Rain is absorbed by the earth, thereby sustaining all of life - vegetable, animal and human. Out of respect for column space, let s look at a complicated life process in very simple terms Vegetables are eaten by some animals, which in turn are eaten by other animals. Most humans eat both Golden Retriever-Yellow Lab mix. 10 months, neutered, all shots, housebroken. He is very friendly and good with children. vegetables and animals. This is £sfact of life Humans through centuries of trying to become civilized have not only domesticated certain animals, but have made pets and companions out of them. Most humans would find it revolting to eat a pet companion cat or dog. Yet every single year, even in the most civilized country, there are great numbers of kittens and puppies born who absolutely no one needs or wants. We are revolted by the thought of eating them We are revolted by the thought of wearing their fur Yet we continue to produce <Uem. Some people have found various solutions to the problem of an unwanted litter. They dump them on the roadside, hoping they'll die or disappear on their own. They dump them on their neighbor, hoping that the neighbor will take responsibility for their neglect These same people would not think of dumping their garbage on the roadside or in their neighbor's yard. Another popular solution is to give the entire litter or what's left of it to the pound or humane society in the false hope that they will find a good home. The buck stops there. There are no homes available, much less good ones. Most people are appalled to hear that pounds and humane socieities are forced to destroy up to eighty percent of the animals turned in to them. "We called you because we want you to find a good home. We do not want the animal put to sleep." is heard every day When we slaughter livestock for food, the death of that animal served to sustain our life. When we kill puppies and kittens who have not even had a chance at life, what purpose does their death serve? Man has even invented some ingenious contraptions to facilitate the destruction of these little creatures. Gas chambers and decompression chambers are still being used. The other "humane"' method is to inject an overdose of bar- bituates into the heart of little kittens and puppies. Anyone who thinks that spaying and neutering is against nature should stand and watch these three marvelous methods of ' euthanasia". Maybe they, too, would find it difficult not to get sick to their stomachs. Perhaps the best method SaMIIlM! with...

'A K Woodstock Will Host Three-Day Celebration Mai Person Can Do Getting Old You're getting old when you don't care where your wife goes, just so you don't have to go along FREE L A Y - A W A Y What was origninally con­ ceived as an old fashioned one- day July 4 celebration in the Woodstock city park has, in five years, experienced such phenomenal growth and public acceptance that today it is a gala three-day event hosting thousands of people. This year's celebration begins at 12 noon Saturday, July 2. Sunday, July 3, and Monday, July 4, the park will open at 10 a.m. A carnival, softball tournaments, hor- sehsoe tournaments, food and refreshment stands and a variety of "specialty" booths will be active during the three- day celebration. July 4 at_7 p.m. the Royal Chicago Scouts will present a program of marching music which will be coordinated with the retreat of the flag at dusk and the beginning of an out­ standing fireworks display. Ralph Obenauf, chairman of the Woodstock Fourth of July Fair association said the finale of Monday's one and one-half hour firework display will contain over 1,600 aerials. There will also be a firework display Sunday evening at 9:30 p.m. There is a one-time per car fee for entering the park for the three-day celebration. There's such a thing as being too clever.

Dick, at right, is shown here being congratulated by Nick Saldana center, plant Manager at Modine since November, 1961. During his fifteen years at Modine, J.C. was active in a variety of local organizations. He was instrumental in the establishment of the McHenry County Personnel group, and was also active in the McHenry County Manufacturers association. Taking over as personnel manager at Modine will be Larry Reese, at left. It was william Goddard who conceived the idea of the colony post riders to replace the British-controlled mail system. Congress liked William's idea, but not him. Benjamin Franklin was named post-' master general in 1775. William was made surveyor (traveling inspector) of the new system, until he quarrelled with Frankin a year later and was fired. Franklin appointed Mary Goddard as postmistress of Baltimore, a post which it was common for newspaper publishers to hold. Miss Goddard ran the printshop and the "Journal" until 1784, when her brother forced her to sell out her in­ terest. The terms were so unfair that she left the printing business and refused to have anything to do with him from then on. She lost her postal position in 1789 in a political maneuver. Mary Catherine Goddard died in 1816, alone and forgotten. But she made her mark: The Declaration of Independence bears her name as printer. At a crucial time in the history of this nation, she contributed her talent. One person, she made a difference.

MARY KATHERINE GODDARD PRINTER The job of printing the official Declaration of Independence in 1777 went to a woman - Mary Katherine Goddard. Here's how it happened. Congress approved the Declaration on July 4,1776. But they did not print the official version bearing the authen­ ticated names of the signers until the following January. At that point, they were in Baltimore, having fled Philadelphia to escape the British army. Mary Goddard, publisher of the "Maryland Journal," was asked to print the document. Mary Goddard was running the paper originally founded by her brilliant but quarrelsome brother, William.

More than 630 Illinois people are injured each year while riding on farm and garden equipment. Most of those in­ jured are under 15 years of age and many were small children 'just riding along'. 4-H members are contacting owners of motorized riding equipment stressing safety in the use of the machines. Stickers stating "One Driver- No Rider" are being placed in prominent areas as a reminder. Some McHenry business men selling lawn and garden equipment have aided 4-Hers by placing these stickers on newly purchased machiens. If you own any type of motorized lawn or garden machines, be safe rather than sorry; say no to the young child pleading to ride. If you are baby sitting a young child, tend to the child; do not try to cut the grass at the same time. Do not allow two young children to ride together to have fun or keep one another company. Local 4-Hers working on this program to aid in eliminating these severe accidents are Val Stade and Lee Tomlinson of the Busy Three 4-H club. Do your part by following the rules. One Driver - No Rider.
