CHICAGO — Although the temperature was in
the midOO's, Mrs. Andrew J. Bootz was pretty
proud of the "fully automatic gas furnace with
six registers" in the'r now custom-built camper
which, she said, is "probably the largest in the
world."
They'll need the furnace, Mrs. Bootz said,
when they rcrch the destination of their vaca-
tion trip — Circle, Alo-ka.
And they need the "world's largest" camper
to accommodate their family — hei jelf and hus-
band, their 11 children and a cousin.
' The camper, built on a two-ton truck chassis,
"is completely self sufficient," Mrs. Bootz caid.
In addition to the furnace, the comforts of
home incl'ide a 6-cubic foot refrigerator, a 10-
C'allon water heater, lights and a 4 burner
eei
■HI
kitchen range with broiler and oven — all oper-
ated on LP-gas.
'lucre is a shower and bath and 15 fold-away
be^s.
"'j.his way we are ah under one roof," Mrs.
Bootz said. "This will be a relaxing vacation."
The family recently left their permanent home
in suburban Mount Prospect, on the 15,000 mile
trip to Circle and return, via Winnipeg, Calgary,
Dc ,;:on Creek where they take the Alcan High-
way to Alaska.
'ihey will more than double the population of
Circle, a community of 11 persons 40 miles from
the ArcJc circle and the northernmost town
reached by any highway in North America.
"We'll be brick in about six w: *■' Mrs.
Bootz said. "It's coins to bo a trcv ..iclo;.. iJ~.*

Tax Man Sam Sez:
Paying Delinquent Taxes
For various reasons thou-
sands ol taxpayers end up
rccoii'ing a bill from In-
ternal Revenue Service for
taxes a id interest they owe
but have not paid. It is good
business to puy your delin-
quent tax bill promptly. As
a matter of fact it is better
business to pay when you
file your return or before
you receive a bill from In-
ternal Revenue. Unless the
tax statement is erroneous,
most taxpayers wi'l gain by
arranging for the money to
pay their tax account. If,
du to un error, Internal Re-
venue sends you a state-
ment for taxes that you do
not owe, you should take
ni.iediato action to get the
in or corrected. In any
, .i try to piay the
"let - them - wait - a-little-
longer game." The trained
: fossionals follow a sys-
1 i, the end of this system
is usually a levy on your
bank ucuunt, a levy on your
wages or seizure of your
property for your delin-
quent tax account.
