Other notations that may be written on the envelope by the letter carrier include "deceased", "refused", "vacant, "no mail receptacle and "temporarily away". In addition to notifying the post office and correspondents of a change of address, these suggestions were offered by postmaster Smith for "stamping out" undeliverable iftail: make the address legible and as complete as possible, including full name, street and apartment number (where applicable*, city, state and zip code. When writing to a business organization, it helps to add the department name and room number to the ad­ dress "If you have any doubts about a correct zip code or have any other mail questions", Smith said, "call the post office at 385-0816 and we'll help vou" MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WOODSTOCK Recent admittances to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, included Sandra Hester, Judy Goorsky, Millie Peterson.

"Tax information on individual Retirement Savings programs". No tax is due on the con tnbution or on interest or dividends that might accrue until th<» money is withdrawn at age 59'2 or later At that time the tax could be less because you likely would be in a lower tax bracket. That means that, while working, a taxpayer who earns $10,000 could deduct the full $1500 from earnings, which would lower his or her income to $8500 while contributing In certain circumstances, taxpayers can take advantage of a roll-over provision a worker who leaves a job that had a pension plan can take a lump-sum payment from that program and use it to start an individual retirement program. Details on how to make a transfer and the amount that may be rolled over are con­ tained in Publication 590. Also, funds from one fund may be transferred to another without incurring a penalty or paying taxes on the money That means a taxpayer can switch from a conservative plan to one with more risk without tax penalty IRA's are reported on Form 5329 Return for Individual Savings Arrangement", which is attached to Form 1040 Contributions cannot be deducted unless the Form is f i l e d O n c e a n I R A i s established, the Form must be filed each eyar, even in those years in which no contribution is made Failure to file the Form carries a penalty of $io per day ($5,000 maximum). On a joint return where both spouses qualify for the deduction, two Forms must be attached, one for each spouse There are some restrictions, however First, the maximum contributions may not be ex ceeded If they are, there is a tax on the excess, contribution Second, funds mky neither be w i t h d r a w n p r e m a t u r e l y , borrowed, nor used as security for a loan A ten percent penalty is assessed on any amount withdrawn early Furthermore, the money must be listed as part of the person s taxable income for the year in which it is withdrawn Third, no cuiiii ibuiiun may be maut; afier age 70'2 And taxpayers must begin withdrawals within the year they reach that age.

The child abuser, who is often a parent who was abused himself as a child, requires immediate professional help Next: Significant Changes BIRIHS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL WOODSTOCK A daughter was born to Mr and Mrs Donald Scheppa of Wonder Lake.
