Animal Control keeps a complete listing of all pets lost afid found. Sometimes the volume of calls they receive prevents therti from making matches unless the dog or cat is of a specific pedigree or there is something very identifiable. The only sure way to check is with a visit to the center. Many mixed breeds can be returned to their homes if the owner will take the time to come in and check every few days. Help save a life, notify everyone, everywhere and keep trying. fm THE GAS PUMP When To Tuneup "The telltale signs are when your car's gasoline mileage begins to worsen or when the car becomes hard to start, or when it idles rough or stalls at a traf­ fic light. A tuneup could mean as much as 40 extra miles to a 20 gallon tank of gas. It is doubtful that many burglars have studied economics, but with the price of gold and silver higher than ever before it doesn't take ' a degree in economics to know what to steal. < Due4o the precious-metal market speculation, thieves, are taking more interest than before in silverware, silver-plated ware, gold- ware, gold-plated ware and pewterware, warns the Insurance Information in-, stitute. The institute cautions consumers that with the wild fluctuation of the precious- metal prices they may not be adquately insured. Because companies vary on standard maximum limits it is best for policyholders to check their policy, and then talk with their insurance agent or company representative to be sure that they are not underinsured, suggest the institute. Regardless of company affiliation, the best move to make, according to the in­ stitute, is to have your valuables...gold, silver, jewelry or art works...scheduled. This means having each item and its value listed as part of your policy and insured for its worth so there won't be any misunderstanding if a loss occurs. Extra coverage (called a floater) is available for such items at a small price in comparison with the extra peace of mind one receives. When having valuables scheduled, the institute strongly advises consumers to have a recognized ap­ praiser determine the value of the article on the current market. For gold or silver service or place setting, it would also help to identify the pattern and the manufacturer. How better can one describe an item than to have a photo of it? Along with a written inventory, it is very advisable to have a photographic inventory. When photographing gold and silver objects, it is a good idea to arrange them on a table. , --In su r~a nee claim s executives stress the im­ portance of an inventory of the contents of your home not only in case of theft but in case of fire, too. List the item, color, manufacturer, any serial numbers, pur­ chase price and date and where it was purchased. It is difficult for your insurance claims adjustor to help you if you cannot remember what was stolen and furnish some documentation of its value. When an inventory is made in a calm, methodical and unhurried manner, it will be far more accurate than one made after a loss which has left the victim upset and suffering from the shock of the loss. Remember, a professional appraisal made before a burglar strikes is the best means of establishing the true value ot whatever is stolen. Proof is the key, for an insurance company must have evidence from the insured to justify paying on a claim. Sly Hatband Mert: "I'd like to get a divprce. My husband and I just don't get along." Gert: "Why don't you sue him for incompati­ bility?" Mert: "I would, if I could catch him at it." (Written under the auspices of Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal) Q. Are those living in apartments under the publicly subsidized housing leasing program eligible for a Rent Relief grant? A. Yes, for that part of the rent they pay themselves. They should not include the rent paid by the public agency. Q. If an apartment is heated by the tenant, can the heating cost be added to the rent? A. No! Under the law, as it now stands, only the actual rent paid can be counted as rent. Q. Do I have to pay income tax to the state or federal government on money received as a Property or Sales Tax Relief grant? A. No. It is considered as a "gift". No tax to be paid. Q. What is the difference between the Homestead Exemption and the Circuit Breaker? A. The Homestead Exemption provides senior homeowners over 65 years of age with a reduction in their real estate taxes. There is no cash rebate, it does not apply to renters or disable^ per­ sons under. 65. Applications must be made with the County Assessor, not directly to Springfield. Q. Is it possible for a person tp get both the Homestead Exemption and the Circuit Breaker? A. If eligible for both, yes. Q Has the Circuit Breaker been discontinued for any year since it started in 1972? A. Circuit Breakers for all years, 1972 through 1978 have expired. Only the 1979 Circuit Breaker can be applied for at this time. FRIDAY. FEBRUARY15.1980 Q. In showing Social Security income in the Circuit Breaker do I show what I received after the Medicare deduction? A. No. You must show your gross income. So you must add the Medicare deduction to the net amount you ac­ tually receive.
