Enrollments Open For Fall Tax Workshops A few persons can still be accepted for enrollment at the Farm Income Tax workshops to be conducted during October and November by the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service, says George Young, McHenry county Extension adviser. The workshop for interested McHenry County residents will be held Oct. 14, 16 and 18, in Woodstock. Additional information and enrollment forms are available at the McHenry county Extension office, Post Office Box 431, Woodstock, 60098, or call George Young at the McHenry County Agricultural Extension service. The workshops are designed for persons with little or no experience in preparing income tax returns for others and who wish to become more competent. An enrollment fee covers the cost of teaching materials and student workbooks. University of Illinois specialists will teach the workshops via the Cooperative Extension Service TeleNet system, says Young. This is a telephone network with two- way communication that enables students at each of the stations to hear and talk with the workshop instructors.

The best way to get your share of the wealth is to work hard for it. * * * * Graciousness is a virtue many people mistake for weakness. t>r (by Father Wm O. Hanner, reiired Episcopal vicar) What happens in Whispering Oaks? A lot of things For one thing there is no day in the week that somewhere some goodly neighbor is not pursuing his power lawnmower back and forth across a strip of grass that originally cost him from $500 to $1,000 To and fro, in and out, he goes Some of the brethren feel thai a diagonal cut is the last word in swank and so miss the delights that a square cut lawn might give You could cut it in squares - in one the grass could be shorn -- down close -- in alternate squares leave it a little longer. These squares, some long, some short, could give a checkerboard effect to the lawn The squares could be large enough to move men about on. I suggest getting a set-up of your grandchildren and challenge your friend next door to a chess game - g r a n d c h i l d r e n v s . grandchildren - great outdoor sport -- helps toward informality too. And then we walk - out we go - heart cases doing their sundry distances at various rates of speed prescribed by this, that and the other Doc. Often a dog is in tow and on occasion someone walks a cat - I have seen no one exercising an alligator. Sometimes a team strolls by, husband and wife We stop and chat with each other. If we spot a neighbor at work, the polite thing to do is stop and "gas" with him awhile. Some think this disturbs the worker - but on the other hand it may well provide a needed rest that enables the weeder, painter or tinkerer to avoid some sort of severe health set-back from overwork Yesterday as I strolled on Melrose court I found one of my neighbors painting his sidewalk blue-yes he was! This phenomenon I had to investigate. A half dozen folks were gathered about expressing their opinions of blue concrete work. Have not you, kind friend, often wanted a blue sidewalk or drive? It is, you know, only a sealer they put on the eroding concrete to hold the patchof new cement in place. It surely says something for somebody when concrete has to be repaired within a couple of years of its laying. A good many of us are ardent flag fliers. Some fly the colors or the ensign every day -- others when the weather is fine, some only on national or state holidays but in most of our homes the red, white and blue is handy to be hoisted to tell where our loyalties lie. One of my friends has a couple of cats. I meet them when the cats and I are out for a walk The cats are always polite - they do not try to grab the whole sidewalk they just stay in the bushes 'til one gets past and then go about their feline business. Sometimes they come to our front garden for a visit or to see what the starlings and chipmunks are up to. My friends along Boone creek still slay a serpent from time to time The Erickson-Dubsky Memorial bridge whose erection I described for you a year ago has gone the way of the no longer useful. In the spring, flotsam in the creek piled up against it and it had to be removed else there might have been flooded yards and maybe a basement or two. Sorry about that. Then we have gardens. Some know quite a bit about it, some less. The Hanners have too much garden. It is a strange garden. It is more like a collection of plants, for my wife likes variety. Some of our citizenry like statuary in the yard -- there are deers, rabbits, flamingos, and each spring some live mother duck raises her brood in a local yard. W rJ had not lived in Whispering Oaks long before a couple of lads about 14 or 15 years old came to visit for a few minutes. They sat in our back patio and drank cokes and we visited back and forth. One lad evidently bothered by something he had heard blurted, "Mrs Hanner, why do the folks in Whispering Oaks hate children?" I was slightly aghast but Rose picked up the gauntlet -- "We", said she," do not hate children, we have all had children, some of us babysit for grandchildren. Many have been teachers, I have run Sunday Schools for years!"

MCHENRY 385-2966 TAX FACTS Taxpayers who disagree with the Internal Revenue Service over small amounts of tax can appeal their cases themselves with little paperwork and at small expense. The U.S. Tax court-which is not part of the IRS and the IRS itself- each have simple, inexpensive methods by which a taxpayer can appeal when a small amount is in dispute The IKS, in its administrative appeals process, does not require taxpayers to protest in writing in disputes of tax amounts of $2,500 or less. But it does ask the taxpayer to provide records for items claimed on the tax return so that full consideration can be given to the law, the facts, and the taxpayer's position. The taxpayer need not hire someone to represent him but may do so if he wants. The Tax court similarly has had a Small Case procedure to make it much easier for taxpayers to have their day in court. The procedure makes special provisions for taxpayers who have federal income, gift, or estate tax disputes involving $1,500 or less. Here is how the Small Tax ("ase procedure works: If an increase in tax is difficult concept; yet it is a true one Whispering Oakers love children Why, 75 percent of our taxes this fall are for schools! We try to love and understand each other. We try to help friends out where possible. We do not field 1.000 - we make errors - but we field our problems fairly well and we are happy. Sometimes we are even useful Say! Just a minute! When any of us leaves for a few days twenty or thirty neighbors keep an eye on the empty place - we have a permanent posse on duty at all times. proposed by the IRS examiner, the taxpayer will receive a statutory notice of deficiency after^ie has had an IRS District conference and Appellate conference, or he may bypass these if he wants. Then, if the taxpayer intends to contest the adjustment to the tax proposed by IRS, he files a petition with the Tax Court within 90 days from the date of that notice. Taxpayers who want to petition the Small Tax Case division of the Tax court need only contact the Clerk, U.S. Tax Court, Box 70, Washington, D C. 20044 He will provide instructions and necessary copies of T.C. Form 2, which the taxpayer must complete in duplicate and file with both the notice of deficiency and a $10 fee The 90-day deadline for filing this petition cannot be extended The information the taxpayer provides at the time he files should include the date of receipt of the deficiency notice, the address of the IRS office that sent the notice, the amount of the disputed tax, the years involved, and the reasons why the taxpayer believes the additional tax is not due. If both taxpayer and spouse join in filing the return, both must sign the petition. Once the taxpayer has petitioned the Small Tax Case COURTHOUSE SQUARES Division of the Tax court, the Revenue Service cannot collect the tax until the Court makes its determination. Unique to the Tax court, in this small case procedure, is that neither side may appeal the decision of the Small Case division, nor can the decision set a precedent for future cases. Another advantage of this procedure is that the taxpayer may request that the hearing be held in any one of 104 cities listed in the instructions accompanying the Form 2. The hearing will be held Informally, allowing the taxpayer to present his or her case fully to the court in the best possible manner. And, as in the provisions for the smaller tax cases in the IKS a d m i n i s t r a t i v e a p p e a l s process, the taxpayer may appear alone or be represented by any person admitted to practice before the U.S. Tax court. * * * * Progress isn't achieve^ by following the crowd. + $ HURRYL„.$ALE ENDS SEPT. 8 GIVIMG ADVICE YOU WOULDN'T TAKE YOURSELF IS A POOR EORM OF CHARITY 1 GALLON FREE WITH PURCHASE OF 4 GALLONS OF ANY COLOR.
