A third instance occurred outside our own McHenry community. A young boy on his way home from school found several puppies unable to care for ' themselves, evidently dumped by someone. The youngster brought them home. The practice is not uncommon throughout the year, but it becomes more evident each year in our resort area at the end of summer. Visitors for short periods of time acquire a pet for their own pleasure, then leave it to care for itself or for others to look after. The Helping Paws ofganization is small and it is a volunteer group, yet it does an untold amount of good each year in caring for just such abandoned pets Some of us who are fond of animals are either unable or unwilling to devote out time to caring for strays The least we can do is show our support by opening our pocketbook. The organization asks for very little. as do most such humanitarian groups formed out of the concern of its members. Helping Paws headquarters have had occasion to move from time to time, therefore no office address is listed. However, the organization is located in Crystal Lake and can be contacted at 459-2641. The office is open from 10 a.m. to 3 \ Monday through Friday. / p.m. K.A.F. A MILLIONAIRE? (Continud from page 1) It was as simple as that.

Mrs. Bach has been employed in the housekeeping department of the Pistakee Bay Nursing home for the past ten years.

The accident occurred Tuesday evening about 9 o'clock. Freddie W. Decker of 2601 S. Hyde Park, McHenry, told deputies he was west-bound on the highway and was stopped waiting to make a turn onto River road when his auto was struck from behind. He said his turn signals were in operation at the time. Wood said he saw the Decker auto waiting to turn and as he started to apply his brakes, a horn sounded behind him. He glanced in his rear view mirror and then struck the other auto. Kenneth Shoulders of 802 W. Friendly avenue, McHenry, was cited by sheriff's deputies for improper backing after an accident Monday evening at 134 Rand road, Lakemoor. According to the report, Shoulders was backing out of a parking lot onto the highway and backed into the path of an auto driven by Dieter E. Paries of 2615 Apache trail, McHenry. John H. Lent of 2602 W. Indian trail, McHenry, was APPROVE LOCAL ROAD PROJECT (Continued from page 1) budgeted for such items as dog kennels, landfill, etc., and none of this money was used. However, he cautioned that next year a charge may need to be made for tax collection, amounting to about $170,000. Buss suggested that taxing bodies should be prepared for such expense. Considerable controversy resulted from a zoning request asking reclassification of real estate from "F" farming district to "E" Estate district. The property is located in Hartland and Greenwood townships. The Zoning Board of Appeals had recommended approval of the request, with a stipulation that a contribution be made to school districts affected by the development The Rev. Marx Jones, a County board member, reminded that no stipulation is binding because of a recommer^iation of the Zoning Board of Appeals. He said, "We've asked school boards for an ordinance for the whole county a year ago, and so far, no action". . ticketed by city police for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after a rear end accident last Wednesday afternoon at 3331 W.

Lent said he saw Kazimour's auto stopped but when he applied his brakes, he had to pump them. When they caught, he started skidding and was unable to avoid making contact with the other car. A two-car accident Wednesday morning at 3729 W. Elm street resulted in a ticket for failure to yield right-of-way being issued to Chester A. Stamm of 3015 W. Emily lane, McHenry.

RTE. 120 McHENRY HORNSBYS - • f a m i l y centers ^ HOURS: Mon. thni Sat 9-9 Sunday 10-6 Robert Olson commented that his committee had met with the school boards recently and members were informed that the ordinance as drawn up is not in "suitable form" as yet. It was his understanding that when it is finalized, it will be submitted to the County board. Approval was then given to the development as recommended by the Zoning board. On a recommendation of the Committee of Local Improvements, the board passed a resolution stating that roads or streets in platted subdivisions recorded prior to April 25, 1961, and dedicated to public use, be included in, and incorporated into the township or district road system without a hearing or petition. These roads, however, must be constructed or reconstructed to rules, specifications and regulations regarding location, width, grades, surface and drainage structures approved in writing by the individual t o u n s h i p h i g h w a y commissioner and the county superintendent of highways prior to the construction or reconstruction. Member Willis Simms of • McHenry asked how much savings this would realizg for property owners. County Highway Commissioner James Rakow said that the saving will vary since each subdivision has its own problems. Member Richard Klemm, president of the Committee of Local Improvements, noted that each subdivision must be looked at separately. As the result of action Tuesday, elected officials of the county will receive a pay raise and all county employees will receive increased fringe benefits, effective Dec. 1. Increases came about with adoption of portions of a $9,000 personnel study made by a Chicago research firm. The study was asked to standardize department work on a basis of proficiency. By a vote of 11 to 7, with five absent, approval was granted to increase from $35 to $45 per day the compensation for County board members to attend committee and board meetings. Edward Buss, whose committee recommended the increase, admitted it was a difficult decision. The board approved increases for department heads, including the sheriff to $20,000 annually and the circuit clerk to $19,000. The salary of the County board chairman was raised from $15,000 to $19,000. There will also be an increase in fringe benefits to county employees which will cost $18,000 per year, according to Buss. These involve broader medical insurance coverage and life insurance. In addition.
