pet GROUP. INC. I P.O. BOX 143 McHENIV. III. 600SO 815/385-1771 m -^w i*: M Students Perform "Working" William Faulkner once wrote. "You can't eat for eight hours a day, nor drink for eight hours a day, nor make love for eight hours a day-all you can do for eight hours a day is work." Work is the subject, and "Working" is the title of the Readers theatre presentation of the book by Chicago author and radio personality, Studs Terkel, which will be per­ formed by students in the Oral Interpretation class at McHenry County college. The public is invited to attend\he free performance May 3 At 1 p.m., and May 7 at 2 p.mMn the College union. In Terkel s study of the American worker, people talk about what they do all day and how they feel about it. "Working" digs deep and reveals much about what is in the hearts of meri and women who work to survive in the 1970s. Performers include David Enbolm of Woodstock as a photographer; Michael Groth- man of McHenry as a bar pianist; Mary Davis of Woodstock as a writer- producer; Dennis Marunde of Crystal Lake as a supermarket boxboy; Leonard Kaufman of Wonder Lake as a steelworker; Scott Thayer of Woodstock as a gravedigger; Joe Knaack of McHenry as a hockey player; and Suzanne Vadasz, the course instructor, as a welfare mother. Vadasz describes the program as the culmination of the students' learning ex­ periences throughout the semester. Besides learning to analyze prose, poetry, and drama and perform selections from all three, the students have traveled to Northwestern university to observe per­ formances by students in their Department of Interpretation of the School of Speech. Readers Theatre became popular when Paul Gregory produced "Don Juan in Hell" in 1951 starring Agnes Morehead,' Charles Laughton. Charles Boyer, and Sir Cedric Hard- wicke. It is the presentation of a literary work by oral in­ terpreters using only their voices and bodies to suggest the life experience inherent in the literature. Through their vivid reading, the interpreters cause the audience to see in their mind's eye the characters in action.

Gunderson 385-3052 Dan Haggerty, the 1978 chairman of "Be Kind to Animals Week" May 7-13, and Ben the bear. This Sunday is National Humane Sunday. It also marks the beginning of national Be Kind to Animals week, which has been observed since 1915. Prior to this, Humane Sunday was known as Mercy Sunday. Sermons on kindness to children and animals were delivered and in some area children would bring their pets to a special servieeTThe clergy would bless the animals in connection with the special service, for this was and is a time to remember the helpless- especially children and animals-with kindness, com­ passion and defense. While Humane Sunday in­ cludes both children and animals, the rest of the week is dedicated only to animals. This special week was launched by the American Humane association, and is one of the oldest„ weeks in existence today. This year's chairman, Dan Haggerty, attributes the success he has known to his love of animals. "I love them all," Haggerty said, "Because of them I have known the kind of fulfillment that can only come to a man doing what he wants and likes to do." While great strides have been made in humane protection and treatment of animals, there still remains much more to do. We have traveled a long distance since the days of wholesale slaughter of birds for their plumage, the use of live animals for targets, livestock stacked one on top of the other and the wanton destruction of the buffalo. Today there is more emphasis on dogs and cats, and having animals neutered to prevent, further overpopulation. It sad to think that we need to be reminded to be kind and practice the Golden Rule. But by this reminder we can all help to teach someone else, or 3 out of 4 people who buy Prudential insurance come back for more. Doesn't that tell you something about our service? William J .

Be Kind to Animals week is not meant to tell everyone to give your pet more attention for this one week. It is a reminder of the need to be kind all year long, to take time to assess values, and to consider if each of us are the sharing, com­ passionate people that we should be.

A famous Viking explorer? Close, but not quite. Leif, as you well know (or do now) is the latest heartthrob for some million or so of the female gender across the United States and the world-the biggest thing to hit the market since Elvis. Horse radish, you say? Just ask the 1,000 plus girls who screamed, pushed, cried and generally waited around for their one and only. Unbelievable? Not so, especially for Holiday Hills teens Noreen DeWitt, Cathy Hoglund, and Chris and Cathy Szamlewski who braved the throngs of fanatical admirers just for an itsy bitsy glance of their "hero". The wait was well worth the suffering endured for our girls actually saw, touched and talked to Leif. Autographs and pictures now adorn the girls' rooms and his records can be heard-hour after endless hour. One of our girls achieved the ultimate pleasure -Mim DeWitt held an enlightening con­ versation with superstar. All of them came home with fond remembrances of Leif Garrett etched forever on the backroads of their memories. SCHOOL DAZE So many talented individuals live in our village. One of them is fortunate to be playing the lead in McHenry Junior high's production 6f "Meet Me in St. Louis". Joe Mroz was chosen over other hopeful aspirants to play the role of Mr. Smith.
