"In other years, not everyone who applied for the 'circuit breaker' received a rebate. This year, however, anyone who was 65 in 1974, with a total household income of under $10,000 will receive at least one check from the state of Illinois", said Mrs. Jones, "and some will receive tWo checks." The 'circuit breaker' itself is computed by the Department of Revenue. A comparison is, made between a percentage of total household income and one's property tax bill or one- fourth of one's rent. "In addition", Mrs. «Jones continued, "this year, for the first time, an additional grant will be issued to every eligible household that applies for the 'circuit breaker.' The amount of the rebate will be based on a percentage of total household income only. These grants will range between $50 to $100. For this reason, we strongly urge everyone to apply even if they have been denied the grant in previous years. "If you know of anyone who just turned 65 last year", suggested Mrs. Jones, "it would be helpful if you would mention the 'circuit breaker' to them. Word of mouth is often the best means of com­ munication. "The forms may be obtained by calling our office at 338-6075 or 455-2660. (Please call collect if we are out of your free calling range). Or by writing or coming to the Council office at 201 N. Throop street, in Woodstock, the old S&H Green Stamp building. We would also be happy to assist anyone who is having difficulty in filling out the form."

Question 1 - Are you ready to pay higher Social Security taxes? Answers: Out of 290, 11 percent said "Yes " 89 percent said "No". Birch Comment: Even though Social Security is broke, the amount taken out of your wages will increase as inflation continues to lessen the buying "power of your dollars and more and more people are added as beneficiaries of the Social Security program. Question 2 - Do you like the way the U:N. handled the Vietnam War? Answers: out of 284, 10 percent answered "Yes"; 90 percent answered "No". Birch Comment: The Viet­ nam War was indirectly fought under U.N. Command through SEATO, the Southeast Asia Treaty organization. The U.N. didn't lift a finger to stop aggression from the North at any time. Question 3 - Do you think we should trade with Communist Cuba? Answers: Out of 277, 35 percent voted "Yes" and 65 percent voted "No". Birch Comment: We should not be trading with any com­ munist countries. Before being duped into accepting their system, why not let them prove how efficient they are by at least producing enough food to feed themselves. Question 4 - Are you willing to give up the Panama Canal? Answers: Out of 277, 13 percent were willing while 87 percent were not. Birch Comment: Better contact your Senators and the State department and let them hear from you because that is exactly what Henry Kissinger is planning. Question 5 - Do you know that the Constitution forbids Congress to deny our right to keep and bear arms? Answers: Out of 293 who answered this, 55 percent said "Yes" and 45 percent did not know. Birch Comment: The second amendment of the Constitution, which is the second article of the Bill of Rights states"... the JohnsburR; McCullom Lake 3r/ Lahe!?unl?.k.7/ "Manor Shores McHen Shores MILES IN ALL DIRECTIONS right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be in­ fringed." Question 6 - Do you think your Congressman is fulfilling his oath of office to defend the Constitution? Answers: Out of 246, 43 percent said "Yes " and 57 percent said "No". Birch Comment: If you are among the 57 percent who does not believe your Congressman is doing his job, better get busy and let him know you \still believe in American and the Constitution with its checks and balances, States Rights, and Individual Freedoms. Question 7 - Do you realize it is Congress that must approve the funds to operate every bureaucracy and that you must ultimately pay for every "gift" offered by them? Answers: Out of 278, 58 percent said "yes " and 42 percent said "No". Birch Comment: It is Congress who holds the purse strings of the National Budget. Don't let your Congressman pass the buck Make it your business to find out how he voted on welfare, foreign aid, and eeneral inflationary deficit SDending and if he is not doing his job, help get him out 01 office by getting involved yourself. After all, it's your country too, and there are responsibilities as well as benefits for all of us who live in the greatest country on earth.
