Shay, director, McHenry County Civil Defense, announced the graduation of twelve volunteers of the Civil Defense Auxiliary Police course. It was conducted under the authority of McHenry County Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell, and with the direct supervision of Captain Robert Crabtree. The Auxiliary police received instruction in Traffic and Crowd Control, Protection of Property, Communications, Radiation Hazards, Press Relations, Criminal Law, County Geography, and Tornado Spotting. The 20-hour course was taught over a five- week period. The Auxiliary police are always under the direct control of the chief law enforcement officer of the jurisdiction where they are called. They have been trained primarily to assist the police in disasters. However, they will be used in other emergencies or wherever needed. They volunteer their time, and buy their own uniforms and equipment. This brings the personnel complement to thirty-eight. In the past, the volunteers have assisted the McHenry county Sheriff's department, and the Algonquin and the McHenry Police departments for various civic events including the McHenry County Fair, McHenry VFW and American Legion carnivals, Algonquin Founder's day, and the Wonder Lake Ski show. The par­ ticipation at these events enable the volunteers to obtain actual field training. Anyone interested in ob­ taining additional information may contact the McHenry County Civil Defense office in Woodstock. In session last week, the McHenry County board passed an ordinance to adopt the policy that the basis for the appraisal value of livestock or poultry killed or injured in the county by dogs will reflect the reasonable market value of the livestock or poultry at the time losses were sustained. Maximum amounts were listed as follows: Cattle, $250 per head; horses, $175; goats, $25; turkeys, $5; swine, $40; sheep, $30; geese, $5, and other poultry and commercial rabbits, $2.50. An increase of 50 per cent is allowed for animals for which a certificate of registry can be presented. A report of the County Liquor and License committee was distributed. This includes the granting of fifty-six Class A licenses, fifty-five Class AA licenses, two Class B licenses, five Class BB licenses, one Class A-Aux license and one Class AA-Aux license for a tot&l' fee of $97,180.

Homemaker Aspaidgus, which is the fifth most popular vegetable in the United States, is a member of the lily-of-the-valley family. The name comes from a Greek word meaning "stalk" or "shoot". It probably was a native to the eastern Mediterranean lands and Asia Minor where it still grows wild. Thomas Jefferson grew asparagus in his greenhouses at Monticello. Not all asparagus is green. In some areas blanched or white varieties, which are somewhat milder, are popular. Asparagus is good hot, cold, lukewarm, pickled, in sauces, aspics, or with salad dressing. Asparagus has a tender stalk that punc­ tures easily. The best quality tips should be tightly closed. Spreading tips indicate over maturity, This vegetable is sold your week ahead BY DR A W DAMIS ARIES Mar. 21-Apr. 19 TAURUS Apr. 20-M ay 20 GEMINI May 21-June 20 MOONCHILD June 21-July22 LEO July 23-Aug. 22 VIRGO Aug. 23-Sept. 22 LIBRA Sept. 23-Oct. 22 SCORPIO Oct. 23-Nov. 21 SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22-Dec. 21 CAPRICORN Dec. 22-Jan. 19 AQUARIUS Jan. 20-Feb. 18 PISCES Feb. 19-Mar. 20 Forecast Period: May 25 to May 31 Your emotional reaction to a romantic situation should be highly favorable.

For And About Teenagers KNOW HOW THIS WEEK'S LETTER: I'm writing to ask wha^ to do when you're 17, pregnant, in love, but unwed. I'm engaged to a very nice guy who is the father of the child I'm carrying I have one big problem. I don't know how to tell him I'm pregnant I'm afraid of losing him. I want the child and I'm afraid he'll want me to have an abortion. I don't believe in abortion. That's killing a helpless person. What do you think I should do? OUR REPLY: It sounds as if you've already made up your mind. If you don't believe in abor­ tion, don't have one. Have your child. The only way you can find out how the father feels is to com­ municate to him that you're preg­ nant. He has a right to know so don't keep it from him. He also has a right to his own views on the issue of abortion. Until you're cer­ tain what those views are don't assume anything. Once you've found out then the two of you can share the responsibility of making the decision that works. tecavM of tK« volume of to Hill column, r*qu*»t« fof p«f»oool ropliot cannol bo accommodated Editorial ponol Mlocti for woofcly v», lottor which b»*t ropmonti question! and/or commenti from reoderv FOR AND ABOUT TEENAGERS.
