Photo by Don Kaiser By Estelle Atwell When the New Year toddles in there's a better way to greet it than a raucous celebration. How about some thoughtful plans for better things ahead, generally known as resolutions' ' And since this is by no means a I)r Doolittle world where pets can speak (heir minds and ask for con­ sideration. let's include them in our resolutions There are lots of things we can do for them Treat them right They treat you like a king' For starters -- don't let them roam and become the neigh bors' anathema You will be inviting trouble and actually harming the dog The hazards are great, whether accidental ones, or a neighbor with fire in his eye because your dog uses his place as a bathroom Resolve to keep your pet fenced in while outdoors and walked on a leash Dogs don't know boundaries It 's up to you to define them But don't chain an animal outdoors for prolonged pertods when the weather is bitterly cold and it lias no protection The same applies when the weather is hot and the animal is not provided with shade Restrain your anger or t e m p e r c o n c e r n i n g misdemeanors. Dogs are trainable There's suitable discipline and unsuitable discipline If you aren't in control of yourself, how can you expect an animal to learn properly0 Have patience during the training period The word patience reminds a certain individual of a statement made by her third grade teacher long ago "Patience is a virtue Keep it if you can You'll find it in a woman, but never in a man." Not so. Teach' Patience is available for all to exercise it It 's not an exclusive feminine trademark Just remember when you have a naughty puppy that it outgrows the mischievous period and becomes a well trained pet There are certain fun damental needs don't neglect any. Nutritious food in the right quantities; clean fresh water available, body care 'baths, grooming); vet care when necessary; response to a pet trying to express his love for you, and the civil attention you would grant any companion Many owners find to their dismay they have to give up a dog trained to be a guard animal because it is too fierce. They may not realize there's a deep-seated instinct in the most lovable pet to defend and attack when danger threatens and circumstances demand So don't allow our dog to form the habit of lunging at every passerby or biting the post man, milkman or other ser­ vice people. Try to be a good owner The dog's appreciation will be great The fee for all dog adoptions includes the cost of the spav or neuter surgery from a vet of our choice or a deduction from the cost of the surgery per­ formed by a vet of your choice.

I^»st Cats Too many to list, pleast call the office Found Cats Large adult The executive director of memorial Hospital for McHenry county for four major building expansion and remodeling programs during almost 23 years as chief ad­ ministrator officer. Bert Hanson, has resigned effective Dec. 31. Announcing Hanson's resignation with regret. Kenneth Schuh. board president, said Hanson sub­ mitted his resignation at the board meeting this week. Hanson. 55. said he had reached the age for early retirement and has no im­ mediate plans. "I plan to travel and then will look at other opportunities after a.Httle rest and relaxation", he oljserved. Schuh said the hospital board's executive committee has begun the search for a new executive director. Meanwhile, the hospital will be directed by the staff's administrative assistants and the board's executive committee Facing the new executive director and the board is the pending expansion program, expansion approved in concept more than a year ago to provide ancillary services for the in­ crease demands by outpatients at the Woodstock hospital. Hanson is leaving an out standing record of service to the community. Schuh pointed out that Hanson supervised and spearheaded major con­ struction programs on four occasions "Those programs have all been properly financed and one of his achievements is that he'll be leaving next week with the hospital debt-free This is a tribute to his business acumen, his administrative ability and his capacity to generate confidence among board members and staff leaders. Their participation in a wholehearted manner has been vital to the hospital's dominant role as the major source of total health care in a great part of McHenry county," asserted Schuh. When tall, slender Bert Hanson arrived at the Wood stock scene to assume his duties on Feb. 1. 1956 after a brilliant beginning career as an assistant administrator at a Chicago hospital, he found a hospital in desperate need of help The community had been squabbling for several years over how to raise funds and construct a building program At that time Memorial Hospital had 45 beds, and if no building program was approved by December 31. 1956, eligibility for federal Hill-Burton funds would expire Hanson and the l>oard rallied the community. With Hanson's help, confidence was restored in a sensible expansion program, and the 1958 building grey black and white tiger striped. McHenry. short coat 385-8512.

New beds new ancillary ser­ vices and complete moder­ nization comprised that 1958 addition for less than a million dollars. In 1962 more beds were added as the hospital expanded upward. In 1971, a climax to six years of intense planning resulted in the completion of a $112 million expansion that in­ cluded major improvements of ancillary services and the additon of 34 beds. That brought Memorial Hospital to its present bed count of 125. Immediately after that program, memorial Hospital completed a major emergency services department to meet growing demands for out­ patient services The emergency department opened in September. 1972. "Throughout most of Han­ son's 23 years at Memorial Hospital, he has been involved in expansion plans and long- range studies", said Schuh "The changes in health care techniques and in climbing costs have involved his at­ tention constantly It is to his credit along with a dedicated staff of hospital and medical people that we have been able to contain costs far better than most hospitals in the nation." For the past several years, the board has directed Hanson to study long-range plans for Memorial Hospital, and the research will result in major county-wide decisions within the next year When Hanson came to Woodstock, in 1956. he recalled attending the annual meeting in January. 1956 where about 40 people were in attendance The Association membership numbered about 45 people Today it stands at 711 The hospital had 45 beds then, and the operating budget was less than half million dollars Today, it is a 125-bed hospital with a budget of over $8 million and with 368 full-time and part- time employees. Schuh said one of Hanson's contributions to the hospital has been +iis ability to involve the community in the day-to­ day service. The growth of the Association and of the Woman's Auxiliary, the support of the civic organizations. the business community and the people of the county beyond the limits of Woodstock are testimony *to the public's confidence in Memorial Hospital as an outstanding health care insitution, Schuh summarized Unityf Church Offers Two New Series Classes Unity Church of Crystal Lake is offering two new series of classes entitled "The Master Mind Principle" starting at 8 p.m. on Jan 3 and "Discover The Power Within You" starting at 1:30 p.m. on Jan 2 or an evening series starting at 7:30 p.m. on Jan 4 at 3 Chalet Drive, Crystal Lake Unity is a non- denominational church and classes are offered on a free will offering basis For further information call: 815 455-2479. | iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinu| POLICE TICKEI$ The City of McHenry Police department has issued the following tickets Gary R.

I'rofiiU'il l>\ STATE BANK OF RICHMOND mi-llllx-l- Y .1 >.!.( . Protection of the currency of the United States is one of the jobs of the Treasury Department. An aspect of that protection is tracking down those who counterfeit currency, bank notes or Treasury bills. These agents are especially vigilent con cerning currency because of the potential threat to commerce a really successful counterfeiting operation could pose. One of the most common alerts to a counterfeit operation comes from the local bank. Bank personnel are especially trained to identify bogus money. Some with years of experience can tell by the feel of the money whether it is genuine After the phoney money has been detected in the bank, Treasury agents are notified and the job of tracking down the counterfeiters begins in earnest. Success of the Agents is demonstrated in the fact that counterfeiters have never seriously threatened the value of our currency. It's a record we hope to keep intact.
