m HELPING PAWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 205 • Crystal lake. Illinois 60014 • (815) 459-2641 By Kathleen Thayer Some unusual things have been happening to HP lately as a result Of our much publicized financial plight. HP often notes that the greatest sadness is that, it doesn't have the man power to reach the children in the classroom with the humane message, it knows that through them much cokld be ac­ complished that isn't at the present tihie. A case in point is 5 year old Kelly Blake in McHenry. Her mom, Kathi, is a very active HP volunteer and is responsible For the many collection cans found in the McHenry stores. ! Kelly wanted to do something to help her mom help HP, and so she asked for a collection can of her own. She then decorated it with a poster and brought it to school and even presented a pitch to her classmates which netted over *5. Another HP volunteer has so many pets of her own that her 16-year-old son has developed sibling rivalry and has a phobia to, all dogs and cats. However as he was going through the play line at a Crystal Lake store, he saw the collection can with the picture of the sad, caged dog, and ffut in his' two quarters in change. As he stared to leave, he acted startled and said aloud, "Now why did I do that, I hate animals." So, it even got to this fellow. Another incident reported by a bank in Crystal Lake was concerning the man who spotted the can with a picture of a dog that had been at Animal Control, where most of HP's pictures are taken. He became angry and tore the picture from the can exclaiming that it was his dog. He then called the secretary and gave her quite a hard time. She was so stunned by his outrage that she asked him to call back when he could talk to someone in charge. This he never did. If he had, the response to his irrational behavior would have been to explain that if indeed that picture was of his dog, what possible difference could it make. If his dog had been lost at one time and ended up at Animal Control, it is his responsibility to make sure he gets that dog back. Animal Control has so veiy many coming in and out daily, that matching pet to owner is very difficult. Like so many other people, he wanted them to do his job for him but in fact, being understaffed and so "few hours in the day and so many pets to handle, they cannot do everything. Wouldn't it be nice if pet owners would one day take the responsibility of their animals instead of expecting "George" to do it. Another impossible dream of all animal agencies throughout the world. A not so funny incident happened when a lady called in to ask for help in finding a place for a stray kitten she had just found. She was told that if she could please take the kitten first to the vet (at HP's ex­ pense) and then to the foster home which had been lined up, that HP could help. Her reaction to this procedure was "Well, it certainly Seems like much to do about nothing". The volunteer told her if she considered the life of a kitten "nothing" then she had to agree. Thfe lady would not do this and so the volunteer gave her the name of a nearby family that could assume emergency care. They now have the kitten and it's just darling. HP realizes that the public has no idea what kinds of people it deals with daily. Sometimes it is so upsetting that many of HP's workers lose a good many hours of sleep and they cry a lot too. It isn't easy to want to help and in so many cases, HP can't. Oh, to have that shelter. Helping Paws won't stop trying. Can you help?

ALOT Attracts Farm Lenders Judge Brady Completes Today's farm leaders start , working today. Tomorrow's farm issues are being born now-those issues can't wait for tomorrow's farm leaders to "grow into the job." That view was expressed today by Larry Harris, McHenry County Farm Bureau manager, as he called attention to an important new Farm Bureau leadership training opportunity. "Prospective new leaders must be trained now, en- courated now, brought along and become a part of the people who are in the thick of the decision-making and opinion- molding", said Harris. The Illinois Farm Bureau is looking ahead with its special leadership development program called Agricultural Leaders of Tomorrow (ALOT). ALOT is not for everyone, but it is for many farm men and women. Emerging leaders get a head start on these problems by taking part in this program of more than 80 hours of comprehensive classroom instruction. Instruction covers five major areas: Cofti*- munication and Organizational Development; Economics; Political Process; Social and Community Problems; and Agricultural Organizations and Philosophies. Seminars are taught by university educators, business and political leaders and other top-notch professionals. Of special benefit to farmers in McHenry county is the fact that for the 1980 program, facilities have been lined up at Sauk Valley Community college at Dixon for part of the instruction. Dates start in January and continue on five days in Februarv and four days in March. Two of the March dates are at the IAA building in Bloomington. , Only 25 are accepted at each location (another seminar is ^eing held at Mount Vernon) And recommended ages are men and women between 25 and 42. The IAA has provided ptaff time and funding so that the total tuition is low, in­ cluding meals and the two two- day seminars, including lodging. "This is an excellent program to help emerging leaders in agriculture and the community," continued Harris. Application forms and more details are available from Harris at the Farm Bureau, Woodstock. Application deadline is Nov. 14.
