HE HAS ;ft HAPPY DISPOSITION
Chris is a loveable, five-year-old, Cree IndianA e has
chestnut-colored hair, dark eyes and olive skin. The glasses are
for near-sightedness.
Active, busy Chris behind the average child his age —
especially in speech. But he, is having speech therapy and
psychologists feel his greatest need is for the company of -other
children .so he will learn from playing with them. Last year he .
attended a special nursery school but now is enrolled in regular
kindergarten.
From being an aloof little fellow, Chris has become sociable
with both children and adults. In general he is good-natured and
co-operative, but he has, a temper and can' be stubborn.
Chris is not expected to be a great scholar but he haS made
great strides and is doing better than anyone could have
predicted a year or so ago. He needs warm, loving parents who
will help him continue his progress but will not be unrealistic in
their expectations.
To inquire about adopting Chris, .please write to Today,'s
Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. In your letter please tell something
of your present family and your way of life. For general adoption
information, consult your local Children's Aid Societ y.

To-day's, health
Constructive leisure improves hecilth
engaging in a sport -- golf, say, or
tennis -- where he become furious
and, uptight if he doesn't win.
Similarly, a clerical worker might
derive greater satisfaction and
benefit from leisure activities
requiring leadership skills.
In any event, the point is th
many people become so involved
in their work that they never get
around to its rewards . . . to
enjoying the leisure they've
earned.
This may be due, in some
measifie, to a sort of °lingering
puritanism -- the idea that rest is
rust. But even for the work
addicts -- in fact, ESPECIALLY
for such people -- leisure is vital
therapy.
A change of scene, new
learning experiences, regular
vacations, sports and hobbies and
reading, or"' all of these can
refresh and'invigorate. They can
help us back into the normal daily
routine with a new outlook, a new
spirit.
The dictionary defines leisure
as having one's time free from the
demands of work or,duty: You
owe it to yourself ,to' make a
healthy investment in that
freedom.

By David Woods
Whether you pronounce it to
rhyme with pleasure or seizure,
leisure is extremely important to
your health and well-being.
Like its pronunciation, leisure
itself is a matter of individual
choice. But there's more to it than
just slumping in front of the
television set with a bottle of
beer.
Ideally, leisure should be a
change of pace. It should be an
opportunity "to recharge' the
batteries; a change to break up
the routine. And leisure should be
both relaxing and stimulating.
But it doesn't 'have to be extreme;
taking a break need be neither a

After all, most of us need to let
off steam . . . to• get rid of the
pressure of modern living. Trying
to do that by using liquor or
tranquillizers is a short-term --
and not very healthy -- solution.
A far more effective approach
is to get wrapped up in some
activity that's both relaxing and
enjoyable -- preferably something
that contrasts with your work life.
