The first family I would like you to meet is the Herb Tan- nerts of Hickory street. They actually are new residents, since they have only been with us since October. As you know Herb is the Unit IV Director for the Homeowners Association. He is employed in Northbrook. Many people already know Valerie, as she is an active member of the Women's Club this year and is planning to aid in the swimming lesson program. Val enjoys sewing and particularly crocheting. She is also studying modern jazz dancing. Her daughter, Gina, who is six years old, also takes dancing lessons. The Tannerts have a two year old named Michael too. Herb spends much of his spare time cycling on his dirt bike, they both are very active outdoor people and I'm sure we'll see plenty of them at the beach this summer. Welcome to our community. CHRISTENING Jim and I were honored to sponsor 10 month old Juliette Christina Bublitz at her bap­ tism last Sunday, March 4. The ceremony was officiated by Rev. Bruce Hoffman of St. John Lutheran church in Island Lake. The service was highlighted by the choir's singing and the receipt of the Lord's supper. Julie slept through the entire service! Mr. and Mrs. Elroy Bublitz, Julie's parents, invited us to their Barrington home for the day to celebrate the christening. Friends and relatives stopped in all during the day to admire Julie and to sample the "goodies" her mother, Jan, had prepared for the guests. BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION This was a busy weekend for the Kottke family. I received my delayed birthday present of dinner and a show from Jim on Saturday, March 3. We were accompanied by Larry and Sharon Kottke and Art and Pam Bellon for dinner at the Antioch Country Club. Af­ terward, we all took in a movie at the cinema in Mt. Prospect. We had good food, good com­ pany, and a good time; I'd like celebrating my birthday that way every year. WEDDING "The best wedding I've eyer been to." is how Barb Emmons described her brother's wed­ ding which took place on Saturday, March 3. The wed­ ding took place at St. Joseph the Worker Church, in Wheeling. Lori Emmons was chosen as the flower girl and performed her duties very professionally. The groom is Barb's brother, Roger Moen, and his new bride is the former Terri Zaehler. The newlyweds will reside in an apartment in Wheeling. Barb's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harris Moen of Red Wing, Minn., and her aunt, Taletta Simonsen, drove down for the wedding and were among the 130 guests invited to a sit-down dinner at the Elks Club in Arlington Heights. Bill and Diane Michaelis of Lilac Street and Ken and Sara Farman of Driftwood were also among the guests. GIRLSCOUTS Saturday, Feb. 24, some of our Girl Scouts toured the Natural History Museum in Chicago. Diane Boettcher, Jeanna Boettcher, Paula Carbone, Angela Catanzaro, Cathi Hoglund, Ann Stackhouse, Chris Connell, Noreen DeWitt, Janice Em­ mons, Barb Grasser, Priscilla Kasprzyk, and Kelly Wegener were the Scouts who viewed the displays. Naturally, the first display on the agenda was the mummies. Since the museum has three floors, it was impossible to linger at any one display for very long, but the girls did see Indian relics, dinosaurs, fossils, and man in various stages of development. There was even a Girl Scout camp in a forest showing the art of camping in the wilds. Thanks go to Jackie Carbone, Mr. and Mrs. Craig Stackhouse, Mimi DeWitt, Lorene Farr and Ray Hoglund for chauffeuring and chaperoning the group to the museum. A special thanks to Helen Boettcher, who waited by FORD'S FIRST BIG RG4R OF1FE RQ4RNG73& ...and our first big sale of the year. Your Ford Team is having the first really big sale of the year.

All in/all it was a very in­ teresting and exciting day for the girls and their escorts. With only four hours for touring, plus time out for lunch, one cannot cover every display and we're hoping the girls are inspired enough to take another trip at which time they can con­ centrate on their favorite display. HELPFUL HINT This little hint comes from Roy Maras. It may save a frustrated mother the agony of determining whose turn it is to do the dishes. Roy says that his mother has two cups set aside, one marked W (wash) and the other D(dry). Into the cups she puts several slips of paper. On one of the slips there's a mark. Whoever pulls the marked slip from W, washes, and naturally, the marked paper from D, dries. Unfortunately, one may have to wash or dry forever, if he's unlucky with this system. Just remember that I said it saves wear and tear on the "Moms", not the kids. Thanks, Roy, all your friends will ap­ preciate you for this. GET-WELL WISHES Although Debbie Mahon is almost recovered from her recent sprained finger, we would like to wish her a get-well anyway.

I would also like to express a wish for a speedy recovery for my Grandmother Howe, who underwent eye surgery for the removal of a cataract on her right eye on March 5, at St. John hospital in Tulsa, Okla. Get-well soon, Grandma. CONDOLENCES We wish to express our deepest sympathy to Jerry and Donna Bowers of South Riverview Drive on the death of their pre-mature infant.

Some intere sting and thought- provoking points were made by Peterson and the congregation. Other topics of current interest will be approached in for­ thcoming weeks. Anyone interested in deepening understanding of the Bible as it relates to present- day living, is urged to take part in the Bible Study and Prayer group. The group meets each Wednesday evening at the church at 7 p.m. The sessions are enthusiastic, informal, enlightening and have been constantly growing. New members are always welcome. The Book of Luke is the current subject.

ENTERTAINMENT Weekends At >>!<• Swanson Chalet This Week Featuring Folk Good Time Singer Roger Schiller Saturday Nite 1211 N. River Road 385-2014 Tax Facts Let's Talk Taxes: A Quick Guide To Paying Less, Enjoying It More (Part One) "This year's income tax form offers an opportunity to claim one of the largest single deductions ever granted by the federal government," points out tax expert Sanford Kahn. "This is commonly known as the child care deduction," he says, "and is for household and dependent care expenses." Because 1972 was the first year that the liberalized child care provisions were in effect, Kahn believes many, families aren't 'aware of the sizable savings that could be at stake. "But any family that's eligible to make this deduction cer­ tainly ought to consider itemizing," he asserts. "Before 1972," Kahn ex­ plains, "the child care deduction amounted to $900 a year at most and usually only those with incomes below $6,600 could obtain it." But now the child care deduction can be as high as $400 a month or $4,800 a year. And it can be claimed by many single persons with a child or by many married couples, provided both spouses work at least three- quarters of a work week and provided their combined in­ come is, less than $27,600. According to Kahn, the deduction is intended chiefly for employment-related ex­ penses incurred for services in and about the taxpayer's household. Basically, the requirements for the deduction are these: - Single persons or married couples (both employed) who pay for the care of children under 15 are eligible. The deduction stops at the child's 15th birthday, whenever it occurs during the year. -Household and dependent care payments qualify if they are ,made to almost any domestic worker in the house, except those such as gardeners or chauffeurs and except for relatives or other dependents of the taxpayer. "If a maid is at home merely to open the door for the child on a regular basis, you may still deduct up to $400 of her monthly wages," says Kahn. - The full $400 deduction may be made if the family income is less than $18,000. After that, the deduction is reduced by $1 for every $2 of income up to $27,600. As an example, an eligible family earning $20,000 a year could deduct up to $3,800 a year or $316 a month. Families with incomes above $27,600 forfeit the right to claim any child care deduction. "The deduction applies primarily to payments made to those who are hired to help look after a child at home," Kahn says. "But there is also a provision for out-of-the- household expense. That usually means day-care cen­ ters." Deductions permitted for day-care centers or other out- of-household expenses are $200 a month for one child, $300 for two children and up to the limit of $400 a month for three or more children. These amounts cannot include tuition or similar educational expenses for children in the first grade or higher. "The main effect of this deduction," says Kahn, "is obviously to allow the stay-at- home spouse - typically the wife - to be gainfully em­ ployed. As its provisions become better known, this new regulation is clearly going to be a factor in the trend toward more and more housewives joining the work force." Kahn cautions that to enjoy the benefits of the deduction, the husband and wife must file a joint return and must itemize the child care expenses, not listing them in addition to taking the standard deduction. "And," Kahn adds, "the deduction even may apply in some situations where there are costs not connected with a child. For instance, expenses for a family in which there's a dependent who is physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself. Or in cases where it is the taxpayer's spouse who is physically or mentally in­ capable of caring for herself or himself." \V •••••• The past can serve as a guidepost, or as a hitchingpost.
