DON KAISER PHOTO It is possible to act from the kindest motive and yet make a serious mistake or come close, about a stray dog's fate. This particular incident turned out right for the dog and her owners, but the wrong move could have caused a tragedy. A man on his regular run in his van noticed a dog sitting on the edge of the tollway in the Oakbrook area, nervously watching the cars. He had seen more than one dead dog, vic­ tims of cars. So he pulled over and opened the door, and the dog jumped up on the seat and lay down exhausted. The man was on his way home to Fox River Grove, so he took the dog with him. This was the kindest of acts, so what was wrong? The dog had been transported a distance from where it was found to another county. The finder decided he had a young female, under one year, probably a Weimaraner. But the dog was not a Weimaraner, it was a German Shorthair Pointer. And the assumption was made that the dog had been dumped. No assumption should be made that a dog is dumped until all avenues have been explored to find its owner. The primary objective in a case like this is to find the owner if the dog has one. If that owner lives anywhere near where the dog was found he would not be watching the McHenry county papers for information. And if he had seen an ad about a dog described as a Weimaraner, he could not have recognized it as his pet. Because the finder had two dogs already, he could not keep this one and taking it to a nearby facility was under consideration. If this had been done the unfortunate animal may have had to remain there as it was unlikely the owner would check there. Fortunately the finder turned to a neighbor for advice. The neighbor knew that Helping Paws has people who know the best way to deal with these matters. She suggested a call to HP. He was told that first of all no assumption should be made that the dog was dumped until investigated thoroughly. Secondly, the best thing to do in this case was to go to the humane agency nearest to where the dog was found. This happened to be the Hinsdale Humane society and it was recommended that he take the dog there where the owner might be checking. He was also told he may have made a mistake about the breed-it sounded more like a German Shorthair Pointer than a Weimaraner. In the meantime the finder and his neighbor were watching the papers. There, in the Sun Times was an ad for a lost German Shorthair Pointer, female, age 8 months, owner in Northbrook. The owner was contacted and the reunion took place. It was difficult to tell who was happiest-the adults, the children, and the pet were almost hysterical with joy. HP tag days coming up June 3 in Crystal Lake; July 8 in McHenry, and Aug. 12 in Woodstock. Volunteers are needed to spend a couple of hours outside a store with a donation's bank. If you can help please call Betty VanDeventer, ways and means chairman, 459- 6950. DOGS FOR ADOPTION Adoption fees for dogs in­ clude the cost of spaying or neutering from a vet of our choice.

Put Teeth In Eye Safety Laws Eye injuries strike industrial workers at the rate of 1,000 every working day of the year, and some 167,000 school-age children suffer eye injuries each year, according to estimates of the National Society vfor the Prevention of Blindness. These injuries could have been prevented, 90 per­ cent of the time. The society is marking its seventieth anniversary in 1978, and in intensified eye safety program aimed at new and larger audiences is a priority area in the year's educational and service activities. New approaches to the eye safety campaign include: ...Programs aimed at younger audiences than ever before ~ reaching children before they take their first shop class, before they become employees and parents. ...Materials and local campaigns aimed at com­ pliance with eye safety regulations and legislation - or Defenders' Promise motivating passage of such laws in states without them. NSPB's eye-safety program directed to children from kindergarten through fifth grade centers on a lively song- and-dance film featuring marionettes. The educational package includes a teacher's guide with games and puzzles for classroom activities, and a parent-alert folder to bring the message home. For high school students, a new film focuses on the need for protective eyewear at all times in school labs and shops - points out that the splash of caustic liquid or the flying drill bit is never expected, that it can and does 'happen to me,' and that blindness could be the result. The package includes an instructor's guide and activity materials for the students. There's a letter for parents, too. There are federal standards for safety eyewear required in industry; and thirty-six states now have laws requiring comparable eye protection for use in hazardous classroom situations, such as chemistry laboratories and industrial arts workshops. But laws are only as good as their im­ plementation. Too often in industry the problem is not that protective eyewear is not available, but that it is not being worn. In an effort to eliminate casual at­ titudes toward eye protection, NSPB serves in an advisory capacity to industry and offers a series of hard-hitting films. And since 1948 NSPB has sponsored the Wise Owl club, a program recognizing students and workers whose sight was saved by wearing eye protection at the time of a potentially blinding accident. There are now over 63,000 members nationwide who have, in documented instances, saved one or both eyes. A survey of schools made by NSPB several years ago showed eye protection seriously inadequate. In many cases principals and teachers were not even aware of the eye safety laws. The new NSPB program aimed at high school students will hopefully make the difference. Throughout its 70-year history, NSPB has worked toward eliminating needless loss of sight. Fully half of all cases of blindness can be prevented. Working with its state affiliates, and under the guidance of a national group of health care professionals, the society conducts a sight-saving program including direct service to individuals, public and professional education, and research.

Sun Guaranteed To Shine May 3 The sun will be shining in McHenry county May 3, regardless of what the weatherman says. Wednesday, May 3, has been declared national Sun day, a celebration of the beginning of the solar age. The McHenry County Defenders will be organizing a number of county- wide activities, and will be coordinating related activities of local schools, government, labor, industry and clubs. Sun day is being organized in the same spirit as Earth day in 1970, which focused the nation's attention on concerns for the environment. Sun day will be the first coordinated expression of citizen interest in solar energy. Locally, a number of solar projects will be on display. A solar heated home north of Crystal Lake will be open for inspection. A student-built solar heating unit for the library at Cary-Grove high school will be on display, as will be a solar oven and food dryer in McHenry. A builder will displaying model homes in Wonder Lake and Hebron which are solar assisted. Other evertfs planned by the Defenders or other county organizations include a county- wide poster contest for students in kindergarten to eighth grades, an essay contest for high schoolers, showing of a solar energy film, talks by solar energy experts, and other events and displays still in the planning stage. Some events will continue on Saturday, May 6. On a national level, Sun day will dawn with a sunrise ser­ vice atop Cadillac Mountain in Maine, the spot where the sun first shines on the United States. There will be an energy fair on the mall in Washington, D C., a concert at the United Nations, sun art fairs and solar energy exhibits at museums across the nation, solar house tours, and workshops, teach- ins and festivals at colleges and universities everywhere. In Chicago, a large solar greenhouse will be dedicated by the Center for Alternate Energy that will serve as a vegetable garden for inner-city residents. A public festival and solar fair are also being organized. President Jimmy Carter is expected to make a message to the nation that day, and local mayors are being asked to declare May 3 as Sun day. Solar energy is the most inviting energy source in the world, because it is virtually non-polluting, inexhaustible, available everywhere, terrorist-resistant and free. Although many consider solar power an exotic dream of the future, most of the technology is available now, and mass production will soon bring costs to a level everyone can afford. Solar water heaters, solar space heaters, windmills, highly efficient wood stoves and other solar devices are already on the market and economically attractive. Others such as solar cells for electricity, solar air con­ ditioning and other sun- powered devices will be economical in a short time. Sun day, unlike other holidays, will not look to the past. It will look to the future of solar energy, to the dawning of the Solar Age. For further information or to participate in Sun day ac­ tivities, call Mrs. Wm. J. (Anne) Carroll, 9917 Hidden lane, Woodstock. Public Information Meet On Mental Health Set A community service in­ formation sharing meeting will be held at the First United Methodist church, 3717 W. Main street, McHenry, Monday, April 17, from 4 to 6 p.m. The meeting is sponsored by the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center for McHenry County. "It's purpose," explains the center's executive director, Robert Martens, "is to acquaint McHenry area residents with the services and programs available through the Mental Health center, and to give community members an opportunity to express their concerns regarding what county needs are not being met by the center or other agen­ cies." "We want to give people the opportunity to become more aware and involved," says Joan Brown, Woodstock, the center's board president. Agency staff and McHenry area agency board members, Hubert Mortimer, Wonder Lake, and Rev. Ralph Smith, McHenry, will be at the open meeting. The public is invited to at­ tend. at the Woodstock offices located at 1200 Dane street and various classrooms around the county. Dr. Albert provided those in attendance with a short tour of the facilities. He emphasized the fact that because students must be bused to classrooms where special education services are offered, transportation costs are very high. SEDOM would prefer that the entire county follow one school calendar so that their tran­ sportation costs could be reduced by $30,000 annually. Dr. Albert indicated that the special education district is purchasing classrooms around the county so that services can be offered to students at the same place on a permanent basis. At present, the locale of the classrooms is changed each year. SEDOM officials believe that this will give continuity to students who travel to different locations for their classes each year. \lAM-IN PARTY - The above picture shows a jam-in party Marie Thomas held for her students recently.

There's An Answer (by Norman Vincent Peale and Ruth Stafford Peale) Blows His Top b Q. What causes me to become so enraged whenever I find 6ul that my teenage daughter and my wife have lied to me or excluded' me from conversations? The same thing occurs every time they, disagree with me, don't do as I suggest they do, or even when I become tense. I get so angry I curse and blow my top till I almost" bust my vocal chords. I make them cry quite often, which in turn makes me feel like I've destroyed all the love and respect they once had for me. I really love them and live with a constant fear that something bad might happen to those closest to me. But I know my harshness and cruel behavior do more damage to my loved ones than physical harm. Can you please help me? A. You are quite right that your ungovernable temper can damage loved ones and destroy your happiness. The solution is very simple. Learn to control yourself. You do not need to become enraged. Cool it. Take charge of yourself. Curb your anger. Practice and master mental and emotional thought control. You can govern your temper if you make up your mind that you want to do so. Then do it. If you don't, you are headed for real unhappiness. We have a booklet, Self-Improvement Handbook, which has helped others with problems such as yours, and a copy of it is on its way to you. Anyone wishing a free copy may write to us in care of Box 500, Pawling, NY 12564. Embarrassed Grandmother My best friend's 19-year-old granddaughter is pregnant. The man responsible doesn't want her in marriage. The family is heartsick. How do I respond to the situation? I can't send the family a sympathy card, nor the girl a get-well card. I'll be emban-assed when I meet them. Now, I find out that my own 18- year-old granddaughter is in the same predicament. It simply makes me hurt all over. I don't know how to treat here, either. If I accept her as though everything was fine and dandy will my other grandchildren think it's all right to have sex outside of marriage? A. In a situation such as you describe, your personal embarrassment is a matter of minor consideration. The main problem centers around your friend's granddaughter and your own granddaughter. " Our suggestion is not to be soft with the girl, certainly not to acti as if everything was fine and dandy. But don't withdraw your love from her. And certainly do not minimize her wrong actions to the- other grandchildren. Try loving her back into a right life pattern, f Wants to Make Him Happy Q. My husband left town with a younger woman without telling me or any of the family. After a few months he wanted and did come back. But now he says he must see the other woman again. We have had a full and happy 25 years of marriage with four children who have never been in trouble. There have been some pretty hard financial times and some tough illnesses, but we always had each other and lots of love. Maybe I let him down-with working, the kids, the house and all to do. Can I make him happy again? I love him so and he has given all of us so much. Is there a trick to bringing a man back? A. We've got to answer you pretty forthrightly. This wandering f husband of yours may have gotten tired of having a wife who was so burdened down that she didn't have time or couldn't make time to be romantic, desirable and, shall we say, even sexy. At the present time he seems to be in a state of vacillation between you and the other woman. This means that he wants you and his family but he also wants something that you don't supply If you really want him back, could be you'd better change your priorities and put loving him as number one. That is the trick. If there is something you would like to ask Dr. and Mrs. Peale to discuss in this column, write to them in care of Box 500, Pawling NY 12564.
