These booklets will not have the personal ized labels, so taxpayers will need to carefully complete the name and ad dress section on those tax returns. SALEM — On January 4, 1988, the Oregon Department of Revenue will begin mailing 1.1 million 1987 in come tax booklets to full year resi dents who filed 1986 Oregon tax return. Taxpayers should receive their booklets within two weeks. The 1987 booklets have some thing new Taxpayers who filed a 1986 Oregon tax return will receive a booklet with a personalized mailing label. The label can be peeled off the booklet and attached to the tax return that they send to the Depart ment of Revenue. Using the labels will help the department process tax returns more efficiently.

There is also a label to use on Form 70R. Oregon income tax returns must be filed with the department by April 15, 1988 Nearly 47 percent of Oregon's drivers broke the national 55 mile- per hour speed limit in 1987, accor ding to the state's annual speed monitoring report submitted to the Federal Highway Administration. But, on Oregon's urban-area free- Drivers Urgently Needed for Meals on Wheels Program Loaves & Fishes Meals-on Wheels is expanding weekend and holiday meal deliveries. Drivers are urgently needed for the near North east area. We do not have enough drivers to get food to the elderly who need it. Many of these people will go without basic nutrition if meals aren't provided. A 1-14 to 2 hour commitment is all that is need ed. Volunteers can also arrange to share routes on a regular basis.

George, state traffic engineer for the Oregon Highway Division. That could mean trouble for Ore gon in 1988 if urban freeway speed ing drives the statewide average over 50 percent, he said. “ If that sample continues to grow, with the large numbers of ve hicles involved, that could result in federal penalties," George said. What concerns state officials about the division's 1988 speed monitoring program is since 65 mph is now the rule on rural freeways, more speed monitoring stations are located on urban freeways. The net effect on the statewide average will be like having more cars driving more miles on less roads, but at much higher speeds, George said. "Particularly worrisome is the fact that the areas where you leave the 65 and go into the 55 zones could show a carryover effect resulting in an increase above speeds when everything was 55 mph," he said. According to George, that can boost the number of drivers who break the national speed law to more than 50 percent. under the direction of pianist/com poser Janice Scroggins, Danny Os borne, and Ken Berry.
