Route 47 Woodstock, III. 815-338-1086 Open til 9 p.m. Monday and Friday, Closed Wednesday HELPING PAWS (815-459-2641) by Nancy Hanson Helping Paws is a legally incorporated, not-for-profit animal welfare association of people who are dedicated to finding good homes for our small stray animals. Our ac­ tivities center in the McHenry county area, but many of our members live in Kane, Lake and Cook counties. • Our primary concern is providing for the stray, small animals in the McHenry county area. We do not, as yet, have a shelter in the county so the strays must be boarded with local veterinarians or kept at the homes of some of our volunteer workers. While providing for the immediate care of the stray animals within our area, we also attempt to create, through education, a public awareness of the vital need to reduce the excess animal population through spaying and neutering of cats and dogs. We are always very much in need of volunteer workers in many areas. We need office help in our office in Crystal Lake one day per week for four hours, from 10-12 and 1-3. This work involves answering our phones, making out cards on animals, etc. We need drivers or foster homes for animals while we try to find permanent homes for them and workers on all types of fund raising events. C o n t r i b u t i o n s a r e desperately needed. Funds over and above those needed for day to day operation, (food and supply bills, rent, telephone, office supplies, cost of boarding animals and medical bills) go into a fund for spaying and neutering. When volunteers board dogs tem­ porarily, Helping Paws pays for feed and will see that the animal has DHL shot. If one of our animals is permanently adopted, Helping Paws will help pay for that animal to be spayed or neutered. Membership donations are one of the best ways to con­ tribute to Helping Paws. Being a member in no way obligates you to serve as a volunteer worker. It merely tells us we have your support for the work we are doing and it entitles you to receive our newsletters. Helping Paws may be reached by calling 815-459-2641 from 10-12 or 1-3. Or, write Helping Paws Animal Welfare Association, P.O. Box 205, Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014.

Demonstration Plots - Dan Walters of Hebron is going to help us with our soybean variety demonstration plot this year. As of today, we plan to include seventeen varieties. We are getting seed from the University for Hodgson, Hark, Corsoy, Wells, Amsoy 71, Beeson, Wayne and Wood- worth. In addition to th^se public varieties, Jackson Farm Supply will provide Peterson 85, 3100, 105P, 3105 and McHenry F.S. will provide F.S. Hi Soy, 215, 225, 231, and 295. If you or someone you know want to include additional varieties, give me a call. Three new oat varieties are commercially available for the first time this year. Noble and Stout were developed at Purdue university and Goodland at the University of Wisconsin. We will have these new varieties plus Clintland 64, Dal, Froker, Garland, Wright, Jaycee, and Otee in our oat demonstration plot. Location of this plot has not been set yet. Don Kuhlman, University of Illinois entomologist, is helping us set up a soil insecticide plot. We are still trying to locate a field that has been in corn at least two years, preferably longer, and has not been treated with furadan, Dasanit, Dyfonate, Landrin or Thimet. We have had several leads to fields that may fit our needs but we are still looking. Agronomy Handbook - We still have a few copies of this excellent crop production reference book. Congratulations - to Don Ahrens and Dennis Alten, both of Harvard, and Henry Boi of Woodstock. Don was elected president; Dennis, vice- president, and Henry, secretary of the Illinois V e g e t a b l e G r o w e r s association. The organizational meeting took place in Bloomington last week.

I've tried to explain that my religion is one of the heart. I was very active in the church as a youngster. I know that I am saved -- do you think I have to prove it again every Sun­ day? You wrote to the wrong person if you were looking for someone to justify your lack of interest in the church. But, frankly, I am more con­ cerned about your "vaccina­ tion theory" than I am about your church attendance. You seem to be suggesting that you were vaccinated as a child against the life-long threat of sin. Of course, the devil would love for you to think that so that you will always be a wide-open target for him. There is never enough em­ phasis placed on the fact that» people change. We seem to * assume that once certain - levels of attainment have I been reached, we can't fall; back. Every now and then, the newspapers will shock us I with the news that a famous - athlete has died young onlji^a few years after retiring from 1 his sport. "Imagine that," we* say, "He was in such perfect - condition and yet a heart* attack got him." We overlookd the fact that, when the athlete stops training, he is easy prey to- sickness. In the same way, active Christians may become easy prey for the devil when- they ease off on their activ-J ity. There are many people* who are living their lives for-- the devil...all the while con- I vinced that they were saved* once and can never be lost. If you were the devil, wouldn't* you love for everybody to think that once they were* saved, they could never be^ lost?
