Fifteen McHenry high school students will be competing in state vocational education competition Friday and Saturday, April 27 and 28, in Springfield. This state contest is sponsored by VIC A, the Vocational and Industrial Club of America State winners advance to national com­ petition in Atlanta, Ga., in July. McHenry high school students have been active in this organization for several years, with local students serving in several regional and state offices. Those students participating in the competition this year are Robert Anderson, welding; Kris Berent, cosmetology; Chris Buhrmann, electrical trades; Tibby Drake, cen­ terpiece; Desiree Frantz, nurse's aide; Jeff Freres, Tom Henely, Tom Richards, Terry Schimon and Brian Wagner, auto mechanics; Ann Kluth, commercial art and logo; Bill Knor, machine shop; Dan Muller, prepared speech; Dan Read, graphic com­ munications. In additiona to those students listed, three students, Mary Foley, Laurie Lamphier, and Julie Smith, will be attending as voting delegates in club proceedings and rule-making for next year's competition. The contests are difficult; in many areas, only those who qualify by doing well in a written test may advance to the more applied levels of com­ petition. In auto mechanics, these would include bench tests, and "under the hood" diagnosis of engine problems. In cosmetology, the areas of competition include permanent waving, hair coloring, cutting, and styling. In machine trades, the competition \krould include various machining and set up operations. The students will be ac­ companied by their sponsors, Mrs. Beth Marcello, cooperative education in­ structor and Mrs. Emma Chaberski, school nurse and health careers instructor.

WOODSTOCK HORHSBYS fami ly centers DAILY 9-9 SUNDAY 10-6 YOU AND YOUR PET By Robert L. Stear, D.V.M Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories McCullom Lake Mary Jo Farrell 344-1575 Looking At Eye Trouble The eyes of your pet -- like your own eyes - are highly sensitive organs that need special care. Eyes are shielded by the eyelids, protected by the eye sockets, and constantly lubricated with tears. However; these protective mechanisms cannot prevent all eye problems, and you should be alert for signs of eye trouble. Redness and tearing, cloudiness or bluish discolorations excessive blinking and inflamed eyelids tell you that your pet needs assistance. Dust, dirt or other foreign* material trapped in the eye readily causes redness and weeping. If these symptoms appear, calm your pet and try to examine the irritated eye. If you spot the particle, try to gently lift it out with a bit of moistened sterile cotton. When you cannot see any reason for your pet's distress, it's time for some professional help. Con- junctivities, corneal scratches and bacterial infections cause inflammation similar to that caused by a foreign body. Neglected scratches or other superficial injuries to the surface of the eve create cloudv of bluish spots on the cornea, a thin transparent layer on the front of the eyeball. The spots are the result of changes on or within the cornea to repel the infection. If the eye is treated properly, the infection will recede, and the spotting will clear. Clouding of the lens, which is deeper in the eye, is called a cataract. Generally thought to be a result of aging, the cataract may involve all or only part of the lens, and may be seen by looking through the pupil (the dark spot in the center of the eye). Research has perfected a technique for cataract removal, so that the pet can still see objects in its path, even though it cannot focus well Recently cataracts have been observed in poodles and Boston terriers as young as five years old Veterinarians are trying to determine if early development of cataracts is a hereditary trait. A condition that is definitely inherited is a tendency toward malformed eyelids In certain small dogs, the lower eyelid turns in and causes the eyelashes to brush the cornea. Each time the dog blinks, the cornea becomes more irritated, making the dog blink even more. Exessive blinking is a sign that you need to take your pet to a veterinarian The opposite situation, where the eyelid turns outward or sags downward is seen in large dogs like the St. Bernard The ex­ posed innei" lining of the eyelids is a perfect trap for bacteria and dust, and becomes irritated and infected. Minor corrective surgery in either case eliminates the problem There is one instance where an eye defect presents only a cosmetic problem Many poodles lack a tiny duct which normally drains away excess fluid from the eye. In these animals, tears spill over the edge of the lower lide and stain the hair on either side of the nose a dark rust color. Although it causes the dog no discomfort, some poodle owners choose to have the condition surgically corrected Prompt attention to these and smiliar eye problems can prevent or correct these con­ ditions in your pet. Dr. Stear regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He suggest that pet owners consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. * * * * Many of today's younger generation are strong on high pay and weak on hard work.
