& HELPING I'AWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P.O. Box 205 • Crystal Lake, Illinois 60014 •(815)459-2641 Plans Undertaken For Milk Queen Contest By Kathleen Thayer Everyone loves a hero! HP's award goes to Victor Hopp, of Johnsburg, for answering the call of a neighbor who saw a large black dog walk across the icy lake near his home and then fall into the cold waters below. Thinking quickly, Victor grabbed a near-by row boat and slid across the ice to the struggling dog. It'.took strength and perseverence to bring the frozen, frightened animal from the water into the boat, but nevertheless, he was able to do so. At the present time, the possible Lab Newfoundland dog has not been claimed by the owner. Mr. Hopp doesn't understand why not, as the dog obviously had been well cared for, probably had a boy as a master and is well trained. The dog is a large adult male, long hair, black, wearing a red collar with studs and was in good condition when found. It was voted on by the Helping Paws Board of Directors to advertise and offer a reward of $100 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer or killers of the Lake in the Hills pets and wildlife. A town meeting will be held for the purpose of gathering information about isolated incidents regarding animal tortures and poisonings. It is the con­ tention of the police department that if enough bits and pieces of in­ formation can be put together, a pattern may emerge to give local authorities something concrete upon which to base an investigation. Not having the investigative authority of a police officer, sometimes makes it difficult, if not impossible, to solicit in­ formation from area residents; therefore, the concept of a town meeting was proposed. Ted Florio, States At­ torney will be invited to answer questions about law enforcement, Jack Rahorst, the very adept Animal Control officer for McHenry county and of course the local Lake in the Hills Police department will be included. Poor attendance at the meeting will prove that the community is not concerned. If that is the case, the matter will be dropped, the criminal will be left to continue his acts of torture and the police department need not worry about further isolated acts being publicized in HP columns. Time will tell. The adoption fee includes the cost of the surgery if performed by a vet of HP's choice. However, if you wish the surgery performed by a vet of your choice, a deduction will be made from the total cost by your vet. The adoption fee remains the same whether or not the pet has already been neutered. 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 information please call the Helping Paws office Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., 459-2641.

Possible Doberman female, brown and gold, about 6 months or so, tan leather collar and broken chain, 459-5359. Many times people who find pets will put collars on them, and even tags, and then the pet will get away. Thus, when the description is given df an animal found, the original owner may not think the pet is his because that other person has placed a different collar on the pet. Check every number that even looks like a possible match. Sounds Like A famous university de-emphasizing football somehow sounds like Washington de-emphasiz­ ing politics. -Christian Sci. Monitor.

Plans are under way for the 39th annual Harvard Mi­ lk day queen contest, ac­ cording to Dr. Norbert Patterson, queen contest chairman. The preliminary queen contest is set, tentatively, for Monday, April 14. Ap­ proximately nine area schools will hold their own contests to name three candidates Jfor competition in the preliminary Milk day queen contest. Only one of the three girls from each school will be picked for the final judging, with the queen coronation to take place during the Milk day festivities. Jane Neubaur, Rockford's Swedish American hospital public relations director, will again be emceeing this year's queen contest. The Coronation will cap off the Milk day celebration in Harvard, newly expanded to a three-day event this year, June 6, 7 and 8. Arbor Day Project Funjd Raiser Helps Improve Life Quality The National Arbor day foundation is now making it possible for organizations to sell trees as a fund-raising project. Clubs, churches and other organizations can sell trees in their community to raise money for their activities, and the foundation will mail the trees directly to the customers' homes. The local sponsoring organization never has to handle the trees, according to the foundation. The Arbor day foundation, a nonprofit organization, is working to ftnprove the quality of life in com­ munities throughout the country by encouraging tree planting. "Trees are an unusual fund-raising idea, much different from the usual candy or cookies. Trees can be a profitable fund-raiser because many people will buy several," a foundation representative said. The price of a Red Maple, Sugar Maple, Redbud, Weeping Willow, Tulip tree and White Flowering Dogwood trees includes a profit of $1.25 per tree for the l o c a l s p o n s o r i n g organization. The trees are 4 to 6 feet tall and come with complete planting instructions. They are delivered at an ap­ propriate time for planting. The foundation says that for best results, trees should be sold from Jan. 15 to March 15 for spring delivery. Organizations may obtain free sales literature and order forms by writing the National Arbor Day Foundation, Arbor Lodge 100, Nebraska City, Neb. 68410. Organizations should indicate the number of persons who will be selling. 4-H NEWS i%%%%%%%%%%%%%'%%saaa LINCOLN CLOVERLEAFS The January monthly meeting began with pledges to the U.S. flag and the 4-H flag, lead by Kim Hill and Samantha Barnicle.
