Box 205 • Crystal Lake, lllinoi* 60014 by Estelle Atwell The money's nice- and Helping Paws does earn a tidy sum on each of its various tag days, bake sales, raffles, garage sales, etc Revenue from these events helps swell reserve funds that go to sustain HP's efforts to help animals But there is a potential of a greater reward with each contact made by HP with the public It's the discovery once in a while of a rare individual, a person genuinely interested in this cause, who has the time and incentive to help in his or her individual way The value of finding one such person who could start the HP fall school classroom presentations of a film for young viewers. The Animals Are Crying can't be estimated in dollars and cents In time it will be measured in lives saved and humane treatment of animals For instance, one foster home in one year may save as many as 15 canine or feline lives One person, exhibiting the film in classrooms could reach hun dreds of children This, in turn, will have a far-reaching effect as they grow to adulthood and accept pet responsibilities If our readers are interested in either of these phfcseS of the work please call the HP office, 459 2641 The successes are too few. the misses too many, in the reckoning of lost and found pets reunited with their owners It has been said before but cannot be emphasized enough -check on a lost animal, or report a found animal immediately to Animal Control in Woodstock, 338-7040 Then keep following up with repeated calls and visits and don't give up in a week, ten days, or two weeks Sometimes a reunion is made after several months Animal Control welcomes CONTRACTORS Job Hold Up ftocauso of Concroto Dolivory Dolayf Call Accu-Croto, Inc.

In recovering a lost animal, it's best to go in person to Animal Control No one can identify a pet as successfully as its owner can If one trip isn't fruitful, go again and keep looking Verbal descriptions on the phone can't always accomplish the iden tification Remember too that Animal Control only picks up an animal if a request is made But if a report of a lost or found animal is made, they will have a record of it. and if the owner calls this report can help match pet and owner A certain caller to the HP office was in a desperate state She will have to move into an apartment for •> months while her new home is being built She ow ns a female cat. one year old, well behaved, and she wants to keep that cat But she simply cannot find a landlord w ho w ill accept the cat, and she feels that professional boarding is too expensive This is an urgent "right now" situation and there's no time for long searches From this dilemma and others like it emerged the idea of boarding homes for pets The pet owner would provide food, litter, medical expenses, plus a boarding fee. to someone willing to keep her cat for six months The cat will be spayed and is an inside cat HP's role is solely that of providing another community service They will put the pet owner and the boarding home in touch with each other and there will be no fee Please call the HP office if you can offer her cat a tem porary home.

"If farmers use the 1979 program as well as they did this year, we believe that farm wheat prices will be main tained," the Secretary said. "This program is also anti- inflationary. These provisions will not add to food price in flation," Secretary Bergland added. USDA studies show that no set-aside in 1979 would result in U.S. wheat stocks being well above needs, considerably lower farm prices, higher government payments, and a decrease in export earnings from wheat. "Good participation in the 20 percent set-aside should result in wheat stocks on June 1, 1980 near 7.5 percent of the projected world wheat use or approximately 1 135 billion bushels," he said Today's Youth BY PATRICK DUDGEON Young Families Young families can benefit from social security, too If you're a young worker and your income is cut drastically -- or, even stopped altogether -- because you became disabled or if you should die, social security can mean a lot Chances are that when you think about social security you think mostly about older people and retirement and Medicare But that's not the whole social security story, not by a long shot. For example, suppose a young father of two small children -- both under five years of age -- is killed in an accident His average earnings covered by social security are $1,000 a month His widow and children would receive about $995 each month in social security -- about $11,460 each year By the time the oldest child reaches 18. this family could have received almost $149,000 at present benefit rates It's likely that the family would get higher monthly checks in future years, however, because the social security law provides for automatic benefit increases as living costs rise In addition, the widow could conceiveably receive monthly benefits when she reaches 60 If the children stay in school, they're eligible for benefit pay ments until age 22 Playing The zoo keeper received an irate phone call describing the fact that the monkeys were play ing poker He was warned to do something about it right a- way. "It's ok," the keeper com mented, "they're just play ing for peanuts• " AIDS New Aids, Batteries and Service.
