We say thanks for the co-operation the com-
muni ty has extended in our work at Cal 1 ander

continue to share their friendship with our

TODAY'S CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
• HE WANTS A FAMILY
, The smiling picture is a good indication of John's friendly,
outgoing personality.
Joh n is 12, a slim, healthy youngster of Indian descent,
with dark eyes, black hair and medium Complexion. He wears
glasses for astigmatism. John speaks both his native Indian
language and English, and is very knowledgeable about his
heritage. He has spent parts of his life in both cultures and
feels he could be happy in either.
John definitely wants a family who enjoys the outdoors
because his greatest interests are there. He likes camping
and. Is keen on fishing, hunting and trapping. An enjoyment
for all sports is shown but he especially loves to swim. He
likes music as a listener, but not as a performer.
This lad is an average student in Grade five. It is felt
his school work will be even better when he has parents to
take an interest and when he knows he is settled in a home of
his own.
John is a pleasant, co-operative boy ready and anxious
to have a family and prepared to do his part to make the
new relationship work.
To inquire about adopting John please write to Today's
Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption
information, ask your Children's Aid Society.
