A HELPING PAWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 205 • Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014 • (SIS) 459-2641 by Est«ll« Atwell The "eyes" have it. Gentle, quiet, housebroken, shots, good with children and pets, this dark brown Golden Retriever mix would be ideal for a family who has an outside kennel suitable for a larger dog or for the family who would enjoy her company inside. Call her foster mom for more information, 312-639-4423. R.NELSON PHOTO It's a two-way connection -- pet owners and the general public at one end; and Helping Paws serving the public on behalf of animals at the other. Feedback is the current that vitalizes this connection. There's plenty of that coming in on 459-2641, the office phone, jingling constantly from the hours of 10 to 2, Monday through Saturday; and there's ample opportunity for HP to express its views, problems, aims, and accomplishments in the weekly newspaper columns. But, more than that, it would be helpful to hear from readers via the letterwriting route as there should be many thoughts offered we could pass along - a sort of rap session in print. So if you have questions, comments, problems, etc., how about relaying them to "Dear Estelle"? The subject, of course, animals. Don't pull your punches, tell all and tell it like it is! It's another form of feedback that gives the writer a chance to express an ex­ perience, complaint, human interest yam, or whatever else comes to mind, and share it with other readers. Send your letter to Helping Paws. P.O. Box 205, Crystal Lake, 60014, and use your names or not. just as you choose By now there have to be several thousand pet owners in the county who have adopted their precious pets through HP. What a lift it would be to ear­ nest volunteer workers to receive feedback in the form of letters and photos from these owners. Photos will be included in an office scrapbook reserved for pet success stories, and their comments will be suf­ ficient reward to volunteers who do their jobs faithfully and work long hours without financial reward. It tells them their efforts have been wor­ thwhile. A reminder too about the Valentine pet show coming to the Crystal Point mall Feb. 11 and 12. Will tell more later but do pick up your applications at stores within the mall. It should be a fun event. Help is always needed for judging, adopting out animals and helping with the pets. Join the fun and call the office for more information. This is an all type pet show, no discrimination, as you know, we love them all. Please remember too that if we don't have the pet for you listed this week, the Animal Control center in Woodstock just might. Please call 338-7040 or come out to 11608 Banford. road in Woodstock.

Smoking Health Hazards Reduced After Quitting PAGE 5 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1978 Audubon Society Slates Series Of Unique Programs Almost everyone agrees today that smoking is bad for your health. Almost all smokers agree that they ought to quit. But quitting isn't all that easy. There are all sorts of gimmicks, medications, clinics and other aids to help you quit smoking. Most of them will work for some people. None of them will work for all people. If you contemplate quitting, remember that each person must rind the way that suits his particular needs. If one way doesn't work, try another. Over 30 million Americans have- found a suc­ cessful way to quit smoking. Including most doctors. Physicians see the brutal effects of smoking on their patient's bodies, and decide for themselves to quit. The decision to quit smoking is a personal one. Many people quit because they wish to get rid of the ef­ fects tobacco already has had on them, like a chronic cough, or to pre­ vent future health problems, like lung cancer. Others quit in hope their children will never take up the habit, or because they can think of better ways to spend their money. The American Medical Associa­ tion's pamphlet: Smoking; Facts You Should Know, offers some hints that have worked for other ex-smokers: * Write down a list of the reasons you smoke and another list of reasons to quit. Review the latter and add new ideas to it. * Keep track of when you smoke each cigaret and how much you need it. This will help you under­ stand your smoking pattern. * Systematically cut down on the number of cigarets you smoke each day. Smoke each one only half way down and inhale less deeply or not at all. * When you want a cigaret, try a substitute - gum, mints, a favor­ ite food, a glass of water. Some people do gain weight when they quit smoking. They have a fresher and stronger taste for food, and they may use food as a substitute for smoking. But there is no actual relationship to weight gain and quit­ ting smoking. Your doctor can suggest a diet to hold down the extra pounds. January, 1978 Frank Chappell Science News Editor AMA The McHenry County Audubon society has invited the public to join members in a series ,of unique programs ranging from local nature hikes to out-of-state tours.
