Earlier this summer a group of four students and three teachers from John- sburg high school anxiously awaited the departure of their flight to Mexico City. The group, under the leadership of their Spanish teacher, Mrs. Cathy Abreu, was about to join ap­ proximately 150 other students traveling with the program, American Study Travel Abroad, for an eleven-day period. The Spanish students were eager to experience the history, culture, and the people of Mexico. During the six-day stay in the country's bustling capital of twelve million, the students visited various historical sites.

The Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe, religious shrine of the Mexican people, was also seen by the students. The Cathedral houses the revered mantle of the Virgin who miraculously appeared to the Indian Juan Diego, in 1531. In addition, the group journeyed to the ancient ceremonial center of San Juan Teotihuacan about 40 kilometers north of the Capital. Here, they climed to the top of the 216 foot Pyramid of the Sun, where they gazed admiringly at the architectural marvel which stretched before them. The remains of the city serve as a reminder of the ancient Indian civilizations which once ruled the territory before the arrival of the Spaniards. A trip to Mexico is not complete without an af­ ternoon at the "Plaza de Toros" or the bullfight. The students watched wide-eyed as the pageantry and struggle between man and bull proceeded in the arena. Although Mexico City contains some of the most sophisticated shops and boutiques, the students JOHNF.

They proudly exhibited their articles obtained by using their "espanol." Besides the tours provided by the qualified staff counselors, the Johnsburg group also attended the accreditation classes. Here, a background in history and culture were provided so that the students could better understand the complexity of Mexican society. After six days of constant activity, the group of 160 students traveled to scenic Taxco, the silver city, located south of Mexico City. They spent a pleasant af­ ternoon walking the narrow streets bordered by white stucco buildings, tile roofs, and balconies lined with multitudes of flowers in bloom. This town has been declared an historical landmark, and for this reason it maintains the true Spanish colonial style, reminiscent of the 300 year rule of the ^Spanish conquerors. However, the "real vacation" awaited them in Acapulco. It was here that students and counselors alike could relax by spen­ ding the day by the pool side or on the beaches of the clear blue Pacific ocean. There were also plenty of shops to investigate along the famous street, Costera Miguel Aleman. The highlights of Acapulco were the great seafood restaurants on the ocean front, as well as parasailing. All enjoyed the experience of being pulled through the air in parachute by a small motorboat from the water below. The group arrived sun­ tanned and healthy at Chicago's O'Hare airport and then back to McHenry county. The travelers from Johnsburg high school were students Janet Borak, Trina Evertsen, Jim Flood and Louis Koenigseder and Martha Orso, a student from Marian Central high school. The teachers accompanying Mrs. Abreu were Judy C a m m e l o t , H o m e Economics teacher at Johnsburg high school, and Sharyl Koenigseder, Physical Education ip- structor at Johnsburg, Middle school. Commenting upon the trip's success, Mrs. Abreu said, "A familiar question repeatedly heard from the students during the trip was, "Where do we go next year?" t"« HKM'IMf I'AWS ANIMAL WELFARE ASSOCIATION P.O.

Helping Paws once again has come to that point where bills far exceed income and the money raised at the beginning of the year to see HP through, has been used up and HP is now fighting to stay alive. With the economy being what it is, the Board of HP is proud that HP has been able, thanks to public support, to help every animal that had been injured and brought to HP's attention. Not one was turned away due to lack, of funds. Now, HP must be realistic. Donations are few, the store sales minimal and adoption fees bring in no income profit. Five cats this year who were adopted out for the fee, had cost HP, prior to the adoption, much more per cat for medical expenses. HP still believes that i^e first priority is to help injured and strays. Animal Control lakes from HP the burden of dog relocation, but HP is the only agnecy for cats. With­ out HP, hundreds would be lost each year because that is the volume of cats HP is responsible for. Look for some drastic changes in location and programs as soon as the beginning of next year.

The object of this relocation will be to save the money now expended on other services, just to save the lives of strays and injured. The shelter longed for does not look promising for the future. Although still ex­ ploring the possibility of grant funding, HP no longer believes in Santa Claus. Helping Paws will promise continued service for as long as possible. All adoptions must be validated by the signing of a contract and payment of the adoption fee which includes the cost of surgery if done by a vet of HP's choice, or a deduction from the cost of the surgery if done by a vet of your choice.

United Way Aids Senior Council United Way of McHenry County has authorized a financial aid package of up to $28,374, payable over the next eighteen months, to assist the McHenry County Senior Citizens council to rectify its current financial problems. In a letter to the Senior Citizens council, Frank S. Gfreenwald, of Woodstock, United Way president, in­ dicated that the aid package has three elements: ...An immediate, non­ repayable special allocation of $4,874 to bolster the count's current operating funds.. ...Up to $13,000 in lem- porary advances to assure -Senioi: Citizens that ihey will have the additional funds available, necessary to pay independent auditors currently evaluating the council's financial affairs and condition. ...Redirection of the council's previously ap­ proved 1981 allocation of $10,500 away from program expansion and toward partial satisfaction of the counci's withholding lax obligation to ihe United Slates Internal Revenue service. According to Greenwald, "United Way wants to help assure the council's survival because it provides essential services to over 10,000 McHenry County Senior Citizens. United Way's.aid package is structured to help the senior citizens so long as ihe council continues its current pattern of fiscal responsibility in managing its affairs, while also providing United Way flexibility to determine whether complete im­ plementation of its con­ templated aid is warran­ ted." Greenwald's letter *lo the council also expressed the opinion of United Way, that the government agencies providing the bulk of council operating funds, bear some accountability for the current financial problems of the council. He indicated that United Way hopes that this show of local support will prompt ihose govern­ ment agencies to follow suit and provide meaningful assistance to the senior citizens to assure con­ tinuation of necessary services. The United Way indicated that it expects that a large portion of the $13,000 being advanced for audit expenses will eventually be borne by the government agencies responsible for ongoing supervision of council ex­ penditure of grant monies. Keepin' Healthy Are all of you sun- worshipers aware that skin cancer is the most common form of cancer? And that overexposure to the ultraviolet rays of the sun is the leading cause? In the U.S. about 300,000 new cases of skin cancer are reported each year. Although most skin cancers do not develop until after the fourth decade of life, they have occurred in infants and children. Some persons can have prolonged, ac­ cumulated exposure to the sun and not develop skin cancer. It is now believed that the structure of the cells of i hose who do develop skin cancer somehow differs from the cells of those who do not. If you are a fair-skinned, blue-eyed blonde or redhead, you are more likely to develop skin cancer than your darker-skinned neigh­ bor, probably because your skin lacks sufficient quan­ tities of the pigment sub­ stance, melanin, which filters out the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Blacks, among whom skin cancer is rare, have enough melanin to protect their skin from the harmful rays of the sun; the albino has none. A suntan is deceptive. It can give you a glowing, healthy look while, at the same time, it prematurely ages and damages the skin. To avoid this damage, you must limit your exposure to the sun. Start with 15 minutes a day before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m., and slowly increase your exposure lime day by day. You should use suntan lotion containing para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). Suntan lotion with PABA can be worn all day, t h e y e a r a r o u n d , f o r p r o t e c t i o n a g a i n s t ultraviolet radiation. Use it on cloudy days as well as sunny days because uliraviolet rays peneirate the atmosphere and are reflected from both sand and snow. You should replace the PABA suntan lotion if you sweat, or swim or wash your skin. Forlunalely, skin cancer is i he easiest form of cancer to cure. Today, 92 percent of skin cancer patients are free of their disease following m e d i c a l l y a p p r o v e d treatment. It is believed that the cure rale would increase to 98 or 100 percent if patienis would see their doctors soon enough. Only a physician can determine the nature of an abnormal skin growth) - whether il is benign, precancerous or malignant. You should bring any change to the attention of your physician. If you want more in­ formation about skin cancer, write to the Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Disease Control, 535 West Jefferson, Springfield, 111. 62761. ENCEPHALITIS According to William L. Kempiners, director of the Illinois department of Public Health, St. Louis Encephalitis antibodies were found in nearly three percent of the birds tested during the last week in June in St. Clair, Saline, Richland and Cumberland counties. The virus is transmitted by the Culex mosquitoes, which feed primarily on birds during the first half of the summer. About mid­ summer, these mosquitoes change their feeding habits from birds to humans and transmit the disease to people. Control of the Culex, p r i m a r i l y t h r o u g h eliminating standing pools of water, is the only known method for preventing human cases of the disease.
