Since this is a TAX ON PROPERTY ONLY, homeowners and business owners legitimately ask how much this will cost them in additional taxes. A horrreowner with up to 5,000 t homestead exemp ion will xpay NOTHING. A business asseod $I0,000 would pay $2.17/month or $26.00/year in additional taxes. A property owner with property valued at $I00,000, not subject to homestead exemption, would pay total tax of $74.55 each year or $6.22/month. Monies derived from this supplementary tax will provide for necessary additions to equipment, staff, and book collections. Needed repairs to buildings and replacements for bookmobiles are being considered as well. All aspects of library service will be drastically affected if the tax does not pass. The hours the library is open will be reduced in all branches There will be no Summer Reading Program and no adult programming. There will be reduced service for children--curtailed storyhours, fewer hours open at times that are convenient for school children to use the library. Additional funds for badly needed books will not be available. There will be severely reduced bookmobile service. Library staff would be reduced: people would be laid off. This is the fifth in a series of informa- tive articles about Tangipahoa Parish Library. Please remember to vote May 4. Willing Workers met By JUNE W. PITrMAN The Willing Workers Homemaker Club held its April meeting on Monday at the Ponchatoula Community Garden Center Building. The meeting was called to order by Vice President Lucille Charbonnet in the absence of the president, Rita Murtagh. Twenty-four members answered roll call. Safety ProjeciLeader Sybil Miller gave an interesting talk on the subject "The Five Medicine Guidelines." Virgie Benoit told the members about the children who participate in the Bowling Special Olympics. It was a heart-warming presentation. After the meeting refreshments were served by hostesses Ruby Dean, Sybil Miller and Maureen Felder. The club members all joined in for the White Elephant Sale; each member was asked to bring something for the sale and Auctioneer June Pittman started the members bidding. The sale was such a success, and so much fun, that the club will hold another White Elephant sale at the May meeting and each member agreed to bring an article for the sale. HTLV testing for AIDS Blood banks in Louisiana will soon begin using a newly-developed blood test to screen all blood donations for antibodies to a virus associated with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). According to Dr. Sandra Robinson, State Health Officer and Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Resources, the HTLV 1II antibody test is not capable of determining whether one has, or may develop, AIDS. "One purpose of the test is to further research directed at curing and eliminating AIDS. The other is to reduce the possibility of spreading the HTLV 111 virus through transfusions," Dr. Robinson explains. She continues, "When used by blood banks, this antibody screening test will lessen the possibility of blood con- taminated with HTLV Ill from entering the blood banking system. Current estimates are that two to six out of one thousand low risk p,.,ople will have evi- dence of ant!bodies to HTLV." bince no vaccine has yet been developed to prevent AIDS and there is no known method to repair the damaged immune system of an AIDS patient, the best way to stop the spread of this disease is to break what seems to be the chain of transmission. "if you are in an increased risk group, do not donate blood for transfusion, organs for transplantation, or sperm for artificial insemination," advises Dr. Robinson. "Other safety precautions include practicing safe sex by avoiding the exchange of body fluids during sex; not sharing needles; and not exchanging toothbrushes, razors, or other items which might be contaminated with blood."
