PAGE 10 - PLAINDKM.ER WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13,1975 Consumer Forum f%xxssexxxxxxx9exxxxxxs&ixsexxxxsexsexxx3exx%x%xsa by Ill inois Attorney General William J Seott On Dec. 17, 1973. the Attorney General of Ill inois Public Health Trust was formed by court order. I requested this court action as a meaningful way of using $1,183,525.36 in excess consumer funds resulting from the settlement of treble damage ant ' trust claims in a nation-Wide price fixing action against the five manufacturers of the widely used anti-biotic drug, "tetracycline. This case marked the.first t ime in Ill inois history that the Attorney General recovered funds on behalt of individual Ill inois consumers in a class action antitrust case. In the court order, grants from the Attorney General of Il l inois Public Health Trust are to be made to tax exempt groups working in the areas of drug abuse and lead poisoning prevention and acute cardiac care. During 1974. sixteen such organizations throughout Illinois received grants totaling $263,850 from this ongoing, invested trust. Additional grants have been and are being made to applicant organizations in 1975. Today I would like to give you an example of how this public- trust grant money is being used by some of the recipient groups In Chicago, BUILD. Inc. received a $16,900 grant from the Attorney General of Il l inois Public Health Trust to continue a community based drug education program serving three public elementary schools in the Westown com­ munity. .This_ peer oriented program trains volunteers from eighth grade classes who then work, under professional supervision, with children in fifth grade classes. It is hoped that the trained youngsters will have a significant impact on their peers so that they, too, will become "turned on" to a life without drugs. In Aurora, the Visiting Nurse association received a $7,000 grant from the public health trust to purchase and equip a van which will be used in the lead poisoning screenings of youngsters in Aurora and Aurora township. The van, which enables the screening to be conducted in the neigh­ borhoods. is equipped as a mobile clinic.- In Peoria, St. Francis hospital received an $80,000 grant from the public health trust to provide the essential equipment to establish a remote cardiac monitoring system linking St. Francis hospital with hospitals in seven surrounding communities: Carthage, LaHarpe, Avon, Galesburg, Pekin, Hopedale, and Eureka. When completed, this system will l ink the in­ tensive care units of each of these remote hospitals with the cardiologists and other trained cardiac personnel at „ St. Francis on a direct telephone line basis. In this way, the St. Francis personnel can monitor continuously the condition of a cardiac patient at a remote hospital and advise the per­ sonnel there immediately on how to care for the patient. In Lawrenceville, the Lawrenceville County Health department received a $10,000 grant to establish a community based drug education and counseling program serving three southeastern Ill inois counties: Crawford, Lawrence and Wabash. The program focuses on the high schools during the school year, and has established an office in each county during this summer. Part-time counselors are available in each county.

On board were people who had left their homeland, in order to live free.... They came from all walks of life, and had just one thought in mind- to live, work and grow old, in peace... . . -» this reason was enough to leave their land of birth behind. When this ship threw anchor on this land of the Free.... they walked together ashore... and fell down on their knee. The land was rich and far.... could see one's eye... ---- " They knew life would be hard but with work and prayer every goal can be reached, even the impossible like touching a cloud in the sky... As the years passed by..: this country became proud and strong. The people called themselves Americans, they built their homes... and now they knew where they belonged. TAX FACTS They made this land what it is today, and we, the generation of this century, should bow our head before the people, the emigrant, who gave this country to us that we might honor and defend it... and live among each other and all nations, in peace, by Maria Heiser v„ achievements, she starred in basketball , swimming, field hockey, baseball and tennis, while participating in the university's interscholastic athletic program.

Miriani has announced that some $1.5 billion was refunded to Chicago area individuals and businesses during the past seven months. "These dollars were refunded as a result of over withholding on the part of the taxpayers involved," Miriani said, "Almost $1.2 billion was refunded to individuals alone." A total of 2,792,529 individual refund checks were issued during Ithe twelve-month period, accounting for $1,185,882,307.37 in refunds. "This year was not an easy one for taxpayers. Not only were economic conditions seemingly tough, but the IRS taxpayer service operation was really overloaded. We apologize for any in­ conveniences that were caused. We didn't have the opportunity to plan for the rebates, which caused a very large taxpayer service workload." "We normally gear up our operation for January through April 15, but the rebate questions and inquiries more than doubled our workload." ' * During the month of May the IRS district office received 103,400 telephone calls from taxpayers, most of which concerned rebates. "I know that many Chicago area resident^ called and called, getting a busy signal each time." Miriani added, "But most finally got through." A total of $365,212,010 in rebates was sent to 2,771,032 Chicago area taxpayers.
