TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN. ALLEN
Clark is seven months old, developing very well. You
can tell from his expression that he is a happy; alert,
responsive baby. He smiles and babbles and laughs aloud
whenever he is spoken to. He seems tonotice everything
and everybody. Though he is a bit too young to crawl, Clark
has discovered he can get around by rolling and he covers
quite a bit- of territory this way. While he waits to be
adopted Clark is living with a foster family where there are
other children. Ile loves to watch their activities so he would
probably be happy to have brothers and sisters in his
permanent Houle. Of English descent, Clark is a long baby,
sturdily built and in good health. He has blue eyes, scanty
blond hair and fair skin. IIe needs parents who will welcome
hill(' on his own merits without worry over mental illness in
his background. To inquire about adopting Clark please
write to Today's Child, Department of Social and Family
Services, Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182. For general
information about adoption ask your local Children's Aid
Society.

Good year for drain industry
BY VERNON SPENCER
Ontario Dept. of

Buying drainage tile has, been
an exasperating experience for
the last few years. When the tile
yard was contacted the replies
were generally "If you just need
a hundred or so, we have some
seconds" or "Nothing now but
we should be able to get you ten
thousand or so some time in the
next two months". There just
weren't any tiles available. Both
farm and municipal work
suffered and many people
simply dropped the idea of
doing. any tiling for awhile:
Even people who had tile
ordered well . ahead were
complaining. Their orders often
contained cracked, crooked and
over -or under -burned tile. The
manufacturers were saving and
selling just about everything In
drainage industry conducted by
• the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food in the fall
of 1968 showed clay tile
production up 15 percent over
1967 and predicted another 15
percent increase in 1969.
Concrete tile production in 1968
was nearly double 1967 levels
and a further 20 percent increase
is forecast for 1969.
Manufacturers of plastic
drainage tubing are also planning
large production runs in 1969
and may supply about a tenth of
the tile for farm systems.
For the first time in years
some stockpiles of tile can be
found. The manufacturers have a
little time to • do some
maintenance and general
housecleaning that just wasn't
donein the rush of past years.
The result is a better tile because
the condition of machinery is;

With the wet weather this spring, crops are going, in slowly,
according to Garry Howes, Ontario Dept. of Agriculture and
Food extension assistant for Huron County. Mr. Howes said this
week that little corn is in, but some farmers have started. Most
farmers are more than half done with their grains, he said, but
seeding has been delayed by heavy rain. Some young stock has
been turned out to pasture, he added. — Photo by Ron Price.

"The town can't afford two,"
the mayor said, "but maybe we
can have one costing $25,000 to
