TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
Johnny is a contented, healthy baby, eight months
old. Nothing seems to ruffle his customary good nature.
Ile needs to be adopted so he will grow up in a loving
permanent home. Johnny's background is Irish, French
and Negro and he has very dark eyes, brown curly hair
and ;medium brown skin. He is quite responsive and
alert, turning his head quickly at the sound of his name,
Ile recognizes familiar faces readily and loves to be
held and cuddled. When strangers are around he be-
comes quiet while he surveys them for long periods.
Young as he is, this little fellow has had several moves.
Now, like Charlie Brown's friend Linus, he seeks secur-
ity in a treasured blanket which he bunches up beside
his face before he can go to sleep. To inquire about
adopting Johnny please write to Today's Child, Depart-
ment of Social and Family Services, Parliament Build-
ings, Toronto 182. For general information about adop-
tion ask your local .Children's Aid Society.
Sugar won't stop a car
Would-be vandals who put
sugar into gasoline tanks cause
little serious damage, says the
Ontario Safety League. It is
widely believed that sugar in the
gas will rapidly stop a car, and
sometimes cause the engine to
seize. This is incorrect, according
to research carried out by Vale
Technica1Institute'in the U.S.
In four separate tests they
have put three pounds of sugar
into the gas tank; a half pound
of sugar into the carburetor
venturi tube; five 12 oz. bottles
of cola into the gas tank, at 200
mile intervals; one pound of sugar
into the crankcase, through the
oil filter. In three cases the test
car was driven at least 1,000
miles after sweetening. Most of
the necessary repair work was
effected by flushing out with
hot water. p r;

OFA challenges
pesticide rules
The border between Canada
and the United ;;.hates cannot
itself
make something fit for
human consumption by
Americans but not for
Canadians,
This is the main point taken
from a resolution passed'.
yesterday by , the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture and
directed to Ontario Health
Minister Matthew R. Dymond.
The resolution first asks that
the Ontario government
withdraw policing action in the
provinces concerning the federal
Pesticides Act. The )aw states
that no one can use pesticides
from the United States in
Ontario, unless the pesticides are
licenced in both the United
States and Canada.
If any pesticide is used in
Ontario which does not have a
Canadian licence, the crops
grown with it are confiscated.
Yet crops grown with the same
pesticide in the United States are
allowed to come into Ontario
for general consumption.
The resolution asks the
Ontario government to
determine the safety of the
chemical and, then, either allow
its use in Ontario, or prohibit
the importation of any
agriculture product produced on
land which has been treated with
the chemical. This would include
live stock fed on such produce.
The Federation believes a
double standard is being
employed. Crops grown using
certain pesticides in the United
States are considered fit for
human consumption in Ontario.
But if crops are grown in
Ontario, using the same
pesticide, the law states they
cannot be used by humans.
Insects spread
plant viruses
Aphids, mites, thrips and
leafhoppers are responsible for
the spread of some plant viruses
that pose a major threat to
several Canadian crops.
The Canada Department of
Agriculture's Dr. Ramesh Sinha
is " studying the insects to
determine how they transmit'
disease from sick to healthy
plants. In his work at the Cell
Biology Research Institute, he
has learned that some viruses
multiply, ,first in the gut of the
k;iiisect,;,then slip to the blood and
eventually into the salivary
glands where the final transfer to
healthy, plants takes' place while
the insects feed.
Phlugge.rhaggen sale a phlop
When The News -Record was
asked to publish a classitjed
Advertisement offering a Model
No, 99 PhIugerhaggen for sale
two weeks ago, our staff reacted
with understandable skepticism.
And ever since the ad appeared, •
curious readers have been
phoning to ask what a
phlugerhaggen is.
But several of our more
knowledgeable, faithful gr
gullible readers did make offers
to buY the device, we are .told,
and among those replying were a
phlugerhaggen collector and a
couple trying to relocate .a
phlugerhaggen they sold some
time ago. •
Unfortunately for those of us
who have never seen or Beard of
a phlugerhaggen, the advertiser
(whose identity we must
withhold) says the, offers were
all too low and he has decided to
take the machine off the market.

1''or anyone who ?missed the
ad in last week's paper, it said:
"l''OR SALT: Model
No. 99 Piilugerhaggen with
removable flam. Has four
ttplogs, that reverse to
make contact with the
lerk. Standard zitzen and
clog gen that revolve
counterclockwise.
Riggletoggle and
clutchritter included if
desired. Battery operated
piddiebottom is a bit worn
and gets wet, but powder
will correct. Krantzer and
flipingert just overhauled.
Low'on vash due to boat
purchase and must part
with this wonderful thing.
Make offer, write box 190,
c/o The News -Record."
We unsuccessfully sought
permission to photograph the
phlugerhaggen, but were allowed
to see .some of the letters from
would-be phlugerhaggen buyers
and maybe from them it will be
possible to glean a better
understanding of
phlugerhaggens.
Connie 'and Floyd of Clinton
wrote to say: We were overjoyed
to see your recent ' ad in The
Clinton News -Record. We have
been looking for a
phlugerhaggen with removable
fiams,for several years
"We had one in our previous
habitat and we had trouble with
the piddlebottom being wet too.
We used Z,B.T. baby powder
and it help considerably, After
several years, we sold it for a
mint to an American dealer, but
even with all our money we were
miserable without it.
"Your description fits our
former model precisely and we
were wondering if it could
possibly be our own. The serial
number (362418) was inscribed
on _the underside of the
rig"gletoggle. When we sold it, the
riggletoggle was missing and the
standard zitzen revolved
clockwise, Has the change
improved the mechanism?
"We can understand that you
will find it difficult to part with
your phlugerhaggen, as we also
did."
Another writer, whose name
we could not decipher and
whose address was Nowhere,
Ontbec, offered 10,000 nieces of
seven for the phlugerhaggen,
"provided your model 99 is
coloured nink with blue and
yellow horizontal, stripedbwhich,
'dun vertical; window are
weather -proofed and all doors
open backwards and it is wired
for'silent stereo music,"
Th? same person asked for a
written. verbal guarantee that the
M
phlugerhaggen was completely
unreliable,
Steve Flarq of Varna said he
deeded the Model No. 99 to
complete his collections (and
begin it), adding that "exeept
for the flipineert it sounds quite
all right." He offered 50 cents.
Murray Draper of Clinton
indicated some interest, but said
be preferred zitzens and clgggens.
that revolve clockwise.
"Those that go the opposite
way," he said, "invariably foul
the scrumpers which would
account for the worn battery."
"I do think you are making.a
good move," he concluded, "to
get rid of it in favour of a boat,
as such articles are definitely
going out of style."

ogres live in cupboards and even the everyday toy box can suddenly
become a very ghostly thing. To a youngster afraid of the darkness, an

costs so very little to operate.
