REGISTRATION AT JOHNSBURG SCHOOLS SET (Continued from page 1) alphabetically by last name as follows: Wednesday, A through E, 9 to 11; F through J, 1 to 3; Thursday, K through R, 9 to 11; S through Z, 1 to 3. This registration applies to all pre-school children ages 3 through 5, even if the child has been registered previous years. School officials are hopeful that all parents of children 3, 4 and 5 years of age will register on these two days. One-hundred percent registration is the goal set in order to facilitate the coordination of kindergarten placement for this coming September. Equally important is the necessity to arrange for a hearing and vision appointment (to be held in early May, for all pre-schoolers) plus providing information for the pre-school diagnostic screening (to be held in early August). Details concerning these screenings will be provided at the registration and through future press releases and school notices. In attempting to provide complete and convenient services for district residents it is important that parents register at this time. The district will be working in conjunction with county agencies to comply with existing Illinois legislation regarding pre-school programs. TMis 3, 4, and 5-year-old registration is very important and necessary in order to ef­ ficiently and adequately pro­ vide quality programs for Dis­ trict 12 residents. The annual registration serves as an in­ formal census for the district Voter League ERA Talk For Presents Public The League of Women Voters of Woodstock-McHenry invites the public to attend its April 13 meeting, "The ERA~What's All the Fuss?" It will be held at the First Presbyterian church, Tryon and Calhoun streets, Woodstock, beginning promp­ tly at 9:30 a.m. The much-debated proposed 27th amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex". Sections two and three deal with im­ plementation of the amend­ ment. The National Women's party wrote the ^first Equal Rights amendment which was in­ troduced in the U.S. Congress in 1923. It was proposed again session after session. Finally, after extensive hearings and debate, the • House of Representatives approved the ERA by a vote of 354 to 23 and sent it on to the Senate. On March 22, 1972, the Senate approved it by a vote of 84 to 8. To date, the ERA has been ratified by thirty-five states, which is three states short of the three-fourths required for ratification. Thus far, the Illinois Legislature has not ratified despite the existence of an "equal protection" clause r e g a r d i n g s e x u a l discrimination in /its state Constitution. The time limit for ratification is seven years; so it must be ratified by March 22, 1979. Thursday, League members will discuss the law as it relates to the ERA, and will examine what they term as myths that surround this amendment. The public is invited.

Tax Tips For Late Filers With the help of the 7-point checklist on the back of this year's Illinois income tax return (IL-1040), state tax­ payers can avoid errors that cause processing and refund delays, officials of the Illinois Department of Revenue ad­ vised. They said that simple errors like forgetting to sign the return or to attach W-2s can add weeks to the processing of a refund. A mistake can also result in interest charges for the taxpayer if taxes are due the state. Department records con­ sistently show that taxpayers who wait to file near the tax deadline are more likely to make errors than those who file early. One way of avoiding common filing errors is to use the 7-point checklist on the reverse side of the IL-1040 form which reminds taxpayers to: also; therefore all parents are encouraged to make necessary arrangements so their children can be registered. If anyone is unable to come at the assigned time, the school will cooperate at a time that is convenient. . The schedule is set up to avoid overcrowding and should be adhered to, if at all possible. Anyone who knows of parents who Jhave 3, 4 and 5-year-old children who would nol be receiving this notice, they are asked to share it with them. Any questions concerning registration may be directed to Scott Seaborn, principal, Johnsburg Middle school.

What are some of the major programs proposed by Gov. James R. Thompson in his fiscal 1979 budget for senior citizens? A. One of the key proposals in the proposed budget is an ex­ tension of circuit breaker property tax relief to about 35,000 elderly and disabled persons. This would be ac­ complished by raising the in­ come ceiling for circuit breaker from $10,000 to $12,000 bringing total tax relief under the circuit breaker payments to $105 million. Another highlight of the proposed budget includes an appropriation of $2.5 million in manpower programs to place senior citizens in unsubsidized jobs and community service work. Improving transportation facilities for senior citizens is accomplished in the proposed document by providing $203 million for support and im­ provement of public tran­ sportation and rail services. This would include $22.5 million to continue a special program of reduced fares for the elderly and students. Also, the budget calls for utilizing nearly $1 million in federal funds for the purchase of specially equipped vehicles for the transportation' of the elderly and handicapped. Q. What does the budget propose, if anything, in regard to home care for senior citizens? A. Over $17 million in social services for senior citizens, an increase of 59 percent over FY 78, has been proposed for the new budget. Studies indicate that from 25 to 40 percent of the people in nursing homes don't need to be there if services were provided for them in their communities. The goal for state government in this area will be to keep as many elderly people as possible living and func­ tioning in their owp homes near friends and families. Too many older persons are placed in nursing homes where they become forgotten people. The Department on Aging has requested $1.8 million for the Alternative Care program which would increase the number of centers from three to fourteen. This represents an increase of 138 percent in that area. There would be two new centers located in the Chicago area and one in each of the other planning and service areas of the state. The Alternative Care program includes activities such as adult day care, homemaker, housekeeping, counseling and health screening services. Ex­ penditures for nutrition programs would increase $1.8 million for fiscal year 1979 to $13.7 million serving over 100,000 persons in 425 locations. Write or call us at Lieutenant Gov. Dave O'Neal's Senior Action centers at 160 North La Salle, Chicago, 111., 60601, or 3 West Old Town Mall, Springfield, 111., 62701, with questions or concerns about any government agency or programs.
