t.l HELPING PAWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P. O. Box 205 • Crystal Lake, lllinoi* 60014 • (815)459-2641 i by Estolle Atwell This young Brittany Spaniel male to under 1 year old. Could be trained for hunting and would make a fine pet At the County Shelter, 11606 Banford road, Woodstock, open 9 to 5 daily. Phone 338-7040. Some straight facts haye to be presented. As the population of our county grows and the number of people bringing in pets increases, the animal welfare agencies within our county are overflowing with unwanted animals. The figures on this don't remain static; they grow continuously . These animals come from many sources - people who no longer can or will keep a pet, strays, lost and abandoned dogs and cats. To solve the problem welfare agencies try to relocate animals into new hotnes, reunite lost pets with rightful owners, and board others found to be ill and abandoned. But we have run out of homes, run out of space and facilities to accommodate them. These are the problems. What are the solutions? We -toose- to-find a- place lor- an animal shelter in our oounty. At present we have omy the Animal Control center in Woodstock, which is supported by tax dollars and has very limited facilities for cats - if they are kept at all. They do adopt out animals when they can. However, not being open Saturdays or evenings, many who want pets cannot get there when they are open and so many good homes are lost. At present they are so full there is indeed no more room at the inn. As for cats, if it weren't for the South Elgin shelter and the spendid cooperation given us by 'their director, Dave Patterson, they all would meet untimely ends. When we find strays we take them to South Elgin where they stand some chance at least of being adopted. It is a sorry situation when, our county cannot provide care for our own. With winter approaching some positive action is required, and soon. We are looking for land on which to build a shelter and make a desperate plea to all to keep your eyes open for land suitable for use by a Humane Society, either B-3 zoning or farm zoning. A shelter must be at least 1,000 feet away from neighbors and We are looking for a farmer who might have some unused land he would sell or lease us. Naturally, Humane societies have little money and in our case we are supported entirely by contributions. Keep this in mind when you look. Helping Paws needs your i | - » : help right now. Ask your friends and neighbors if they know of anyone who might help. The tragedies that befall unwanted pets are too numerous to mention and unpleasant, as well. Please contact Ron Nelson at 312-658- 7221 if you have either suatafttons or information. You will be lending a helping hand.in the fight to save their Uvet.

CONSUMER SIDELINES Payments For School Lunch, Breakfast SECTION 1 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JULY I. Stat* fair Will Host Professional A r t S h o w A u g . 1 1 - 2 1 • hm Mm In* Carol Tucker Foreman, assistant secretary of ( Agriculture for Food and Consumer Services, has an­ nounced that the school lunch, breakfast, and child care programs will receive in- , creased payments adjusted to reflect the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) < series for food away from » home. The adjustments, effective ' July 1, reflect the 4.9 percent increase in the CPI for the six- month period, November, 1976, . to May, 1977. The increased payments paid to schools and institutions through state agencies help defray meal preparation costs in the national school lunch, school breakfast, and child care food programs. The national average payment for the school lunch program Will be increased from 13.25 cents to 14 cents for each ' lunch served. Within that average, states are authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to vary the rate of reimbursement up to a maximum of 20 cents per lunch. The additional average payment for lunches served to needy children will be in­ creased from 50 cents to 53 cents for a reduced-price lunch and from 60 cents to 63 cents for a free lunch. The maximum total reimbursement states may pay schools and in­ stitutions has been increased from 78.25 cents to 82 cents for a reduced-price lunch and from 88.25 cents to 92 cents for a free Under the school breakfast program, the national average payment will be increased from 10.75 cents to 11.25 cento for each breakfast served. The additional average payment for each reduced-price breakfast will be increased from 20 cents to 2i cents. The additional average payment for a free breakfast will be increased from 26.75 cents to 28 cents. Maximum rates of reim­ bursement states may pay especially needy schools and institutions Vill remain, at 40 cents for each reduced-price breakfast and at 45 cents for each free breakfast served. Under the child care food program, states will receive the same payments for break­ fasts as those for the school breakfast program, and the same payments for lunches and suppers as those for the national school lunch program. Payments for each mid- morning and mid-afternoon snack allowed under the child care food program have been increased from 5.50 cents to •'5.75 cents. The additional average payments for reduced- price snacks under this , program will increase from 16.50 cents to 17.25 cents. In lieu of maintaining records on the actual cost of food used, sponsors of family and group day care homes in the child care food program may use a food cost factor of 44.25 cento for each lunch or supper, 24.75 cento for each breakfast, and 15 cents for each supplement served. These factors are also adjusted semi-annually to reflect changes in the CPI. Auto Se rv i ce T ips Cam m •• • M aVffvJ e MMV| wwT frM fee fare repfaceawef fee MM eke as ffee jpeor car* Associativa.
