF MEN'S GROOMING « AIDS AND GIFT SETS FROM ONE DOLLAR Available Over 65 annuities and social security benefits. The grant is determined by the amount of property taxes or 25 per cent of the rent in excess of 6 per cent of income between zero and $3,000, plus 7 per ceht of income over $3,000. The maximum grant is limited to $500, less $5 for each $100 of income. If, for example, a married couple have combined income of $4,000 and property taxes were $550 the maximum limit of the grant would be computed in the following way: . There are 40 100's in the $4,000 income. Multiply 40 x 5 equals 200. Subtract $200 from the maximum $500, and that leaves $300, which is the maximum grant for this in­ come level. Excess taxes over income: 6 per cent of the first $3,000 of income is $180; 7 per cent of the remaining $1,000 ($4,000 - $3,000) is $70. Add $180 and $70 and it is $250. Subtract $250 from the amount of^ property taxes ($550) and you have $300. The amount of this grant would be $300 as it does not exceed the maximum allowed. Registration forms for the grants will be printed in major newspapers throughout the state and are available from the Department of Revenue. Completed forms should be sent to the Illinois Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 3124, Springfield, 111. 62708, in order to receive claims for grant forms in 1973. Residents are urged not to telephone state offices, since only mailed requests can be processed. BUMPER STICKERS AT TUB £ND OF- YOUR ROPB ? 1\B A KNOT AND HAM6 ON! / V.A.
