We just aren't used to all this mild weather and no snow but let's hope that all of you have your shopping pretty well done and of course if you are sending cards do try to get them into the mail very soon. If you are mailing packages they must be in the mail this week. If you're like me tho, I'm always pushing the panic button at the last minute. Oh well, it wouldn't seem like Christmas if we weren't rushed at the last Skinner Senior Citizen Assistance Bill Passes Senior citizens who have not yet applied for property tax relief from the Illinois Department of Revenue won't have to worry, providing Governor Walker signs a recently passed bill sponsored by State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R-Crystal Lake). The bill eliminates the deadline for filing for the tax rebate. "This program of property tax relief is designed to help about sixty percent of those earning less than $10,000 per year in the eligible categories," Skinner explained. Those over sixty-five and those who are classified as disabled by Social Security are eligible. The state determines whether an applicant gets a rebate by comparing his tax bill or rent with his income. "Unfortunately, only about two-thirds of the money that the legislature appropriated has been claimed. That means there are tens of thousands of people in Illinois who deserve tax relief who have failed to apply for it. About $9 million remains to be distributed. "I would urge those who have friends or relatives who might qualify to contact them- and explain the program. If the person has not yet applied, applications may be obtained from my office, No. 8 Crystal Lake Plaza, Crystal Lake," Skinner said. "It should be borne in mind that there are two forms of tax relief available to senior citizens. The first comes from state government and has already been described. "The second is called the homestead exemption and is granted by county government. The homestead exemption results in a reduction of $1,500 from one's real estate assessment and benefits only homeowners. "Both forms of property tax relief must be applied for an­ nually," Skinner said. Anderson Tells Suspension Of On-She Citations Congressman John B. An­ derson (R-Ill.) has announced that federal job-safety in­ spectors will not be permitted to issue immediate citations for alleged violations pending a Labor department review of the practice. Anderson, chairman of the House Republican conference, said President Nixon ordered the practice suspended, and the study, after receiving a number of complaints about it from himself and other Congressmen. The legislation establishing the federal job safety and uir. ivvlvl CtA JVU OUi VVJr Oltvt minute. Happy shopping. See ^health program provided that you next week.

However, on Sept. 7, ap­ parently in a move to improve management efficiency, the Occupational Safety and Health administration granted some inspectors authority to issue citations on the spot. "Not only did this practice endanger the due process safeguards to which both employers and employees are entitled, it also was clearly out of line with the intent of Congress," Anderson said. In a letter to the President this month, Anderson noted the "good intentions" of the practice, but said that it "does violence" to the concept of due process. This program "is not a numbers game," the third- ranking House Republican said. "Compliance with safety standards, not mere en­ forcement, is the central purpose of the act." "I am pleased at the President's prompt action in this matter," Anderson said, noting that Mr. Nixon had written him this week to inform him of the suspension and the study. "He has preserved the essential aspects of this program while the practice of issuing on-site citations is reviewed."

"The real tragedy of this situation," says Leonard H. Heise, executive director of the Society, "is that most of these problems, some of which like glaucoma could lead to blindness, are both detectable knowS1" ~ I rV&Mlier I When is the hurricane sea­ son? Why do hurricanes as­ sail the coast almost ex­ clusively? Has the main track of these tropical-bred storms been changing course in recenfr years? Hurricanes usually begin in late summer--but some­ times brew in mid-summer. They are unlikely after No­ vember. These massive low- pressure circular storms usually originate in the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean--in this part of the world. They move to the north and finally to the northeast and blow themselves out in the higher latitudes.Because they almost always drift to the east, in the end, and dojj>'£ originate over Mexico or seldom off Mexico's west coast, the western and cen­ tral states don't have to ex­ perience them. Upper middle states,such as Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, are protected by their geographical position and the distance of land be­ tween them and the Gulf. Hurricanes somehow wear themselves out over long stretches of land. and treatable, particularly if they are diagnosed and the patient seen by an eye doctor at an early age."
