Adoptable at 455-2739 (PHOTOCOM PHOTO) HELPING PAWS Bv Kstelle AtweP When you visit the County Shelter, 11608 feanford road, Woodstock, to adopt a pet, and you find the one you like, be prepared to fill in an adoption questionnaire, sign a legal adoption contract, and write a check for the adoption fee, some of which is refundable later upon ' meeting the requirements of the contract. From long experience handling adoptions, personnel at the shelter (both staff and Helping Paws volunteers) have found that it is better to ask the questions before the animal is taken out than it is to let the animal go for adoption and later be returned because important considerations were overlooked by the new owners. These considerations have to do with their responsibility as a pet owner and the kind of home they will provide, and are called to their attention when answering the questionnaire. The idea is to prevent adoption mistakes which can be harmful to the animal. For example, in a home where there are small children and perhaps they are first time pet owners who do not un­ derstand animals, restraint should be placed on the children to handle the pet carefully. Not knowing anything about pets, small children simply regard them as toys and are often rough and cruel. If the animal is mishandled and protests, often the people regard this as a black mark for the animal when in reality it was their mishandling that did it. This is #here education and in­ doctrination in pet care enters , the picture and Helping Paws is trying to provide that for pet owners. Next week we will give more details on a free Health Examination for the pet and benefits of the Spaying- Neutering certificate offered at the time of adoption. Helping Paws maintains an office staffed by volunteers, phone 459-2641, and their phone number at the shelter is 338- 3992.

Small Community Unites To Express American Spirit The Bicentennial 1976, in Wonder Lake was... -going to church on the 4th to thank the Lord for the blessings of our land and when the congregation began to sing in full unison, "America the Beautiful*', finding tears welling up in your eyes and feeling foolish until you see your neighbor sharing your emotions. -the unexplainabie closeness, the inner feeling of sharing something with everyone you meet, something similar to what we t used to feel at Christmastime before com­ mercialism set in - the Bicentennial spirit. -the absolutely perfect cooperation of Mother Nature - with sunny skies and ideal temperatures. -Parade Marshal, Marie Robinson, in her 70's and dressed in her Bicentennial best, whose inate good will and enthusiasm was passed on to the crowd. In her usual . "giving" tradition, Marie hand made and donated the prizes for the parade winners. -the disappointment of the people that Parade Marshal Ernie Vogt was unable to be present because of illness -how he would have enjoyed it - in good health! -the unanimous comments of approval on our great parade - and a few words of regret from those who wished they had participated more fully. -the booths lined along Hancock drive, offering your choice of foods, from Thuringer sausages, German potato salad and sauerkraut to the Ail- American hot dog and cool drinks, including iced tea, cold beer and black cows along with/ games, puppet shows and a chance to have your picture taken as Martha and George Washington. -the colorful Venetian boat parade, circling the lake, for all the community to see. -the thrill of a child holding a real fire hose at the demon­ stration given by the Wonder Lake fire department in the afternoon. . -hundreds . of people leathering at the Wonder Center beach to see the Wonder Lake ski club perform. 1 -the simple beauty of the sight of many, many boats anchored in the lake in the growing darkness, waiting for the fireworks display to begin. -the sounds of ooh! aah! and mmmm, that's beautiful! from the beaches filled with fireworks watchers. - -the cul mination of a busy and happy day with a street dance - though some were dancing earlier in the streets - mostly for fun and the joy of it! ^the working together of so rpany people to give us a 4th of July. 1976, to remember always - and being grateful to one lady who, almost a year ago, said, "We should celebrate^ the Bicentennial in Wonder Lake", and did something about it - Pat Seaver.

Ha'ppiness is...wearing something red, white and blue on the 4th of July. Happiness is...a bouquet of sweet peas, decorating the bathroom. SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JULY 14,1976 What One Person Can Do Liz Christy is leading a campaign. It 's a battle against urban blight, and it^s being fought in the middle of New York City - with plants. In 1973, Ms. Christy was working for an architect- planner. They were planning, as a Bicentennial project, to restore a vacant lot on the Bowery to its original use as farmland. When her boss died, Ms. Christy decided to go ahead with the plan herself. She lined up a few volunteers, and they created a mini-farjn with 66 plots for use as ' vegetable gardens by people from the neighborhood. Other gardens followed. Slowly, a need for expert help emerged. "I kept coming up against the same problems over and Over and over again," Ms. Christy recalls, "and it seemed to me Happiness is...the anticipation of a record corn crop this year. Happiness is...only forty-four more days - until school starts. Happiness is...sleeping late in the morning, in the sum­ mertime. Happiness is . a wienie roast in the woods at Uncle Roger's and Aunt Pat's campgrounds, and sleeping overnight in a tent. Happiness is...a hunk of ice cold water­ melon, on a hot summer's day. Happiness is ..Pat Seaver, chairman of the Bicentennial committee, passing most of the credit for the success of July 4, to her fellow workers, especially to Janet Bell, who, she says, did most of the work. absurd that there wasn't one organization that offered this kind of service." So Green Guerillas was born In the three years of their existence, this loose con­ federation of volunteers has received a total of $356 in donations. Members have spent, out of pocket, over $3,500. The group is not in­ corporated, so there is no ac­ curate tally of members. But the Green Guerillas number among their ranks hor­ ticultural ist s. landscape g a r d e n e r s , b o t a n i s t s , a g r o n o m i s t s , a r c h i t e c t s , planners and biologists - all volunteers. They have worked on over '00 projects all over the city, each involving neighborhood people. There is ROW a waiting list of community groups who would like to bring in the Green Guerillas What can one person do? Enough persons like Liz Christy could turn our cities green SUMMER COOKING TIPS A tight-fitting lid on pots and pans reduces the heafloss when cooking on the range top. For higher energy efficiency, use the correct sized pan for the surface element: the bottom of the pan should cover the element, never extending more than an inch beyond the outer ring.
