PAGE 1^-PLAiKiihALiin • nciurtciaunii <*ULI* **• n This is the second of the two part series regarding the McHenry County Department of Health Division of Veterinary Public Health Rabies Control program. As indicated in Part 1, a major portion of this program is the enforcement of the Illinois Animal Control act which requires dogs to be vaccinated against rabies and registered with the County. Once -again the Department urges that cat " owners have their pets vaccinated iagainst rabies also, even though it is jnot required by the state law. ! -There are approximately 30,000 ;dogs and 35,000 to 40,000 cats within McHenry county. Of the 30,000 dogs, {approximately 18,000 receive rabies annually with ap- one-third of that number eceiving vaccine for immunity for three years. Under a program being financed by a grant from the Illinois Department of Public ; GHealth, an effort is being made to • increase the vaccinated dog level to 70 • percent of the estimated dog population. An integral part of the Rabies Control program is the Animal * * Control (Leash Law) program. The *»'purpose of this is to reduce the stray dog population, thereby reducing the potential for dogs to be exposed to rabid wildlife. You may recall from •f jg nanciu j v. v u i S*>approximatel } Vaccination • j& proximately < • 5»receivii : lasting our previous article that the wildlife population, especially the skunk is the reservoir for rabies in McHenry County. Therefore all efforts should be made to prevent dogs and cats from coming into contact with wildlife. Rabid animals usually exhibit unnatural behavior, becoming more affectionate (Mr more irritable than normal. Rabid cats have been known to hide in bushes, behind comers or under automobiles and spring out attacking passersby. The two rabid cats which were found in McHenry county in 1962 actually attacked either individuals in their owner's family or friends of the owner. In order to reduce the chances of human exposure to rabid animals, requiring the expensive and painful series of shots, and the possible development of human rabies, we urge all citizens of the county to take the following precautions: 1--Immunize all family dogs and cats. 2--Advise your entire family, especially the children, to stay away from stray dogs and cats and all wild animals. 3--Report any stray dog to the McHenry County Department of Health Division of Veterinary Public Health at 338-2040, extension 110, or 338-7040. 4--Do not adopt any wild animals since they may be carrying the rabies virus. 5--Report any pet or wildlife that appears to be behaving in an unusual manner to the Division of Veterinary Public Health 6--Report any animal bite or scratch immediately to the Division of Veterinary Public Health after contacting your physician.

While budget and tax questions dominated headlines about this year's legislative session in Springfield, several less publicized steps were taken toward meeting specific kinds of human needs. Collectively, scores of life for thousands onilUi^sans will have a greater impact than those headlines might have you think. Among the non-budget bills passed by the General Assembly this spring were five that should provide par­ ticularly critical relief to handicapped people, abused children older citizens, farmers and crime victims. Under provisions of House Bill 213, sent to the governor earlier this spring, Illinois' one-million-plus disabled citizens should get needed local assistance and services through township committees. The bill authorizes Illinois com­ munities to set up special committees to establish and coordinate services and programs for the disabled. It is my hope that these local groups will be able to help the handicapped - but also help the general public to better understand the special needs and the often overlooked potential of disabled citizens. Child abuse is always a horrible crime but one of the most despicable crimes against children is committed by pornographers. I am pleased to say that we have approved legislation this year which will provide significant punishment for chil Under provisions of House Bi thedefinitionof child pornography has been expanded, making it easier to successfully prosecute the crime. According to a recent U.S. Supreme court decision on the child por­ nography issue, pornograi" material involving children have to be declared legally to be banned.

Senior citizens will be able to defer payment of their property taxes until they sell their homes or until tfyey die, under Senate Bill 776. Property taxes for many older citizens living on fixed incomes are an impossible financial burden. So, under this legislation, older citizens with an annual income of $12,000 or less will be able to keep their homes without fear of losing them due to an inability to afford property taxes. Seniors will remain liable for the full amount of taxes due, plus six percent interest, however. • Illinois tanner*, w«*» of one of this state's most valuable resources - its soil - will be assisted in their efforts to protect and conserve that soil under provisions of Senate Bill 350. This legislation will allow farmers to be reimbursed if they lose money due to the use of soil conservation tillage measures. None of us can afford to lose Illinois soil - an essential component of our natural and economic resources. Farmers who use approved techniques to save our soil should not have to bear the cost of conservation alone. Finally, the Violent Crime Assistance act, established by House 'Bill 22, should offer much needed relief to victims of crime here. The act would provide assistance including medicaf care, to victims of violent crime if no other assistance is readily available to them. Funding for the program would come from court fines, an appropriate source of financing for crime victims. Let's hope the governor signs these bills into law. RED CROSS OFFICERS Officers to lead the McHenry county chapter of the American Red Cross have been elected following the an­ nual meeting in Woodstock. David Waggoner, Crystal Lake lawyer, is the new chairman. He has been a board member for three years. Bill Broman, Woodstock, is the vice- chairman and treasurer, and Janet Sedlock, first aid and CPR instructor in Algonquin, is the new secretary.. AIR CONDITIONERS Because an air conditioner provides cool air so easily month after month, season after season--year after year, many consumers give little thought to air conditioner care and main­ tenance.. The lack of maintenance on an air conditioner causes many un­ necessary service calls--and yet, it takes so little time to do. They adivse that annual maintenance before startup can save time and frustration of having a non-working unit during the peak of the summer season, when you need it most. Dirty filters can cause more service calls than any other problem. The air filter collects dust, lint and other particles from the air before it nasses over the Evaporator coil, so periodic cleaning of the filter (every 3 to 4 weeks) can really help to maintain peak per­ formance. Once a year, have a service company inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages as well as check the fan and oil and fan motor. A properly cared for air conditioner will help you beat the heat in the most efficient way. 2*2 . " w t: 2 <3 < OA 3 o '5 </) t Z * t/t « u. m "a, u.

Usually, chrysanthemums are spaced 24 inches apart. The exact distance depends upon the variety, since some varieties spread more than others. Set the plant shallow with just enough soil to pre­ vent them from falling over. When plants reach a height of six to eight inches, remove the top three-quarter inch of each shoot. This will cause side branches to develop. When these side branches be­ come four to five inches long, again remove the top three- quarterinch. Vigorous varieties may need a third pinching. Most compact, cushion-type chr­ ysanthemums may be pinch­ ed as late as July IS. In addition to the fertilizer used prior to planting, two or three additional applica­ tions of fertilizer may be re­ quired. Apply two pounds of 8-8-8 per 100 square feet about June 30 andLlheaame amount abouiXugust 15. Actively growing chrys­ anthemums require much water. If summer droughts occur, apply at least one inch of water each week. Leaf dis­ eases will be less troublesome if foliage is kept dry, especial­ ly during the night.
