It was as though he knew his days were numbered and he had to out-perform the competition in the adjoining cages What was I doing there? I had three dogs at home, all fat, well trained and quite sufficient for our family. However, this little stray melted my heart. He was skinny, neglected and oh so anxious to please An Animal Control officer had found him along the edge of the road ~ a puppy, dumped by someone who obviously had no heart. The officer knew that this puppy would be just right for someone, if only that particular someone would come along in time. For every dog at the Animal Control center there is a someone, if only they would look there before heading for the pet store for that youngster's birthday! I didn't take him home just then. I went home and called my husband to see if he and our household could tolerate another dog. He said "no", not too convincingly, I told myself. If he was going to be angry with me, I knew it wouldn't ^>e for long -1 hoped. So. I drove back to the shelter, and checked out "Sam". We came home with no accidents, went immediately to the bath to freshen up. (We needed all the help we could get to win my husband over.) We added a little after-shave for good measure The first ones to see the pup were my children when they GROUP, INC. P.O. BOX 143 McHENRV .

We have since taken in a full blooded Collie that is a joy to have around So. please folks, drop over to the Animal Control center on Banford road in Woodstock and I'm sure you will find that "Special Friend" just waiting to love you NOUS FOR ADOPTION Dachshund, neutered male. 11L- years, housebroken. all shots, very affectionate Chihuahua, male. 7 months, black and white, housebroken, distemper shot Shepherd mix. spayed female, 14 months, housebroken. good with children Beagle, male. 2 years, housebroken, good with children, distemper shot Lab mix, male. 8 months, all shots.

Among his community service efforts has been his commitment to serve on the board of directors of McHenry FS, the farmer- owned company that provides farm products and services. Ray has served on that board since 1966 but now he's retiring. He ends his period of service with the McHenry FS annual meeting Feb. 16 at Lake Geneva's Playboy club. During his tenure McHenry FS expanded its facilities and its equipment. "We also ex­ panded into Walworth county, Wis., to meet the request of the Farm Bureau across the state line to bring our expertise in servicing such quality products as fuels, fertilizers and feeds," observed Deneen. During Ray's tenure on the board sales grew from $2 million a year to the more than $13 million that will be reported to farmers next week. Ray won't be at the annual meeting. He took off for Texas and warmer climate in early February, but before he left he offered his views on farming in McHenry county during the next several years. He has mixed emotions. tie sees land values soaring and believes farming will become increasingly difficult unless the best agricultural land is protected. He strongly backs Farm Bureau's desire to increase the minimum acreage under Farming zoning and cities examples along Hawthorne road where he lives. "When he moved here in the 1940's, I could count four houses on this stretch of road," he recalled. "Now it has been developed under Farming zoning and there are close to 40 houses in this short distance on Hawthorne. "I do see an increased demand for food, and as land is gobbled up I can see pressures to produce enough in the next generation or so. I see farming as a good business to be in, but admittedly it's difficult for a person to get started without some help from present far­ mers or from outside financial backers." Added Ray thoughtfully, "If a farmer can get a foothold and does a good job of managing, he can make it. People in this country should be appreciative of the efficiency of our farmers. Americans pay on the average only 18 percent of their income for food I read where in many other countries the total is half their income." Just as he's seen changes in farming, so he's seen changes in the way McHenry FS serves farmers. "Sales people are trained to analyze and make recommendations. FS has research farms to provide help for sales people and farmers appreciate advice on fer­ tilizers, feeds, herbicides and insecticides The development of such equipment as the Floater to help with fertilizer spreading is an example of progress in efficiency "FS provides more rolling stock because farmers have a limited period to apply fertilizer and they'll buy from the sup­ plier with the best, most dependable service."
