PfT-^Ufyp^ GROUP. INC, P.O. BOX 143 McMINRV, til. MOSO 815/385-1771 Two beautiful boys. The fuzzy kid in the middle is a Sheltie mix, 7 weeks old, and is up for adoption through Pet Welfare. The beautiful blond, however, is not up for adoption through anyone. by Erika Frey WE TRY Humane organizations receive a variety of calls regarding animals during the course of a day. Pet Welfare is no exception, even though we are new in the area. The majority of these calls are from concerned pet owners who for some reason are no longer able to keep or care for their pets. They do not want their pets destroyed and look to the humane society for help in finding a good home for their pete. We do our very best to find new homes, to follow-up on the adoption and to help in any way possible. We also receive our share of- calls from people reporting cruelty cases. These cruelty reports are not necessarily from next door neighbors or from someone down the block. Many calls come from people who pass on their way to work or daily shopping or picking up kids at school. We investigate all cruelity calls and try to find the best means of helping. Sometimes we are helpless. A great number of calls are from pet owners whose female had an un planned for, un­ wanted or accidental litter. We try to find homes; we try to foster homes until permanent homes can be found, we try looking for the paddle to help us up that proverbial creek. In most instances humane work is frustrating, heart­ breaking, but challanging. The rewards and joys, however, can be great. One of our "rewards" happened this past week when a gentleman called Pet Welfare saying that he found a dog repeatedly crossing a busy intersection and he was worried that the dog may get hit by a car. One of our volunteers offered to keep the dog until we could locate the owner. Many phone calls later, we felt that all possibilities were exhausted, but the dog was safe. Later that day we received a call from the dog's owner. He had just read about Pet Welfare in the Plaindealer and was going to give us a try. He told us that the dog had gotten away early in the morning and un­ fortunately she was not wearing her tags. n r i ip- After making sure that the man and dog did belong to each' other, we arranged a very happy reunion. We are happy! We were able to help a dog. Please help us help find good homes for the following pets. DOGS FOR ADOPTION Shepherd mix, male, 8 weeks, black and tan, will be large, has puppy shots.

Woman Heads Worldwide Relief Effort The National Council on the Aging. The day after seeing the program, she began round­ ing up supplies for the Ko­ rean orphanage. Now 80, Mrs. Auberlin and WMR have since distributed over 2,000 tons of free medicine, medical supplies ai\d instru­ ments to needy people throughout the world. From its modest begin­ ning, WMR has increased in size and scope to a point where it now operates on an annual budget of over $100,000, has a paid staff of seven (none of the exec­ utives, including Kirs. Au­ berlin, receives £ salary) and utilizes the services of around 600 volunteers. Although impoverished countries continue to re­ ceive a good deal of help, Mrs. Auberlin is greatly concerned over the needs of the elderly poor in the De­ troit area. "What makes it especial­ ly bad is the severity of the winter," she said. "Gas and In 1953, Mrs. Irene Au­ berlin was a 57-year-old Detroit housewife. After seeing a television program which showed a U.S. soldier holding a Korean orphan in need of clothing and medi­ cal help, she was on her way to establishing World Medi­ cal Relief, Inc. "I'd just experienced a family tragedy and I des­ perately needed something to fill my days," Mrs. Au­ berlin told a writer from electric bills are almost double what they were a year ago and many people on a fixed income simply aren't able to make ends meet." To ease the burden, WMR supplies about 40,000 free prescriptions a year to Detroit's low income elder­ ly. This winter, volunteers have also been collecting blankets and distributing them to the needy elderly. WMR gets medicine and supplies from every source possible. "Large - pharmaceutical firms donate surplus drugs to us and local doctors give us their samples," she said. One of the biggest prob­ lems confronting WMR is transportation of supplies to various parts of the world. "We have a large supply of anti-biotics on hand right now but no way to ship them," she said. Various church relief or­ ganizations provide some of the transportation; at one time or another, the Army, Navy and Air Force have also hauled supplies for WMR. . Headquarters for WMR is a donated building in one of Detroit's most crime-ridden neighborhoods. Mrs. Au­ berlin lives there with her dog, Taffy, a German Shep­ herd trained as an attack dog. Isn't she nervous living where she does with mil­ lions of dollars" worth of drugs? "I feel safer than I would if I commuted," she said, and then added with a laugh, "The police told me this building is like a vault. They said it's safer than the County Building." ' r Mrs. Auberlin plans to continue her efforts for as long as she's able and feels fortunate to Lave been blessed with good health. "When I look at some of the people we help, I tell myself that 'there but for the grace of God go I,' " she said. "Somebody has to help them out. Maybe that's the purpose of my life. Do you think that might be true?" A PILOT PROGRAM in Hartford, Connecticut, pro­ vides an opportunity for certain unemployed and un­ deremployed residents to work off their tax obliga­ tions by doing "meaningful work not customarily car­ ried out by regular city employes" up to a maxi­ mum of $1,000. Those accepted for the program earn tax credits from a minimum of $2.50 up to $4 an hour for jobs ranging from unskilled la­ borers to a variety of pro­ fessional positions. %\% IttclliiHIiY CRVHMMUiB Bomit P Mi? nishings GRAND OPENING SAP.C!
