In addition, families not meeting this criteria, but with other unusual expenses due to unusually high medical ex­ penses, shelter costs in excess of 30 percent of income, special education expenses due to the mental or physical condition of a child, and disaster or casualty losses are urged to apply. Sixteen Scouts and two leaders from American Legion Troop 162 returned home this week from a nine-day camping adventure, including three days at the National Jamboree in Farragut, Idaho. The boys in the group included: Ed Newman, Jim Steinbach, Dave Alderman, Tom Kent, Erick Braenne, Craig Smith, Dan Koleno, Carl Ames, Rickey Connell, Lee Griesbach, Tom Hutchinson, Terry Hutchinson, Bob Seaton, Curtis Ames, John Honning and Mark Porter. Along with their two leaders, Jim Kirk and Dean Cunat, they spent a week touring areas in Washington and Idaho, as part of their annual summer outing. The boys traveled by car and train, due to the fact that the troop bus has a sick (dead) motor. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of an In­ ternational V8 401, please call 385-2884.

Any Z)he XVoViy, Cli true Mrs. Ken Cornelison, Woodstock, is chairman of the newly-formed Women's committee of the McHenry County Farm Bureau. She goes over proposed policy resolutions with Jim Stewart, Hebron, chairman of Farm Bureau's Young Farmer's committee. (DON PEASLEY PHOTO) Form Women's Committee Of Farm Bureau McHenry County Farm Bureau has formed a Women's committee and Mrs. Ken Cornelison, Allendale road, Woodstock, is the president of this new group. She has been active in the Young Farmers group and decided to attend the organizational meeting of the women's committee "to see what it is all about." She liked what she saw and the potential for women intimately involved in Farm Bureau. Joanne is looking ahead to participate in the District Women's committee meeting Sept. 5 when more details on the program of work will be detailed. Other officers include Mrs. Jim Stewart, Hebron, vice-chairman; and Mrs. Dick Walters, Woodstock, secretary. Mrs. Cornelison extends an invitation for other Farm Bureau women to become involved in this new committee, to come forward by calling her and asking more about some of the functions and opportunities. She'd welcome them to ac­ company her to the district meeting so McHenry county farm families will learn more about women's potential role in farming and a better family life through Farm Bureau. The Cornelisons operate a 260-acre farm and milk 50 cows. They have two daughters, Brenda, 4, and Lisa, 3. Auto License Changes Allowed On Notices They may do so by filling in the application forms sent home in a letter to parents. Additional copies are available at the principal's office in each school. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used only' for the purpose of deter- ming eligibility. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year. In certain cases foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a family has such children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals for them, they should contact the school. Under the provision of the policy the Principal, Thomas Parsley, will review ap­ plications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he may make a request either orally or inv writing to John Harding, chairman Council of Administration, 180 S. East­ wood avenue, Woodstock, for a hearing to appeal the decision. A complete copy of the policy is on file in each school and in the office of Marian Central Catholic high school, where it may be reviewed by any in­ terested party. "All necessary changes may be made on preprinted renewal notices in applying for 1974 auto license plates," Michael J. Howlett, Secretary of State, said this week. "Renewal notices can be updated by the applicant," Howlett said. "Any incorrect information should be corrected right on the pre-printed form, even if the application does not cover the vehicle you are now driving or the address has been changed. " "Any incojfl^t Information should be corrected nghtjjn the pre-printed form, even if the application does not cover the vehicle you are now driving or the address has been changed." More than 5 million notices are being mailed from the Secretary of State's office in time for applicants to meet the Sept. 30 reassignment deadline. "Renewal notices are pre - i printed and mailed for the convenience of registered car owners," Howlett said. "We will be able to give improved service with their cooperation." When ordering plates by mail, motorists should remember to include their 1973 ID card and proper registration fee with their renewal notice. Plates go on sale over-the- counter Dec. 3. This year, they will be sold at 291 banks throughout the state, an in- m crease of eighty-five over last year. Howlett emphasized that field applications are no longer optional if renewal notices are lost or destroyed. The applicant would need to apply for a duplicate by writing or calling the Secretary of State's office. Note Matthew's question. Conradi, early pioneer psychologist, placed English sparrow eggs in the nests of canaries where they hatched and were reared exclusively by canaries. When they started to make sounds, they trilled like canaries! For they thought they were canaries! See the behavior of George's pig! By-George W.Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE K-567: Matthew, aged 9, is one of our grandchildren. He is very fond of the cats and dogs at our farm home in Indiana. "Grandpa," he recently began, "Blackie (a dog) acts like she is really a member of our family. "Don't animals ever feel they are human beings?" ANIMAL PSYCHOLOGY When our eldest son, George, was on the farm putting up a woven wire fence, his dog suddenly started barking. George, who was then about 19, walked over to see what was disturbing his hound. And there at the entrance to a fox den lay a baby pig, ap­ parently dead. It had been chewed by a fox, which may have dropped it, due to the dog's barking. But as George looked closer, he saw the little pig's front leg twitch. So George picked up the half- dead pig and brought it home to his mother. She has a natural fondness for all stray cats and dogs, as well as other injured creatures, so she spent two hours with the pig on her lap, giving it an oil rub. Meanwhile, she coaxed me to administer some sulfa drugs, for this was before our an­ tibiotics had come into vogue. I doubted that the little pig would ever live, but it surprised us. Next day it even tried to stand up, but its front legs crumpled under it and they trembled spasmodically as if it had brain irritation. But within another week, it was well, except that one eye had been blinded by the fox. George named him Jessie, after a football pal at DePauw university. And that pig never saw or heard any other pigs until he was a 350-pound adult boar. He may also have had am­ nesia, due to encephalitis, in which case, his earliest recall of odors, sights and sound in­ volved George and Mrs. Crane. So he apparently believed he was a human being! He grew very irate later on when we had to lock him out of the house. He'd also trot along beside George when George went out to the fields to work And Jessie would also stay by George all day, like a pet dog. Finally, we had to put him into a pen, but he sulked and pouted and even ignored food to stand against the railing on his hind legs and be petted on the head. A farmer cousin of mine needed a boar for breeding purposes, so Jessie was regretfully sold. But the cousin later demanded his money back. Why? Because Jessie refused to have anything to do with the sows! He hung around the gate constantly, just waiting for human beings to come and pet him. So he apparently regarded himself as a member of the human species. If creatures are thus taken away from the sounds, sight and odors of their own kind at birth, they may apparently believe they thus belong to another species. Indeed, that's how farmers produce mules. For a male ass will not breed with a mare of the horse species unless as a baby donkey it has been taken away from its donkey mother and reared exclusively among horses.

Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories At one time distemper was, next to rabies, the most feared of all dog illnesses. But with improvements in v e t e r i n a r y m e d i c i n e , distemper can now be prevented in most cases through antiserum or globulin, inoculation, and revaccination. Distemper is a virus infection that attacks the dog's tissues, particularly through his mucous membranes. The virus is spread easily to non- vaccinated dogs, and your dog can be exposed to it more easily than you may suspect. The virus of canine distemper is present in all dog populations and, unless your pet is reared in complete isolation, he may be exposed to it early in life, possibly through contact with the urine or feces of a dog suffering from distemper. The disease is also spread by means of contaminated ob­ jects, such as infected utensils, brushes and clothing. Canine distemper begins with a high temperature which hangs on for one to three days. Other signs include a dry cough, discharges from the nose and eyes, and diarrhea, with resulting dehydration and loss of weight. The dog may also become very depressed. If your dog displays these signs, contact your veterinarian immediately. The course of the disease may be as short as ten days, but it often is prolonged for several weeks or months with in­ tervening periods of apparent awnjotmcMv/ &uA, PAIGIFT fiffilSTOj Place Your Gift Preference Today From Our Lar# Selection Of Housewares • Dinnerware • Gifts AlQEi H[ATR]D[W|A|R[E i 3729 West Elm St*eet McHenry, I l l inois 60050 PAGE 15 - PLAIN'DEALER - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1973 MCC Instructor At Workshop Bob Nolan, instructor in "McHenry County college's English as a Second Language program, recently attended a five-day workshop at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.

Jaycees To Hold Membership Blast fuesday, Sept. 11 The McHenry Area Jaycees will sponsor their first semi­ annual Membership Blast Tuesday, Sept. 11, at 7 p.m. All men between the ages of 18 and 35 are invited. The Jaycees want to talk to men interested in helping their community and meeting people their own age with similar interests. Interested persons should call Jerry Macey, 344-0589, after 6 p.m., before Sept. 7. improvement followed by return of the clinical signs. The proper age for vac­ cinations varies with the in­ dividual animal and the type of serum or vaccine used. The final decision should be left to your veterinarian. Some vaccines are only for distemper, while others provide protection against distemper, infectious hepatitis and leptospirosis in one shot. Leptospirosis is a disease of the liver and kidney. A new vaccine that combines a human measles vaccine and a distemper vaccine has been introduced to the veterinary profession. This vaccine, which protects against distemper only, is designed for use in your puppies -- six to twelve weeks of age. It is important to remember that every animal is different and no two dogs develop the same degree of active im­ munity following vaccination. No one can be sure that a vaccine, whether for animal or human use, will be 100 percent effective. However, vaccines are effective in most cases. Likewise, a vaccine will seldom confer lifelong immunity. That's why booster shots are recommended at prescribed intervals. The intervals for these shots are best determined by your veterinarian. Dr. Minor regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. MOVIE PREMIERE The premiere showing of the movie entitled "In the Presence of Mine Enemies" will be shown at the Wonder Lake Bible church, 7501 Howe road. Wonder Lake, at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 2. This is the moving personal story of a former POW, Howard Rutledge, and his wife, the anguish of their seven-year separation and how they give God the glory of their reunion and share their discovery that faith in Christ really does make the difference. A person being transported to a hospital for out-patient care--, three small children left in capable hands while their % mother makes an emergency ' trip to the doctor with a child- groceries delivered and a meal prepared for an elderly couple feeling under the weather. These and other scenes are FISH in action as groups of people try to be neighbors to those in need. There are over 1.000 FISH chapters in the U.S. alone. Persons in Crystal Lake, Barrington and Woodstock have someone to turn to for emergency help because of FISH groups in their areas. With the support of most of the local churches, a committee has been hard at work the past month starting to organize a FISH chapter for the McHenry area. The group will soon announce a 24-hour phone number that will put persons in need of emergency help in touch with others who will try to be a neighbor to them in their time of need. Mrs. Carl Rietesel, committee chairperson, has announced a general meeting for the public Sept. 17 at the V.F.W. hall in McHenry. The meeting will tell the FISH story and register volunteers. Services the FISH group would like to provide include transportation, emergency meals, babysitting, housework for the sick, and errands for the elderly.
