C7i UJLCZ OoU <D,aL £± Wildlife Calendar FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 6,1933) In the April town election Ray McGee was the winner over Peter M. Jus ten by 116 votes for town clerk. Joe N. Schmidt defeated Raymond Hall for assessor. William Welch and Frank Cobb were chosen justices of the peace and Louis Schroeder and Frank Meyer was selected constables. The Fox Pavilion located on Rt. 12, announced its grand opening April 8, presenting Charlie Straight and his Vanity Fair orchestra. Lieut. Roy Mathews has received disappointing news concerning his parachute jump which he had planned to make on the opening of the Century of Progress exposition in Chicago on June 1 and the jump has been post­ poned. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 22,1943) Although no contests were scheduled in any of the three wards in the city election of aldermen, there were write-ins in all wards. In Ward I, Alfred Tonyan received 40 votes .and the name of Paul Gerasch was written in four ballots. In Ward II, Edward J. Buss, who was seeking reelection, received 122 votes and his opponent, M.L. Schoenholtz, had his name written in 11 times. The third ward, Fred Ferwerda, won reelection by receiving 104 votes. Robert Rossman received 6 votes by write-in. Donald E. Hettermann, George M. Freund, Donald Schaeffer and Walter Nickels, all of McHenry, were listed in the draft quota for April. (A monthly column from the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education Project of the McHenry County Conservation District.) TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 17,1958) In appreciation for the growing number of friends acquired during their 20 years in McHenry, Glad­ stone's Department store is holding a special twentieth anniversary sale April 18 and 19. Maurice Gladstone and his wife came to McHenry in 1938 from Riverdale and opened their store on a small scale in the north part of the Green street business district. At that time, the business was operated by Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone and one employee. McHenry will join in a national Civil Defense alert May 6 and 7, at*which time the entire community is urged to cooperate. The alert will be carried out on a wider scale than last year. All persons in the business district at the time are asked to leave the streets and traffic will be stopped on the state highway running through the city. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 13,1973) Two masked men made away with $368 in the robbery of Clark's Gas station in Woodstock. The men ap­ proached the station, one carrying a club and the other a kitchen knife. Maureen Pintozzi, a junior at West campus, was named to represent her school at Girls State in July. Fern Griesbach was selected as alternate. A turnout of 616 voters in last week's township election is a credit to the citizenship responsibility of that number of people. The large vote was especially significant for two reasons, first that there were no contests to attract interest, and secondly, a greater effort was needed to vote since there was only one precinct. 'He is rich who owes nothing." Hungarian Proverb Nature's baby boom will soon be in full swing. In fact, in spite of the wintery spring weather that we are experiencing, there are many young mammals and birds beginning their lives right now. Since wildlife is increasingly being forced to exist close to people, many of these wild babies will be discovered and orphaned needlessly by well- intentioned people. Before any person interferes in a wild life, they should be sure that it is absolutely necessary. The following tips may be of help to you if you encounta^ome of April's common wild babies. As agile and adepras squirrels are, they still have accidents. Adults and young can be hit by cars or caught by cats or dogs. Sometimes they just miscalculate their jumps. Young squirrels that have been orphaned elicit high pitched screams from their nest. Those that are old enough to climb will sometimes approach people in desperation. And in warmer weather they may become victims of flies and maggots. Call for help when you find squirrels in these conditions. They can bite and scratch if handled incorrectly. Among the most numerous wildlife babies are young cottontail rabbits. And many of them are made orphans needlessly, oecause they are picked up by people when a nest is found. Since cottontails are fond of the habitat provided by back yards and subdivisions, nests are often disturbed during spring yard cleanup. If you should find a rabbit nest, don't touch. Touching the young rabbits or the nesting material will leave a human scent and will almost assure rejection by the mother or make them easier for predators to find Instead of touching, gently nudge the young back into the nest using a stick. Then cover the nest again. Cross two small sticks over the nest. If they are moved in the morning, you will know mother rabbit has returned to nurse her young. Since baby rabbits develop very quickly and will be independent within three weeks or less, you can delay cleanup of that area without too much inconvenience. Young great horned" owls or fledgling mourning doves may be found in April. If the young great horned owls are well-feathered and near adult size, they should be left alone. It is not uncommon for them to be on the ground at this stage, and their parents will feed them there. Young doves that are unable to fly should be replaced in their flimsy platform nest or a substitute nest. Also, please remember that it is illegal to keep wild animals and birds in captivity, even babies. Fur­ thermore, they are difficult to raise, and they do not make good pets when thev grow older. ; MEDICAL INFORMATION All persons should carry medical information, the National Safety council said. One type is the council's Medical Information card which is a wallet-sized plastic card that contains an individual's medical data on a built-in strip of microfilm. The in­ formation can be read by bending the card and looking through the lens embedded at the other end of the card.

BY APPOINTMENT Fatalities .The Illinois State police remind motorists that railroad crossing accidents occur at the rate of more than one pfer day in Illinois. In 1982 there were 44 people killed at road level railroad crossings. This is a 22 percent decrease from 1981 when there Were 57. However, in 1981 Illinois was the second highest in the nation for fatalities. With over 16,000 rail crossings, Illinois motorists need to take t h e n e c e s s a r y precautions to avoid collisions with a train. Flashing signals and gates assist a driver in recognizing the hazard of an approaching train. But there are many drivers that will choose to ignore them or fail to be alert enough to see them. Ironically, most accidents happen at c r o s s i n g s f w h e r e visibility is very good. A freight- train with 150 cars traveling at 50 miles per hour takes over one and one-half miles to come to a stop.
