Most of these are dogs that sometimes run in packs of two or more. It is very unfortunate when people are afraid to walk down the street for fear of being attacked by these dogs, in case some don't know, when dogs are running in a pack and are hungry, they will attack other animals and sometimes people. "Sadly, it is small children and the elderly who are at­ tacked. There have been cases where a pack of dogs that have gone wild have attacked and killed a herd of goats or other hooved animals. These wild dogs also carry with them the threat of rabies and other disease! "Do we of McHenry and McHenry county want this happening? I don't know about anyone else, but I sure don't want it happening anywhere in the entire United States let alone here in our area. . "Unfortunately, people tend to blame the dogs for going wild but this is not true. It is the fauli of the people who don't give a 'hoot' about any living creature, because if they did care then why do they allow the dogs to roam? "I have always had dogs and they are trained from the start to stay in their own yard. Please believe me, it is not hard to train them to do so. There are places right here in McHenry county that place dogs and other animals in loving and caring homes. Don't give McHenry to the dogs, they really don't want it. All a dog wants is someone to love and f take care of him properly. "Maria Tomasello" The United Way ef Suburban Chicago is a federation of United Ways in the nor­ theastern part of Illinois and is one of the three partners in the "Crusade of Mercy" along with the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago and Mid-America chapter of the American Red Cross.

The prime function of the United Way of Suburban Chicago is to allocate funds to its members from "Crusade" dollars for human care and youth services. Service In German At lion Lutheran Church ™ EDWARD EAGEN Edward J. Eagen of Island Lake has recently joined the staff of the United Way of Suburban Chicago in the newly created position of agency services director. Eagen came to the United Way of Suburban Chicago from the Lake county residential network, where he was on the administrative staff. He is a graduate of Jane Addams Graduate School of Social Work and De Paul university. He has held various social work positions in the Chicago area including a staff position with the North Shore Mental Health association. FIRST AID FOR POISONING Officials of the Food and Drug Administration and the Consumer Product Safety Commission urge every fam­ ily with young children to keep a one-ounce bottle of Ipecac Syrup in the home for first aid treatment for certain kinds of poisonings. The FDA has named Syrup of Ipecac the treatment of choice where vomiting is in­ dicated in case of poisoning. Do not make the patient vomit if the poison is a strong corrosive such as acid or lye. FDA cautions users to follow the label directions when using Syrup of Ipecac. The shortages of natural gas and heating oil during last year's record-breaking cold winter proved to most of us that the energy crisis is real. To help prevent future fuel shortages, government and private industry are looking in unusual places for alternate energy sources -- even in our garbage. They've discovered that garbage may be a very rich source of synthetic methane gas, a substitute for natural gas. The U.S. Energy Research and Development Adminis­ tration (ERDA) is funding a facility in Pompano Beach, Fla., to determine the feasi­ bility of high volume garbage- to-gas conversion. The "proof- of-concept" plant, known as RefCOM (Refuse Conversion to Methane), is being built and will be operated by Waste Management, Inc., Oak Brook, m. Equipment at the RefCOM plant will mix shredded organ­ ic refuse with sewage sludge, water, and nutrients, and then "cook" the mixture for five days at 140 degrees F. in special digesters. This process converts half the organic solids into methane gas and carbon dioxide gas, another useful product, and reduces the volume of wastes by 70 per cent. With a capacity to handle up to 100 tons of refuse and sludge daily, the RefCOM experimental plant is expected to produce enough methane gas to serve the gas needs of 1,000 homes. If successful, larger garbage-to-gas plants could follow with the capacity to process all of the waste of major cities. There are other ways of getting energy from garbage. One is to incinerate some types of trash and use the heat to create steam which powers electric generating facilities. It's also possible to tap into mature and finished sanitary landfills to recover methane gas from the decom­ posing buried refuse. Gas re­ covered in this manner may be cleaned and used as a supplement for natural gas. It may be years before gar­ bage makes a major impact on our total energy picture, but the garbage-to-gas concept shows that these alternative energy sources could begin to alleviate our energy shortages in the near future. LAETRILE UPDATE Despite the continuing claims of its promoters, there still is no evidence that Lae­ trile cures, alleviates, or pre­ vents cancer, warns the Food and Drug Administration. There is mounting evidence, however, that its use diverts cancer patients from treat­ ments of proven value, sometimes with tragic re­ sults. In addition, the cya­ nide in Laetrile can and has caused serious adverse reac­ tions, including death. Write for "Laetrile: The Fatal Cure" FDA, CR-7, P.O. Box 4646, Chicago IL 60680. The Rev. Berthold Streufert of Elmhurst will conduct a service in German at Zion Lutheran church, 4206 W. Rte. 120. The service with Holy Communion will be held on Good Friday, March 24, at 3 p.m. Though all will be spoken or sung in German, the worship guide will provide the English translation of the German liturgy and hymns so that members of the families of the German worshipers who do not know the language may still participate and understand. 1959 New York City. The battleground was Rock and Roll Calling Colleen BY COLLEEN DUDGEON Boyfriend's Indifference May Not Be 'Other' Woman H 9 A I A * 0 • V II was the beginning of an era You shoulda been there I'm convinced my boyfriend has been seeing another woman. He used to call me at least once a day but lately I'm lucky to hear from him once a week. When I asked him why he seems to have lost interest he said I Was being too, possessive andi the only reason he hasn't been calling is that he is busy with other things like work and racquetball. I've never been the jealous type and I don't mind if he has other interests. But I'm miserable because I think he's lying. We've been dating for almost two years and have never had a serious disagreement. He has told me that he loves me and has no intention of leaving me for another woman. Still, I have these suspicions and I'm afraid to tell him what I think Does that mean we're not right for each other? * Scared To Lose Him Dear Scared: If you don't trust your boyfriend, then you'd better tell him. You could be blowing the whole thing way out of propor­ tion. Perhaps he just needs some time to himself. If you know each other the way you say you do, then you should understand. You didn't give me any reason to suspect he was seeing someone else (If you would like Colleen's comments on your particular situation or problem, write COLLEEN. Box 639. Frankfort.
