If you are new here and I missed you, please call me. DOG PROBLEMS Sometime ago we had a messy problem here in Country Club, the loose dog situation. Many complaints were made concern­ ing the dogs running loose, tearing up lawns and newly seeded gardens, ruining land­ scaping and just being a general nuisance. Due largely to the good-neighbor policy here in our area, the problem was re­ solved to everyone's satisfac­ tion. Since school started an­ other problem concerning our K-9 friends has come up. Many of our residents, accustomed to letting their dogs out alone have forgotten our school chil­ dren. The kids waiting for the school buses have been chased, scared, jumped on and muddied- up nearly every morning. Most of the dogs, friendly as they may be, get excited with all the children standing around and tend to get a little wild. Let's all make an effort to either take our dogs on leash or leave them out after 8:15 when all the kids are safely on the school buses. A HELPING HAND NEEDED.... I desperately need help to keep this column going..During the past few weeks the small items that appeared have been from my old stand-bys who have beien calling since this column first appeared.

Deaths jESSr N01TC CUB PACK 131 Last Thursday, Cub Pack 131 spent a few happy hours at the McHenry Go Cart Park. This was one bit of entertainment the boys especially enjoyed since they paid for it themselves with money from various fund raising efforts through the past year.

Before this date, new members will be contacted. This pack has a uniform ex­ change.

CHANGE AGE QUALIFICATIONS FOR DLOOD DONORS Changes have been announced in the Blood Bank donor qual­ ifications, which state that A- mericans in good health can now be blood donors at the age of 18 years without parental con­ sent (state of Illinois) and may continue to donate blood up to their sixty-sixth birthday. The extension to 66 years was explained by Dr. Frank Coleman of Tampa, Fla., pres­ ident of the American Associa­ tion of Blood Banks: "This ex­ tension of the eligible age lim­ ited for blood donors is in recognition of two facts: first, that the need for blood is con­ stantly increasing at a rate of about 13 per cent annually; sec­ ond that thanks to better med­ ical care, better nutrition and other factors, Americans are living longer and also keeping their health and vigor longer than in the past.

The special week proclaimed by Gov. Richard J. Ogilvie is high­ lighted by Lions Candy Day for the Blind, Friday, Oct. 10. More than $4,500,000 has been raised and distributed to agencies serving the blind dur­ ing the seventeen-year history of the program. This year's Candy Day goal is set at $600,- 000. Candy Day contributions go right to work enabling the sightless person to learn new skills and gain mobility that is translated into broadened hor­ izons and self-support. The agencies , supported by Lions Candy Day include the Hadley School for the Blind, Winnet- ka, where the sightless learn via braille and recorded cor­ respondence courses. The school, called the "University of Courage" offers more than 100 courses ranging from fifth grade level into college, and currently has more than 3,000 students enrolled. Candy Day funds help support Leader Dogs for the Blind which provides guide dogs at no cost to blind persons. The school is supported primarily by Lions clubs' contributions, with Can­ dy Day funds supplying about 25 percent of Leader Dog's annual operating budget. Last year the school trained and graduated more new students with dogs than any comparable organization in the nation. Candy Day collections also provide a recreational period for the sightless boys and girls at Illinois Camp Lions located at Hastings Lake. Here, the children have an opportunity to enjoy two weeks in the out­ doors. There is swimming in an Olympic sized pool, boating, hiking, cycling, horseback rid­ ing, handicraft, plus many out­ door activities featured at the camp. Donations 'on Candy Day are also directed to Dialogue, a re­ corded magazine, written and edited by the blind, commonly referred to by the blind, as their window to the world. Dialogue is published quarterly to keep the sightless informed on cur­ rent events. Candy Day funds spearhead a program of Sight Conserva­ tion, and Restoration through the Illinois Society for the Pre­ vention of Blindness. On Oct. 6, the Lions clubs of Illinois will present to the Illinois society a new mobile Eye Clinic to be used in the state of Illinois for the detec­ tion of Glaucoma, one of the largest causes of blindness.
