Thompson signed legislation recently that will ensure that religious and charitable property remain tax exempt under the local property tax laws. * "This bill is designed to en­ sure that those properties that should be tax exempt under the law are given that exemption without fear of getting ensnarled in red tape," the governor said. The bill, which is effective immediately, contains more liberal language that defines "primary religious use" as it relates to how parsonages qualify for the exemption. It states that primary use involves a requirement by the church that the clergyman reside in the parsonage as a condition of employment. Under current law, the Department of Revenue is required to apply certain specific criteria when granting exemptions for parsonages. The new language is designed to provide explicit language in the statute books to protect these properties from taxation. Another section of Senate Bill 1384 defines "charitable" with respect to homes for the aged and developmentally disabled, saying that those homes must already qualify for tax exempt status under the Internal Revenue Code and have a waiver of fees provision in their by-laws. In addition, the bill makes necessary technical changes in law to allow the Property Tax Appeal Board to become in­ dependent of the Illinois Department of Revenue ef' fective Jan. 1, 1985. The bill affects the property tax assessment years of 1983 and later. 1. Samuel, the prophet. 2. The children of Israel. 3.

Marcy Gripp, a senior at Richmond-Burton High School and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gripp of Rich­ mond, served this summer as a missionary with Teen Missions in Asti, Italy. She was sponsored by the McHenry Evangelical Free Church and other in­ terested friends. Marcy and other teen missionaries were sent to Asti, located near the city of Turin. They did the plumbing and wired the home and church for lights. They also built a greenhouse so the missionary, Silvio Viarengo of A.B.C. Missions, can grow his own vegetables. This project was very hard work and had to be done with temperatures averaging 100 degrees during the day and cooling off to about 80 degrees at night. Teen Missions was founded in 1970 by Robert Bland, who was formerly with Youth for Christ. He realized that many teenagers had a desire to serve the Lord but they really did not want to wait years until they had completed high school and-or college. Teen Missions works with all evangelical denominations. It determines the type of manual labor projects that the resident missionary does not have time for and sends the teens in to do the work. All the teens that are accepted must raise their own support money through donations and then must un­ dergo an intensive boot camp training before they are sent to their destination. This is the second time Marcy has worked with Teen Missions. In 1982 she was sent to Scotland where she and other teens built a septic system and did some roofing and painting. Marcy is planning to make a presentation of this summer's work at the McHenry Evangelical Free Church Oct. 7, at 6 p.m. Anyone interested in her work or Teen Missions is invited to attend. The church is located at 3031 W. Lincoln Rd.
