Think Safety! - Dttft Get la Over Your Hial This SiMir A Service of Underwriteri Laboratoriet Inc. ^t«r • porta, such at aki ^ ^ • int, toiling, fishing and boat­ ing, are all great summer fun but you can get yourself in trouble over your head if you' cast off unprepared. » Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL), an independent not-for-profit organization that has teated products for public safety aince 1894, cautions that the time for equipping your boat with the proper Personal Flotation De­ vices (PFD'a) is now - before you set aail for the aummer montha. Personal Flotation Devices (life jackets) come in various designs and sizes and should be purchased with your par­ ticular needs in mind. You ahould check the U.S. Coast Guard requirements for your size boat before buying. Those PFD deaigna that bear the UL label have been aubjected to ,d teats and comply with ai uigent U.S. Coaat Guard aafety requirements There are three typea of PFD'a which are deaigned for recreational boating. There are PFD'S (Type II) which are designed to main­ tain an unconscioua wearer face up in the water. On the other hand, aome PFD'a (Type III) are designed so that the wearer can place himself upright in the water and the PFD will have no tendency to turn him face down. Buoyant cushions snd ring life bouya (Type IV) are de­ aigned to be thrown to a person in the water. Never wear a bouyant cushion on your back -- it can turn you face down in the water. There are specific PFD's designed for every aize peraon. A child^a PFD doea not have enough bouyancy for an adult and a child could alip out of an adult'a PFD. Alwaya uae the proper aize for you. Once you have your PFD'a, their care and atorage ia alao important. Be aure that they are dry and atored in a well ventilated place. Not in the bottom of lockers or deck storage boxes where moisture may accumulate. • Keep the PFD'a aWay from excessive hest.

UL adviaea that PFD's be worn at all timea when some­ one is in or near the water. In this way you can keep from getting in over your head when boating this season. CONSUMER GUIDELINES • Avoid sbusing the; de­ vices by uaing them aa boat fendera or kneeling pada. • Torn, ripped, or other­ wise defective PFD'a ahould Depending on type, your toilet uses three to seven g a l l o n s o f w a t e r p e r flushing. Less frequent flushing -- or, water saving devices -- in the toilet can help reduce your water bill. Also, check faucets for drips A mere 60 drips a minute can waste up to 2,200 gallons of water per year Being raised on a farm in the small, close-knit com­ munity of Cabin Run in Doddridge County,' West Virginia, 85 year old Mrs. Laura Nutter can tell you what it's like to care enough about your neighbors to lend a hand--during the bad times as well as the good. "It's just a natural thing around here for folks to help one another," Mrs. Nutter told a writer from the National Council on the Aging. "I can remember some bad times of my own when people cared enough to help me out." Before she married Mar­ shall Nutter, Laura taught school for several years. After their marriage, she served as matron at the jail where her husband was sheriff, cooking for the pris­ oners as well as caring for her home and family. In later years both Nut­ ters became charter mem­ bers of the local Senior Citi­ zens club, with Mrs. Nutter serving as the club's first president. Afterherhusband'sdeath, Mrs. Nutter remained very active in the club. "I devote most of my time to Senior Citizens," Mrs. Nutter said. "Right now we are in the process of putting up a new building and there is plenty of work to be done." raise money for th£ CLEANING SERVICE INC PROFESSIONAL Small Office & Household CLEANING • Weekly • light H.K • Bi-Weekly • Inside Windows • Monthly • Carpet Cleaning • General H.K. or Maid Service CALL 385-0283 TODAY • Upholstery Cleaning • Wall Washing •m.

There's so A SMOKE DETECTOR may be one of the most im­ portant investments you'll ever make. Recent studies indicate that smoke detec­ tors have the potential to prevent up to 41 per cent of deaths due to home fire. Smoke detectors are sens­ ing devices that blare at the first sign of smoke, alerting the family to the possibility of fire. There are a variety of brands on the market but only two basic kinds of smoke detectors. Photoelectric detectors use household current. They have a tendency to become less sensitive with age and have a light source that burns out eventually, re­ quiring replacement. Ion detectors can use either household current or batteries. Unlike photoelec­ tric detectors, ion detectors become more sensitive over time. Because they can be battery-operated, ion detec­ tors are convenient since they are self-contained and can be installed anywhere. Batteries must be replaced at least every year.

Retirees Ask Comment On Proposed Tax Reform Proposed tax reforms ap­ proved by a major retiree organization with more than 500,000 older Illinois members are being sent for comment to the Democratic and Republican candidates for Governor and all current members of the state legislature Principal recommendations of the Joint State Legislative committee of the National Retired Teachers association- American Association of Retired Persons are: 1) Increased use of progressive income taxes and reduced use of regressive property and sales taxes because of the dispropor­ tionately greater impact of property and sales taxes upon the elderly 2) Complete exemption from sales taxes of food items for home consumption and pharmaceuticals The per­ centage rate of the sales tax would have to be increased-to compensate for the resulting revenue loss 3) Liberalization on a rising scale of three to five exemp tions granted to individuals based on age Three for each person at age 70. 4 at age 75. and 5 at age 85 and above The committee believes that federal income tax treatment of older persons should also apply at the state level 4) No tax of any kind would be imposed on profits from sale of a house owned and occupied as a residence by the owner for ten consecutive years or more 'Irt addition prices in sales of personal residences would be automatically adjusted to reflect the general appreciation in property values caused by inflation 5) In order to provide interim relief before reduction of the real estate tax can become effective, the committee recommends improvement of the Circuit Breaker law or Homestead Exemption act Adoption of an indexing system to elevate benefits in step with the Consumer Price index increases is proposed This would eliminate the necessity of the General Assembly ••overhauling" these laws each session to grant necessary relief For instant garnishes, freeze rosettes or dollops of whipped cream on wax paper and pack in freezer containers.

C. -- Millions of g$lf fans are hop­ ing Arnold Palmer can win one more big tournament. He came close in the recent • Kemper--leading after two days--and played superb golf on several other occasions this year. But Arnie can't seem to put four good rounds back to back any more. First his putting went. Yet in the first two days at Charlotte his putting was strong. Arnie doesn't need the money. But Jack Nicklaus, who replaced Arnie as king, still wins often- Palmer, has suffered an eclipse that has shut him out for years. It was almost as if when the spell was broken, his magic left forever. But if Sam Snead can still play with the top pros at his age, there's hope for the "peepul'sffherce,' 'Arnold Pal­ mer. What is it about the . Pennsylvanian that makes him so popular with fans? It has to be his good nature and that recently-missing ability to put on a great charge- coming from behind to win. He still has his fans, and many loyally follow him around the course. Maybe 1978 will be the year he wins big again--after a long drought. How that would please the army!
