This McHenry Area Soccer Federa- The tax on cigarettes in Illinois has not been raised since 1969 and scheduled to drop on October 1,1985 from the current 16 cents to 8 cents. The American Lung Association of DuPage and McHenry counties strongly endorses the proposal for a higher state excise tax on cigarettes. By supporting an 8 cents Cigarette Excise Tax Amendment to S.B. 1273 during this next two week period before the legislature adjourns, you can help reduce the number deaths and illnesses linked to smoking in Illinois and generate $112 million in badly needed new revenues. Studies show that a 10 percent increase in a package of cigarettes by 14 percent causes teenagers and young adults to cut down their consumption Tractors of all kinds bring many to the fair : Antique tractors, stock four wheel-drive trucks and farm tractors comprise one - of the ^McHenry County Fair's biggest attractions.
