McClory Report by Congressman Robert McClory "AH Savers Plan" Many, if not moat, thrift organizations Have ex­ perienced substantia] losses in deposits in recent months occasioned by high inflation and the transfer of savings to money market funds government securities, particularly Treasury certificates which pay high interest rates. In an effort to revive in­ terest in more traditional practices of thrift, savings and loan institutions, commercial banks and credit unions are supporting a so-called "All Savers Plan". This program, as authorized in the current tax bill or in the proposed All Savers Tax act (H.R. 3456 and S. 1279), would permit the issuance of one year tax exempt savings certificates at attractive interest rates. tfniMSQlttC the professional do-it-yourself carpet cleaning system First Hour of Rental $1.00 per hour . . . for •very hour thereafter.

In other words, such All Savers Tax certificates would produce a tax free return to individuals at about 10 percent on the basis of current interest rates. It is represented, primarily by savings and loan officials,-that the tax exempt feature of such savings certificates would attract Americans back to gpUCATIOMAL | j College Honors Jeffrey Aim Earns Degree Jeffrey Scott Aim, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Aim of 4204 W.

The concept is supported not only by savings and loan associations and banks but has substantial support among realtors and home builders who view funds invested in All Savers cer­ tificates as a potential source of money for making home mortgages. This, in turn, could serve as a spark to the construction of new homes and would cause the housing industry to become far more active. Estimated losses of revenues by the Treasury department are in the area of $400 million for next year and over $3.1 billion over the next three years. However, proponents of the measure, borrowing an argument from the Reagan ad­ ministration, contend that the improvements in the housing market and other aspects of the economy would result in increased net federal revenues. According to the All Savers plan only individuals - not businesses - would be eligible to purchase such Treasury certificates in denominations of $1,000 and the tax exemption would be limited to $1,000 per in­ dividual or $2,000 on a joint > tax return. W h i l e a l t e r n a t i v e proposals are being con­ sidered, including revision of the Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA's) to permit exemption from taxes of funds deposited in such retirement programs, the big push is now centered on the All Savers Tax cer­ tificates. According to Vice- President Rick Hohlt of the United States League of Savings Associations, "No one has come up with a better idea." Gran Lake 4-Her PAGE 17 • PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY.

He is organizing a county bicycle clinic for Aug. 12. The board commended Borchardt, member of the Greenwood Gremlins 4-H club, for his efforts and asked him to keep the board informed of his project's results and needs. The organization is happy to hear proposals of this sort from any youth or youth oriented organization, according to President Larry West. In other business, Gini McConnell reported on the 900 letters written and mailed to membership prospects as the final thrust in the 1981 drive. Mailed on June 25, initial results look promising, according to the report from Jane Dahm, treasurer. A concerted effort is being made to include solicitation for all of the year's financial needs in one membership effort, begun this year in March with an initial membership mailing. Still to be contacted are 4-H dubs, leaders and supporters. The board agreed mat they wish to publicize their purpose as well as seek funds from these groups already associated with 4-H. When donations are made to the McHenry County 4-H Foundation the state of Illinois provides matching money. This extra money helps to extend the programs provided for McHenry county 4-H and youth, enabling the donation to stretch farther. ~ - !
