These and other changes are contained in the "prisoner of War Health Care Benefits Act of 1961", which was signed into law by President Reagan Aug. 14. The new law is designed to meet the needs of the estimated 100,000 former prisoners of war. A joint Veterans administration- Department of Defense study in 1900 found these veterans have higher in- cidencea of physical and psychological disabilities because of confinement that was characterized by starvation diets, lack of medical care and inhumane treatment.

It will act as a tenderizer if applied to both surfaces of a steak two or three days before broiling. In the pork department you'll find good buys on picnics and hams. Select a picnic that is firm to the touch and has a small outside layer of fat. Select a ham with a small center fat pocket. The larger the fat pocket, the fewer slices you will get. Some boneless hams are selling at bargain pric es in some stores, and are Fine for low cost casseroles, sand wiches, cold plates or main entrees. • * * • Regardless of what some people say, most of us want to do the right thing, even though we don't do it. The Woodstock Musical Theatre company has an nounced its fall, 1911, cast for "Company".

He's been swinging around New York with at least three gorgeous girls (Marta, Kathy, April), now, suddenly, it's time to the pros and cons of wedded bliss. The story teaches endearing Robert about marriage through the hilarious matches and mismatches of five couples. Roger Anderson of Rolling Meadows makes" his debut with the Woodstock Musical Theatre Company as Robert.

Seat Belts-Life Insurance Strict enforcement of the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit has cut Illinois' traffic death toll to 1,049 fatalities for the first seven months of 1981 from 1,083 for the same period last year. Captain Hugh S. McGinley, commander of State Police district 15, would like to cut that death toll even more and knows how it can be done at no cost to the motorists. Statistics indicate that a national death toll of over 50,000 traffic deaths per year and a state toll of 1994 per year could be cut from 25 to 50 percent if all motorists would only use their seat belts. At present, only 9 percent of the people riding in motor vehicles use seat belts. "Here in Illinois that could save 499 to 997 lives per year," McGinley stated. People always seem to find some excuse why they won't wear their seat belts. The most popular one is the misconception of being trapped inside the vehicle in case of fire or falling into the water. Accident records show that less than one percent of those who die in traffic accidents are trapped in the vehicle. In most cases the victims have been knocked unconscious by impact with the windshield or some other part of the car interior. Another excuse is that "I might be saved if I'm thrown clear of the car in an ac cident." Wrong, according to police. The fact is that chances of being killed are almost 25 times greater if one is thrown from the vehicle. Captain McGinley added, "In times when coats are rising daily, I'm surprised that people don't take ad vantage of the free life and accident insurance by just fastening their seat belts. • • * • Character established year. is in a never single * * * • It's good busniess, especially in family deals, to keep the record straight. MEN I ALL-SAVERS CERTIFICATES ...Some Straight Talk From The First! 'Available October ̂ 5 The First National Bank of McHenry will offer The All-Savers Certificate ...But Before You Decide Whether It's Right For You, Read the Information Below. The Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981, with certain restrictions, authorizes a maximum lifetime exclusion of $1,000 ($2,000 in the case of a joint return) issued from gross income for interest earned in All- Savers Certificates which (1) Are issued from October 1, 1981 through December 31, .1982 (2) Have a maturity of one year (3) Are offered in denominations of $500, but can also be of fered in any other denominations. (4) Have an annual investment yield equal to 70% of the average investment yield for the most recent 52 week U.S. Treasury bill The annual yield beginning October 1 will be 12.61 %. This rate will only be in effect for the first few days of October. The next monthly auction of 52 week bills will be held October 1, producing a new All- Savers rate effective Monday, October 5. Because of its tax-free nature, this certificate will be useful for many savers. To help you decide whether or not it would.be useful to you, we present a number of facts for consideration. •To make the certificates attractive to you (strictly on an af ter-tax basis) you should be in a marginal tax bracket of 30% or more ($15,000 taxable income after exemptions for an in dividual, and $24,600 for a joint return). •Substantial penalties will be imposed if you decide to cash in an All-Savers certificate before its 12 month maturity. The saver will lose the tax benefit in addition, 90 days interest will be forfieted. v *Since $1,000 of interest ($2,000 for joint returns) from the certificate will be tax-free, it is not to your advantage to deposit more that is required to reach that level.
