—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 11,1978 100 Tax/rent rebate proposed LANCASTER - A bill currently before the state House of Representatives is proposing to extend the deadline for filing the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Form from June 30 to December 31. This would allow more time to get the application properly filled out and submitted. The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program is designed to help older people with paying their property taxes or rent. As the law currently stands, applications for rebates on 1977 taxes or rent must be submitted before June 30,1978. The checks are then mailed beginning in July. If the current bill goes into law, senior citizens will have until the end of December, 1978 to file; however, processing of the claims and mailing of checks will begin as before, in July. Once-a-day feeding (Continued from Page 98) It saves labor, saves money and some energy. The calves do excellently, a very im portant factor, and in some cases seem to be healthier (probably because they get solid grain into them sooner and in larger amounts). I would be remiss if I didn’t stress the fact that the calves in these trials, even though fed once a day, were observed for health several times a day. This was done to promote early detection of health problems. Once-a-day feeding will not be of any benefit if it inspires neglect.
