PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1973 McCullom Lake Gerry Milbratz « 385-8543 Little Response To Plea For Help On Village Hall So far, there has been very little response to the request for help in finishing the village hall. Men to do the aetual labor are urgently needed, and it is hoped that every able man in the village will be willing to give at least a few hours of his t ime. Due to lack of funds, there'd be no hope of using the building for a long time to come, without cooperation from residents. Anyone able to help is asked to contact Terry Jordan, Ray Lary or Allan McKim HOSPITAL NOTES Hoping JoAnne Weisen- berger who had surgery Oct. 2, is up and about soon. JoAnne is a patient at McHenry hospital Also, s t i!! in McHenry hospital is Jim Klapperich, who's sti l l in traction at this t ime. Jim's condition is im­ proving, but he'l l be in the hospital for some time. yet. Cathie Erdmann, is back to school and work, after being released from Woodstock Memorial where she had been taken following an appendicitis • attack. Sept. 28. TRAPPING: A SATISFYING PASTIME George Scarbrough is getting ready for the trapping season, which runs from Nov. 10, until Jan. 31. He got interested in trapping about 10 years ago, and has been trapping in the McHenry area since. George goes out at daybreak, and checks his traps which have been set where he thinks the animals might be. He catches mostly racoons and muskrats, sometimes minks, and oc­ casionally a stray skunk, which George lets go, very carefully: When dead, the animals are let to dry thoroughly, then they're skinned. The fat is scraped from the hides, and the hides are hung on a stretcher-type device till they're completely dried and stretched; after which they're sold to fur buyers. A trapper must be licensed by the State of Illinois, Dept. of Conservation, to work, and can only trap on property with owner's consent. There are some hazards involved, such as the possibility of being bitten. Or walking in chest high water to set a trap, when it's 10 above zero. Or setting 50 traps, and returning to find only 5 or 6 filled. One of the most vexing and expensive problems is that some people steal traps, or take the animals out for themselves. Despite these disappointments, George is very enthusiastic about trapping, and has no plans to quit. He says there is a good feeling in going out when the sun is just rising, and all's quiet, and seeing the morning light shining on the fur of a muskrat, in one of his traps. When the village hall is ready, George is very willing to teach interested persons the ways of trapping. NEW BABY John and Chris Lawson of N. Knollwood are pleased to an­ nounce the birth of their 6 lb., baby daughter, Julie Dawn. Julie was born at 3:32 a.m. Sept. 26, after a race against the clock trip to the Condell hospital in Libertyville. The Lawsons also have a three year old son, John, who is very happy with his new little sister. Proud grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Victor Lawson, of Evanston, and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Borch, of Clarendon Hills.

He's been transferred to Great Lakes, where he'll report in, Oct. 5, to begin working as a dental apprentice. DOING THEIR PART A group of boys and girls took it upon themselves to clean up the area around the village hall last Sunday. Village manager Frank Kurth wants them to know their efforts have not gone unnoticed. People have commented on how good the place looks, and the work these kids did is very much ap­ preciated.

In its wild state, the cat drinks rarely, perhaps once a day because water needs are supplied from the carcass of its prey which contains about 70 percent water. In the home your cat's water intake will depend greatly on the nature of the food products you feed. If a dry, commercially prepared cat food is fed, he will need greater amounts of water either alone or mixed with the dry product. Very little of his water needs are supplied by the dry foods. So keep a bowl of clean, cool water available at all times. Milk is a food, but alone does not provide a balanced diet. Although milk for newly- weaned kittens and nursing mothers, remember it can also act as a laxative. Milk should not be left out for more than a couple of hours and milk is a food not a substitute for water. Bones: You may give your cat bones, but we would suggest that they be large round beef bones or the ox tails, but never a pork chop or chicken bone as these may splinter and lodge in the throat or stomach. I know some of you are saying to yourself, I give those bones to may cat all the time and nothing has ever happened. Unfortunately, there's always that first time. And believe me there is nothing worse than to see your pet choking. Table Scraps: Table scraps are permissible if given to your cat in small quantities. You do not want to add enough to upset the nutritional balance of commercial cat foods; cer­ tainly not more than V4 of his total food intake should be from the table. Meat: Meat will not harm your cat, but if left to his own devices, your cat would probably eat nothing but meat. This is not a balanced diet and should not be fed as the sole ration. Raw meat may contain harmful parasites, so be sure to cook it properly. Liver: Liver every day in large quantities is not good for a cat since it can cause a vitamin A toxicity but since cats can store excessive levels of vitamin A, the feeding of liver two or three times a week will not harm. Feed your cat at the same time and in the same place consistently. Meal time is a big event in your pet's life. For this reason, also, make sure that dishes are always spotless and heavy enough not to slide around. Newspaper under the dishes will keep them from ratUing and make cleanups easier. You will find that your cat's ability to go without food or water for extended periods of time will make him a steadfast opponent if he doesn't like the menu. But a good variety of types and flavors of food will make your pet's meal time the high point of his day. The ex­ citement of a cat at meal time and the way he will avidly attack his meal suggests an excellent appetite in healthy cats. Give your cat the food he will thrive on but always be careful to purchase only quality products that offer a nutritionally balanced diet.
