New books for the next six year period include: Multiple Skill Series and Word Power Made Easy for the developmental reading program; and Mysterious World for the supernatural literature section. By requesting these additions, the corporation is “building the library to back this type of developmental reading,” commented board member, Marguerite Hoerr. A request for permission for an easement to the lift station at the North Webster school was tabled until next month’s meeting when a formal proposal from the school attorney can be presented. Official enrollment figures were distributed with corporation attendance percentages at approximately 95 per cent, two percentage points lower than the same time last year, but holding steady with yearly figures. Six more accounts were released from escrow for the Milford Junior High Building Program, further decreasing the number of accounts left for the project. Board president, Bill Little, made the following notations: Philip Fawley for his “teacher feature” article; numerous memorials to the school corporation ; positive response to the

Some who combine careers and cooking have discovered that it’s even faster to cook „ boil-in-a-bag dishes in their microwaves than to heat them in boiling water. Many homemakers are exploring the delights of preparing their own meals-in-a-bag. Thanks to the Vaquum Seal-a-Meal® by Dazey, the job can be done in little more than a twinkling. It can be nice to know that these vacuum sealed food pouches are the ideal companion for microwave cooking. They truly help you make meals in minutes.

He is employed by Chore-Time Equipment Company, Iric. Landscaping: An Investment That Grows There’s one on every block: a homeowner whose yard is the eyesore of the neighborhood. The next time the block committee elects you to ask him to improve his surroundings, go armed with some valuable information: landscaping is an investment that grows. Recent studies have shown that there is a definite dollar difference between the value of a healthy, beautiful, plant-filled yard and a bare, patchy one. Real estate agents, for example, were asked to assess the value a well-kept yard added to the selling price of a home. Their estimate? About six percent, or nearly $6,000 on a SIOO,OOO property. Another study, conducted by the U.S. Forest Service, showed that trees around a house may enhance its value by as much as 20 percent. In addition to an increased financial value, a cared-for yard helps a home sell more quickly, and more nearly at the seller’s - “asking price.” If your neighbor is like most Americans, he will move every five years. A well-tended yard will put more money in his pocket when he sells. Perhaps with this bit of information, you won’t have to tell him the true purpose of your visit!

Product code explained to Lakeland Kiwanis

Jim Evans, front end coordinator for Augsburger’s Super Valu stores in Syracuse and North Webster, explained the new Universal Products Code to the weekly meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Lakeland, North Webster on Monday, April 11. The code is now being used for scanning in the Syracuse store with plans to begin its use in North Webster on May 16. The Universal Products Code shows the manufacturer’s code and also the individual product's code which are the same for items throughout the nation and are organized at a central location. Prices for cash register scanners are set up by each individual store. Scanners at cash register check out stations read the codes and provide information which gives the name of the item, its price, taxable items, discount items and shov/s continuous inventory of items in the store. Use of these scanners gives a store competitive advantage and usually causes other stores in the area to adopt them for use. Coordinator Evans pointed out that the advantages of using the scanners in connection with the

code include: greater cashier accuracy; providing a customer receipt which shows the item name along with price; providing information for the store on what items are selling; resulting in ease of adjustment for items on sale; and providing a master control for all cash registers in the store. Customer receipts can be checked and adjusted easily if an error has been made by the store. In other club business, final plans were announced for the Annual Ladies’ Night Anniversary Party to be held at a Warsaw restaurant on Monday evening, April 18. Quick 'n clean Pour enough charcoal briquettes into a grocery bag for one barbeque and fold it. When you have enough ready for several barbeques, stack the bags somewhere until ready to use. Then simply put one of the bags in the barbeque and light. The charcoal will catch very quickly and you’ll keep your hands clean.

Welcoming a new pet into your home

By DR. DENNIS WOODWARD, DVM Hopefully, you will be one of the millions of Americans who will decide to take a new dog or cat into your home this year. If so, you need to put a little thought in ahead of time as to what will be required of you and what to expect from your new family member once he or she arrives. Adopting or purchasing a puppy or kitten can bring a lot of new experiences and joy to your life, but it can also bring some problems. When a young animal is suddenly taken from it’s mother and littermates and given a whole new environment, it is subject to a lot of stress. This stress is compounded if the household has young children who, naturally, want to play and hold the pet continually. If other pets are present, this can also make the new arival feel uncomfortable. To minimize these initial traumas, the new pet should be given an adjustment period to get used to his new surroundings. Children should be discouraged from continual handling and chasing of the animal. Older animals should likewise be kept seperated from a new young one at least until it can be determined that there will be no serious attack. Remember, the new pet is the invader into your old pet’s territory. Older animals given new homes also suffer a great deal from stress and need this ad-

Tornado season opens We are now in tornado season, according to Lores Steury, Goshen College weather observer. Records show, however, that May is the month with the most tornadoes. 1982 was not a bad year for tornadoes in Indiana with only four tornadoes reported. For the nation, however, 1982 was the worst year on record with over 1027 tornadoes reported. Texas had the most tornadoes with 203 reported; Arkansas had the most killed from tornadoes with 19. Some years have had worse storms than 1982. On March 18, 1925, a tornado went through Missouri, Illinois, and southwest Indiana, cutting a path for 219 miles in three and a half hours. A total of 695 people were killed in that storm. The most severe storm in Elkhart County was Palm Sunday, 1965, with 256 reported killed. The tornadoes of the past have made present warning systems more effective. More people are on alert in threatening weather.

justment time also. Whether they are young or old, the animals may have an initial period during which they do not eat or drink well. Usually a puppy or kitten should get over this within one to two days. An odler animal may have this problem persist longer. However, if this lack of interest in food persists for more than two days, the animal should be examined by a veterinarian to see if there is a medical reason for the problem. Patience will be required for the first few nights with a puppy or kitten, as they may be very vocal in expressing their lonliness at being away from their littermates. A few of the remedies commonly used to help the little one feel more comfortable are a hot water bottle to substitute for mother’s warmth and a ticking alarm clock or a softly playing radio to keep them company. These items won’t stop the howling altogether, but at least they may hold it to a minimum. Plans should be madeprior to a new pet’s arrival as to where they will be kept at night or during the owners absence in order to avoid damage to the household from chewing or housebreaking problems. There are certainly other subjects which must be considered and planned for when anyone is getting a new pet, but I will try to expand on other subjects such as housebreaking, feeding, and training in a future column.
