Dr. Miller At Conference On Bronchoscopy Maintain Septic System To Cut Health Hazard HERE AND THERE IN BUSINESS New Business DR. BERNARD G. MILLER Bernard G. Miller, M.D. recently attended the World Conference on Bronchoscopy in San Francisco, sponsored by • the American College of Chest '.Physcians and the American Broncho-Esophangological asso­ ciation. Dr. Miller had previously studied the application of flexible fiberoptic bron­ choscopes with Dr. Donald C. Zavala, professor of medicine at the University of Iowa College of Medicine and a foremost authority on in­ novations in the field of bronchoscopy. "The fiberoptic bron­ choscope has been a great boon to chest physicians," Dr. Milelr says. "The flexible and light- transmitting characteristics of fiberoptic bronchoscopes enable us to verify diagnoses visually and with biopsies, to introduce medications with pin­ point accuracy, take cultures, remove fluids, take small bacteriologic samples, and remove foreign bodies from the lungs. The three-day meeting brought together chest physicians from Europe as well A septic disposal system that does not function properly can become a neighborhood health hazard, says Dale Vanderholm, University of Illinois agricultural engineer. The septic tank should be located where it will not en­ danger water supplies, says Vanderholm. And the ab­ sorption field must be capable of disposingof liquid wastes under year round weather conditions. Vanderholm cautions homeowners about building patios, driveways an^ garages over septic systems, and warns against any operation which might compact the soil absorption field. Most people who live in communities with a common sewage disposal system rarely think about what they are flushing through their sewers. Septic tank owners need to be more careful. Oils, coffee grounds, paper towels, disposable diapers, newspaper, plastic and sanitary napkins do not decompose easily and should not be put into a septic system, says Vanderholm. And unlike a community sewer system, a septic tank system has a limited water capacity. Therefore, Van­ derholm says, it is important as the United States to discuss new applications of the bron­ choscope, documentation technique and other subjects, according to Dr. Miller. Dr. Miller, on the medical staff of McHenry hospital, is associated with the McHenry Medical group as an internist. He is a graduate of the Chicago Medical school and took his internship and residency in internal medicine at Mt. Sinai Medical center, Chicago. He was chief of the pulmonary and communicable disease department, Letterman General hospital; fellow in pulmonary disease, National Institutes of Health; and local chairman of the Lung association of McHenry County. He has been a clinical instructor at the Chicago Medical school and Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola university, before coming to McHenry in 1968. that unnecessary water such as foundation drains, water sof­ teners, gutters and downspouts be routed away from the septic system. Even though the garbage disposal is sometimes thought to be an essential piece of equipment, V it should be restricted to use only where community sewer systems exist. Garbage disposals will increase the solids in the average septic system by 50 percent. This increase in solid waste will shorten the necessary interval between septic tank cleanings. The frequency of cleaning depends on the size of the tank and the number of people it services. Generally, pumping the tank every two years will remove the sludge ac­ cumulation. Adding enzymes or additives has not proven ef­ fective to avoid cleaning the tank, warns Vanderholm. With regular cleaning and some caution exercised in the types and amounts of wastes allowed to enter the system, a properly installed and sized septic tank system should function well for many years. Above all, Vanderholm suggests that homeowners be careful about the amount of water they put through a septic system.

One of the most recent ad­ ditions to the McHenry business district is McHenry Office Supply, located at 1260 N. Green. With the nearest office supply store almost ten miles from McHenry, store owner, Terry Audette, hopes to be able to provide a fast, convenient and dependable service for the community. Audette was raised and educated in the McHenry area and recently returned to the community after managing Purcell's Stationery in San Carlos, Calif., for the past year and a half.

I'AGE 5 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1977 Farmers Given Minimum Rate On Tax *9,000 For Fire, snow, other Losses Preferences Increased - intangible drilling costs for oil and gas wells greater than the amount of deductions which would be deductible if in­ tangible drilling costs were capitalized and amortized over 10 years or which would be deductible over the life of the wells as cost of depletion, whichever is mcr f favorable, and --' accelerated depreciation and amortization on personal property subject to a lease (including the acceleration^hat results from the use of the 20 percent variance in useful lives authorized under the Asset Depreciation Range rules). The carryover provision eliminated by the Act applies to regular taxes that are not used to offset tax preferences in the current year. Information concerning the minimum tax is covered in the instructions included in 1040 tax packages mailed to taxpayers. Individuals can find additional information in Publication 525, "Taxable Income and Non­ taxable Income." The publication can be obtained free of charge from the IRS by writing "Pub. 525" on the handy order balnk provided in tax packages. Farmer members of the Woodstock Progressive Milk Producers association received over $9,000 in payments for losses due to fire, power failure and snow, Elwood Howell, executive secretary told annual meeting participants last week. Woodstock Progressives is one of fifteen members of the Central Milk Producers Cooperative, and Howell said as a result of the pooled efforts of former members, on the average each farmer received an additional $434 in income. "Dairy farmers worKing together through their cooperative can be effective in the marketplace and strengthen their potential for improved income," sum­ marized Howell. George Rasmussen, elected president at the board's reorganization meeting, listed- three ways the pooled effort of the 16,500 farmer members of Central Milk Producers is working to improve dairy farmer income. They include: 1 - Promotion and education efforts; 2 - Or­ derly handling of milk in the spring when the cooperative- owned plants "balance" the market; 3 - Programs to assure even distribution of milk bet­ ween regions of the country. NAMED OFFICER Arnold J. Rauen of McHenry, president and chief executive The minimum tax rate on tax preferences for individual taxpayers has been increased to 15 percent, beginning with tax year 1976, the Internal Revenue Service said. The rise from 10 percent was called for by the Tax Reform act of 1976. Tax preferences are special deductions and deferrals of tax liability such as the 50 percent of a net long-term capital gain that is not taxable, according to the IRS. Another provision in the Tax Reform „ act boosts the minimum tax on tax preferences by reducing the deduction from amounts subject to the tax to $10,000 or half the amount of regular tax liability, whichever, is greater. The new law also affected the minimum tax by adding three tax preference items and eliminating the carryover of unused regular taxes, the IRS noted. The new preference items are: - itemized deductions (other than medical and casualty loss deductions) greater than 60 percent of adjusted gross in­ come; officer of the Bank for Savings and Loan associations, has announced the election of Donald D.
