There's the visible actual cruelty of abusing an animal; or, there's the indiffernce and neglect frequently leading to sorrowful results. Those who neglect an animal may not think of themselves as cruel or admit to realizing that the animal is suffering; but when the animal is actually suffering as a result of neglect, it is cruelty and that's the correct word for it. What about an owner who raises a puppy and puts a collar on it while it is small. The collar is never removed or exDanded to adjust to the size of a full- grown dog. Any living thing must be given leeway for growing and expansion. Take a tree, for instance. The injured branch of a tree was taped tightly to a good branch to hold it in place and give it a chance to mend. However, a season or more went by and the tape was not loosened or examined. Then a check-up showed that the almost-severed branch had grown back to the tree, but was barely living and producing abnormally small leaves. The life-giving sap was shut off by the too-tight taping as the branch grew. The dog who wore its vise­ like collar when full grown must have suffered great pain, perhaps with tragic results. There are always signs, in­ dications of an animal's discomfort or pain. A con­ cerned observer will Ijeed these signs and do something about it before it is too late. What about the owners who take off on a vacation, letting the cat out before they go and making no arrangements for its care. A cat can get into lots of trouble when it has no shelter, no regular feedings, no home. It can be attacked by dogs or other cats; be run over; become diseased from eating small wildlife, or whatever is available;,develop an infection from a too-tight flea collar; become a stray that never finds its way back to its home. What about the owners who are away all day and keep their dog penned in a limited area where its only exercise is pac­ ing back and forth, and where it is exposed to heat aricl cold, and is always lonely. When the owners return home they barely look at the lonesome dog, fill a bowl with some food, and forget about it. A dog has feelings it needs to express to humans.

Farm Facility Loans Help Improve (Grain W i l l , Prices SCOUT NEWS The set-aside and grain reserve were not the only programs to influence the grain market last year, Jim Lucas, county executive director of the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASCS) service, said. Ex­ periencing record-breaking activity last year, the farm facility loan program also played a major part in helping to improve market prices. "The program proved to be even more successful than anyone imagined," Lucas sAid. Farmers added over 845 million bushels of storage space on their farms through the program in 1978.Thisi. compares with 513.3 million bushels in 1977. New loan disbursements in 1978 totaled more than 765.9 million dollars as compared with 412.3 million in calendar year 1977. Lucas said participation in the program is expected to continue strong as the ability to hold on to grain may prove the difference between profit and loss to farmers. The dramatic increase in the facility loan program indicates that many farmers realize they cannot depend on commercial storage in bumper crop years, the ASCS official said. "It also means that farmers are holding open their options. If prices are low, they will put their grain in reserve and collect storage payments for storing the grain on their farms." According to Lucas, McHenry county farmers borrowed $568,410 to build 1,150,185 bushels of space last year." In 1977, loan disbur­ sements to local farmers totaled $280,820 and represented a 523,336 bushel storage capacity. Capacity figures do not include loans made on high moisture forage and silage facilities. has the opportunity. The pen may be a nice clean one, but it's not home sweet home to that dog.

This is an "intuitive", persistent feeling on the part of the parents that there is "something" wrong, even if this vague symptom is discounted by everyone else as PACK 162 Back in February, Pack 162 held its winter cook out at Veterans Acres. It brought a good turnout of boys, dressed like Eskimos, hauling sleds and hungrey as bears. They had a great time with snowball fights, sledding and just trying to walk in the snow. When they finally did get cold, there was a big fire waiting for them in the pavilion and hot chocolate. Lunch consisted of hot dogs, chips, cookies and coke. For three hours, it was a winter won­ derland for them. They even being just over-concern on the part of the parents. Often there is no better disgnostician than the parents, as they have a feel for the child that cannot be matched. • Next , Behavior Disorders in 3 - 5 Year Olds-Causes for Disorders.

Me Ml \IO Pi VLNDEALLR V/2 (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This ar­ ticle is "Coping • Behavior Disorders in 3 -5 Year Olds.) Severe behavior problems in very young children are usually an indication of some possible behavioral disorders occurring in later childhood. It is sometimes a temptation to ignore actual symptoms in the younger child, passing these symptoms off as a "phase" that the child is going through. If a child is having particular difficulty at a certain stage of development, these difficultiss may lead to further difficulties at later stages of development and compound a problem that may be quite correctable if dealt with in the beginning. It is, however, extremely important to be able to dif­ ferentiate between a symptom of a possible disorder and behavior that may be annoying, but still within normal limits. It is not the existence of a symp­ tom per se, but the severity and persistence of the symptom that is the clue to possible difficulty. Difficulty in toilet training is not necessarily a symptom of a possible disorder; refusal to even begin toilet training by age three is a concern. Oc­ casional nightmares are not serious; terrifying nightmares twice a week is an indication of difficulty. Other possible areas of concern may be refusal to give up the bottle by age 2, severe eating problems months old, white diamond on chest, Lakemoor area, 344-3400.
