FORGIVE IIS PLEASE for any inconvenience you might suffer during our present construction project. Bank Vault Addition The construction under way at the West side of the McHenry State Bank is an addition to the safety deposit vault. It will add 900 square feet to the existing vault, which will triple it in size. The present «ault contains about 3,000 boxes, and this expansion will double the total number of boxes, plus additional vault space. The walls, floor and ceiling will be consrtucted of 18-inch concrete with triple, re­ inforced steel to match the existing vault. After completion of the structual work, an existing wall will be removed from the inside of the bank to insure the safety of the vault. The construction should be complete within 90 days.

TAX FACTS Get S1 back during The Jockey Return Of The Dollar Offer March 29 to April 27,1974 Limit: $2 per family Brand (This article on Illinois income tax ends a series on 1973 federal and state returns) By Harvey L. Coustan ( T a x a t i o n C o m m i t t e e Chairman, Illinois CPA Society) Because the Illinois Income Tax act does not allow you to take itemized deductions, the starting point for the determination of your 1973 Illinois income tax is adjusted gross income on your federal return. This should be entered on line 1 of your Illinois Form DL-1040. Certain modifications to this amount may then be necessary to compute Illinois "base income". If you have received interest from municipal bonds which was excluded from your federal return, you must report this amount for Illinois purposes. To the extent you have excluded qualifying dividends on your federal return, this must also be added back for Illinois purposes. Finally, the one-half of long- term capital gains deducted on A. Scrub it with a strong solution of sal soda concentrate. Q. How can I deal with scratches on furniture? A. These can often be obliterated by wiping with a solution of equal parts boiled linseed oil, turpentine and white vinegar. Following this, polish with a dry, lintless cloth. your federal return must also be added back in preparing your Illinois return. You may exclude interest received on U.S. government obligations such as Treasury bonds, bills or notes. This amount is an Illinois subtraction. Likewise, if you sold securities at a gain which were purchased prior to August 1,1969, an amount representing the increase in value prior to that date may be excluded. This is calculated on Schedule F of the Illinois return. An important subtraction from federal adjusted gross income in preparing your Illinois return is any amount received from qualified pension or profit sharing plans which was taxable on your federal return. (Note that these amounts were deemed taxable at the time returns were due in the years 1969, 1970 and 1971. Due to a change in the law, you may now be entitled to a refund claim for some or all of those years if the statute of limitations is still open and you reported these amounts on your Illinois return.) Finally, military pay received as a resident of Illinois is subtracted. After making these modifications, you have arrived at Illinois base income. Full year residents now merely subtract $1,000 for each exemption claimed on their federal returns and calculate the tax at 2Ms percent. Remember to take credit for Illinois tax withheld by your employer during the year, and PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDA.Y, APRIL 3, 1974 Todo/s Health News Published by the American Medical Association When 13-year-old Jim Collins didn't receive as much ice cream as his sister, he threw his dish at her. Storming up the stairs to his mother's room, he shoved her new air conditioner out the window, almost crushing a neighbor's child who was stand­ ing below. What causes such violent be­ havior in youngsters? "Society," says one noted psychologist. According to Gerald Patterson, Ph.D., who heads the Social Learning Project at the Oregon Research Institute, in Eugene, these superaggressive children often come from families who, for various reasons, do not give the children sufficient at tendon. To gain notice, the youngster^ scream, hit, or act out in any dis­ ruptive fashion. This behavior is further reinforced by the parents' failure to provide immediate al tentative consequences Their re­ sponse is only to scold, shout, or sums you may have prepaid directly. Part year residents and non­ residents must apportion the $1,000 exemptions based on the ratio of Illinois base inclome to total income. This is done on Schedule NR. An important point to remember is to read the instructions carefully. Certain schedules may be required from your federal return. Without them your refund may be delayed because your return cannot be processed. threaten some vague and distant punishment. Eventually, Dr. Pat terson says, the child takes the pattern outside the home. For the past eight years, he has been working to teach these children nonviolent alternatives through behavior modification, whereby desirable behavior is re­ inforced and unwanted behavior is eliminated. The treatment, in Jim's case, worked as follows: Each time he did not comply with his mother's requests, he was sent immediately to "Time Out"--two minutes of confinement in a neutral place, such as the bathroom or stairway. If he refused to go or continued to misbehave, he was ordered to two more minutes in Time Out. Positive reinforcement for a com­ pliance was an earned point to­ ward a future prize, which--for Jim--was the privilege to stay up a minute longer that night. As expected, when Jim learned of this program, he ranted and shouted, and his first Time Out lasted 75 minutes. But in about three weeks. Jim's noncompli­ ances were tracked at fewer than one an hour, quite a contrast to the yells and threats every two and a half minutes before the cherapy began. In a year, the So­ cial Learning Project Staff was ready to terminate the program --Jim was on his own. Today, he works at a construc­ tion job, dabbles in handicrafts, and has a circle of friends for the first time. However, he still has setbacks, bouts of anger where he yells and throws things. "No one expects Jim to be perfect," says Dr. Pat­ terson, "but he hasn't been insti- CHURCH PROGRAM The McHenry United Methodist church will present a three-part program Thursday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. at the church.
