PAGi: 22 - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY, MAY M, 1*1 STATE HOUSE PASSES TRANSPORTATION BILL (Continued from page 1) suburban Cook county (a decrease) and a 14 percent sales tax (no change) in the five collar counties. Furthermore, all of the tax collected in McHenry county would be used in the county, the aide said. The CTA would be responsible for generating and collecting its own revenues from within its boundaries and. either cutting services or in­ creasing revenues to meet costs. The bill charges the STC with han­ dling the administration of bus districts and„ commuter railroad lines in suburban Cook and the collar counties. Where CTA lines cross into the STC territory, purchase of service agreements would be worked out between the two corporations, the aide noted. The bill will be sent to the Illinois Senate and it is expected to be a couple of weeks before the bill reaches com­ mittee. MUSIN' AND Learning In Exchange MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) minutes another four or five appeared and passed us. By the end of the long drive, hundreds of drivers had done the same. We felt a little like the youngster on the kiddie car who is constantly passed up by his chum steering a 3-wheel bike. Even though we are opposed to a change in the law, increasing the speed limit at least would prevent a mockery of legislation we live with. Monday morning, with the above experience in mind, we observed a young bicyclist approach the in­ tersection of Waukegan and Green streets He was southbound enroute to school and was oblivious of the fact that cars were stopped from all directions while he pursued his course with no obstacles in his path. Yet the law tells us bicycle riders must obey the same Rules of the Road as motorists and pedestrians. And there are 100 million Americans riding them this spring. They are required to stop before reaching a school bus which has stopped to load or unload passengers; they are prevented from weaving from One lane to another; and they must watch for people getting in and out of parked cars, and for cars pulling into traffic from a curb or driveway. is everyone in agreement? We have enough laws on the docket -- now let's enforce some of those that are most important. KAF Susan Marten, 14, of England,' and Patricio Sepulveda, It, of Chile, are shown with Ms. Cathy Abreu, Spanish teacher at Johnsburg high school. The two yonng people came to learn more about American life through the exchange programs and brought some of their culture to share with new friends. COLLEGE CLOSING McHenry County college will be closed Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial day. Regular summer office hours will resume Tuesday, May 26. Johnsburg high school students have had the opportunity to learn about the customs, education and lifestyle of two foreign countries, Chile and England. Both countries have been represented by an exchange student, one of whom remains through the year. The other recently returned to her home. Patricio Sepulveda, 16, is a second- semester junior in his homeland of Chile, and will become a senior after the South American "summer vacation". In Chile, Patricio has two brothers and two sisters. His father is a lawyer and his mother is a retired physical education teacher. After school he practices soccer, basketball and sometimes volleyball. On weekends he enjoys tennis. In America, Patricio is working very hard on his English and has greatly improved since his arrival in Sep­ tember. His interpreter and English guide is Cathy Abreu, Spanish teacher. Students often go to the high school level in Chile and many graduate, even though there is no law requiring them to go to school until a certain age, as in the United States to age 16. A college education is also desirable in Chile because jobs are difficult to get and many of them require higher education and specialization. Even a street sweeper must have a high school education. People without an education usually do menial tasks or work in one of Chile's mines or farms, the exchange student explained. It also exports and produces many agricultural products, such as grapes, potatoes, tomatoes, aftd corn. ' After high school. Patricio plans to take a five-year course at a university to study architecture.Then he hopes to return to the United States for further study, perhaps a doctorate. Mrs. Abreu said that education in Chile is quite different than it is here. Studies are traditional (lecturing) in style and extremely competitive with demanding professors. This requires the student to do a great deal of in­ dependent study. She said that it is not uncommon for students to fail in college classes. If they fail they must repeat the class and a five-year course often extends to seven or eight years. Susan Marten, 14, came to "broaden" her outlook on life as Johnsburg's ex­ change student from England. She recently returned home. This was Sue's first foreign travel and she spoke of her amazement that the Johnsburg area is so open and spread out (rural). Her own home in West midlands, 140 miles northwest of London, is more con jested, with homes closer together. During her stay here, she lived with her cousin, Ruth Cepuder, and family in Ringwood. She also visited relatives in Missouri and went to Arizona by car for a two-week stay. Sue said that in England students go to high school for five years, from age 11 to 16 There are about 400 students in each year (class) at her school, and each year has a Head (master or principal) with a Head Master (superintendent) over the whole school. Discipline,she said,is much the same in England as it is here. They have detentions in her school, but no suspensions. However, there are rumors that if for misbehavior, "yotfli get the toarfe (a leather strap)". t On the question or respect teachers, Sue said that here a student can talk to a teacher just like anothe^ person. "There is not much superiority displayed, but in England it is not so much that way. In England, it depends on the teacher's personality." Sue is interested in journalism and while here wrote two articles for the Johnsburg school paper. One of her articles dealt with teenage alcholism in school, which she said is much more of a problem in England than drugs. Sue plans to finish high school in England and go on to a university. Her course of study is not determined yet, but she hopes to come back to the United States "in about four years as a visit or maybe a stay. It depends on what job opportunities I get."

Replacement Taxes To Local Government Units Deadlines Set Ahead Because of the observance of Memorial day Monday, May 25, deadlines for the first issue of the holiday week will be moved ahead.

The Plaindealer office will be closed May 25. Checks totaling $67.6 million in corporate personal property replacement taxes have been sent to local units of government as one of eight payments to be made during 1981, according to J. Thomas Johnson, director of the Illinois Department of Revenue. The total distributed so far this year is $143.9 million~or more than a fourth of the $510 million expected to be distributed this year. Johnson said. The replacement taxes, authorized ' by the Illinois General Assembly in August, 1979, substitute for funds lost to local governments when the corporate personal property tax was abolished by the 1970 state constitution The larp<'1' share of this replacement tax money- or 52 percent- goes to the state's 1,018 public school districts. Coming in second in the amount received are the state's 1,281 municipalities, which receive 20 per­ cent of the total. Next are the state's 102 counties, which receive a little under 9 percent; park districts receive 5 • percent; sanitary districts and junior college districts each receive nearly four percent; road districts and townships each receive under two )EV»EL CATALOG OUTLET STORE • JEWEL CATALOG OUTLET STORE • JEWEL CATALOG OUTLET STORE MERCHANDISE CLEARANCE CENTER | A DIVISION OF iEWfl 2T T: *. * ? 5 DIRECT MARKETING .

Other districts, each of which received less than one percent of the total, include forest preserves, fire, library, airport, mass transit, hospital, conservation, TB sanitorium, public health, mosquito, street lighting and water authority. Under the new system, taxes are collected by the state revenue depart­ ment and the money is distributed to the local governments. Beginning in 1981, distributions are to be made eight times a year, rather than the quarterly schedule followed last year. Payments are scheduled for January, March, April, May, July, August, October and December. The 1981 payments will be an estimated eight percent lower than the $552.8 million distributed during 1980. This decline. Johnson explained, is due to the combination of (1) a slowed economy and (2) a decrease in the tax rate on corporations (the rate went from 2.85 percent to 2.5 percent ef­ fective Jan. 1, 1981. The replacement taxes are: (1) a 2.5 percent income tax on corporations; (2) a 1.5 percent income tax on part­ nerships, trusts, and sub-chapter S corporations; and (3) a 0.8 percent tax on the invested capital of utilities. 7 D A Y S A L E LIQUOR SPECIALS 331 N.
