& HELPING PAWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 205 • Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014 • (815) 459-2641 Many a good pet can be found at the Animal Control center in Woodstock. They have mutts, pedigrees and cats galore. From time to time the faces may change but the quality of pet remains the same. Please visit them and save a life. Animal Control is a difficult job. Please make it easier for them and the pets they serve. Call 338-7040 or visit the center at 11608 Banford road in Woodstock. Photo Credit: Don Kaiser By Kathleen Thayer Last wefek Animal Control and Helping Paws once again joined forces with a common bond. That bond was the unity of disgust and hate. Hate is a strong word but somehow it seems to fit the incident. The HP secretary was called by a woman telling her that soifie construction workers Edgwood and Rodgers road, off of route 31, had just brought to her home a rain soaked box of very cold, 1-day old puppies...in fact, there were 13. Not a lucky number for them. She asked if we could help. Having no foster homes any more for dogs, and all of the volunteers have day time jobs, HP had no place for them to go. HP then contacted Animal Control, who at once went to the location and picked up the puppies. The secretary was then called by Trish at Animal Control and told that they were probably mostly Lab mix and that dile to the extreme weather conditions and no nursing mother on hand to help, would most surely die or have to be put down. A newborn pup needs con­ stant attention and 13 obviously need 13 times as much to make it. Both Trish and the HP secretary were sickened by the thought of what had happened. As is so often the case, after pups are born, many people don't want the trouble of caring for these lives and also if the dog was a pedigree and the pups weren't, they wouldn't want the mother to nurse. Imagine the frustration of the mother whose babies were taken from her. HP can't im­ press upon its readers enough the cruelty* of what those people did. They won't read this article because only people who care in the first place read this column. So, the anger will go unsatisfied. A further frustration is felt by Helping Paws since its goal is to help, and in this case it couldn t. If HP had ha^Tthat shelter clinic it still is saving for, Animal Control would not have had to take on this responsibility. The story is not over, however. As of the latest report, number 13 had died. Twelve yet remain and are being hand fed by volunteers. And what if they do make it? Will their fate be the same as if they had all died from exposure and pneumonia? Lab mix pups are not easily adopted. What of the people who are spending their time hand feeding and mothering* the pups? How will they feel after giving out all of this love only to see it end up as another wasted life? Please help them if you want to giv^a pup a home. Call and visit to see if maybe, just maybe, this dog may be the one for you. Call 338-7040, or come in to 11608 Banford road in Woodstock, off of route 120 and Raffle road. HP still is in need of someone to put the collection cans into the areas of Woodstock, Algqonquin and Wonder Lake. All this would mean is that one would receive permission from the store manager and keep THE LARGEST INVENTORY OF WATER PUMPS IN THE MIDWEST WE SERVICE ALL BRANDS •J*t Pump* •Submersible Pump* •All Typ« of Pump Port» •Coptiv» Air Tank* /TTi H •Water Filter* •Softener* •Hydr-o-matlc Sump Pump* •Well Drilling •Ideal Sump Pumps •Everything Water THE HOUSE THAT GOOD WELLS r ' BUILT W E L L & ̂'*15 385-5252 3200 N.

It is greatest source of revenue and the fuller those cans are, the better chance HP has of getting that shelter. Also, Crystal Lake needs Helping Paws adoption follow lip folks. A person only does, at many as she can or wants to do within her own area, as time permits. It amounts to calling on some folks wlio have adopted a cat or dog from HP. Ohe acts as an adviser if needed and at the same time sees that all is o.k. It's a happy job, a necessary job and a very rewarding pne. If you have spare time, HP has a great many different activities that need help. At times people have called in to volunteer but they are not cific or are unsure of what ey can do. If folks will follow the articles, and then if something really appeals, call at that time for more in­ formation and if that job is for you, HP will put you to work. Of course, HP desperately needs foster home dog folks. It has none. That means that Animal Control is the only help for dogs. Many a pup or small dog would be much better off in a home temporarily. Please, if you have the time, the place and the heart, call Pattie Cane at 459-6253 evenings or at the dffice Monday through Saturday from 10 to 4 p.m. at 439-2641.

OCTOBER t2,1»7» Twice Told Tales FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 10, 1929) The board of review for McHenry county, of which Thomas Bolger of this city is a member, has completed its work on the assessment for the present year, and has added an additional $500,000 to the taxable property in the county in addition to that turned in by the seventeen township assessors. Real estate lots and lands are assessed at $36,801,450 and the personal property is listed at $8,909,304. Cattle remain about the same in numbers this year as last year, with 41,901 reported this year, while last year there were 41,251 head. Alden leads with 3,292 head and Hebron is a close second with 3,283. Rev. W. Bonham will return to McHenry as pastor of the M.E. church for another year, according to the list of ap­ pointments read at the close of the 90th session of the Rock River conference in Downers Grove. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 19, 1939) Attorneys V. J. Knox and C. Russell Allen announced that they had served notice of ap­ peal in the quo warranto case against officials of the village of Lily Lake. The appeal is being made in behalf of Fred Dosch, who has been sub­ stituted for Louis Schroeder who died during the course of the trial. The case in question is a quo warranto filed against Henry W. Wise and others in connection with the organization of Lily Lake as a village in the circuit court on July 28, 1939. Judge William L. Pierce handed down a decision quashing the quo warranto. In the quo warranto it was asked that Wise, president of the newly elected village board, and other officers show by what authority they hold their of­ fices. Many people throughout the McHenry territory will be disappointed to learn that owing to the inability of the J.B. Rotnour players to secure an auditorium in which to put on their performances in McHenry, the plans had to be cancelled. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 14, 1954) Already in possession of more dairy championship honors than most farm people acquire in a lifetime, Marita Thomson, 16, of Elgin, chalked up probably her most im­ pressive winning to date at the International Dairy show in the Amphitheatre at the stock yards this week. Marita lived at McCullom Lake until two months ago and last June completed her sophomore year at the local high. Her Holstein cow was named champion of its breed in the junior show for farm boys and girls. For the ninth straight month, Illinois sales tax receipts slumped during September. Collections totalled $15,481,153 last month, or a decrease of $1,380,780 from the same month a year ago. For the first nine months of 1954, the sales levy produced $150,437,991 as compared with $158,479,545 for the three quarters of last year. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of October 17, 1969) The McHenry County board of supervisors, members ap­ proved a resolution opposing a new development to the east of McHenry, in Lake county, on the grounds that the sewage disposal would empty into Pistakee Bay, Pistakee Lake and the Fox River. Assistant Supervisor Thomas Huemann spoke out against the resolution, asserting that the board had not been advised of arguments on the side of the developers. The development to be known as Riverwoods, is being petitioned for rezoning. It included 650 acres which comprises the Wing 'N Fin property and Sullivan Farm, located north of Rt. 120 and west of Rt. 12. Progress towards the start of construction on McHenry's new Junior high school, at the in­ tersection of Rt. 120 and Ringwood road, was examined in detail by the board of District 15.

Front Street McHenry, Illinois forming Company which also presented last year's popular Mark Twain In Person. "We have found there is strong audience appeal for a one-man show that combines the elements of history, comedy and drama, and a performance by a fine actor," comments Douglas Rankin, director of the Woodstock Opera House. "The small size and historic nature of our theatre also adds to the ex­ perience." Darrow the lawyer is best known for his participation in the landmark case called the Scopes Monkey Trial which challenged the teaching of evolution in public schools. He was opposed by the also-great William Jennings Bryan. Pritner the actor is chairman of Illinois State University's theatre department and has been developing the role of Darrow for over two years. "The performance is designed to be a warm, humorous yet dramatic presentation of the life and legal battles of a champion for the rights of the common man," says Pritner. "Darrow's story is also the history of Chicago and Illinois at the turn of the century."
