7 •V^ Remembering When (with long time subscribers) Harold said one year lights were installed, but the bell rang mysteriously on Halloween. "They never caught us and they never figured it out," Harold laughed. He was camping with a troop of Boy Scouts on Sherman hill die day Marshall's bakery (where the Hallmark card shop is located now) caught fire. Harold recalled a number of fires in McHenry and well he should for after two children died in a fire near McHenry, he joined the fire department. , Among the memories retold by Harold was the day the Kaiser was hung in effigy at the end of World War L Cherished memories include time spent playii^ in the Little German Band. Harold credited Plaindealer editor Adele Froehlich with indirectly contributing to the start of the band. "Spring Grove needed an orchestra and about 15 or 20 kids went up - Adele was the leader,he noted. The Old German Band would include Henry and Stan Schaffer, Marty Conway, Don Stated and Charles, Richard, Stanley and Harold VycitaL" "We played at all the church picnics," Harold said. Harold was at the U of I when Prohibition was repealed. ' "I got. home that summer. They must have had one hell of a party because every page of my trombone book was beer soaked," Harold recalled. Bands figured to be a big part in Harold's life as it was playing in a band in Wauconda that Harold met his future wife, Henrietta. \ " Henrietta said she missed the ice cream parlor at Bolger's drug store the most. "Everyone would dress nice to go shopping in those days," she said. "You'd run into everyone that you knew at the ice cream parlor and that's where you visited." * She remembered chatting with Gertrude Weber at the dry goods counter of Smith Brothers department store and then going over to Bolger's for a sundae. -->~ She also recalled the masquerade dances and parties in the hall above IStoffel's. The McHenry Plaindealer has been a part of the Vycital family for all of their married lives and in Haro^> family since before he was born. ME. AND MRS. HAROLD VYCITAL One of the sights that Harold Vycital remembers from his growing up days in McHenry was the army units, complete with artillery horses, that would camp in Conway's woods, where the V.F.W. is now, on their way to Camp McCoy in Wisconsin. Living in McHenry in his early years, Harold partook in some or the same winter activities as many other children in his day - flipping bobs. He and his friends used to ride the bobs until they got cold, at which time they would play in the mill. . "The mill workers could nevtr catch us," Harold remembers. "There were too many places to hide." Harold also recalled the day Soldier's field in Chicago was dedicated. "It was raining 'cats and dogs> and they had to use horses to pull the cars in and out of the lot," he said. When Halloween rolled around, Harold and some friends would ring the bell at Landmark schoc^in a manner that was never discovered.

Most pet owners use either trickery or physical force to send tablets and liquids down a pet's throat. One popular ruse involves concealing medication within the pet's favorite food. Tablets and capsules are easily hidden in small balls of chopped beef or cooked liver. The distinctive odor of liver can help mask the chemical smell that a c c o m p a n i e s s o m e medications. If you find- your pet greedily eats the meat, but leaves the medicine in the food bowl or on the floor, it's time for stronger action. The technique of "pilling" a cat or dog depends on proper placement of the tablet far back on the tongue so that the pel automatically swallows. The method has four basic steps: positioning your pet, opening its mouth, placing ihe medicine on the back of the tongue, and encouraging the pet to swallovv. To start, place the pet next to your left side on a smooth, slippery surface: a table lop for a small pet, ora bare floor for a larger animal. This gives your pet the least opportunity to pull away. If you're medicating the animal by yourself, hold it firmly under your left arm, with the head facing for ward. Otherwise, have a friend hold the pet steady. Place your left hand over the animal's eyes: fingers on one side, thumb on the other. Gently tilt the head back ward, squeezing the corners of the mouth slightly. The pet should open its mouth. Holding the medicine between the thumb and finger of your right hand, place the dose on the pet's tongue, as far back into the throat as possible, and then close the jaws. Hold them closed with the left hand, and begin to gently stroke the throat with the first fingers of the right hand, to en courage swallowing. You should be able to see By Robert L Steor DVM Monoger of Veterinary Services Norden laboratories the muscles of the throat ripple slightly as the pet swallows. Until you acquire the knack of placing the tablet far enough back on the tongue, you'll need to watch your pel for a few minutes^Q guarantee that the medicine isn't ejected onto the floor. If you must give your cat or dog a bad-tasting liquid, don't try to pour it down the pet's throat. The fluid may enter ihe lungs and cause pneumonia, or it may be splattered all over the floor. A dog's facial skin is loose enough so that you can retract the skin at the corner of the mouth to make a small pocket. Pour the liquid from a spoon into this pocket, lip the muzzle up, and hold the dog's mouth closed. The pet will swallow shortly. A cat can also be dosed in this fashion, although the cheek pocket is smaller, and the liquid may need to be given in several increments, with time for swallowing in between.
