By popular demand*. the American Repertory Theatre systems is back again with an hilarious new comdy, "How The Other Half Loves". There will be talented new faces plus some favorite stars. Featured in the cast are Brian Bently Blanchard, Lake Zurich; Deana Fabry, Lin- denhurst; Nicholas and Marie Muschal, McHenry; Wallace Norin, Kent Acres; and Ann Marie Cina of McHenry Shores. "How The Other Half Loves" is the story of three couples, with the men all working for the same tfirm in different departments. Bob Phillips is having an affair with his boss's wife, Fiona Foster. Each is confronted by his spouse when he comes home very late one night. In order to explain their whereabouts, Bob and Fiona invent a story about having to spend the entire evening help­ ing to smooth over the domestic troubles of the third couple. Mary and William Detweiler. Since the couples rarely see each other socially, the in­ vented story seems to be a safe alibi. Unfortunately, due to a shift in personnel in the firm, the Detweilers are now thrown into the same social circle. At two separate dinner parties given for the Detweilers, they reveal conflicting information about the night in questions. The plot thickens when the suspicious spouses accuse the Detweilers of having affairs ..with the straying mates. "How The Other Half Loves", directed by Barbara D. Miller of Ringwood will be performed at Andre's Steak House, 11106 U.S. 12 North, Richmond. It will open March 10 and will run weekends through March 25. Show times are Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3:30 p.m. Reservations are necessary. Seating is limited, therefore it is advisable to make your reservations early by calling 815-678-2671. Actors interested in auditioning for future shows may send resume to A.R. T.S., Box 542, McHenry. • • • * A lot of worry can be wasted on other people. pet^FA* WHY SHOULD I? Why Should I Get My Dog or Cat Spayed or Neutered? The pet population in the United States is a terrifying • problem. Each hour of the day and night, 10,000 puppies and kittens are born. There are an estimated 25 to 30 million strays, costing millions of dollars each year. Only about 20 percent of these animals find good homes. Won't My Dog or Cat Get Fat, Lazy, Mean or Won't Neutering Break Its Spirit? No! Pets will not get fat or lazy with a proper diet and exercise program. Pets do slow down as they enter middle age, but not because of neutering or spaying. Neutering or spaying will not cause a pet to become mean or break its spirit. Temperaments stay the same, in fact, some become more loving. GROUP, INC. P.O. BOX 143 McHENRV . III. 40050 815/385-1771 Can't jWy Pet Giving Birth Teach My Children About the Facts of Life? It would be much nicer for the kids to learn from a talk with you. After all, do you think children should learn the facts of life from two or more dogs or cats fighting and mating in the front yard? Also, the full "facts of life" in the case of puppies and kittens is that millions have to be put to death because there are not enough homes for them. My Pet Never Goes Out, So Why Should I Worry About Spaying or Neutering? Accidents can and do happen. Female dogs and cats in heat can be very tricky about running away and coming home pregnant. Male dogs hang around hoping and can become a nuisance. Female cats in heat are quite vocal and they go into heat more and more often if they don't mate. Male cats mark territory by spraying in the house and outside. This habit is messy and odorous. My Pet is a Male, Why Should I Have Him neutered? It takes two to tango and males can mate with many females. One male can service the whole neighborhood. Neutering can help keep^ your pet from roaming. Male dogs can smell a female in heat for over 2 miles. Isn't My Dog or Cat Too Old - or Too Young? Cats and dogs can and should be neutered or spayed at about 6 months. An older pet, in good health, can be spayed or neutered at any age. Pregnancy can be much more of a risk. Spaying a female can reduce the risk of mammary tumors in older females. It is not necessary to wait until a female's first heat or litter. Modern veterinarian methods can now tell whether a pet is sexually mature. Spaying and Neutering is Expensive. I can't afford it. Pregnant and nursing animals eat twice as much as usual. That's 3 months extra food. Puppies and kittens can make a mess, have to be weaned and fed. They should be taken to the veterinarian for shots and worming. Can you find good homes for them or will you be stuck with the lef­ tovers nobody wants? Shelters and humane societies are full. Stop and think about the cost in time, worry and inconvenience, not just the money. It is cheaper in the long run to spay or neuter. If there is an ac­ cident, most veterinarians can still spay your female in early pregnancy. Less than 500 U.S. veterans of the Spanish-American war are still alive, the Veterans ad­ ministration says. A total of 392,000 American servicemen took part in that conflict. Child Abuse Prevention Gov. Thompson has an­ nounced that a child abuae pre­ vention conference will be held in Chicago May 10-12. "The problems of child abuse and neglect are very complex and I hope this conference will provide a focal point for discussion and a forum for action on this problem which affects us all," the governor said.
