mc Donna's craving for a puppy is a subconscious evidence of her desire to be loved. For - puppies don't expect you to absorb their affection via telepathy! Instead, they bark to verbalize their love and al- 'so wag their tails in delight ' to add visible proof of their -fondness for you. Wives,take a lesson from puppies! By - George W„ Crape, Ph. D., M. D. CASE C-513: Donna B., aged 9, is an only child. "Dr. Crane," her worried mother began, "Donna keeps begging to have a puppy. "But my husband is away a great deal, since he isatraveiing salesman. "So I would probably be forced to clean up after the dog and try to housebreak it. "And sooner or later I'd probably be the one to take it for a walk. "So is it wise to try to have a puppy in a city home or apartment?" DOG DILEMMAS Parents, it is wise to give your children a pet. But you can accomplish maybe fifty percent of that goal by offering the youngster a cloth monkey or dog or wooly lamb. The children will then impute human qualities to such a toy pet and also be far less fearful at bedtime if they can sleep with this stuffed creature. Our five Crane children, although close together in age, still had their own stuffed animals. TTiey took them to bed at night, too, and Mrs. Crane or I would often find two or three of these pecs on the oillow beside Judy or the boys. But a live pet is also very helpful to the proper emotional growth of a youngster. The child who feels overlooked by busy parents, or who is shy and fearful that, it isn't loved, will blossom out when it has a puppy. For puppies , SHOW their affection! They rush up and bark when the child gets home from school. They also wag their tails and thus inflate the ego of the youngster by visibly indicating their delight. And they don't scold a child for low marks or muddy clothes! In fact, many of you wives might take a lesson from your child's puppy! < For when you were a new bride, you also rushed to the door when ydur husband returned from work and likewise showed your affection and happiness. Now you wives complacently stay in the kitchen when your husband reaches home. "Dr. Crane," you . defend yourselves, "I am just in the middle of cooking dinner so I can't run away from the stove." Malarky! That's a lazy alibi. But fathers, as well as mothers, also seem to think your child will automatically realize that you love it, even if you don't state that fact aloud; Beware! For children crave tangible evidences of affection. They don't want to read your minds, as by telepathy, to ascertain your love for them! That's why they doubly relish having a puppy, for puppies don't depend on telepathy. Instead, they visibly and audibly SHOW their affection daily! So send for my 200-poirtt "Tests for Good Parents," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents, and raise your parental batting average! (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.)

County Residents Meet For Illinois Sesquicentennial Mo IES BERNICE WILSON 385-4380 SPACESAVER ... The use of air space above freeways is shown in this photo of high-rise apartments spanning New York's George Washington Bridge Expressway. The first meeting regarding the Illinois Sesquicentennial was held on March 29 at 8 p.m.-in the supervisor's room, Court House Annex, Woodstock. Supervisors George W. Lowe, Edwin J. Buckley and Thomas H. Huemann conducted the meeting. Mr. Buckley opened the meeting with a welcome to tho^e present and explained the Dlinoijs Sesquicentennial program fdr 1968. Members of the committee delegated by the county board to follow through on the Illinois Sesquicentennial program are Edwin J. Buckley, George Watson Lowe, Thomas H. Huemann, Howard E. Vogel and Harold Freese. The Illinois Sesquicentennial "commission came to be on April 18, 1966, at the University of Illinois in an effort to have a real celebration for Illinois to mark 150 years of statehood. At this time, the main body of the commission met and were addressed by Gov. Kerner who said: "We actually became a state, of course, on Dec. 3, 1818, when President James Monroe signed the act of statehood. Our first governor, Shadrach Bond, was inaugurated on Oct. 6th, and the first constitution of Illinois was adopted on the date which appears on our official state seal, Aug. 26.Die first of the great days, however, was April 18, and it was onthis day that the President gave his approval to the enabling act which set up the procedures by which the Territory of Illinois might gain statehood." The Sesquicentennial will begin on Dec. 4, 1967, and end on Dec. 3, 1968, the 150th anniversary exactly to the day when Congress officially admitted us as twenty-first state in the Union. Buckley said "With your help and ideas, we can show McHenry county as a growing county and a wonderful part of Illinois that RESIDENT IRKED BY FREQUENT LOSS OF DRIVE MARKERS I had a call from Howard Bieritz of Riverside Drive asking me to put in an item about the loss of his driveway markers. It seems that he has had to replace them a number of times and wonders who is collecting them. We presume this is just a childish prank so if your children are coming home with strange articles it might be a good idea to find out where they got them. BIRTHDAYS Best wishes for a happy birthday this week are going out to John Flint, Sr., on April 6; Ruth Dodge on April 7; Constance Lindwall on April 8, Kathleen Marie Clark who will be 11 on April 10 and Ray Pogor on the same day, Bertha Quinn and John Palmer on April 12.

HENSHALLS GO TO ONTARIO The Henshall family drove up to London, Ontario, for four days over the Easter week end and visited Tom's sister and her family. The weather was wonderful and the children enjoyed the trip and the visit with their cousin. On Saturday evening all attended a dance given by the St. George Society, wliich is made up of folks who have moved to Canada from England. After the dance a contest was held and prizes given to the ones wearing the most authentic costumes of the year 1867 and the Henshalls were asked to be the judges. On Sunday evening they went bowling and played a different game using just five pins and they called duck pins. Upon leaving for home Monday morning all agreed they had a full and pleasant time. AROUND THE SHORES The Harper family spent Easter day with Shirley's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hemzack, in Berkely, 111. After dinner other members of the large family got together for a reunion. The Hinzes had unexpected visitors on Wednesday when John's three cousins drove in from Chicago and stayed for stopper. On faster day their daughter, Shirley Hess, and her husband and two children came up and had a fine ham dinner with their parents. Fritz and Doris accompanied by their daughter, Sandy, and her husband, Tom Ballowe, went to Palatine for the holiday meal at the home of Ken and June Wetzel. Doris thought everything tasted extra good since she did not have to do any cooking. Ing Corcoran got a surprise visit from her sister, Mrs. John Annas, and her two daughter son Wedneday when they drove in from Birmingham, Mich. After lunch all went to the Woodstock Residence to visit with Bill. Well the snow has finally melted, the grass is getting green, and we are beginning to see our neighbors again as they are all coming out of their homes and working in the yard. With all of this going on can spring be far behind?

Buckley explained that in the larger cities, the City councils were delegated to handle the program and in other counties, as McHenry county, the county board of sqpervisors was delegated to make as fine a program as possible for our representative part. The meeting was turned over to Mr. Lowe who suggested a possible breakdown into committees such as Education, Churches, Industry, Agriculture, etc. with ttye chairman of each committee working with general chairman and serving as general executive committee. Mr. Lowe presented a pamphlet called "The Challenge of the Sesquicentennial" compiled by the Illinois Sesquicentennial commission. Mr. Lowe said the state wants each county to bring their history up to date and this will require the work of many people. Mr. Lowe presented four books of history of McHenry county that have been published through the years dated 1877, 1885, 1903 and 1922 (2 vol.). Mr. Lowe gave an example of bringing transportation up to date mentioning steam power and the first railroad through Cary in 1854. ' The committee from the Board of Supervisors has met with William B. Joyce, field representative for northern Illinois, in an effort to present county program and complement state program. Mr. Buckley stressed the importance of the educational value in getting children to know the history of this area. Mr. Lowe said he thought history should be brought up to date from the beginning in 1834 and-put into one book. The state plants to publish a brochure of special events and those suggested for McHenry county were the Ski Meet at Fox tfiver Grove, Harvard Milk Day, McHenry Marine Festival, Woodstock's V-J Day, Algonquin Founders Day, Union Schwabenfest, etc. The county board of supervisors has allotted $2500 for sesquicentennial activiite§. A county-wide celebration was discussed and another meeting date was set for Wednesday, April 12, at 8 p.m. in the supervisor's room, Court House Annex, Woodstock, at which time committees will be selected. It is hoped that village presidents, mayors, township officials, organization representatives and interested persons will attend.
