SNOW TRAILS HELPING PAWS "Fawn" a young female, about 7 months, is a medium size dog. She's a Vizsla mix with a short tan and white coat. Those white paws resemble 2 sets of white mittens. She's a happy, in­ telligent animal that would respond to your guidelines. Paper-trained. DHL shot. Should go to a home with older children. Call 385-4078 evenings. It warms the heart to realize there are good samaritans to the animal world among* communities everywhere. While their numbers seem to be minimal compared to the "don't cares", it means that some of the horde of unwanted, lost, abandoned, hurt animals are befriended. One is a woman with such a soft heart she can't turn away animals who come to her door. Her doorway must have a sign above it invisible to human eyes but legible to the four- legged. It probably states "Here is a place you will find a kind home. Hang in there." She took in a bedraggled Afghan Hound, his coat a mass of burrs. Her expenses included visits to the vet to restore the dog's coat to a healthy clean condition, and other vet at­ tention for him. He probably never had it so good - even naps on her sofa. A young Shepherd found his way to her door and she took him in. In­ dications are both of these animals had been abandoned, probably dropped out of cars. She keeps two lame ponies rather than have them destroyed. Recently, on a cold January day, three very young puppies were found in a grocery bag wedged among grocery carts outside a store. They were almost dead. Brought in to the store they were fed warm milk and slowly revived. Although their eyes were still closed, their tails wagged in gratitude. And two customers and one employee adopted the puppies on the spot, giving them good homes. In another instance, a stray female cat wandering in the woods area near homes had a litter of kittens. She kept her kittens under her motherly care except for one small female who was rejected. The tin$T kitten, crying piteously, came to the door of a nearby home. She was welcomed and taken in and is steadily gaining strength after being dewormed. The people plan to have her spayed at the proper time. And, let's not forget the kindly Helping Paws volun­ teers who stretch the space in their homes to accommodate stray animals waiting for adoption. Helping Paws maintains an office to handle animal problems. It is open Monday through Friday from 10 to noon and from 1 to 3. The phone is 459-2641.

Skill de­ pends on the driver's ability to blend himself with the charac­ teristics of his machine. For example, climbing a hill calls for a combination of good judgment, a game plan and proper positioning of your body, according to the Mercury Marine snowmobile people. When ap­ proaching a fairly steep hill, accelerate before you start to climb. And do it smoothly so you won't cause your track to lose its grip on the snow. The standing position will give you good control of your machine and enable you to get your weight well forward. Release your throttle slowly as you gain the top of the hill. Use of the standing position is preferred by many drivers when going downhill as well. Release the throttle and allow the machine to run down on the engine compression. If you go too fast, use the brake a little to slow your momentum. Avoid panicky jamming of the brake in these circumstances; you could lock the track and lose control of the machine! If a hill is too steep to allow you to go straight up or down, traverse it diagonally. The tech­ nique preferred here is to lean "into the hill" from the stand­ ing position. When traversing, keep your speed as nearly con­ stant as possible for best con­ trol of your snowmobile.
