Author To Open Creative Living Series On Oct. 21 With the hope of having most of the programs in the newly refurbished Woodstock Opera House, the Woodstock Fine Arts association will begin its Creative Living series Oct. 21 at the Woodstock Dollarodeon (Miller) theatre with Stuart Brent's lively lecture on books. A graduate of the University of Chicago, Mr. Brent is a widely known author, lecturer, teacher and critic. A slide talk on "The Art of Collecting for Collectors of Modest Means" will be the November program presented by John Keefe, Curator of European Decorative Arts at the Art Institute of Chicago. His presentation will deal primarily with Victorian ob- jetes d art which are still available to the collector at modest cost. The Creative Living series continues in January and Febraury with actress- authoress Muriel Bach's im­ personation of six famous women of history, and stitchery teacher, May Leonard's slide talk entitled "Old Threads and New." In March the annual evening program in the series will feature Mai Bellairs of WIVS- AM and WXRD-FM as emcee for an exciting evening of Irish song, dance and story. For the final program in April, three talented Chicago musicians, the Opera-tunists, will offer a colorful potpourri of operas presented during the Lyric Opera season in an amusing and entertaining manner which will please not only the opera novice, but also the seasoned opera-goer. A subscription for all six Creative Living series programs is available at one- third discount if purchased before the first program. Single tickets are also available as well as reduced price tickets for senior citizens and students.

It's YOUR Money BY DONALD DALEY PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY SELLING YOUR HOUSE? KEEP AN EYE ON TAXES Assuming you may sell someday, what you do now --what you spend, and the records you keep -- will affect the eventual tax bill. The purchase of your home--whether house, con­ dominium, co-op apartment --does not have any tax ef­ fect (last year's tax credits aside) in itself. The price you paid, you assume, will be subtracted from the price you eventually receive for it, and the remainder is profit. Right, up to a point. But the cost (or tax basis, as accountants call it) is great­ er for tax purposes. It in­ cludes the down payment, unpaid portion of the mort­ gage, and settlement costs such as legal expenses, title search and insurance, and survey and appraisal. r Also included in the tax basis are improvements to the house, but not repairs --and here's where record­ keeping comes in. The kind of improvements which may be included are those which prolong the life of the prop­ erty or increase its value. A new patio or room, yes. Patching holes in the roof, or painting the house, no. if you sell your princi­ pal residence at a profit, you owe no long-term capital gains tax if you buy another home that costs at least as much as you got for the old one. If you don't buy an­ other home, and tax is due, you can add the cost of selling the house to your tax basis before you compute the tax. Some of those selling costs include your real es­ tate broker's commission, title abstract, and adver­ tising. Also deductible is the cost of fixing up the house to make it more salable --even the sort of fix-up that other­ wise would be considered or­ dinary repairs. One catch: the work has to be done with­ in 90 days of selling, and paid for within 30 days after the sale. Senior citizens get spe­ cial tax breaks, in addition. Check with your tax consult­ ant. Whether you are interested in saving money...or borrow­ ing, you'll find FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY most accommodating! You will also receive fast, personal service...with a smile!

A heckler accused a well-know litician of being two-faced ithout hesitation or change of expression, the politician calmly replied, "I leave this to the audience. If I had two faces, would 1 be wearing this one?" Morning Halloween Party- Planned For Women s Club Members of the Lakeland Park Women's Club are asked to come in costume to the meeting, Thursday, Oct. 7, at the Lakeland Park Community house, 1717 N. Sunset avenue as this will be the club Halloween party. It should be real fun - as a morning Halloween party is a little unusual. Rest assured the committee will have something "out of the ordinary" planned. The club will be sponsoring a Halloween party for the children, which will be by reservation only, and full particulars on this event will be discussed at the meeting. The club's Dinner-Theater party at the Arlington Park Theater was a real success; - the ladies thoroughly enjoyed the Agatha Christie mystery "The Mousetrap" and were quite surpirsed at the climax. Members are very much in favor of more outings of this type. Don't forget to wear your costume to the meeting on Thursday, Oct. 7. Repertory Theatre Plans New Season Of Comedies By popular demand The American Repertory Theatre System is back again with a whole new season of rip-roaring comedies. There will be new faces and talent to see, plus some of your favorite stars from last season. A R T S, will open its season with the hilarious new play "Subject To Change" written by Jules Tasca and presented at the McHenry Country Club under the direction of Barbara D. Miller. You will delight to the antics of two middle-aged sisters, one of whom is planning to marry. Madeline, the kook of the two, pulls every trick in the book and some you've never even heard of to prevent this marriage. Team this up with a middle age bachelor tied to the apron strings of an alcoholic eighty-six year old mother, add an overly helpful neighbor, plus an overwrought Italian plumber and you've got comedy with a capital "C". Featured in the cast are Lillian Allen, Antioch; Ann Marie Cina, McHenry; Don Henry, Elkhorn; Barbara Macaluso, Crystal Lake; Jerry Collins, Huntley; and Karen Wells, Woodstock. "Subject To Change" will be presented in the Red Carpet Room at the McHenry Country Club, 820 N. John Street, McHenry, on November 5,6,12,13,19,20. Theatre goers may purchase separate play tickets (show time 8 p.m.) or may purchase dinner-theatre tickets (dinner 6 to 7 p.m.).

There were 185 in attendance at the Fall Smorgasbord when guest pastor, Rev. Len Schoenherr of the Mount Hope United Methodist church of­ fered grace. It was a very delicious din ner, with a great variety of foods, and everyone really enjoyed the meal, even those at the very last table to be called. President Chester Conrad, called the meeting to order at about 7:40 p.m., at which time the attendance was onehundred and ninety-three. After reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in unison the various committee chairpersons gave their reports. Frank Giel, bowling chair­ man, requested new bowlers to attend the Tuesday afternoon sessions if possible, as that is the least crowded; however, he said not to stay away from the Tuesday morning, or Friday sessions, as he will manage to squeeze you in, if you cannot attend the Tuesday afternoon . sessions. John Doerr, tour chairman, advised that there has been so much interest in the trip to the United States Steel Company plant, South Works, 89th Street in Chicago, that another bus trip has been scheduled, as the trip on Nov. 17 is filled. The date of the trip will be Wed­ nesday, Nov. 10, and reser­ vations must be made at once with Mrs. Louise Giel.

Frank Zima is chairman of the nominating committee, and members serving on his committee are Henry Rahn, Alice Chermak, and Harry Symonda. Suggestions can be made to this committee of persons who would like to serve as officers of the club for next year.

Volunteers are needed to help the Lions Club on Oct. 9, the McHenry Candy Day. If you want to help let Mr. Conrad know, and he will supply full particulars. When happy birthday was sung to members having current birthdays, it was learned that member Stella Graham was celebrating her eighty-five birthday - 85 years young - that is! Lyda Radisch, the Kitchen Band secretary, reported that it is with regret that due to various circumstances the kitchen Band members by mutual consent and agreement decided to disband. The Kit­ chen Band spanned more than seven years, giving many happy hours to residents of Nursing homes, Old Peoples Homes, Hospitals, Schools, and Clubs, were Illinois State Champions in 1974 at the Illinois State Fair at Springifield, - also performing at the Walworth State Fair at Elkhorn, Wis., and the McHenry County Fair at Woodstock, and many other places. The program for the evening consisted of a number of very fine vocal solos by William Molnaire, a member of the club; followed by dancing to records by the club members. A very delightful evening. The program for the meeting of Monday, Oct. 11, will be the annual Art Exhibit. Please contact Alf Heggeland regarding your Art displays, so that he can get everything arranged. This annual Art Exhibition is always a very interesting event, as it is almost unbelievable the amount of talent we have in our club. There will also be some recorded musical selections. Executive committee meeting will be on Thursday, Oct. 7, at 3:30 p.m. at Land­ mark school.
