As stated in bis book, cats have an acute sense of hearing; actually one of the best in the animal world and even have the ability to predict some of nature's disasters! A cat can recognize its own master's footsteps from quite a distance and they have an un­ canny sense that guides them backhome. The majority of cats are 'lefties'; spend two-thirds of their lives asleep and can get 'high' (Mi sniffing their owners used clothes! They have had good and bad times, however, as in Medieval Europe where cats were believed possessed by the Devil, but, for the lucky cats in Ancient Egypt, there were so highly regarded that to kill one was punishable by death. All pet adoptions must be validated by the signing of a contract along with the adoption fee of $35 for all dogs or $20 for all cats which includes the cost of the spay or neuter surgery from a vet of HP's choice. However, $15 for dogs or $10 for cats is deducted from the cost of the surgery if done by a vet of your choice. When adopting a pet through Helping Paws, keep name, address and phone number of the person from whom you adopted the pet. Make the check for the adoption fee payable to Helping Paws. ^Helping PAWS DOGS FOR ADOPTION: Three 7-week Blue Tick Hound males, 312-658-8081 Cackapoo 1-year black female, snots, housebroken, 312- 931-0728 ^ Chihuahua-Labrador 9-moa|lait< small female, shots, housebroken, 312-526-1958 Doberman-German Shepherd 4 % -month female, shots, housebroken, 338-6649 Beagle 9 V4-month male, shots, housebroken, 459-9717 (Don) Toy Collie mix 3 % -year female, shots, housebroken, spayed, 728-0561 German Shepherd 5-year female, shots, housebroken, spayed, 344-0918 Cackapoo 3-year female; Beagle-Terrier 4-year female, shots, housebroken, spayed, 455- 4828 Labrador-Terrier 5-year male, shots, housebroken, 344- 5402 t Golden Retriever-Collie 1M*- year female, shots, housebroken, spayed, older children, 312-497-4568 Labrador 7-year female, shots, housebroken, spayed, older children, 338-9029 Cockapoo-'Benji' 4-year female, shots, spayed, 455-0603 Three 9-week Labradors, 728- 1612, 4 p.m. Springer Spaniel 6-year male, shots, 344-0827 Seven Golden Retriever mix 8- weeks, 943-3289 Brittany Spaniel mix 6-year female, shots, housebroken, spayed, 344-2665 Golden Retriever-Collie 7- week female, 943-3546 Bloodhound 1-year female, shots, housebroken, older children, 312-658-4737 Labrador 3-year black male, housebroken, 385-8856 Seven Labrador-Shepherd 7- weeks, 337-0322 Cocker-Labrador 1-year female, shots, housebroken, spayed, 312-639-2604 Two adult: German Short hair 2-year male neutered; Labrador mix 4-year female spayed; shots, housebroken, 338-1778 Malamute 9-month female; Malamute-Shepherd 2-year male; shots, housebroken, 344- 4018 Border Collie-Spaniel 7-month female, shots, housebroken, 312- 497-3324 Sheltie Collie 4-year female, shots, housebroken, spayed, 385- 4910 Schnauzer 6-year male, shots, housebroken, neutered, older children, 455-1078 Mini-Collie mix 6-month short hair male, 312-639-8415 Basset Hound mix 7-month male, shots, housebroken, 455- 2444 German Shorthair mix 12- week female, 385-8953 CATS FOR ADOPTION: Persian mix 1 % -year grey male, neutered, shots, 312-658- 3683 evenings Black-white short hair female, shots, spayed, 312-639-4765 Calico tabby; orange-white male, 6-months, 312-639-6603 White young adult short hair female, 568-6789 Black with white 17-week short hair male, 344-3112 Dark tiger stripe, white paws 4-month snort hair female, 459- 8911 Tiger stripe 3% -month short hair male, 728-1325 Tiger stripe 1-year male semi long hair, shots, neutered, declawed on four, 312-367-4374 White-brown 4-year short hair female, spayed, 455-5149 Persian mix 10-month white- grey male.'neutered, shots, 455- 4204 Two adult: white long hair 9- month male neutered, declawed; calico long hair |%- year female spayed, declawed, 338-9134 / Grey calico 9-month female, 455-4792 LOST DOGS: Golden Retriever mix adult male, both eyes 'tear'; Upland Acres, last seen Oak Street- Route 176, 455-0692 N Doberman black, large 7-year male, Wonder Lake, 728-1875 Labrador black 3-year male, choke collar, Johnsburg, 385- 0258 Sheltie, sable-white, 2-year female, Coventry, 459-1563 Shaggy mix 9-year tan male, McHenry Country Club, 385-9049 Springer Spaniel-German Shorthair 6-month, brown-white male, tan collar, ID., McHenry, 385-1153 Cocker Spaniel mix 5-year brown male, rope collar, Woodstock, 338-8526 LOST CATS: Light grey 3-year short hair male, large green-gold eyes, neutered, declawed, Lakemoor near McHenry, 344-3426 Siamese long hair The auxiliary to Northern Illinois Medical Center held its annual meeting recently at the McHenry Country Club. The meeting was attended by almost 200 members and guests, and radio personality Mai Bellairs was the keynote speaker. Gloria Sprague, retiring board president, spoke on the growth and success of the medical center over the past two years. "We have grown from a com­ munity hospital into a regional medical center, and the membership of our auxiliary and our volunteers continues to expand. With new services being added at the medical center, our job is twofold: to provide fun­ ding for new equipment and services, and to provide volunteer help to the staff." She reported that over $60,000 had been raised by the auxiliary for the benefit of the medical center and its patients during the past year. Additionally, she reported record profits from the gift shop, located in the medical center lobby, and the thrift shop, on Green Street, McHenry. The new president is Lois Krebs, a long-standing member of the auxiliary, and the officers and board members for 1985 are: vice-president (incoming president), Christine Udstuen; vice-president for service, Callie Harms; vice-president for community relations, Voni Fergunson; vice-president for fund-raising, Jane Althoff; recording secretary, Ruth Staveteig; corresponding secretary, Wynne Roy; treasurer, Sue Wirfs; im­ mediate past president, Gloria Sprague. Board members are: Betty Ames, Saundra Clark, Ginny Covalt, Ruth Howell, Dorothy Kelsey, Genevieve Marrow, Marian Raabe, Millie Simon, Judy White. ~ The auxiliary to Northern Illinois Medical Center (then McHenry Hospital) was first organized on October 9, 1956, to promote and advance the welfare of Northern Illinois Medical Center. Hospital services to patients, community projects, and participation in fund-raising to benefit the medical center are the keystone of its purpose. Mae Stinespring, chairperson of McHenry Healthcare Foundation, was the first president of the hospital auxiliary, serving from 1956 to 1958. The programs and ser­ vices the auxiliary now provides are many. People from all walks of life can find some area to interest them, either as a volunteer, or by participating in some of the fund-raising ac­ tivities with a membership close to 400, the auxiliary continues to expand its horizons and takes on new challenges every year. fAY YM To Looking Your * Absoluts Bolt SAY YIW To Giving Your Skin The BHIGMIMMWI SAY YNI To Eloctraiym, TIm Only ModicoHy Appcovod PormoMMt Method Of Romovfcif Eicon Fociol Or Body Hair.
