Fox Lake water front home owners want the McHenry Locks open wider. This is the condition below the locks now. A 55 gallon barrel is two-thirds under water at the McHenry State Park. Lake avenue only serves one purpose today. It's a great spot for netting minnows, which these boys will sell as bait to the area fishermen. The high driveway is great for the family car but there is no help for the home as the Fox river has captured it along with Holiday drive. You And Your Pet By Raymond A. Minor, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories The patient, nine months of age, was scheduled for surgery to correct a defective heart. The surgeons and attendants made a final check of all equipment. The anesthetist gave the sign to begin. The operation followed the usual course for cardiac surgery - with a few ex­ ceptions: the operation was performed at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine; the surgeons were veterinarians; and the patient was a fox terrier named Cecil. Surprised by all this? You shouldn't be. Veterinarians are in the mainstream of scientific research and technology. Before America's astronauts left the earth on their space flights, biomedical teams of veterinarians and other scientists conducted extensive tests and simulated flight conditions with animals. These studies measured the effects of anoxia (lack of oxygen) radiation, acceleration, deceleration, weightlessness and other stresses of space travel. Doctors of veterinary medicine are also involved in aquatic medical research. They study porpoises, whales and other marine mammals to learn their physiological characteristics and to deter­ mine how man can use their unique qualities in the ex­ ploration and evelopment of the oceanis resources.

Gorman, developed an artificial hip for dogs. Working with medical orthopedists, he then suc­ cessfully adapted the prosthesis to man. Animal and human diseases aren't as different as you might think. One of the most challenging frontiers in medical research involves the study of animal disease models of human diseases. Dr. Frank Schofield's research into the cause of sweet clover poisoning in cattle led to the isolation of a potent an­ ticoagulant. The drug, dicumarol, is now used in treating heart disease in humans. Veterinarians play an im­ portant role in protecting humans from zoonoses - diseases that humans can catch from animals -- as well as diagnosing, treating and preventing disease among the animals themselves. Veterinarians also play an important role in the testing of new human drugs. They are carefully studied in animals to The Law Serves You T r t TWO NEW LEGALCONCEPTS Two new concepts are under study now within the legal profession in Illinois and other parts of the nation - legal specialization and the use of para-legal employees. Both concepts are already being tested in some states. Specialization within the legal profession is based upon the practice already used within the medical profession. determine their safety and effectiveness before being administered to humans. Dr. Minor regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggests that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. For Your Information Dear friends, To be punctual is essential in a funeral service, as a final act of respect to the deceased aryl a necessary courtesy to the distraught family. Invariably our clergymen, musicians and pall­ bearers are on hand well in advance of the appointed time of the funeral service. The bereaved families are also ready when our cars call. All will agree that promptness is essential to a dignified and respectful funeral. » Respectfully, PETER M/JUSTEN & SON FUNERAL HOME McHenry , Illinois 385-0063 A general medical practitioner can list himself as an "MD" and a certified doctor specializing in some field of medicine can also make known the fact that he is a specialist. This is not only felt by many to be a bonus for the doctor, but also for his prospective patients, who can easily find someone who can help them for treatment of a certain, specific ailment. Such a practice of specialization in the legal profession would consist of an attorney having to work in his particular field of interest for several years before he could be certified a specialist. He could then list himself in the yellow pages of a telephone directory or the "shingle" in front of his office as a specialist in a certain area of law, such as "probate" or "divorce", etc. Specialization is already in effect in California. The introduction of para­ legal assistants is already a reality in many large law firms in Chicago. However, the profession in Illinois is currently discussing making mandatory the certification of such employees within this state. A para-legal is much the same as a para-medic which we have heard much about during the past two years. The para­ legal employee is a person who assists an attorney, but has not graduated from a law school. He is generally a person who has been trained for several weeks or months in a para-legal school, such as one in Philadelphia. It must be made clear, however, that the attorney is fully responsible for the work of his para-legal employee. The main purpose in hiring such a person is to reduce the time and effort, and thus the cost to the client, which nor­ mally would have to be spent by the attorney in doing research on a case of filling out legal forms; such as contracts, with clients. Specialization and para-legal employment are two new concepts to the legal profession in Illinois and will be the subject of some controversy and discussion in 1974. 3 &3SS33SS3&I Thought For Food TURN ONS po you HAVB A NtCB LANDLORD ? yes, He's ALWAVS CALM AMP COLLECT!hJG. ASPHALT & BLACKTOP PAVING PARKING LOTS - DRIVEWAYS SEAL COAT -- REPAIRS ED JACKSON ASPHALT PAVING 1-338-4739 From M. L. Morris, Green Val­ ley, At: I remember the first flower I picked, a violet; growing in the middle of a rutted lane that led a mile back from the nearest highway to the "Old Homestead," the place of my father's birth in Massachusetts. There was the milk room where pans were set for the cream to rise and be skimmed, an iron sink with a pump to draw water from the well, an iron cookstove that furnished the only heat except for a Franklin stove in the front room or parlor, which was opened only when the minister called, plus fireplaces in the bedrooms. Toilet facilities were a four-holer at the far corner of the barn, reached by going through the woodshed with its wooden walk way around the ground pit where sawing and chopping was done. Grandpa had a "Democrat Wa­ gon" and an old farm horse called "Jumb", a cow and a pig. My father had a high-wheeled bicycle (big wheel up front, small back wheel). Grandpa was a cabinet maker, had his own shop equip­ ped with crude tools, a wood lathe that operated by foot power on a treadle, and made most of his own furniture from black walnut trees that grew on the farm. Grandma made her own mince­ meat once a year, using venison for meat and some kind of soup was always on the back of the stove in a huge black iron kettle. A gun stood behind the back door, to shoot varmints that in­ vaded the vegetable garden. Our soup plates and spoons were made of pewter, the blankets were of virgin wool and home spun. Apples were stored in bar­ rels, packed in sawdust, in the attic, where it was cold and dark. Flour and sugar were bought by the barrel.
