5. Report State Spending Coincides With Budget Things YOU Should Know... ft One of many puppies now available at the County Shelter, 11608 Banford road, Woodstock, phone 338- 7040, this is a mixed breed male, brindle coloring. The Shelter has puppies ranging from 5 to 12 weeks old, all adoptable. (Photo assistance courtesy of Photocom) A HELPING PAWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P O Bo* 205 • Crystal Lake, Il l inois 60014 • (815)459 2641 Forsythia, tulips, daffodils in bloom, bjrds nesting -- this is a joyous time of year. But a note of sadness enters thoughts of animal welfare workers and humane society personnel as they brace themselves for a recurring situation - the birth of far too many litters of puppies and kittens. No matter how assiduous the workers, there just aren't enough homes for all of the puppies and kit­ tens born. Most of these are the offspring of dogs and cats that have not been spayed or neutered, have not been held in check by fence or leash, and have been allowed to wander freely The owners of the females face the problem of disposing of the litters. Some really try hard to find homes for them. They soon find it isn't easy even if offered free i But others dump them with little concern as to how the tiny animals will survive; and even go as far at times as to dump the mothers too. That's why animal welfare workers shudder in anticipation of what is a repetitive tragedy for puppies and kittens. It's especially tragic when the victims are baby animals -- tiny, helpless, lovable, dependent, unable to defend themselves, asking only to live, to have man befriend them. There's a link between the tragedy of the recent cruel slaughter of the baby harp seals -- an annual event in Newfoundland -- and the abandonment of baby dogs and cats by indifferent and cruel humans. The helpless baby harp seals are attacked by hunters armed with long-handled picks who batter and crush their skulls; many of the helpless puppies and kittens are perhaps, and perhaps not, treated more kindly, but eventually end up with the same fate -- death without a chance to fulfill the promise of life they were given. And all these species ask is life, lived in their proper habitat. For the seals it's a life as a wild free creature; for the puppies and kittens (domestic animals), it's a home and owner where they can share their bountiful endowment of love, joy, and loyalty. ?

Modern Education "What has your boy learn­ ed at school so far this term?" "He has learned that he'll have to be vaccinated, that his eyes aren't really mates, that his teeth need repairing, and that his method of breathing is entirely obsolete." State spending and receipts remain on target with budget estimates after the first nine months of Fiscal year 1977, Bureau of the Budget Director Robert L. Mandeville said recently. "Reviewing the experience of the first three quarters of the fiscal year," Mandeville said, "the state's general fund balance was $113 million as we entered the fourth quarter. ' "This is where we said we would be in the last quarterly report, which adds credibility to revenue estimates of $5.92 billion and spending estimates of $5.99 billion." Based on the state's per­ formance through March 31, he said the overall fiscal plan presented in the governor's budget reamins intact. "This is a big contrast with the last two years in which significant changes were required during the closing days of the legislative session," Mandeville said. He indicated the state will end F Y. '77 with a general fund available balance of $48 million. "This situation underscores the importance of holding new spending to the approximate $300 million rise set down in the budget. Nothing that has happened in the last two months changes the bureau's position as presented in the last quarterly report and in the F Y. '78 budget," Mandeville said. "It is critical that the state not repeat the mistakes of the last two years. We must stop promising to spend money we do not have. We must return to a balanced budget in F Y. '78. Quite simply, we must not spend all of the new revenue." Part of the increased revenue in F Y. '78, Mandeville said, must be used to erase the deficit spending of the current year and some of it to raise the year-end available balance to a higher level in F.Y. '78. On other topics, Mandeville re-emphasized the need to limit deficiencies to those needed to maintain essential state ser­ vices and finance the required costs of welfare and senior citizens' tax relief. He also repeated his earlier statement that the state's cash flow tightness will continue through the remainder of this calendar year. Mandeville pointed to the available balance ADDRESS We Rent 'em! HOURLY & DAILY RATES AVAILABLE A Merry Tiller works the garden, not the gardener. lUc Reni 385-3232 904 N. FRONT ST. expected after the common school payment is made on the fifteenth of the month. The available balance will be very low then, he said, probably less than $30 million. "Those who advocate added spending above present budget levels are doing a disservice to the state by raising false hopes. They are falling into the trap of the past two years. "It is vital that we not be misled for a third year in a row. There is no bank account to bail us out again this year. We must put our fiscal house back in order in fiscal 1978," Man­ deville said. Sprint Cleanup Time- Time Tn Cleanup Accident Hazards Spring cleanup is an excellent time to check your home for potential accident hazards. Barbara Tickner of CNA insur­ ance's loss control department advises that this kind of "preventive medicine" can often prevent a serious -- or even fatal -- accident in the home. Insurance safety experts estimate more than 25,000 people are killed and over four million disabling accidents occur in the home each year. To avoid accidents Tickner recommends a room-by-room safety inspection. What One Person Can Do In thirty years, Ernest Bader of Northamptonshire, England, built a business from scratch up to leadership in its field. That's been done before. His next step was more unusual. He made his 161 employees his partners. As a young man, he had felt deeply his limitations as an employee. In 1920, he started his own enterprise, Scott Bader company, Ltd.. which even­ tually became a top producer of polyester resins. His personal future was rosy. But he recalled his early feelings and recognized, too, his employees' part in his success and a debt to the society in which he had prospered. In 1941, the industrialist decided to make revolutionary changes, "based on a philosophy which attempts to fit industry to human needs." He went beyond mere profit- sharing, already in effect, and set up the Scott Bader Com­ monwealth. A "constitution" included virtual job security; 1 limitation of the firm to about 350 persons, beyond which new, independent units would be formed; distribution of half the net profits to all employees - now partners, the other half to outside charitable endeavors; and a ban on sales to customers who would use their products for war-related purposes. Despite predictions of disaster, by 1971, twenty years later, sales had leaped eight­ fold. bonuses and gifts had been Kitchen Living Room Bedroom , PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, APRIL 22,1977 all medicines tightly capped and out of the reach of children.

A screen placed in front of the fireplace will pre­ vent sparks and embers from escaping. Decorative appliques should be affixed to sliding glass doors so that people will not walk into them when they are closed. In The Bedroom... Place a lamp within easy reach of the bed and keep a night light in the bedrooms of children and the elderly. Small area rugs should be backed with nonskid material. And, finally, says Tickner, plan alternate escape routes from each room in case of fire and keep these exits clear of obstacles. and shower. (About 135,000 slips and falls occur in bath­ tub and shower enclosures, annually.) Do not use radios or elec­ trical appliances near water. Many people have been elec- trocuted while bathing. Store In The Kitchen. . . Make sure work areas are well lighted. Store kitchen knives, other sharp tools and household chemicals out of reach of children. Replace damaged or frayed appliance cords and keep vents and hoods over stoves clean and free of grease. Keep a fire extinguisher for grease fires handy. In The Bathroom... Place a skid-resistant mat and grab bar in the tub distributed as planned, and staff had increased to thfe pre­ determined limit. In strike-torn England, Scott Bader has had none. "The experience gained during many years of effort to establish the Christian way of life in business has been a great encouragement," says Bader, who sees the achievement as "a concrete contribution toward a better society in the service of God and fellowmen."
