Box 205 • Crystal Lake, Illinois *0014 • (115) 459*2641 By Mary Nelson The the meeting of the board of directors Oct. 17 went very well indeed. All were happy to vote onto the board Harriet i of Crystal Lake and Sue of Cary. Sue has been a - home volunteer for years recently took complete charge of the successful Cary tag day. Harriet is a newcomer to HP, but tlirough her fantastic efforts with the collection cans, has brought in much needed monies. Speaking of money, since the plea began, $4,000 has been added to the treasury. This means that with cutting cor­ ners and careful expenditure watching. HP will be able to sustain itself at least through the spring months. HP was also very fortunate to add to it ranks a new treasurer, Major Ernest Robins, Crystal Lake. As a former officer in the U.S. army, he runs the kind of taut ship HP has been needing all along. With his help and guidance, the money will be correctly and wisely utilized. During a lull in the meeting, one of the visitors who wants to be a volunteer asked a thought- provoking question: "If you work with the Animal Control center in Woodstock and, in fact, gave them $5,000 as a help to begin the center, how can you justify the killing of animals if you yourselves are a no-kill facility?"

YOU'RE THE GREATEST! Kiwanis Motto "WE BUILD" It was a question probably asked by many of HP's readers and certainly deserving of an answer. The best way to begin would be first to think of what McHenry county's animals (domestic and wild) would do without it. There would be no cruelty investigations, as our staff is very limited and already spread thin. The cruelty calls alone are life saving services to the abused animal. What about the wild life? How many deer would remain in newly constructed foun­ dations of homes where they would eventaully die of star­ vation, terror or in pain from wounds inflicted by whe fall. What about those puppies found in the box two weeks ago who are now fighting for life under the TLC of Animal Control staff who, while working, keep the box of pups under their desks and attend to,, them as they are Sble? Of course, a person could go on and on with many examples of the kindness and con­ sideration which is a part of the Animal Control center, but it suffices to say that the most difficult part of their job is to come to work on a Monday morning and know that because "ihere is no more room at the inn", some of the pets within those cages will be put to death. All at HP find moral and personal comfort both in having the policy of "no kill", but then to be perfectly honest, HP doesn't have to face the problem. Even if HP had a shelter-clinic, it still vtould not put the animals to death; but then those HP could not accept, the unadoptables, would mice again go to Animal Control where the obvious end would be death. No blame can be put on the Animal .Control center, nor on the pets they serve to protect: but rather HP, the center and the pets, are all victims of man. Man who dumps unwanted animals, who tortures, who starves and selfishly regards animal life as inferior to his own...this then is the cause of the many deaths in our country. Replying to the comment that such' a thing was unfair, a person was known to say "and whatever made you think anything man does could ever be fair?" I t's a thought isn't it.

The best anti freeze or coolant, as it is more correctly called, is seldom effective after a year, or 12,000 miles. Coolants not only offer protection against freezing, they inhibit corrosion and system -clogging rust particles To keep your cooling system in the best condition, we recommend a yearly drain and pressure backflush of the system, and the installation of fresh coolant _ Don't put it off. Have your coolant checked at least once a year by the cooling system specialists. We're always ready to serve you.

Photo credit: Don Kaiser / At the monthly meeting of the McHenry Nunda Library district board of trustees, held Oct. 18, the resignation of .Geraldine Smith of Eastwood Manor was regretfully ac­ cepted. Diane Fuhler of Lilymoor and Rosalie Smith of Kent Acres Were voted in as new board members. They will be officially sworn it at the next public meeting, Nov. 8. The board is working diligently to improve library services at the small rental building currently being used. Longer hours open including Tuesday mornings, a new copying machine, additional periodicals, a soon to be in­ stalled book drop, and more best sellers, are all part-of the ongoing improvements. This district library en* compasses Settler's Woods, Eastwood Manor, South ValMar, Kent Acres, Lilymoor, Lakemoor, northern portion of Nunda township, and Fritzsche Estates. Persons not paying for library service on property tax bills may purchase a non­ resident card, which is honored at libraries in the surrounding areas. n Beef Fat The color of beef fat is- not an indication of quality -- it varies with the breed, age and feed of the animal. . Long-Life Bulbs Longer-life bulbs are recom­ mended for use in places where it is difficult to change bulbs. They give several times as many hours of use as standard bulbs, but they also provide less light per watt. Egg Standards The size of eggs are deter­ mined by minimum weight per dozen. Extra large must be 27 ounces per dozen; large, 24 ounces; and medium, 21 oun- Handicapped Awareness Week Now In Planning In 1975, the National Easter Seal society was successful in establishing National Han­ dicapped Awareness week. In each succeeding year, Easter Seals' achievements in this area have expanded, both nationally and at the local level. The Easter Seal Society for McHenry County, as the sponsoring agency, invites the public to attend a 1980 National Handicapped Awareness week orientation meeting to be held at McHenry County college. Room 241, Thursday, Nov. 1, at 11:15 a.m. The purpose of the meeting is to give agencies and- or individuals in this area the opportunity to become involved with next year's planning and activities. A summary of the 1979 ob- • jectives and programs will be presented, along with some ideas for the 1980 program. Awareness week has the potential to become a strong J county-wide endeavor, but it will require everyone's ,, cooperation. Public input is needed to establish core committees and program special activities. National Handicapped ; Awareness week will be held during the third week in Oc­ tober in 1980, and by scheduling ; this meeting now, nearly a full year is allowed for planning and development. For further information, call the Easter Seal Therapy Center at 338- 1707. BY JOSKPH COOLS staff psychologist i from the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County. (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry county readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health center staff. This article is "Coping - Day Care.") With so many single parent families, and so many families with both husband and wife working full time, there is an increased interest in day care for very young children. While there appears to be no lack of day care facilities, many parents are concerned about the effect that day care may have on their children, par­ ticularly for parents of pre­ school children. If the day care facility is adequately run, the effect on the children can be a very positive, stimulating experience. It is up to the parent to decide if the day care facility is able to provide a good environment for the child. Licensing of a day care facility does not necessarily guarantee quality care, nor does a lack of a license in a "baby sitter" mean that the quality of day care is poor. One of the best ways to decide on day care is to visit the facility or home and talk at length with the person who will actually be involved with the child. Talking with other parents who have children already in that day care facility is also a good idea. Any day care facility would be happy to let a parent actually observe other children to see what actually goes on in day care. Usually when a child is brought to the day care, the child will cry and cling to the parent. If the parent has some feelings that the child continues to be unhappy the entire day, it is a good idea to make arrangements to visit sometime during the middle of the day to observe the child. It is most helpful, if possible, to see the child without the child being aware that the parent is there, so the parent can get an accurate picture of how the child is reacting to the day care experience. Next: Magical Thinking in Children (JE BIBU MM ) And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. Isaiah 2:17 Mankind has always been susceptible to the foolishness that comes with too much pride. When success brings power and recognition to the wisest of men it is likely to bring haughtiness as well.- Let us be thankful for achievements, fateful for the success that comes our way -- but never forget, as Isaiah re­ minds us, that all men will stand as one on God's judg­ ment day. The power of kings, presi­ dents, dictators and tryants is always temporary and short­ lived . . . while the great­ ness of God is eternal. to 0-">os Add a touch of class to your pickup, van or 4 x 4 with |fie X*- R 90 Running Board OwensrClassic.
