Personal Property Schedules Distributed
The Township Assessors will be distributinp the 1970 personal prop¬ erty schedules to all persons within their respective town-ihips.
Every taxpayer is required to fill out the personal property schedule. The exemption for one car and household furniture is not automatic. A request for exemption must be filed. On the reverse side of Page One you will find an "Exemption Declaration". This must be com¬ pleted to prevent being taxed csi these items. Each household is eligi¬ ble for an exemption on one (1) car used for pleasure purposes and household furniture. You may choose which car you want exempted if you have more than one. No truck of any type is eligible for exemption.
Failure to receive a schedule does not relieve any property from an assessment, as schedules may be obtained from the assessor. Failure to file or a refusal to sign a per¬ sonal property schedule gives the assessor the right to apply a 50% penalty to the assessment as made by him; therefore, make certain you file a schedtde and that both sides of Page one are signed.

Cancer Van At_ School

The van, which is a unique type, contains a two-minute slide pres¬ entation called "To Smoke or Not to Smoke" on one side of the' ex- hht, while a narrated and illust¬ rated set of slides .showing corn* parisons of normal and malignant tissues is constantly in motion on the other side.
Lung cancer is an epidemic in America! Education, and hopefully prevention of cigarette smoking in youngsters, is one of the weapons in the fight to save American lives.
