BY HELEN ALLEN
HE LOVES BASEBALL
Baseball is Bobby's passion -so • he is extremely proud
of the trophy he 4,holdine. The cup was presented to him
for being the "best ever" bat boy for a team of older boys,
but Bobby plays his favorite game as well as giving ser-
vice to it.
Bobby is 9, slender. healthy and active, with brown eyes
and reddish brown, slightly curly hair. His fair skin freckles
in the summer. Because of flat feet he needs to wear sturdy
shoes but his mobility is not affected at all. Next to base-
ball he likes camping.
This lad is attending special education 'classes. He is
average in intelligence although his performance in schools
is not yet in° par. probably because of lack of stimulation
in his early years. But Bobby is observant, interested in
and inquisti-ve about a number of, things. particularly the
exploration of space. Re sdizes every opportunity to learn
about outer space, the planets. spaceships and astronauts,
and watches for television programs on those themes.
Bobby needs the certainty of knowing that he is. wanted
and loved. The ideal home for him will be one where the
mother and father are consistent in their 'handling of child-
ren, where youngsters are encouraged to talk about their in-
terests and their feelings. and Where there will not be com-
_petition for the parents' attention.
To inquire about adopting Bobby, please write to To-iday's
Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption
information, please contact your local Children's Aid'Soc-
iety.

NEW is time
to carry .out
lawn chores
At this time of year, most
people are a little weary of
caring for the lawn. However,
there are a few chores that
should be done now to ensure
that the grass winters in optimum
condition, says D. B. McNeill,
horticultural specialist, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food.
In the fall, leaves, especially
the maple leaves, look beauti-
fUl on the trees. However, they
can damage the grass if they
are not removed. A few will
not hurt, but an excessive amount
will smother the grass duripg the
winter. Rake up leaves-before
the snow comes. They make good
compost, so save them rather
than burning or putting them in
the garbage.
Grass winters best at a
height of 1 1/2 to 2 inches;
If your grass is taller than this
it should be mowed one more
time.
Chemical control for snow
mold should be applied now.
Check local garden supply store
for these products.
