PAGE 19 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNE8DAY, JUNE 30, l»7t Urge Exemption Of Convents From Taxes State Senator Jack Schaffer, R-Cary, has announced the Senate has passed and sent to the Governor a bill sponsored by himself and Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr., R-Crystal Lake, which exempts convents and monastaries from all property taxes. The bflf, HB 3335, which amends the Illinois Revenue act, clarifies the present property tax exemption tor property used exclusively for religious purposes by spec­ ifically listing convents and monastaries as exempted properties. The bill resulted from an administrative decision last year by the Department of Local Government Affairs. The department's decision con­ tended convents and monastaries were not included in the exemption despite the fact that parsonages and other housing facilites for ministers are exempt from taxes. The ruling also overturned a decision by the Kane County board of review which held that convents were exempt from property taxes. Commenting on the situation, Schaffer said, "There's no question the State Constitution permits the General Assembly to exempt religious property from taxation. Only since August, 1975, have convents and monastaries been subject to taxes, so we are really just restoring these church facilities to their former exempt status." The bill was originally in­ troduced in the House of Representatives where it was shepherded to passage by Skinner. Schaffer ac.ted as Senate sponsor of the measure. "We think it would have been patently unfair to demand tax money from Catholic clerics who deny themselves financial rewards in pursuing their Christian work," Schaffer said. "If Governor Walker signs this bill, we will guarantee them the Ability to continue their work First for Fashion Shop Monday thru Friday 10-9 Saturday 10-6, Sunday 12-5 9 Knit Shirts for Golf or Tennis at Great Savings Take advantage of these unbeatable savings on these super knit shirts.

There is a valid reason why this system, admitted folklore, is often a good one. It depends on the hus­ band involved, to some de­ gree, but it is a generally safe rule to follow. A rising barometer makes us all feel better. For the husband with arthritis, old wounds or creaky bones, a low barometer affects his comfoxt and nerves. A drop of barometric pressure af­ fects one mentally, and also one's nerves, by caus­ ing dehydration of the tis­ sues of the body. Jhus, a high barometer means he will probably be feeling his best--other things being equal--and that's the time, girls, to break down his resistance! INGRATITUDE By Larry Swaim Have you ever tried to help someone to straighten out a twisted life? The chances are . . . that you felt sorry for some­ one and provided a job . . . food . . . clothes . . . maybe even a place to live for a while. And ... if the law of averages is accurate . . . you may have been disappointed. The person may have turned out to be ungrateful and unwilling to really work to solve the problem. I hope you didn't come out of that experience bitter and hardened. You .need to remember show long it took to get that life so twisted up. It's not going to be straightened out overnight. And, of course, many people don't want to have their problems solved ... so that they lose their excuses for not trying. But, you can hardly be true to yourself if you let one disappoint­ ment become your excuse for not helping people. We sometimes work on the superficial, the exterior, without recognizing that the most signifi­ cant changes must take place inside if we are to truly help people. What people need is to understand that simply looking different on the outside doesn't necessarily make one different on the inside. So often, our efforts are concentrated on the exterior. Somehow, we feel that if we can just change how someone looks, we can change how they really are, but this isn't the case at all. Changing a life is never an easy job. It is hard enough to change the external appearances. But, when it comes to actually trans­ forming spirits from within, only the power of God can accomplish that miracle. I hope you won't be tempted to give up on people and begin to make automatic and categorical refusals of any and all pleas for help. Don't give up on people. As weak and sinful and ungrateful as they can be . . . God still loves them. If he can love them in spite of all the things he knows about them ... we too can love them.

According to the Occupational Safety and Heal th Adminis t ra t ion (OSHA), the effective date in June has been extended to Oct. 25,1976. This coincides with the scheduled effective date of the standard for roll-over protective structures on tractors. "In assessing the importance of educational material to employers and employees, it is necessary to consider the uniqueness of agriculture as regards occupational safety, and health," OSHA stated. In the past, few safety and health standards have applied to agriculture. Therefore, it is reasonable that a longer lead time is necessary to inform' employers and employees about the standard than with other industries. Lead time for training is especially important considering the need to make equipment modifications in order to comply with the standard, OSHA reported. To protect farm owners and their employees from hazards associated with moving parts of farm machinery, the standard calls for placement of guards or shields on the power takeoff dr ives and shaf ts of a l l farm and field equipment. Through unity of action can be a veritable collossus in support of peace. No one can defeat us unless we first defeat ourselves. Eve­ ry one of us must be guided by this truth. Dwight D.
