Let me tell you about Oliver. He was the second of six children bom to my dear friends, Catherine and Jose de Vinck. Oliver was multi- handicapped from birth: blind, mute, paralyzed and brain-damaged. Two doctors said he wouldn't live beyond his fifth birthday, but they didn't count on his family's devotion. He lived until March 12, 1980, a month before his thirty-third bir­ thday. I had the honor of preaching at his Mass of the Resurrection. There is much we can learn • from Oliver's meekness and poverty. Other than his bed and his box of diapers, he never owned anything. Hit life, reminded me of the Tolstoy short story, "What Men Live By." In a world where money and possessions are regarded as the only real security, Oliver's life gave testimony to the truth that men really live by love. In this Oliver was rich. He was hand-fed every spoonful of food he ever ate. At death he was entirely free of bed sores, though his back never left the sheets beneath him. * Life is not always thought of as sacred (there were over 40 million abortions More Comfort with Less Energy LENNOX Save Energy - Save Money Replace your old questionable furnace with a new gas Lennox Conservator II forced air system.

Oliver taught me about service, the deeper meaning of it. He served those around him by helping them to grow in love, wisdom, per- severence, kindness, patience and fidelity. His life gave a special meaning to the words of Jesus: "What you did for the least of My brethren, you did for Me." The meek and humble do us a great service when they evoke the best love that is in us. Oliver Ntaught me the beauty of innocence. He was never jealous, resentful, deceitful;, he never hurt anyone. He kept all the commandments, and ex­ celled in honoring his mother and father. We usually think people honor their parents by their accomplishments. Parents take pride in the successes of their children: a diploma, financial success, worldly honors. But Oliver had honored his parents in a different way: by revealing them to us. He showed us the kind of people they are. And now it is over. A love story, 33 years in the making. Now the De Vincks have one of their own, a saint in paradise. Oliver is free at last, free from the confinement of his own body. He now has all eternity to laugh and dance in the fullness of life. Let us rejoice and be glad. * * * * A good friend is one who doesn't care how much money you have. • • • • An unusual teacher is one who realizes that all is not known. YOU AMD YOUR PET By Robert L. Stear, D. V.M. The Orphan Pup or Kitten Most pet owners know little about caring for very young kittens or puppies because the natural mothers normally do the job so well. However, there are times when a female rejects her litter or sickens and dies before the young are weaned. With a little knowledge and some determination, you can help orphaned kittens and pup­ pies through their critical first few weeks. The most effective solution to an orphan problem is finding a nursing female pet that will accept your or­ phans as her own. If you're lucky, you'll have a freind with a pet nursing a small litter. Occasionally, your local cat or dog club can aid in finding a substitute mother for the litter. The new mother will accept the strangers more quickly if they smell familiar to her. You cart help by smearing a little of the mother's own milk on their backs or, at least, rubbing the newborns across the mother's back before leaving them in the nestbox.. If no surrogate mother is available, you'll have to raise the young by hand. This mans feeding them, helping them pass urine and What makes a great mattress sale? Great quality from Sealy m A.

Standard cow's milk is not the best diet for very young kittens or puppies. Your veterinarian can recom­ mend a formula you can mix at home, or you can buy a milk replacement product at a pet store. Your charges will probably need feeding every three hours. You can use an eyedropper, doll's bottle or special kitten nurser to slowly feed a drop or two of milk at a time, until the animal learns how to nurse. Don't rush the job, or the pet may accidentally inhale some of the milk and die of pneumonia. A kitten a few days old will consume an eyedropper or two of food every three hours. As it grows, the amount of for­ mula will increase so that feedings can be spaced farther apart. The natural mother helps her offspring pass urine and feces after each meal with a gentle licking. Without this help, kittens and puppies younger than three weeks of age cannot eliminate waste materials. You must help them by gently rubbing the stomach in the direction of the tail with a warm moistened cotton ball after each feeding. Even if you feed the or­ phans well and help them eliminate waste, they won't survive if you don't keep them warm. Many pet owners don't realize that very young animals cannot , maintain an even body temperature for the first two or three weeks of life. They depend on their mother's warmth for survival. You can supply warmth with a heating pad, heat lamp or hot water bottle. The orphans will need constant warmth all the time they're in the nestbox. Take care that the heat source warms the kittens or puppies but doesn't burn them. If things go well, your v charges will require little medical attention.

Gov. Dave O'Neal Seventy percent of adult Americans die without a will. The property of such persons is distributed ac­ cording to law; however, this is sometimes contrary to the wishes of the deceased. To assure your property is distributed according to your wishes, a will is necessary. The state Department on Aging this week offers some advice about the preparation of a will. Q. What is the first step? A. Consult an attorney practicing in the areas of wills and estate planning. These attorneys are current with the probate law of ybup state. As members of the local community, they are in a good position to offer sound advice on property and real estate, selection of a suitable executor and whether a large estate should have an institutional executor, such as a bank or trust company. Q. How do I find an at­ torney familiar with wills and estate planning? A. Contact the bar association or lawyer's referral service in your community or county. Or, ask friends or relatives to recommend attorneys in whom they have confidence. Q. How much does it cost? A. Fees for a will vary with its complexity and the time an attorney spends preparing it. The current price for a simple will ranges from about $35 to $50. Many attorneys will prepare two wills (such as for a husband and wife) for a reduced fee. During initial con­ sultation, which takes about a half hour and costs from nothing to about $15, you can ask what the total fee will be. If the fee seems excessive, you can terminate the lawyer's services, pay what you owe and consult another attorney. Q. Once the will is drawn, where should I keep the original? A. The recommended place is in the office of the attorney who prepared it. It should not be kept in a safety deposit box in a bank. When a person dies, the bank seals ihe box until the contents can be surveyed. Since the original will must be submitted to the court for probate, the lack of availability of the will could delay the start of probate by the executor. Q. Does my attorney need, any other documents? A. He or she should have a current list of your including the location and approi market value of your property or real estate. This will enable the executor to properly inventory the estate's assets quickly and to administer them in ac­ cordance with the will. Q. Should my will be periodically updated? A. Yes. Changes in your financial situation or in the tax or probate code can affect a will. For example, amendments last year to the Illinois Uniform Probate Code provide for in­ dependent administration of small estates. Retired persons living on pensions should discuss the source and amount of in­ come with their attorney to see if this asset can be in­ tegrated into the total estate plan.
