X PAGE 10-PLAINDEALEft-WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1972 Indian Princess Chief Announces Recruitment Date Dick Smith, chief of the In­ dian Princess YMCA Dancing Waters Nation, is organizing his nine tribes to add new fathers and daughters to the program for first, second and third graders. Smith is shown at the rear with his daughter and other tribal members at the 1972 spring banquet. They were reciting their original script based on their tribal name, Sioux. Smith was chairman of the banquet. Recruitment will be held in cooperation with McHenry county school districts in Crystal Lake, Cary, Fox River Grove, McHenry, Wonder Lake, Woodstock and Algonquin. From Sept. 5 through 8, invitations will be given to all first, second and third grade children of the above districts by Phil Sprinkle, youth director of the YMCA. From Sept. 11 through 18, fathers and daughters of existing tribes will be on hand at the schools on a scheduled evening. They will give all new fathers and daughters their first Indian Princess feather, tell about the program and invite them to join a tribe. Smith and other Nation members also have drawn up a schedule of events for 1972-73. He relates other activities besides the banquet which will be held on May 20, 1973. Tribal meetings will be held two times a month during the school year. A Halloween party will be held Oct. 27 and the winter campout, Feb. 10. More information is available at the Lake Region YMCA office, 95 Grant street, Crystal Lake. of *fhe. JgAfc&El- JFISH • A M -- > „ fotSOMOV^l, Dick Smith And Tribal Members The Law Serves You Court Says Unwed Father May Have Right To Child A new consideration has been injected into the legal process of adopting children. According to the Illinois State Bar association, it is no longer enough for the unwed mother to give her consent to the adoption of her child - a consent which when given in writing and after sufficient time to allow for second thoughts on the part of the mother has historically satisfied the law. Now, the U.S. Supreme court has ruled, the rights of the unwed father have un­ c o n s t i t u t i o n a l l y b e e n overlooked. He, too, must be consulted as to his feelings about his offsprings, even though illegitimate, for adoption. According to the ISBA, the high court affirmed recent lower court decisions recognizing the right of the father to try to claim the .child. In effect, the Supreme court said, if the mother has a decision to make as to whether she will keep her child or surrender all rights to it, then the father is at least entitled to a hearing on the same question. However, the ruling doesn't s& an adoption court must abiae by a father's decision to claim the child. As the ISBA notes, the court must be guided by what is, in its opinion, in the best interest of the child. Whereas the full impact of the court's ruling is yet to be determined, it calls for some changes ii\ adoption procedures in certain cases, and it nullifies the Illinois law concerning the exclusive right of the mother (or her parents or guardian if she is underage) to give her child away. The Supreme court left it to lower courts or state legislatures to decide just how much time should be allowed for the father to step forward, identify himself, and assert a claim to the child, and precisely what steps should be taken to obtain the father's consent to an adoption. In any case, the ISBA points out, an attorney should be consulted in the early stages of any adoption plan. Helpful i n f o r m a t i o n c o n c e r n i n g adoption also is contained in the ISBA's free pamphlet "Adoption - A Family Matter of Legal Importance," which may be obtained on request to the Illinois Bar center, Springfield, Illinois 62701 (enclose a stamped, self- addressed envelope).

Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories Nothing can be more fun than paling around with your dog or cat during the warm days of summer. But one thing you should keep in mind, particularly during the humid summer and early fall, is the presence of external parasites - ticks and fleas - that make a home on the skin and fur of your pet. These parasites can drop off your pet and crawl into cracks or crevices, under your rugs, floor boards or furniture and lay eggs - causing serious problems. Once this happens, the pests are extremely difficult to eliminate without drastic cleaning and insecticidal treatment. Without exception, ticks are dependent upon your animal's blood for survival. Most pets tolerate a few ticks but become irritated and restless as the numbers increase. They often try to rid themselves of the pests by rubbing, scratching, licking and biting. By doing this, they aggravate the situation and the irritated raw areas become secondarily infected - as smaller ticn~ can become imbedded in the swelling tissue. Toxic effects can cause weight loss, failure to eat and lethargy. Frequently, ticks attach themselves to the ears, neck and flanks but they can also be found all over the body, from the larva stage ("seed ticks") to the engorged female, easily detectable by the eye. To rid your pet of ticks when only a few are present, you can simply pluck them off, taking care that this is done without breaking off the mouthparts or "head". If this does occur, you must use care to remove the broken parts. If the ticks are more numerous, additional measures will be necessary. In this case, washing with proper medication is usually more effective than sprays or dusts as it penetrates the hair better and reaches all the ticks. In the cases where larvae are present, the difficulty of removal is such that the pet should be taken to your veterinarian for treatment. Any abcess or ulcerated area, of course, also should be treated with appropriate medication from the veterinarian. Fleas are small, wingless parasites that feed on blood and, in feeding, cause intense irritation and inflammation to the pet by constant biting and the secretion of a toxic, allergenic saliva. In a hypersensitive pet, flea bites produce intense itching. The pet becomes restless and bites and scratches to relieve the irritation. By doing so, an acute "hot spot" or chronic skin inflammation can be produced about the rump or thigh. Secondary infections are commonplace and this self- inflicted trauma often leads .to a vicious cycle of constant it­ ching and scratching. A careful examination of your pet will reveal the fleas ir his hair. Fleas can be found in" greatest numbers around the head, the rump and the base of the tail. To control fleas, both the pet and his environment must be treated. Commercial powders or spray insecticides will remove fleas from your pet's body. The application of an an­ tipruritic ointment to treat those itching hot spots and to help avoid secondary infection and oral administration of a sedative should relieve much of his discomfort. Although you may be able to completely remove fleas and ticks from your pet's body, he can become reinfested within a few weeks if outside breeding {daces are not controlled. In severe cases, your pet's old bedding should be discarded and the surrounding area should be sprayed with a disinfectant. Other areas where your pet spends considerable time should be treated similarly. There are preventive measures you can take to control flea and tick problems: - Provide your pet with a clean, dry environment. - Give him several thorough examinations prior to the flea and tick season. - Take immediate corrective steps when you observe the st sign of irritation.' extreme situations when „ pet becomes overwrought by itching, scratching and numerous infections, I recommend that you take him immediately to a veterinarian for concentrated professional treatment. Dr. Minor regrets that he is unable to personally answer letters from pet owners. He recommends that readers consult their own veterinarians when their pets have problems. i The re're times when the price to be paid for making money isn't worth it TO PROTECT WILDLIFE Effective Jan. 1, the sale, possession or gift of aqy part of the bodies of specified animals will be banned without permits issued by the conservation department. Permits may be issued for zoological, educational or scientific pur­ pose, and for possession of banned objects prim- to that date. The new legislation provides for penalties of from $100 to $1,000 or up to a year in jail for violations. It also creates a board of six naturalists, three persons in the fur industry including one representing labor, and the state conservation director to add species to the endangered list. The Illinois Endangered Species Act, designed to preserve our natural heritage, and make federal laws en­ forceable, now lists endangered species as leopard, snow leopard, clouded leopard, tiger, cheetah, alligator, caiman, crocodile and other members of the order Corocodylia, vicuna, red wolf, gray wolf, polar bear, mountain lion or cougar, jaguar, ocelot, margay, desert kit fox, kit or swift fox, Pacific Ridley turtle or warana, and green turtle. Registration! There are about 110 million motor vehicles registered in this country at the present time. Nearly one out of five new cars purchased in 1970 was an import. WEIGHT LIMITS Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie has vetoed a bill that would have permitted substantially in­ creased truck weight limits on Illinois roads. Declaring the measure totally unsuitable, the governor said the proposed increases would not apply to our most durable and modern highways--those in the federal interstate system; that the bill would have permitted loads far in excess of those recom­ mended by the American Association of State Highway Officials, and that local of­ ficials in cities of 50,000 or more population would be permitted to authorize the increased load limits. NEW LEGISLATION Special help to school districts with fewer pupils in attendance than last year is provided by legislation ap­ proved by Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie. Downstate schools will receive an additional $4 million and Chicago schools, an ad­ ditional $2 million, according to budget estimators. State aid will be distributed on the basis of the 1970-71 average daily attendance if that exceeds the current figure. The law does not apply where attendance has dropped because of district reorganization. GET TOMORROW'S SOUNDS TODAY!
