A lengthy discussion took place concerning our relationship with the Animal Control center in Woodstock. Because serious differences in humane philosophy have arisen, a special committee was named to resolve these differences. Don Kaiser of the Fox Valley Humane Education society reported On his findings regarding the acquisition of land for a Cooperative Humane Society shelter in McHenry county. There was much en­ thusiasm expressed over his findings, the result of many long hours of hard work spent on this project. A parcel of land has been found that meets all requirements-zoning, acreage, drainage and sewage. Since this is a matter of as much importance to concerned citizens and pet owners of McHenry County as it is to Helping Paws, we have set up a special fund for the establish­ ment of this shelter.

Pat Floeter, chemist for the McHenry County Health department, discussed water quality with the group and gave them testing equipment to use throughout the summer program to monitor the water quality. Bob Layer from the McHenry County Planning commission explained land use maps and soil types. . The group is also working very closely with Harvey Brown, Illinois Department of Conservation fish biologist. Brown has explained the methods for rehabilitating the stream and has checked on the progress of the work. It is hoped that the stream which now supports many fish will become an environment in which brown trout will spawn. In addition to stream rehabilitation, the YCC group has laid out approximately three miles of trails through the tall grasses and willow thickets. Receiving a great deal of cooperation from the regular Held staff of the Conservation district, these trails were cut by the staff with the Conservation District's machinery.

It is a true story filmed in Holland and other European locations, based on the experiences of Corrie ten Boom, who with her family provided refuge for countless Jewish families. one mile of these trails is a nature trail for which the YCC'ers are compiling an interpretive guide. The members of the YCC program hope that this area, which is reminiscent of early Illinois prairies, can be preserved and conserved for future generations. They hope the people coming into the area will be courteous and respectful and not destroy the natural beauty of the land. According to Kenneth Bliss, director of distribution for the film company, the film "offers a great lesson in the per­ severance of a personal faith in a very dark and trying period of world history." The Reverend M.E. Werry, pastor of First Baptist church, stresses that the showing of "Corrie" is open to the public free of charge. "We encourage families to plan to attend together, for what we believe will be a memorable ex­ perience," he concluded.
