However, servicemen and women should file Illinois returns if they claim Illinois as their legal residence and if they are required to file a federal return, according to James B. Zagel, director of the Illinois'Department of Revenue. "The return and the ac­ companying W-2 form will verify that the pay is active duty pay, not taxed by Illinois," Zagel said. Pay earned by reservists ahd National Guardsmen on full-time duty, during summer training camp or in federal service during civil disturbances or national emergency also is not taxed by Illinois, Zagel said. However, reserve and Guard pay for weekly or monthly training sessions is taxed by the state. EMPLOYMENT SURVEY Representatives of the U.S. Bureau of the Census will be contacting area households the week of April 12 as part of a special survey aimed at improving national employment estimates, Stanley D. Moore, director of the bureau's regional office in Chicago, has announced. Interviews will continue to be conducted during the next 18 months during the weeks that include the twelfth and twenty-sixth calendar days of each month. Nationally, about 3,000 households throughout the U.S. are contacted each month. "The 1979 campaign results of United Ways throughout America are projected to hit $1,425 billion - up $111 million (8.5 per­ cent)" reported Frank Greenwald, president of the United Way of McHenry County. "It was another strong performance - the fourth year in a row - and represents a tremendous effort by volunteers across the country" he said, "In­ deed, here in McHenry county the United Way raised $220,352, or 104.9 percent of its $210,000 goal." United Way campaigners agree that raising money is never easy and last year the obstacles were particularly great. Higher inflation, rising unemployment and an uncertain future at the outset of the campaign seemed to be odds too great to ensure a successful 1979-80 fund drive. Unfortunately, even a successful campaign is hurt by rising inflation, and the United Way's ability to adequately fund needed services is constantly eroded. "Our society changed dramatically during the '70's," Greenwald said. "Alcoholism and drug abuse among teen-agers literally skyrocketed. The overall birth rate in this country fell - except among teen-agers. Divorce rates climbed steeply. Today, one in three marriages is expected to fail. All of these phenomena have a negative effect on our communities. v "We will need new ser- • vices to deal with these problems", he continued, "and we will have to put' more emphasis on programs that serve families, youth and minorities." The big reason why United Way can do so much for so many, nation wide, is, that m a n y b i g - h e a r t e d Americans contribute countless millions of hours every year, free of charge. Volunteers do everything from collecting money to deciding how it will be used in their local communities. So administrative costs are low, and more can be spent on needed services. Moreover, because United Way is re-created each year with a combination of old and new volunteers, it doesn't become over en­ cumbered with huge staffs of people who might actually get in the way of progress. Here, in McHenry county, the United Way operates like any other modern, well run business enterprise and succeeds in delivering the maximum human services for the dollars collected.
