"The background and experience these new teachers .ig to us, combined with the expertise of our returning staff, give us one of the strongest staffs in r history," stated Supt Ron Svoboda, STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Ringing school-bells are staring to beckon students back to class and State Supt. of Education Joseph M. Cronin is urging parents and guardians to have their children fully immunized against certain diseases and obtain health examinations. "Immunizations and health examinations required of children attending both public and non-public schools is an important concern to all parents and guardians. It's not only a responsibility to one's own child, but to other children in the school," Cronin explains. All children entering school are required bjf state law to be immunized Against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), measles, and rubella. Also, children are required by law to have health examinations before entering school and at the fifth and ninth grade levels. In order to prevent epidemics in each of the disease categories outlined by state law, the Illinois Department of Public Health estimates that 90 percent of the children in Illinois need to be immunized in each disease category. Children who fail to comply with the requirements for immunizations and health examinations can be excluded from attending school. A new state law, signed by Gov. James Thompson Aug. 13, places added responsibility on schools in making sure health examination and immunization requirements are met. Beginning in October for next year, school districts reporting less than 80 percent of their student population having the required immunizations and health examinations will lose 10 percent of each monthly state aid payment. The compliance level for 1981 and thereafter will be 90 percent. School district officials will have to report their compliance level figures to the Illinois state boardof education on Oct. 15 of each year. ft HELPING PAWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 205 • Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014 •(815) 459-2641 By Mary Nelson l nere are many reasons why " iping Paws finds itself ...-ncially going under. The oi ganization belongs to the group of other charitable o ieties that are suffering the .ame fate. The services it p r o v i d e s b e c o m e m o r e ex- 'p isive with the growth of the community; those services become more expensive as ose we rely upon keep raising i heir prices to meet their needs; contributions come in as 'i.iey once did but due to in­ flation, they no longer are sufficient to cover our costs. It a fact that when averaged out, with each adoption we lose money. Many of our animals have received shots, medical treatment and at times ex­ tensive care before adoption. For example, "Sweetheart" our office kitty pictured in last week's column, has cost to date with surgery, medication and shots, $63.00. Upon her adop­ tion, we receive $20. Of that $20, $3 will be paid a follow-up representative to visit the home after the adoption...thus making a losee of $46. The answer of course would be, don't provide these services before or after adoption. If we didn't we wouldn't be Helping Paws. We will continue until the last dollar runs out to help each and every animal in our charge.. Quality of care has always come before the almighty buck and, frankly, that is what has finally brought us to our knees. As director, I will continue to do everything in my power to explain and correct our plight. It takes from me certain qualities that, up to now, I have not possessed. I am not a fund­ raiser. nor a go-getter with a sales pitch personality. This makes it difficult for Helping Paws to benefit from my work oh their behalf. I have begun to push myself in directions I have npt tried before. Frankly I don't like it. as it is uncomfortable for me but, it must be done if we are to survive. |We will be engaging in several activities to ultimately help us out financially. Cable liv is coming to McHenry and HP will be a part of the programming. Once a week we will share the spotlight with Jpck Raehorst of the Animal Cbntrol center in Woodstock, where the program will be filmed. Look for us. Also we have added another newspaper to our ranks for more exposure. Finally, please get ready for the Morris Memorial Cat show, which will take place Sept. 9 at the Crystal Point Mall.

One of the more useful chapters is that about heart attacks, today's biggest killer of Americans. In brief, here's some of the pertinent information. Heart attacks often begin with severe pain in the center of the chest, which can spread to shoulders, arms and neck. Skin goes dead white or gray and the victim may become unconscious. Lay the patient on back, nothing under head. Pinch nostrils of victim closed and blow four full breaths into the mouth. If there's no heartbeat, and you have no help, start compressions with your hand, rate of 80 per minute, stopping every fifteen to blow two breaths within five seconds into victim's mouth.' If there's a helper, compressions are 60 per minute (Uninterrupted), with the other person blowing into the mouth every five compressions. One should study a chart or get instruction to safely perform compressions. But if impossible, both heels of the hands are used, one over the other, fingers held up, and they push downward with force about one and a half inches above the lower end of the breast bone. This is in the center of the chest, well above the two tips of the rib bones. Find it by feeling rib bones and moving fingers up between them until you find, higher up in center, the end of breast bone. One and a half inches higher is where one should place his hands for compressions. These compressions should be vigorous. Of course, a doctor should have been called, if possible, immediately. And the neck, just to the side of the front center, is the best place to check pulse. You can continue compressions for an hour, the book suggests. And if victim recovers, he should be kept warm and quiet and be sent to the hospital. This short description is for emergency use only; read the book or get proper instruction, to be properly trained and to avoid damaging mistakes. r HOSPITAL NOTES 51 MCHENRY Admissions: Marie Pavlovic of McHenry, Marilia Dember of Island Lake, Margaret Thurston of Crystal Lake, and Alice K.
