Some of these benefits" are listed in Psalm 103:1-5. H is my firm conviction that, everything else being equal, the contented believer in Christ will live longer, fool batter, and enjoy life far more, in every wholesome way, than his neighbor who doesn't fear the Lord, nor trust His dear Son.

ILL. 385-0170 Coast to Coast Hardware Sally Joosten, center, was honored this month at a reception in Woodstock for her rehahiliation work with the county's wildlife.

Andrea Kane, right, holds a n ved pewter plate to Mrs. Joosten, shown with t hawk recovering from a broken wing. Sally Joosten of Woodstock has received the eighth annual Theta award from the McHenry County Defenders, an award they give each year to a resident of the county in recognition of exceptional environmental achievement. The presentation was made by Anne Carroll of Defenders' Executive committee, at a reception honoring Mrs. Joosten held at the Woodstock home of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon M. Barber. Mrs. Joosten, who last July was appointed director of the Wildlife Rehabilitation and Education committee of McHenry County Conservation district, was presented with an engraved pewter plate com­ memorating the occasion, and a $50 contribution for her volunteer work. Mrs. Carroll read from a citation which made special note of Mrs. Joosten's efforts to increase public awareness of the critical need to protect wildlife; her creativity in developing new techniques for the care and feeding of the hundreds of wild animals and , birds brought to her each year, and her innovative methods in treating the sick and injured, thus providing them with the best possible chance for sur­ vival ; her skill in rehabilitating these wild creatures and successfully returning them to nature; and her willingness to share with others, through her slide programs, her love and knowledge of animals and her respect for their important place in the ecological chain. Prior to her present direc­ torship, Mrs. Joosten served as chairperson for the district's wildlife rehabilitation project, composed of citizen volunteers. Her interest in wildlife, however, dates back to her childhood, though it has been only recently that the public has become aware of her remarkable accomplishments in caring for the county's sick, injured, or abandoned animals and birds. A current example of Mrs. Joosten's tireless rehabilitation efforts is Scooter, a gray squirrel brought to her when a few weeks old, with a broken jaw. Thanks to her deter­ mination in finding an en­ terprising dentist who would fit Scooter with braces to correct the alignment of his teeth, the year-old squirrel will soon be able to fend for himself. Meanwhile, he is still one of her charges, watched carefully to make certain her operation is a complete success before he is released to the wilds. Averaging some 120 telephone calls per month, on twenty-four-hour duty, and providing shelter and care for the animals at her own home (birds are looked after by other committee members), the Joosten household is a lively one. With baby animals requiring around-the-clock feeding, sick or injured ones needing constant attention, and, during the winter months, the menagerie actually housed indoors, it is inevitable that the entire family should par­ ticipate. Son and daughter, Scott and Dawn, help with the feeding and watering, and husband, Charles, constructs cages and carrying cases, to segregate or transport animals when necessary. Mrs. Joosten often has a furry friend or two accompany her when she sets out to give color slide presentations showing her rehabilitation methods; she considers this a very important part of her volunteer work. She attempts to instill in children a lasting understanding, respect, and love for nature's creatures, and to bring to adults a new ap­ preciation and awareness of the beauty and necessity of wildlife. Always, Mrs. Joosten stresses human responsibility towards wild birds and animals, urging that they never be kept as pets. An educational project she particularly en­ joyed was her recent month- long series of programs, one each Tuesday, for Crystal Lake sixth graders attending George Williams college in Williams Bay, Wis. She was in contact with 170-190 students per class, all of whom she found especially responsive. Previous Theta winners, all invited to Sunday's reception, are among the county's out­ standing environmental achievers. They include Ward Duel of McHenry, former administrator of the McHenry County Health department and McHenry city officials holding office when that city won the award in 1974. The. "Theta" symobl was selected by McHenry County Defenders for their annual award because of its position on the green and white ecology flag. It is the eighth letter of the Greek alphabet and represents the death that awaits the planet if positive steps are not taken to save it. At the September board meeting, Defenders voted to reserve the Theta award ior citizen achievement, but also wishing to recognize and command industrial, com- merical, and city en­ vironmental accomplishments, they will make a separate award at their annual January dinner-meeting. Rebuild Program Of Religious Instruction The staff of St. John's parish in Johnsburg has rebuilt the program of religious in­ struction provided for the elementary school students of the parish who attend public school. The new structure in­ volves twenty-nine volunteer teachers in a program of in- service training, as well as small group instruction for the students. Classes meet for one 90- minute session each week. The groups, numbering between six and nine students, meet at a time and place chosen by the teacher. Most teachers hold class on a week day, in the late afternoon or early evening, in their own homes. Somes teachers use the school's classrooms for Saturday and Sunday classes. inane lci idin iicr v| The McHenry Plaindealer 3812 West Elm Street 1 ! Established 1075 Phone 385-0170 4400 W. RTE.120 McHENRY MARKET PLACE 385-4455 Lesson preparation and the gathering of materials is the task of the grade coordinator, who meets with the teachers of his particular grade once every;, week to explain that week's lesson and distribute materials. Since these eight coordinators provide the teacher training which is the heart of the program, their responsibilities include instruction in teaching methods as well as background for the content of the cirriculum. The teachers and coor­ dinators were commissioned for their work in the parish by the Pastor, Rev. Leo J. Bartel, at a Sunday Mass held Sept. 18. Receiving a certificate which formalized their involvement in the program, they were reminded that the call to spread the good news comes from Jesus Christ himself. The program is under the direction of the Rev. Mr. Jerome Tobin, Deacon and director of Religious Education and Ms. Joanne Roll, sixth grade teacher at the parish school.

NEWS i A six-months campaign to make the more than 200,000 Veterans Administration* employees increasingly aware, that good service is the prime mission of the agency was announced by VA Ad­ ministrator Max Cleland. The campaign is planned in conjunction with release of a! new VA motion picture, "VA May I Help You?", The film will be shown to VA employees, and will also be available for^ TV showings and use by Ideal veteran and civic; organizations. In a message to top agency, officials in the more than 350 VA installations throughout the nation, Administrator Cleland said, "The purpose of the, campaign is to emphasize our dedication and personaf commitment to provided competent, courteous and compassionate service to veterans with the sure* knowledge that how veterans feel about VA is a direct reflection of how we as em* ployees do our job." During the campaign, Mr. Cleland said, "every fields station and Washington office element will And its own unique ways in which to feature the "May I Help You?" theme. "He asked that "May I Help You?'" greetings be posted in all the places veterans visit to seek VA help, and that the phrase be' used by switchboard operators., Special recognition will be] given those employees who' earn incentive awards in the' opurse of the campaign for revising ways to improve VA operations and agency service to veterans and dependents. "The campaign," Cleland said in his message, "is my way of letting employees know that this is a new time with av new feeling in VA. Pride in work counts - together, we'll lef' veterans know it, too." I Betty Dermody, Volunteer - Betty Dermody of Greenville, S.C. invented a game. With it# she raises money for her charities and helps others raise money for theirs. .. The game, called Ins temational Bridge, doesn't require a knowledge of regulaf contract bridge, says it* originator. "I can take 100 people who have never played," says Mrs. Dermody, "and in 10 minutes they'll know what to do." • She charges a fee to run a party. The fee - minus expenses - goes to her charity. Proceeds go to the sponsor's charity. She is in great demand will go anywhere within a reasonable radius of Greenville. "I have a following," she says, "that goes with me wherever I have it," She keeps a card file of en­ thusiasts. It took some doing to perfect the game. Looking for a way to raise money for St. Francis Community hospital in 1959, she thought of the game.' With trail and error, she worked if out on her dining room table. I{ wasn't easy, but she kept at it; The first benefit party netted $26. Betty DErmody's most recent event for the hospital brought in $750, totalling $21,000 over the years. She also gives to the Greenville Shelter Workshop and Meals on Wheels. But she doesn't stop at games. Among other things; she delivers food for older shut* ins for Meals on Wheels. "I'm 70 years old and I deliver to people much younger than I am," says Mrs. Dermody. "I don't look it or feel it." The busy volunteer is modest about the extent of her work. "The more I give, " she says, "the more I get." Since she was little, says Betty Dermody, she always had a feel for those in need. "My creed is: 'It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness." We'll go along with that. Cool Cat "Were you nervous when you first asked your husband for money?"
