P£r^tL/v4yp Y O U R P E R S O N A L Steel Shot For 12 Gauge Only This Fall Waterfowl hunters who use shotguns bored larger or smaller thqn 12-gauge are exempt from mandatory use of steel shot this fall, according to J final rulemaking by the In­ terior Department's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. | ? The steel loads will be ^mandatory for 12-gauge in ,areas designated for non-toxic shot. But guns with larger or smaller bores are not affected by the rulemaking, published in the August 2, 1977, Federal Register. s Steel shot is the only ap­ proved non-toxic shot and it has been manufactured in 12-gauge only. Therefore the Service has decided that in the waterfowl hunting season beginning in the fall of 1977, shells other than 12- gauge loaded with lead or other metals can be used to hunt waterfowl in steel shot zones. The rule permits use of toxic shot for the 10-gauge as well as all other gauges except 12- gauge. Approximately 85 percent of all waterfowl hunters use the 12-gauge shotgun. The ruling states that the hunter who is taking waterfowl in a designated steel shot zone with 12-gauge shells loaded with toxic shot in his possession will be in violation of the regulation. Waterfowl' hunters possessing these loads in other gauges will not be in violation. The Service points out that this exemption for gauges that have not been manufactured in steel shot will be reviewed again prior to the 1978 hunting season to determine whether it should be continued for that season. The Service has proposed that in the fall of 1979 no further exceptions be made based on gauge. These ex­ ceptions lessen the ef­ fectiveness of efforts to reduce lead poisoning among water­ fowl using the zones. rBASEBAir'i TRAVELING The Johnsburg Blue Jays traveled to Lake Villa to play the Lake Villa-Grayslake All- Stars and lost a 4-1 contest. After taking a 1-0 lead in the first inning the Blue Jays were held scoreless the rest of the way against six pitchers. The All-Stars scored three runs in the second on a double by Jorgenson, two walks and two errors. They added a run in the sixth on a double by Gerretson. Meyers, Bentz, Selof, Thiel and Covalt had hits for the Blue Jays. Covalt struck out eight, but was the losing pitcher.

So are several million other American families at this time of year. The American Medical associaiton cautions that if you're headed for some really high mountains -- above 7,000 feet - it would be wise to make the change gradually if you wish 'to avoid high altitude sickness. Anyone who has made a trip to Mexico City can tell you of his troubles in this respect. Try, if you can, to make the ascent over a span of days so that your body can adjust to the oxygen-poor thin air at higher elevations. Symptoms of high altitude sickness are drowsiness; headache; blueness of the nails, lips, nose and ears; a feeling of warmth and flushing of the face soon after arrival; troubled sleep; irritability, and shortness of breath. If you must make the trip quickly by plane, before the trip get a good night's rest and avoid alcoholic beverages and heavy smoking. A good break­ fast an hour or so before departure is all right, but no food should be taken during the rest of the climb. Reduce physical activity during the trip. Sit quietly as much as possible. After arrival in the high altitude area, go to bed for a few hours and eat yery lightly. Indulge in only light physical activity during the first twenty- four hours. Walk, don't run, if you have to climb steps to a hotel or lodge. Patients with certain heart and respiratory conditions may encounter more serious discomfort by abrupt changes to high altitudes. However, physicians have noted that most patients with cardiac or pulmonary disease who can move around and engage in ' moderate activity at sea level most often can tolerate altitudes of 7,000 to 8,000 feet without serious effects. . If you have doubts as to whether you or someone in your family may suffer from a trip to the high mountains, consult your physician in advance. FoodDoUar Farmers in the United States get about 40 cents of the con­ sumer's food dollar. Northland Art League Work Seen In Annual Fair Members of the Northland Art league will give demon­ strations of fiber art, leatherwork, watercolor, jewelry making and pottery throwing at the fourth annual art fair, Aug. 20-21 at Trumbel Pottery, George street, Rich­ mond.

Twelve Wisconsin and Illinois artists will be represented in a variety of media, including jewelry, enameling, leatherwork, woodcuts, photography, and painting. Goodwill Service In City Late This Month "The more materials Abilities Center Goodwill In­ dustries receives for "recycling", the greater will be the capacity to "recycle" people," reported Mrs. Nick (Agnes) Adams as she an­ nounced the date when the Goodwill truck will be in this area. The Goodwill van will be in McHenry Friday, Aug. 26. For pickup arrangements and information call Mrs. Adams. "To a very large measure the G o o d w i l l v o c a t i o n a l r e h a b i l i t a t i o n p r o g r a m depends upon the amount of useable materials contributed by the public," Mrs. Adams continued. "The basic economic backbone of Goodwill has been the traditional collections of contributed clothing, shoes, toys, small appliances and furniture which are cleaned and repaired by the disabled and then sold in Goodwill Thrift stores for low prices." For complete information, referral service and free club programs, contact Mrs. Adams. GROUP. INC. P.O.

We never again want to experience the huft. And yet, when the object of our affection is gone, is the af­ fection gone? When a pet we love and care for leaves us, the need to care remains. No, the pet cannot be replaced, but the love can be transferred to another who needs it. We have a need to fill the void. The pet owner who feels so grieved over the death of a pet is exactly the person we need to fill the void for our abandoned, unwanted and hopefully only temporarily unloved dogs and cats. They, too, need to fill the void of having no one to love. When we decide not to be hurt again, we also decide not to be loved again. Please call us or any humane society or shelter to fill your void and transfer that love to another pet. It will be good medicine.
