ACQUIRE GIFT - Miss Dixie Welter, pharmacist technician, left, and Mrs. Bendy Mohr, R.H., right, nicuss aspects of the unit dose system of drug administration with Mrs. Therese Van Buren, fomwing the auxiliary (o McHenry hospital's gift of this equipment to McHenry hospital. Gift is part of the eqniQment made possible with a 1971-72 auxiliary gift of $15,210. (DON PEASLEY PHOTO), Fourth piece of equipment purchased from a $15,210 contribution to McHenry hospital by the auxiliary consists of the cabinet and facilities required to ad­ minister the unit dose dispensing system, Mrs. John Kelsey, auxiliary president, has reported. Purchased earlier with this $15,210 gift were a controlled volume ventilator (machine to control patient breathing), an aquamatic K-thermia unit (designed to lower or raise a patient's temperature) and a nursery coronary monitoring unit. The unit dose system of drug dispensing was instituted after McHenry hospital conducted extensive experiments and studies in conjunction with the University of Iowa pharmacy department. The single dose, single package concept provides greater efficiency in drug dispensing and a tighter rein on costs. Anthony Corcoran, ad­ ministrator at McHenry hospital, summarizes the benefits of drug distribution program as convenience, ac­ curacy, safety, accountability and economy in drug ad­ ministration. Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 728-0267 Fortunate Five Return Home From Hawaii Aloha! Today we bring you the story of five lucky people from Wonder Lake who not long ago spent two weeks in the land of sunshine (remember what that is?), sparkling wa­ ters, pineapple and Mai Tais - Hawaii. The for­ tunate five are Vi and Gene Kelly, Elsie and Al Grodek and Lorraine Murphy. Travel they did - to four of the Hawaiian Islands, Hilo, Maui, Kauai and Oahu. While they described Waikiki as a concrete jungle, they found a slower way of life on the island of Maui, much less commercialized. They took many bus trips and some of the points of interest were Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Culture center which shows (lie way of life in the islands. The center is sponsored by a Mormon group, with students from the University of Hawaii par­ ticipating. One of the Hawaiian foods they sampled was Mei Mei fish, or Hawaiian dolphin - a delicacy. The flowers on the islands were beautiful. The state flower is the hibiscus and hydrangeas grow there bigger than footballs. We asked Lorraine Murphy what the best part of the trip was and her answer was a classical one, "Just getting away!" TAG DAY Saturday, Oct. 21, was a rainy, bone chilling day. But rain and wind and cold didn't stop the Wonder Lake residents from their usual generous cooperation in assisting the youth of our area. Mothers of Brownies and Girl Scouts carried on with their annual tag day in spite of the inclement weather* and succeeded in collecting $2% - only $4 short of their $300 quota. Mary Lou Cope Neighborhood chairman, the mothers and the Scouts are most grateful to all the big hearted people who rolled down their car windows and dug into their pockets and purses and made an otherwise gloomy day a very bright one for our Scouts. ANNOUNCE BIRTH Mr. and Mrs. Don Holt an­ nounce the birth of a daughter, Tara Lynn, who was born Oct. 10, in McHenry hospital. Tara weighed 5 lbs., 15 ozs., at birth and has a sister, Tina, 16, and three brothers, David, 13, Michael, 9, and Timmy, 2. Maternal grandmother is Harriet Bell, Wonder Lake, and paternal grandmother is Virginia Holt of Aurora. Congratulations to Don and Carol on the birth of little Tara and we'd like to wish them much luck and happiness in their new home in Phoenix, Arizona. BAND BENEFIT The Harrison Band Parents association sponsored a lun- ljr*nr> and handmade fashion §n8W Pn Monday, Oct. 23 at the McHenry Country club, with the seventy-seven different items of dresses, pant suits, coats and etc., being made and modeled by the participants. Mrs. Robert Anderson was the commentator. She and her co- chairman of the Band Parents Ways and Means committee, Mrs. Eugene Matesi, were the originators and driving force behind this very fashionable fashion and luncheon show. The models ranged in ages from grade school children up to grandmothers. Many different ideas were shown and it was hard to believe that these were all sewn at home. The show opened with a modeling of a leopard-skin robe (fake, of course) and the final model was an old-fashioned country wedding scene. Band parents, band students, faculty from Harrison and friends of the band were the models, namely, Laura Bell, Kathy Matesi, Vicki Matesi, Missy Matesi, Dorothy Bazan, Jerri Mikus, Minnie Darr, Lynn Lef, Gladi Bowers, Donna Carr, Julie Coughlin, Phyllis Odeen, Rhonda Quick, Kay Darby, Mary Jane Ahern, Kathleen Ahem, Eileen Ahern, Lori Massaro, DeeDee Massaro, Susie Massaro and Angela Anderson. Appropriate musical selections accompanied the models with the expert fingers of Millie O'Brien at the piano. Prizes highlighted the day. All proceeds from this luncheon and fashion show go to benefit the Harrison School band.

Not a mackerel, coho or trout, this FISH is a community group ready to render a helping hand whenever a neighbor calls for help. The FISH name and symbol come from the ancient Greek symbol used by Christians during pagan per­ secutions. The symbol in­ dicated a friendly dwelling where food and lodging were available for fellow Christians. Today members of all faiths belong to THE FISH. It is not sponsored by any one church group. Much needed services in the Wonder Lake area which THE FISH will provide include: transportation, especially for the ill or elderly; babysitting, child care or meal preparation in situations of emergency; companionship for the elderly or lonely; teenage listening post; housework for the sick; locate needed articles, such as clothing, sickroom or baby equipment; read to the blind; referral service when professional help is needed; listening post for those who are troubled or justf lonely. Members of the community needing help dall the FISH telephone number - a 24 hour answering service - that puts the caller in touch with a FISH member. On Sunday afternoon, Nov. 12 at 2 p.m. and on Monday evening, Nov. 13 at 8 p.m., a You And Your Pet By Raymond A. Minor, D.V.M. Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories Superstitions are hard to overcome, whether they refer to stepping on cracks in the sidewalk or feeding your dog. One of the most common of the dog feeding fallacies is that "milk makes worms." This would be true only in the unlikely event that there are worm eggs in the milk you feed your dog. Another old wives' tale is that onions cure worms. Worms are only eliminated through medicine, even if the odor from the medicine is not as strong as the onion's. Still another common and incorrect belief is that dogs cannot digest potatoes. This has been disproved by scien­ tific tests. As to the right way to feed your dog, the most important objective should be a balanced diet. And because most im­ portant food substances are not stored in a dog's body for any extended length of time, the proper nutritional balance must be maintained at every meal. One way to ensure main­ tenance of that proper balance is to serve your dog ready-to- eat food produced by a reputable manufacturer. Your veterinarian can suggest possibilities. There are three basic types of dog food: dry, moist and canned. Many people think that the dry foods are cereal and the canned foods are meat. But this is not the case. Canned products that are completely meat are not "dog food," in the sense that they do not provide a complete diet. One way to tell whether you are feeding too much is to watch the dog as it eats. If it leaves the dish while there is still food in it, or if it stops eating to gaze off into space, the chances are you are feeding too much. A good rule is to let your dog eat for 30 minutes and then pick up the dish and dispose of the uneaten portion. Feed it less the next day. Most grown dogs require only one meal a day. If they are fed twice a day they will eat more than they require. The extra food will only lead to extra expense for you or unnecessary fat or extra waste matter for your dog. Between meal snacks merely spoil a dog's appetite. This will also tend to make a pesky beggar of your pet. In the case of newborn pups where the mother is unable to do the feeding, the following formula can be given from a baby bottle: 1 pint homogenized milk, 2 teaspoons cooking oil and 2 egg yolks. Feed every two hours when first bom and then gradually space out feedings to every four hours at about two weeks of age. Supplement with cereal, cooked egg and scraped meat as soon as the puppy can lap solid foods. A normally healthy dog has a good appetite, is active and has a well formed bowel movement. If his appetite fails or his bowel movement is not well formed over a period of 24 hours, consult immediately with your veterinarian. As for care of dog food, the rules of human consumption should be followed. Frozen food should be used soon after thawing. Milk should be kept refrigerated. Unused canned food should be kept refrigerated in a jar or plastic container, (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.)

PAGE3-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1972 rAfflf -s1' C\ \ "T *nu3>7 1-S°SC" erf Ask IRS, This column of questions and answers on federal tax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q) I am planning to attend a convention sponsored by my employer. Can I deduct travel expenses to and from the con­ vention? A) You may deduct the un­ reimbursed travel expenses, including the cost of meals and lodging, you incur in at­ tending a convention, but only if you can show that your at­ tendance benefits or advances the interest of your own em­ ployment" or business. The agenda of the convention need not deal specifically with your official duties. It is sufficient if the agenda is so related to your duties and responsibil­ ities that attendance for a business purpose is indicated. If your wife accompanies you to the business convention, that portion of the expenses at­ tributable to her travel, meals, and lodging are not deductible, unless you can establish a bona fide business purpose for her presence. Incidental serv­ ices, such as typing notes, as­ sisting in entertaining cus­ tomers, etc., are not sufficient to warrant the deduction. Q) Several of my friends and I are setting up an investment club as a partnership. How will we be taxed on partnership earnings? A) A partner must include as income on Schedule E of .Form 1040 his distributive (as defined in the part- ;ship agreement) of all partnership earnings, gains, losses, deductions or credits, regardless of his actual with- drawjHs-^The partnership, al­ though it\ pays no tax, must file an apnual information re­ turns-Form 1065. This shows the results of the partner­ ship's operations for its tax year and the items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit affecting'its partners' individ­ ual income tax returns. For more information on investment clubs established as partnerships, see IRS Pub­ lication 550, "Tax Informa­ tion on Investment Income and Expenses." It's available free by dropping a postcard to your Internal Revenue district office. Q) My son is paying his own college tuition this year. Will this have any effect on whether or not I can claim his as a de­ pendent? A) Yes. Payments for edu­ cational expenses are counted in determining total support. If you and your son furnish his total support for the year and your son spent more on support items, such as food, shelter, clothing, education, etc., than • you spent for his support, you will not be able to claim him as a dependent. Q) Is it possible for me to reduce the amount of tax with­ held from my pay? A) Yes. This is done by fil­ ing a new W-4 form with your employer, claiming all the exemptions to which you are entitled. In addition, you may also qualify to claim the new special withholding allowance. For details, see your employer or call your local IRS office.
