The Law Serves You Auto Seller Must Attest To Mileage On Odometer Any question as to whether the odometer reading of a used car is a truthful indicator of the miles traveled may soon be a thing of the past, according to the Illinois State Bar association. As of March 1, the ISBA said, the seller of a passenger car is required to execute a statement in which he in effect vouches for the odometer reading as being accurate and reliable or states that the actual mileage is "unknown." The written statement is required under a new federal law, known as the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings act. With certain ex­ ceptions, it must be provided by the transferee, or seller, any time ownership of a motor vehicle changes hands "by purchase, gift, or any means other than by creation of a security interest". The law wouldn't require such a statement in cases where title to the automobile is transferred for the purpose < of obtaining a loan on the car or in the case of repossession. The statement to be issued by the seller must contain the following information, the ISBA said: A seven month old female, all white, long haired cat with brown eyes was lost in Crystal Lake at 815-459-7713 after 5:30. Warning! Please take special precaution if you are ac­ customed to letting your dog run loose in your yard - we have had many calls that there are dognappers in the area, so, be careful! r 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i« 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I- "FIRST FEDERAL FREDDIE", THE SAVINGS SAINT ANNOUNCES Many Wonderful Gift Items Are Still Available At Extremely Low Prices To Depositors, Including The Beautiful Cutlery Collection, Watches, Rings, And The Cuddly "First Federal Freddie" Stuffed Animals.

(2) The date of the transfer. (3) The transferee's name and current address. (4) The identification of the vehicle by make, model, body type and vehicle identification number. The law provides that the seller must state that the true mileage is "unknown" if he knows the reading on the odometer is different from the actual mileage traveled and that the difference is greater than that caused by any odometer calibration error. In addition to applying to used cars, the ISBA said the law applies to the sale of any new car as soon as it is sold for purposes other than resale. The statement is not required for sale of a new car by a manufacturer to the dealer or for resale by the dealer to another dealer. Certain types of vehicles are exempt from the disclosure requirements. In particular, the law does not apply to vehicles having a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 16,000 pounds, which would include most busses and trucks; to vehicles which are not self-propelled, such as trailers, or to antique vehicles, meaning those 25 years old or older. In the case of busses and similar heavy vehicles, mileage on the odometer is not particularly relevant since the service given during use is more indicative of condition and value and the service record is what is important to buyers.

Do farmers believe that a mild winter will mean bump­ er crops in the summer and fall ahead9 No. A. mild winter, con­ trary to what some people believe, isn't necessarily best for trees and plants which produce salable prod­ ucts. Some trees and plants re­ q u i r e m a n y c o l d n i g h t s d u r ­ ing the winter. If they do not receive this cooling period which controls the dormant period, they may produce little or bear too early, or both. This is especially true of peach trees. * Thus an average winter is-better than an extremely cold or an extremely warm one. And there has been little change in our average ,winter weather over the \ears--despite the fact that e l d e r l y p e o p l e u s u a l l y t h i n k the weather was colder in their childhood. It was s l i g h t l y c o l d e r b u t t h e d i f ­ ference in the average win­ t e r a t t h e t u r n o f t h e c e n t u r y a n d t o d a y i s r e l a t i v e l y minor.

The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q) My wife and I had over $18,000 in income last year. Does this mean that we cannot take advantage of the increased deduction for child care? A) No. You may still have a partial deduction. Your de­ ductible child care expenses must be reduced by one-half of the amount by which your adjusted gross income exceeds $18,000 for one year. This means that you may have up to $27,600 in income before your child care deduction is phased out. For more infor­ mation, see IRS Publication 503, "Child Care and Disabled Dependent Care." It's avail­ able free by dropping a post­ card to your Internal Revenue district office. Q) I paid someone to pre­ pare my return for 1972. Can I deduct his fee on my 1972 return? A) No. Since most tax­ payers are on the cash basis, practically all deductible ex­ penses, including tax pre­ parer fees, may be deducted only in the year they are paid. Thus, if you itemize deduc­ tions, you may deduct on your 1973 return the amount paid in 1973 to have your 1972 re­ turn prepared. Q) I had two jobs last year, and more than the maximum amount of social security tax was withheld from my pay. Can I claim the excess? A) Yes. If you worked for two or more employers during 1972 and more than $9,000 of your wages were subject to social security tax, you are entitled to claim the excess social security tax as a credit against your income tax. See your tax form instructions for details. However, if you worked for only one employer during 1972, and more than $468 in social security tax was withheld, you may not claim the excess as an income tax credit. Your employer should adjust this over-collection with you. Q) How can I tell if a contri­ bution to a particular organi­ zation is tax deductible? A) If you itemize de­ ductions, you may deduct contributions to organizations operated for religious, chari­ table or educational purposes. Some examples are churches, community chests, nonprofit schools, hospitals, etc. The organization itself should be able to tell you whether con­ tributions made to it are de­ ductible or you may call the IRS. $AVE $ $ $ WATCH FOR $EARS GREAT WAREHOUSE CLEARANCE Truck Loads Of APPLIANCES - FURNITURE SMALL APPLIANCES RIDING MOWERS-TOOLS FIREPLACES - BICYCLES Drastic Reductions MC HENRY COUNTY FAIRGROUNDS BLDG. Woodstock, Illinois Q) Where can I get informa­ tion on tax law changes affect­ ing my 1972 return? A) Internal Revenue Pub­ lication 17, "Your Federal Income Tax, 1973 edition," describes all the tax law changes affecting your 1972 return. It may be purchased for 75 cents at IRS district offices, Government Printing Office book stores, and many post offices. Q) I heard that there are five tests that must be met for a taxpayer to claim a person as a dependent. What are they? A) For a person to qualify as your dependent for 1972, the following tests must be met: 1) You must furnish over half of the dependent's total support during the calendar year; 2) Unless the person is less than 19 years of age at the end of the year or a full-time student during five months of the year, you may not claim him as a dependent if his gross income is $750 or more; 3) The person must be a member of your household and live with you for the entire year or be closely related to you; 4) He must be a U.S. citi­ zen or resident, or a resident of Canada, Mexico, American Samoa, Panama Canal Zone or the Republic of Panama for some part of the year; and 5) The person must not file a joint return unless one is not due but was filed merely to obtain a refund. PREDICTING HAILSTORMS What weather radars can and cannot do toward identifying and measuring hailstorms has been summarized in a report by the Illinois State Water Survey. "Illinois Radar Research for Hail Suppression Applications, 1967-1969," is authored by Stanley A. Changnon, Jr., head of the survey's atmospheric sciences section. Changnon concludes that ordinary weather radar systems identify an impending hailstorm but that more sophisticated radar systems are needed to detect and measure the amount and exact location of hail within a thunderstorm. Such detection is necessary for successful modification or "suppression" of a damaging hailstorm, he added. Changnon explained that radar-direction of cloud 1 seeding operations is needed in an area like Illinois because when hailstorm conditions \ prevail there are normally 1 many thunderstorms, each a potential hailstorm. Single copies of the technical report, listed as Report of In­ vestigation 71, may be obtained free from the Illinois State Water Survey, Box 232, Ur- bana, 111. 61801.
