PAGE 20 - PLAINDEALER-WEPNESDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1976 McCullom Lake Mary Jo Farrell 344 1575 LaVeme Loewe Voted "Gals" Vice President The McCullom Lake Beach Gals met Wednesday. Oct. 6, and with seventeen girls in attendance, elected a new vice president to replace Gert Walters, Nominations were very lively, with Donna Gates, Karen Scarbrough, Barb Elliot, Joany Bitterman. Cindy Martini, Geni Box, and La Verne Loewe being chosen. All but Geni Box, and LaVerne Loewe declined the nominations and LaVerne was voted in as our new vice president. At that meeting, the Beach Gals welcomed three new members. Pam Jacobs, Dawn Lancaster, ^nd Carol Dina joined our orgnaization and are we glad to have them! Plans for the Halloween party were pretty well finalized at Wednesday night's meeting. The doors of the beach house will open at 7 p.m and no one will be admitted before that time. If you have jack-o- lanterns for the judging, you may bring them to the beach house at 6:30, but you will be allowed only to leave them, not to come in. ' The categories for the costume judging and the jack- o-lantern judging will be as follows: 0-4, 5-8, 9-11, and 12- over. You 12 and overs, come on out and show how creative you can be! Other business discussed at the meeting was the question of the chair carts. The question was-where the heck are they? The table carts and the new chairs were delivered some time ago, but we haven't seen hide nor hair of the chair carts. It would surely be nice to have them in time for the Halloween party. NICE GOING Good news came in the mail this past week for JoAnne and Kurt Weisenberger and Geni Box. They all received their real estate licenses in the mail. The test for this license is a real stinker, so all three of you can be very proud of your ac­ complishment. NOTE: This is not a paid advertisement, nor was it solicited. CHRISTMAS ALREADY? Just a note to remind you Beach Gals that the Christmas party for the members will be held this year on Wednesday, Dec. 15, at Indian Manor. You may sign up to attend at the next Beach Gals meeting. VISITORS Visitors to the village recently were A1 and Lolly Rowe, with Andy and Jacques. Rowe's recently moved to Milwaukee and vowed on departure that they would return and, sure enough, they did. They were welcomed by Sergio and Cindy Martini's and had lunch with Martini's and their children, Lisa and Tony, then they drove out to Marty and Karen Parks new farm to visit. Gerry and Jackie Raycraft were also out at Park's place, so the three families had a happy afternoon of visiting and catching up on news. A1 and Lolly said they miss McCullom Lake and all their friends here, but they do like it in Milwaukee and are happy there. They promised to come back soon for another visit. BURNING Please be careful when burning leaves this fall. There is nothing children like better than a nice, hot fire to stand around and play in with sticks After your leaves are all raked up, please stay around and watch your fires. Don't leave them unattended so that little persons get hurt. BIG CATCH Tom Gollan and Dan Reimer of East Lane went on a fishing trip up to Green Bay, Wi., over the weekend of Oct. 2. My husband, Tom, saw them off with tears in his eyes - we had a prior commitment and Tom had to stay home. The tears really flowed when, Sunday night, Tom and Dan returned triumphant with thirty pounds of Chinook salmon in tow. They had had a wonderful time and didn't even get rained on or snowed on. Best of all for poor Tom, they promised to bring him along next time they went! SPECIAL GREETING Happy belated birthday to Judy Pendleton, who celebrated her big day Oct. 6. Even though you got passed up, Judy, hope your day was happy.

A big happy birthday to you all! Happy anniversary this week goes to Lenard and Nancy affair, give me a ring and I will 14. REMINDER Just a reminder to you, I can't find out everything that goes on in the village without your help. If you have a party or any other kind of social affair, give me a ring and I will be glad to write the event up in the column. I have good health, good thoughts, and good hu­ mor, thanks be to God Almighty. -William Byrd. USE OUR FREE LAY-AWAY AND PUT THAT SPECIAL GIFT ASIDE FOR CHRISTMAS! spurgeons CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

Hours: Mon-Fri 9 to 9 Sat 9 to 6 Sun 10-5 Phone 385-4100 jtuafk MB l * The Congressman Reports sM: Mi On Sept. 16 the House and Seante overwhelmingly ap­ proved a compromise tax reform bill which made ex­ tensive changes in estate taxes on family farms and small businesses. I supported this bill, which the president signed, and I thought you might be interested in hearing about the exact provisions affecting taxation of these types of estates. Under the new bill, the present exemption of $60,000, which applies to all estates is supplemented by a series of credits to equal $120,000 this January, and ultimately $175,000 in 1981. A unified schedule has been established for both estates and gifts. Effective Jan. 1,1977, the bill' extends the period for paying estate taxes on a farm or family business up to 15 years. This allows the tax to be deferred for up to 5 years (although the interest must be paid annually), and then paid in several installments over the next 10 years. The interest rate on taxes on farm and business property is 4 percent for the first $1 million in taxes. Under the new provisions in the bill, farm or closely held business property in the U.S. may be valued for tax purposes on the basis of its agricultural or business use, rather than on its highest potential use. In order to qualify, the farm or business must have constituted a substantial part of the decedant's estate, and must have been owned and run by the family for at least 5 of the preceding 8 years. The tax benefits provided by this may be "recaptured" by the government if the operation is sold or converted to other uses. The bill enlarges the current marital deduction for all estates, to $250,000. Present law allows 50 percent of the estate to be exempted, and that provision may still be used for larger estates. In order to regain some of the revenue lost by these changes, the new bill tightens up the rules for capital gains treat­ ment of estate property, making it taxable as of the date of purchase (after January 1), rather than the date of death. The bill also provides for taxation of generation-skipping transfer bequests. Other provisions of the bill, not related to estate taxation include an extension of last years anti-recession tax cuts on individuals, and an increase in taxes on the wealthy, by means of a higher minimum income tax, and limitations on the use of artificial tax shelters. The investment tax credit of 10 percent was extended, and other provisions allow in­ creased deductions for child care, moving expenses, and retirement income. While tax reform certainly has a long way to go, I think most of the provisions in this bill were good ones. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, John B. Anderson M.C. BY ANN O. ALLEN 9 There may be a good rea­ son why you want to take time to prepare a fabulous dessert. However, for everyday dining, why not stick with two instant foods that make a great dessert? They're fruit and cheese. These foods need only., a bit of preparation: wash and chill the fruit. And the diner only has to take the cheese out of the refrigerator to cut it for serving. If you vary the fruits and cheeses, the choices are enor­ mous and need never bore you. Here are some starters: That great American favor­ ite, Cheddar, and also popular Swiss, are great with apples, pears, green grapes or honey- dew melon. Those two dessert cheese favorites, Brie and Camem- bert, pair well With green grapes, pineapple, apples or plums. Fontina, a robust and somewhat salty cheese with a firm texture, is great with honeydew or cantaloupe, pine­ apple, apples or grapes. Blue cheese or Gorgonzola taste good with pineapple, pears, apples or many of the melons. Take taste flights of fancy with other cheeses and fruits. You'll find many rewarding and lovely dessert combina­ tions. And remember, there's no cooking involved.
