"Public participation is crucial to our cause of conserving our precious natural resources," said John Jachino, regional land manager for the Illinois Department of Con servation. By enlisting the aid of individuals and groups in accomplishing con servation goals at state parks and conservation areas, Jachino said he hopes to spread the conservation ethic and to educate people to conservation issues in this region as well as to see physical improvements in wildlife habitat and recreational areas. Volunteers are needed to aid in a wide range of projects including such activities as clearing and marking of trails, clearing picnic areas, planting of trees and shrubs for wildlife habitat, stream im provements and cleanup in remote areas. The success of any volunteer effort, Jachino said, depends upon advance planning and preparation with the volunteer group. "We want to avoid the situation where groups show up at a site unannounced and the site superintendent is not ready for them. In the past this has ocassionally caused needless aggravation for both volunteers and Con servation staff people," he noted. Individuals and groups interested in working with Department of Conservation parks, wildlife, fisheries and natural areas personnel can contact the Chicago Office of the Illinois Department of Conservation at 160 N. La Salle street, or by calling 793-2073. In many cases, interested groups who are regular users of the parks have collaborated with individual site superintendents to improve recreational facilities for the general public. An example of this occurred in December when a local snowmobile club cleared a five-mile trail along the Illinois and Michigan canal. "It was hard and dirty work, but they performed a service that will make the canal more useable for themselves and the general public on a year-round basis," Jachino noted. Such projects could conceivably heighten in terest within participating groups by providing a stronger sense of purpose for members, Jachino noted. Although there always seems to be a need for removing refuse from streams and wooded areas, this is by no means the only volunteer activity en couraged by the department. "A couple of years ago we even had a boat ramp in stalled for us by a local chapter of Ducks Unlimited at Collins lake next to Goose iake_Prairie State park," he noted. "The type of project depends upon the interest, age level and expertise in to offer. The only real limits are the imaginations of our people and of the volun teers," he said. Participants in oat- s tanding volunteer programs will be awarded a certificate of recognition for their contributions, he ad ded.

Although most cats and dogs are perfectly capable of delivering their young without assistance, some timely aid from the pet owner or veterinarian is often helpful. Here are a few suggestions to remember at your pet's delivery time, which will be approximately 63 days after conception. Expect your dog to begin labor within a few hours if she suddenly refuses to eat, becomes restless and looks for shelter under tables and chairs. Your pregnant cat will also wander from room to room, and head for the nest-like area she may have prepared in a closet, open drawer or box. Deliveries do not follow any set pattern. The newborn may arrive 10 - i- ... minutes apart, or 60 minutes r' * apart. Whatever the case, if " ' " « » * y o u r p e t h a s n o t h a d h e r offspring after several hours of continous labor, she needs professional help. In my experience, whelping dogs require more assistance than cats. There has been more selective breeding in dogs, oc casionally producing a pelvic arch so small that puppies may not pass through the birth canal. Certain small breeds are prone to this condition, which may require your veterinarian to perform a Caesarian section. If you have a very large dog, you also need to alert your veterinarian in ad vance. Boxers, St. Bernards and similar breeds frequently need help when a puppy with a large head becomes lodged in the birth canal, blocking the passage for the entire litter. « %•, • # vV- * V '1" J ' . « JUICY i _«-.v f "> J • v " ; m. - freezer specials CREAM MINI-HOME SELECTION USDA CHOICE HIND QUARTER HOME SELECTION BOX BEEF FREEZER BOX S I IB PACKAGES GROUND BCIF 1 SilCI CHOICE ROUND STf AK > S4ICI CHOICE SlRlOiN steak 2 2 IB FRYING CHICKENS CUT U* 1 3 TO 4 IB *OT ROAST • 4 IB ROLLED BCIF ROAST 2 4IA CINTER CUT ^OR* CHOPS : ?ib steaks ? iach 49.50 APP 25 LBS OF MEAT USDA CHOICE BEEF SIDES S 1 IB P*GS GROUND BIIF 1 S IB BOX GROUND BEIF PATTifS 2 SUCES CHOICE ROUND STIAK J |ACH : St»CIS CHOKI SlRlOiN STIA* i EACH 3 UB PACKAGES BIIF STItt 2 2 .

Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories When puppies arrive, the mother immediately tears open with her teeth the sac enclosing the youngster, thus allowing it to breathe. The mother will also lick her offspring clean, providing rough massage at the same time. The massage stimulates the circulation and dries the puppy. If the young arrive in too rapid succession, the mother may become dazed or overlook one or two. Then it is up to you to administer primary care to some of the newborn. After the puppy's mouth and nose are cleared of mucus, the umbilical cord should be cut an inch or two from the puppy, and a knot tied near the base of the cord with thread or dental floss. After the puppy is gently dried with a towel, it can be returned to the mother. Occasionally a puppy is slow to start breathing. If this happens, provide massage with a towel, then swing the puppy gently, head downward to try to clear the air passages. Often it is necessary to work on a puppy for several minutes before it begins breathing. As the puppies arrive, make sure you note the delivery of one afterbirth per pup. A retained afterbirth can be the source of a serious infection in the uterus, so all afterbirths should be ac counted for. After the puppies arfe delivered and the wet bedding is removed, place the puppies alongside theft- mother so they can begin nursing. If you can see that the mother cannot ac comodate all the puppies simultaneously, call your veterinarian immediately to discuss a hand-feeding schedule for part of the litter.
