Arrangements for the second iual post-Christmas study to Egypt, Israel and the „ Land are now being --inalized at McHenry County college and Oakton Community tottege. "Plans call for a 16-day visit to ihe Middle East, Dec. 29-Jan. 13. The tour includes round trip flight from Chicago, most meals, board in Israeli and Egyptian hotels and tourist hotels and all tours. College credit is available through either college. The three-credit course, Con­ trasting Cultures of the Ancient and Modern Middle East, will be taught jointly by two in­ structors, Erwin Cornelius, Division of Social Sciences and instructor in International Relations at McHenry County college, and Leon Intrater, Division of Social Sciences and instructor in psychology at Oakton Community college. The instructors will offer several seminars at their colleges in December before departure to give participants a better preparation for what they will see and learn abroad. Intrater is a native of Israel and is well versed on Jewish History and religious traditions while Cornelius has previously led groups to the Middle East, emphasizing Christian sites and traditions. The course and lour will emphasize the contrasting cultures in the Middle East by way of visits to Christian sites such as Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem's Via Dolorosa, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and Cairo's ABU-Sirgha church where, Jesus and his family took refuge. There will be visits to Jewish sites including Masada,- the Tombs of the Patriarchs in Hebron, and the Wailing Wall, the Last Rem­ nant of David's Temple; and to • Moslem Religious sites such as the Temple Mount, Mosque of Mohammed Ali, ihe IBN Touloun Mosque as well as the Pyramids ana temples of the kings and queens in Luxor, Egypt. The group will study modern life styles in the two countries with brief stopovers in Jordan and Morocco. Modern life will be explored through meetings and discussions with govern­ ment and college personnel and students from the host coun­ tries. Specific issues to be studied include the new Egyptian-Israeli Peale agreement, the Palestinian Impasse, the Kibbutz form of social structure and others. A study guide and course syllabus listing itinerary and readings are available to in­ terested participants.

Alliance Holds Old Fashion Church Day IASB In Favor Of New Tax The Illinois Association of School Boards, (IASB), is helping defend the state's new replacement tax for the cor­ porate personal property tax. IASB has been granted permission by the Illinois Supreme court to file an amicus curiae (freind-of-the-court) brief in defense of the tax against law suits brought by a number of Illinois businesses. Several companies subject to the tax are challenging the tax on the grounds that it is un­ constitutional. "The validity of this replacement tax is of vital concern to the school boards of Illinois," said Jonathan T. Howe, president of IASB. "Nearly every school district in the state relied tb some extent on the corporate per­ sonal property, tax, some of them heavily. The state con­ stitution requires that this lost revenue be replaced and we believe the tax on corporate income is a valid source." The IASB brief will make up part of the defense of House Bill 2569, recently signed into law by Governor James Thompson. The bill provides for a tax on the income of corporations, partnerships, trusts, and on the invested capital of utilities, with the revenue distributed to local governments that lost revenue when the corporate personal property tax was abolished Jan. 1, 1979. Two lawsuits have been filed challenging the tax, but the two will be combined in a single case to be heard by the Supreme court on Sept. 19, in Springfield. One case was brought by a corporation and a utility (Continental Illinois National bank and Central Illinois Light company). The other was brought by a part­ nership (Paul W. Swanson and other partners in Chapel Hill Properties, of Chicago). The suits challenge the tax on eleven separate issues, in­ cluding: the governor exceeded his powers in amending the house bill; the tax raises more money than is needed to replace the old tax; and the bill shifts the tax burden from some types of businesses to other types. "If the replacement tax is found unconstitutional, Illinois school districts will lose more than $300 million," Howe said. "The result would be devastating for those districts that would lose 40 to 50 percent of their annual income." Headstones to mark the graves of 225,435 eligible beneficiaries were furnished last year by the Veterans ad­ ministration's Department of Memorial Affairs. This in­ cluded over 2,800 which were shipped outside the continental United States. Village Does Weed Cutting A number of complaints were made about the weeds on village property not getting cut Hay fever season is still with us and those who suffer from it were glad to see the weeds go. Trustee Bill Mitchell and his son, Bill, spent a weekend getting weeds cut around the village. Hay fever sufferers breathe a sigh of relief. New street signs are being put up around the village. Soon the new "Welcome to Sunnyside" will be seen, too, TWINS BORN TO FORMER RESIDENT Richard and Gussie Gamperl, former residents of the village of Sunnyside, became the proud parents of twins Aug. 29. The twins, a boy, Ryan Thomas, weighing 6 lbs., 4 oz., and a girl, Karen Augusta, weighing 6 lbs., 14 oc., were born at the McHenry hospital. The Gamperls now reside in McHenry. Welcoming the twins home was their 2- year-old brother, Robert. The twins are the grandchildren of Ann and Rudy Gamperl, Sunnyside drive, Sunnyside. Ryan and Karen also have a number of aunts, uncles, and cousins many who live in McHenry and Sunnyside. BIRTHDAYS This week's birthday greetings go to Rich Fredricks, whose day is Sept. 20.
