TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN HE NEEDS A FAMILY Four-year-old Hughie does not realize he is a little boy without a family, but he does know he has a problem - very poor eyesight. • At first, it was feared his sight would become even worse and that he would become blind. This does not now appear to be the case, because his vision is improving, if anything. He can see well enough to appreciate children's television programs, and to look at picture books. Like most small boYs, Hughie delights in playing with cars. He enjoys music and often dances to records. None- theless, he has many frustrations over things he can't cope with because he doesn't see them properly. His difficulties have made Hughie a timid youngster, very dependent on his foster family. But he has been attending a special nursery school with help from the Canadian National Institute for the Blind where his teacher says he is making great progress. This dear small fellow needs special parents - parents who will meet the challenge of helping a child with a disa- bility to live as normal a life as possible. He should be the youngest or the only child in a family, To inquire about adopt- ing Hughie, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Statibn K, Toronto.
