Box 205 * Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014 • (815)459-2641 By Kathleen Thayer The Board of Directors hope to make this new year of 1980 into one of achievement and growth. What is hard to understand is why Helping Paws is still involved in a daily con­ frontation with efforts to stay active. Can it be that this, county has only a few concerned citizens and that those few simply don't have the financial security to help HP grow0 Could another explanation be that even though HP receives such terrific cooperation from McHenry county newspapers that HP is not well-known enough to reach those people who could help0 Whatever the answer to the problems, it is clear that is has eluded HP for nine years. Something is very wrong and perhaps that something is with HP. Many times HP asks for professional people to help with ideas and consultation on how to achieve goals These professionals never show up. never answer the pleas. HP wants to provde the county with the best services possible but. if HP can't stay alive, HP will have to abandon most of the programs now in existen­ ce...and eventually operate the program from a home. After nine years of effort, that seems to be a very dismal prospect. Everyone must know what HP wants, it's been said a hundred times. Ideally HP would^ttlttL a store, office, mifiHjheltenclinic facility. A small parcel of land, properly zoned would be a beginning. On this land HP could put up mobile units to start...nothing fancy., just something. Area lawyers must have clients- who are animal lovers and would be able to benefit by using HP as a tax shelter. HP does qualify under the law, and the service would be beyond definition. When speaking of HP, what is really meant is all of the many cats and dogs in the county who need h e l p . . . H P ' s h e l p . . . everyone's help. Hp can last another 4 months ONLY, according to the latest report of the treasurer. It's now or never! The adoption fee includes the cost of the surgery if performed by a vet of HP's choice or a deduction from the orginial total cost by your vet. The adoption fee remains the same whether the pet has already been neutered, or not. Adoption fees are collected at the office only; The ex­ ception being if a pet is listed for adoption by a foster home. In this case, the fee is accepted by the foster parent. For further in­ formation please call the Helping Paws office Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. at 459-2641.

THE M A R K E I S K E T Seek Host Families For Scandinavians Perishable Foods When buying perishable foods, always look for a date on the package. The date on a carton of milk, for example, is the pull date, the last date on which the product. should be sold. Even though the pull date allows for some home storage time, avoid purchasing milk with a current pull date if possible. Some processed packaged foods contain a pack date, the date on which the food was packaged and processed. Unless you know the shelf life of the product, avoid foods with anything but a very recent pack date. Do not buy any foods with a current expiration date. This the last date on which the food can be safely used. American host families are being sought for 25 Scandinavian high school students from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland for the high school year 1980-1981, in a program sponsored by American Scandinavian Student Ex­ change (ASSE). Interested families in this area should contact Susan Ulbricht, 1103 Hazel avenue, Deerfield, 111., 60015, telephone: 312-945-2365. \ Letters should contain the writer's phone number. The high school students, age 16 and 17, will arrive to the United States in late August, 1980, attend the local high school, and return home in late June, 1981. The students, all fluent in English, have been screened by their school represen­ tatives in Scandinavia and have j?fc>ending money and medical insurance. American families with small children are welcome to participate in this program. All host families having a student can deduct $50 a month for income tax purposes. ASSE is also seeking American high school students, age 16 and 17, who would like to spend a high school year with a Scan­ dinavian family or par­ ticipate in a five-week family stay in the summer of 1980.

IL 815-3441180 FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 23, 1930) The people of McHenry will again have their greenhouses where those of the most aesthetic taste may be satisfied in their desire for the beauty of nature expressed in the hot house plants and flowers. Such is the information brought to us by Michael McCarthy of Chicago who has already purchased a desirable site and has. started the work of erecting tyis greenhouses. The members of. St. Clara's Court Nov 659, Women's Catholic Order of Foresters, commemorated their twenty-fourth birthday anniversary on Jan. 15 at St. Mary's church hall. About 80 members were present to enjoy the six o'clock dinner and the meeting which followed. McHenry and vicinity has been in the grip of sub-zero temperatures in one of the most severe cold snaps experienced within the past several years. Tem­ peratures in this vicinity were generally more than 20 below, some even reporting it to be as cold as 30 below. Math Baur, McHenry's well known ice man, informs the Plaindealer that three robins were seen in his yard. We could make a lot of sarcastic remarks about these birds the way the weather is, but hope they are right. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 25, 1940) A big night is expected at the Bridge Ballroom where a large crowd is expected to gather to attend McHenry's first annual charity ball. With good music, games and refreshments, a grand evening of good en­ tertainment is assured. The idea of the Charity ball has been entered Into with a fine spirit of helpfulness to fellowmeh who may find themselves in cir­ cumstances deserving emergency assistance. Those everlasting Green, Shirts from Hebron came down to McHenry to show the Reed boys why they are champions of McHenry county. The game was settled 55 to 33 in favor of Hebron. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 20, 1955) With preliminary work completed, the City Council of McHenry voted at the regular meeting to advertise for bids for the construction of a new bridge on South Green street near Edgebrook school. Harry Dean, representing the McHenry Chamber of Commerce, was present at the Council meeting to request that the city ) dispense with parking meter use on Feb. 11 and 12, in connection with Dollar Days. The request was based on the fact that other cities in the county have followed this practice and that McHenry business places are com­ peting with other towns in making this a trading center for many people in the area. About 350 parents attended St. Mary's P.T.A. Parents' night at the school. Open house was held in all classrooms. TEN YEARS AGO \ (Taken from the files i»f January 23, 1970) J Considerable discussion was given to recom­ mendations of the state c o n c e r n i n g v a r i o u s departments of the McHenry high school educational program. Most of them will be given further study before any action is taken. Among the suggestions were those for expenditures of $250 for the art department; $750 for equipment for foreign language study; $8,035 for the outside storage of gas, safety goggles and fire extinguisher for industrial arts; $5,650 for an emergency receiver for safety education and $25,183 for the speech-drama department. Total construction within the city of McHenry reached $2,727,493 for the year 1969, according to Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer. This compared with totals of $3,375,266 in 1968. McHenry's lower figure in 1969 follows a reduced construction trend also noted elsewhere.
