With funds at its disposal Helping Paws provides for the im­ mediate care of stray animals. Funds over and above those needed for day to day operation of the organization (food and supply bills, rent, telephones, office supplies, cost of boarding and medical bills), go into the Helping Paws fund for spaying and neutering. Money is raised in several ways -- membership dues, donations, tag days, an annual appeal letter are some. A helping boost to the exchequer comes from members who save and send in the tiny weight circles cut from bags of dry dog food. And we hope the general readership will join in this effort to increase our buying power for dog food. This is how it works. There is a small circle on the bag and in the circle is a figure denoting the weight content. When Helping Paws has sufficient circles to qualify for redemp­ tion, these are sent to the m a n u f a c t u r e r . T h e manufacturer redeems them, sometimes for cash or with an equivalent credit slip good for the purchase of dog food. If you want to help in this way, save the weight circles and then forward them to Helping Paw, P.O. Box 215, Crystal Lake, 60014. Sometimes leashes and collars have to be provided for the strays. And the funds are tapped for this. We can use any leashes, collars or choke chains you no longer need. Just turn them over to the Helping Paws volunteer on duty at the County Animal Control center, 11608 Banford road, Woodstock. Or, if this is not convenient, call the Helping Paws office, open 10 to noon and 1 to 3 daily, phone 459- 2641, and some other arrangement can be made.

These energetic young dancers will bring all the light-hearted gaiety of a festival weekend to their "Americana" production, and urge the public to join the fun of Banjo Beer night in the city park Saturday, July 31. questnnson noun family's moue... by Alice Bowman Allied Van Lines Home Moving Consultant Dear Miss Bowman: Can you give me some pointers on safely transporting house- plants in a long distance move? Also, can my plants travel in the moving van? Mr. S. F., Atlanta, Georgia. Answer: Yes, your plants can travel in the van. How­ ever, you must pack them yourself, and, of course, your mover cannot guarantee their survival. Here are some tips on pre­ paring your plants for the move. Water them thoroughly just before packing, and trim off any buds or blooms. Wrap small plants individually, and Neutered, declawed, 6>2 years, white collar. 675-2730.

And, at the County shelter, 11608 Banford road, Woodstock, there are many worthy animals for adoption - various breeds, ages and sizes. They are open 9 to 5 daily and Saturdays from 10 to noon. Phone 338-7040, then box several together, us­ ing plenty of packing mater­ ials. In the summer, use only paper for wrapping plants; plastic bags can "cook" your plants. Large plants require extra packing and individual boxes. Clearly mark each car­ ton "this side up" and "plants." A word of caution -- if your plants must spend several days on the road in either very hot or very cold weather, the risk of loss is high. And if you are moving to California, leave your plants behind; only root- iess cuttings may enter the state. Dear Miss Bowman: Because of a job transfer, my family and I must relocate this sum­ mer. How many more moves take place in the summer than in the rest of the year? What suggestions do you have for making a successful move dur­ ing this busy season? Mrs. M. H., Boston, Massachusetts. Answer: Approximately 60 percent of the 43 million Americans who relocate each year move during June, July and August. The key to a suc­ cessful summer move is plan­ ning ahead and flexibility as an extraordinarily heavy de­ mand is placed on the nation's professional movers at this time. The more advance notice you can give your carrier, the better the chances of having the move scheduled on your preferred dales. 4 Flu Viruses { Flu viruses weren't discovered until the 1930's. Antibiotics, effec­ tive against bacteria, cannot stop the viruses that cause flu In­ stead. vaccines are needed Viruses modify their chemical makeups, though, requiring new and different vaccines periodi­ cally. SENIOR CITIZEN'S CORNER HELPFUL IDEAS FOR SUCCESSFUL RETIREMENT Aging Facts It's true that people who are the most successful, who dis­ tinguish themselves in their profession or occupation, aver­ age significantly longer lives than others. Other research, con­ ducted at the Center for the Study of Aging and Human Develop­ ment, Duke University Medical Center, shows that the happier your marriage is. the more birth­ days you're likely to celebrate; that marriages that are stable and remain intact are definitely related to longevity. A National Institute of Health Study con­ cluded that the longer-lived group whose lives were followed over a 12-year period were much more socially active than others and showed no tapering off of their various outside interests or their contacts with others. In­ vestigations have also shown that people who stay young the longest, and celebrate the most birthdays, have the following in common: a positive rather than a negative outlook, a capacity to enjoy life, and the ability to count their blessings rather than brood over disappointments and frus­ trations Human Carbon Scientists say that the human body contains enough carbon to make more than 14,000 pencils and enough lime to paint an en­ tire barn white n 1 F A R M : : I T A T I f A R I T A T I F A R M I N J U R A N C I V I N t U R A N C I I N S U R A N C f N S U R A N C I S T A T I F A R M I N S U R A N C I S mil d S T A T I F A R M S T A T I F A R M I N S U R A N C I /*" S T A T I F A R M I N S U R A N C I S T A T I F A R M N S U R A N C I S T A T I F A R M JBL wp I N S U R A N C I f 1 > S T A T I U I M jau w I N S U R A N C I unit- insurance for Condominium 'SnH •" Owners policy protects condominium p%sarPa:oP^yperd _ A /pworopersonal liability.

(DON PEASLfcY PHOTOGRAPHY) Nature Area Prbperty Option Is Purchased Option on an 18-acre parcel of land located south of the village of McHenry Shores, west of McHenry Dam State park, was purchased recently by the McHenry County Conservation district trustees. The property, on which there was a 120-day option, was held in trust as a nature area. The option was purchased for $1,500. Total price of the land is estimated to be $85,000, but a gift of $36,000 of the value was offered by the trust, held at the Marengo State bank. Identification of the beneficiaries of the trust was not made known, but will be disclosed in further proceedings. Possible use of the property will be for a wildlife rehabilitation center because of buildings located there, ac­ cording to one district trustee. A final decision is awaited. The board also approved an option to buy a 40-acre parcel adjoining the Rush Creek conservation area at Burrows Woods from Jerome Weidner. The state has appraised the land at $2,200 an acre.
