Career Education Dr. Kent Truckenbrod. Veterinarian, addresses an East campus Careers class. Veterinarian, Dr. Kent Truckenbrod, recently spoke to an East campus Career Education class. Kay Huck, the Career teacher, said, "This presentation was part of a series of talks by local business and professional people." She has arranged for these speakers to provide her students with up-to-date information about current job opportunities. Mrs. Huck is very pleased with the response of her students to these talks. In her opinion, those adults in a specific field can explain job requirements much more realistically than a textbook due to the constantly changing world of work. She is pleased with the help she has received from the McHenry community. Dr. Truckenbrod told the students, "Veterinary school is difficult to get into due to the many people interested in the field". He indicated that some job opportunities for employment exist in the military and in medical research although the area of private practice is quite crowded. Truckenbrod said, "Love of animals is probably the chief requirement for a person interested in the veterinary field." The students were also introduced to a new veterinary field by Dr. Truckenbrod. He indicated that the career of Animal Technician is growing in importance. This field requires two years of post- high school training and certification by the State Board of Examiners. Ac­ cording to Dr. Truckenbrod, "Women dominate this new specialty area at this time". Police Alert Citizens Alert bulletions are prepared as a public service by the McHenry County Sheriffs Police Crime Prevention Section under the direction of Sheriff Henry A. Nulle. Burglaries: there were 14 burglaries reported this past week, ending Dec. 12. Of these nine were to homes, four were to businesses and one was to a vehicle. Entry was made in five instances through unlocked doors, five were by force through locked doors, and four were by force through locked windows. The most common items taken were crossbows, cases of beer, currency, 8-track stereos, cameras, lenses, telescopes, saddles, jewelry, silverware, hand guns, shoulder holsters, strobe lights, plumber tools, clock radios, televsions and hats. The known value of the reported missing items was $4,300.00. The hardest hit areas were areas bordering McHenry, Crystal Lake, Woodstock, Marengo and Harvard. Burglary hints and tips: protection of glass and glass substitutes. Since windows and doors with windows have traditionally been the target of criminal attack, it is important that the glass be protected or substituted to deter and delay a criminal attack. Recommendation: existing door windows and sidelights should be protected by either replacing them with unbreakable glass or installing grill work. Various types of unbreakable glass can be recommended and-or installed by local glass distributors. Law For Today... Special Mailing Gives Aid To Earthquake Victims PAGE 15 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY.

Answers may appear in columns. Personal an­ swers not possible. A short term special mailing arrangement to speed delivery of surface packages by air-lifting them to Italian earthquake vic­ tims has been set in motion by Postmaster General William F. Bolger. Effective Dec. 15, and continuing until Feb. 14, parcels sent under the current regular in­ ternational surface rate, plus $2 per package sur­ charge, will be accepted for the airlift. This limited special arrangement is not intended as a substitute for major disaster relief efforts of the U.S. government and other major relief organizations, but is designed to make it easier for Americans to assist friends and relatives in earthquake provinces. Only parcels addressed from individuals or families to individuals or families in the six provincial or city areas of Avellino, Napoli, Potenza, Salerna, Benevento and Caserta will qualify for the airlift. Shipments from commercial firms or other organizations will not be accepted under these special arrangements. A weight limit of 22 pounds will apply to each package accepted for the airlift, and the mailer must endorse it in English and Italian in large letters near the recipients address: Airlift Relief Parcel, Pro Terremotati -All the usual mailing conditions related to dimensions, contents, conditions and customs documentation must be met for the airlift parcels. They will receive the usual surface transportation before leaving the United States by air, and applicable handling and transportation once received by the Italian post offices. Regular international air parcels destined for Italy will continue to receive a and transporta United State*. Friends and relatives of earthquake victims should consult local relief agencies if they are uncertain about the kind of items thev should send. And because of the wide-spread damage and dislocation, they should also be aware that any package that is unclaimed by the addressee will be turned over to an official relief agency in Italy. an uouf cafe our poflL|.

The churches, lodges and all organizations of the com­ munity have entered into the holiday spirit with parties for their members yft&d remembered the less for­ tunate of the vicinity. Perpetuating a custom of several years, the Catholic Daughters of America held their Christmas party for the children at their hall. About 125 children were present in addition to nearly as many members of the order and the evening was packed full of fun and frolic. An interesting program was given, after which Santa Claus appeared with a gift and a box of candy for each child. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 26, 1940) Agents of the Illinois Department of Conservation bombed a McHenry cotfnty rookery in an attempt to abate the crow nuisance in that neighborhood. A cur­ sory checkup in the darkness prompted fatality estimates varying from 600 to 1,200 birds. The bombing was done in a 40-acre tract of oak timber on the property of the late T. C. Schroeder, which is located about five miles southeast of Hebron and a little more than three miles southwest of Richmond. This wooded area was occupied by a crow population estimated at from 5,000 to 10,000. Announcement has been made of the marriage of Miss Vivian Whiting, lovely daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward E.

Mr. and Mrs. Montange were the attendants.

TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 22, 1970) Philip Lee Soper, 22, who has resided at the Riverside hotel, is confined to McHenry county jail and two county residents are dead as the result of shooting sprees for which he is alleged to be responsible. The last to die was Guenther Dolenski, 32, of McHenry, whom Soper is accused of shooting when Dolenski tried to follow the hold-up man as he left through a rear door of the Farm House tavern on Rt. 31. The first murder victim was 33-year-old Marlene Ahrens of Woodstock. The Junior varsity wrestling team won 10 of 11 matches against Antioch (there was no match at 105 pounds) to post an easy 405 victory. Five of the Warrior wins came by way of pins as McHenry jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead after four matches and finished the evening with pins in four of the final five bouts. ALEXANDER LUMBER CO.
