Neither the driver nor the dog was injured in the accident. Robert N.^ Grenell, 4807 Gregory street, was taken to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue squad for treatment of injuries he sustained in a two-car accident Thursday He told Sheriff's police that as he was eastbound on Fox Lake road, he noticed that an auto approaching on Broadway was not going to yield. 1S CHRISTINE ALLEGRETTI Grenell reportedly swerved to the right, but could not avoid being struck by the oncoming auto driven by Tamara D. Ryback. 1511 N. Riverside drive. Ms. Ryback stated that the she observed no cross traffic after stopping at the in­ tersection and the setting sun may have been to blame. Witnesses to the collision stated that the Ryback vehicle did not yield to the Grenell car. Police issued Ms Ryback a ticket for failing to yield at a stop intersection TRAP FISH v FOR STOCKING PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) structed at Chain O' Lakes State park, said Department of Conservation Management Staff Biologist Thixton Miller. Most of the tiny northern frye will probably be stocked shortly after they hatch, Erickson said. Stocking of northern pike frye is normally done only in newly stocked lakes Otherwise, the baby fish would be eaten by other larger fish, he added. Those fish that are not stocked immediately will be reared at Chain O' Lakes until late in the summer when they have grown to about six inches in length. A good bet for stocking of these fish will be Turner Lake at Chain O' Lakes State park or Tomahawk and Warrior Lakes at Moraine Hills State Park, Miller said. Both these locations suffered severe winter fish kills and have been favorite spots for anglers in northern Illinois. Timing their trapping ex­ pedition for when the water temperature reached about 38 degrees, the two biologists set trap nets near the mouth of Sequoit creek in Lake Marie. The fish were then trapped when they tried to go upstream to spawn in marshy areas. Getting both mature females and males can be difficult, Brown pointed out. Last year, all the males captured were too immature to yield any milt or sperm to fertilize the modest number of eggs obtained from females Part of the problem was their timing; the males go upstream first and wait for the usually larger females. Temperature is just as im­ portant as timing. The fish start upstream when the water temperature reaches 36 to 38 degrees, but don't start to spawn until the water tem­ perature is 44 degrees. How fast all this occurs, of course, is dependent upon the weather, but Erickson said the entire spawning run lasts only a couple of weeks in Illinois. If the fish are, already spawning in the Chain, why transplant them9 A major reason for doing so, Erickson points out, is that the pollution in the Chain and the loss of marshy areas greatly hinders the natural reproduction of northern pike. He estimates that the survival rate of eggs is as low as five percent, and points out that individual fish occasionally do not spawn at all if they do not find an ap­ propriate place. In the htachery, 40 to 50 percent of the eggs will hatch, he said. CONSIDER NEW SPACE PROBLEMS OF COURTHOUSE (Continued from page 1) present building if we rearrange the offices. Some have plenty because those departments planned ahead. Others are crowded." Among the most crowded are the Circuit clerk, Health department, and Sheriff's department. The Sheriff's department has 101 people in an office area designed for seventy people. "If we build I advocate movable walls," continued Morris. "We can see the need for that now in the present structure." The need to expand the Animal Control shelter also occupied a prominent part of the County board meeting agenda. Dr. J.V.

ELM ST., McHENRY, ILL. animal control shelter work has more than doubled in the past four years. "I have recommended we add an eight-foot addition to the east for office space. The building was not designed with a reception and office area. "The building was never completed by the previous owners, and I recommend we complete the fourth wing. We are using three now," said Dr. Johnson. "We need space to hold dogs longer. We need a work area for examination. Now, when we need to look at an animal we put a big board over the bathtub-that's our work bench." Dr. Johnson said the County board realized the present facility on Woodstock's east side would ultimately require an addition and that it has fulfilled its purpose as visualized when a the Agriculture and Health com­ mittee originally recom­ mended its purchase a few years ago. ' Major Zoning Problems Addressed At Seminar McHenry county zoners and planners converged upon the Branded Steak House to sit in on a countywide zoning seminar hosted by the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals. Top Illinois zoning authorities took over the morning session, speaking on topics and problems now facing the county. Attorney Richard Babcock of Woodstock ad­ dressed the group on Variations. Lake County at­ torney Michael Sieman spoke out on Zoning versus the Courts. State Rep. Eugene Schlickman of Arlington Heights walked the group through the highly con­ troversial area of Conditional Usage and Allen Bock from the Department of Agricultural Law, Urbana, covered Agricultural Districts, their definition and proper use. The afternoon session con­ sisted of a joint meeting of planners and zoners from five departments on county level irt an attempt to open lines of communication between the various groups and develop a stronger rapport and better working relationships. Over fifty officials attended this zoning seminar, including twenty County board members, representatives from the Regional Planning com­ mission, Building and Zoning department, Planning and Zoning committee and Zoning Board of Appeals.

A tabby named "Puss" of North Devon, England, is said to have lived until he was 36 years old. A more recent and better documented case was a female tabby '"'Ma", of Devon, England. She was put to sleep at 34 years of age, in November of 1967. The heaviest cat on record was a 9-year-old ginger torn, "Spice" of Ridgefield, Conn. He weighed 43 lbs., June 26, 1974. He has reduced to a slim 35 lbs., since then. The average weight for cats is 11 lbs. One of the most prolific cats on record was "Dusty" of Bonham, Tex. She gave birth to her 420th kitten June 12, 1952. (Can you imagine all those cats around your house!) P.O. BOX 143 McHINRY.III. 60050 815/385-1771 "Quincy" fell from the nineteenth story balcony of a Toronto, Canada, building. The cat lived, but was under the care of a veterinarian for sometime afterward. In San Diego, Calif., lived two of the richest cats known. The onwer died and left his entire estate of $415,000, to the 15- year-old cats, "Hellcat" and "Brownie". When the cats died in 1965, the money went ot George Washington university, Washington, D C. Bromley, England, might be said to have the most valuable cat. An offer of 2,000 guineas was turned down for 2-year-old champion copper-eyed white Persian torn named "Coylum Marcus", in 1967. (That's about $5,880). "Minnie", a female tabby, during a 6-year period, killed 12,480 rats at White City stadium London, England. The greatest mouser is "Mickey" of Lancashire, England. He killed more than 22,000 mice during his 23 years. An estimated 100,000 cats are "employed" by the civil ser­ vice in England.
