He always has a lookout for wounded birds as well. He brings them to his foster home, feeds them and cares for them and is good about setting them free when his foster mother suggests it is time for them to go back to their normal life. Jerry is a handsome lad, Anglo-Saxon in origin, with brown hair and dark eyes. Slight and small-boned, he is in good health. A speech defect is being helped by speech therapy and by the understanding co-operation of his foster parents. His speech has definitely improved though still difficult to follow, especially when he talks quickly. Affectionate, Jerry is quiet and easy to get,.along with. He is very willing to help others and responsible about anything he is given to do. Jerry is a slow learner and will need special education. He is in a special class in regular school, working at the Grade one level. He will probably be able to complete the two-year course in secondary school. Jerry is eager to excel and tries hard at school. At home he learns quickly and remembers in- structions. Lovable young Jerry needs parents who will appreciate his endearing qualities and not be demanding about scholastic achieve- ment. To inquire about adopting Jerry, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption in- formation, please contact your local Children's Aid Society. ; • Storing ear corn a problem for farmers The weather this fall has been less than favorable for the matur- ing corn crop. Both dry and wet ears are found in every field. Because of this, farmers could have problems when they crib their corn, says C. E. Moore,. head of the Agronomy Division, Kemptville College of Agricul- tural Technology. Mr. Moore offers some sug- gestions to help prevent problems developing. First, the corn should be harvested at as low a moisture level as possible, pre- ferably, under 30%. with un- favorable harvesting conditions, the moisture level can be as high as 35%. Problems can develop more easily as the moisture content increases. When the moisture content is 30% or over, crib width should not exceed 4 1/2 feet. The drying action of winds will not work if the cribs are any wider. At the elevator, the farmer should make sure all the husks and shanks are removed from the cobs. When they are not removed, rot can develop. At the same time, he should make sure that the elevator has a grate to re- move loose shelled corn from the load. If this is adddd to the cobbed corn in the crib, it too can produce rot. Great care should betaken in temporary or emergency stor- ages. If you use snow fencing, the diameter should not be over 6 feet. This area will allow proper drying. A cylinder ar- rangement in the center will in- crease air circulation, says Mr. Moore.

We all playhard, maybe even harder than we do normally, for when you get down to the wire you give it all you've OA. It wasn't easy to upset a great team like the Rangers, but there are even tougher jobs -- and I'm talking about finally licking muscular dystrophy. You've got to be good to do that.

Some plan for the day of retirement with special „care. When it comes, they're ready. They have financial resources, income, and a plan for spend- ing the new amount of time which is available. For others, re- tirement means getting another job to supplement a small re- tirement pension and/or social security. Successful retirement is really a matter of planning. It is not something one can begin to think about a month or two before it becomes a reality. A most important item, when pass- ible, is a systematic program of savings or investments which will provide financial resources or regular income. If you are a few years away from retirement, and do not have an adequate pension plan, set one up of your own. Set aside as much as you can. If you must make it "small" do so, what- ever you don't need now will be welcome security in future years. If you can invest, do so, in solid, income-yielding invest- ments. The nearer you are to retirement, the less you should speculate. Manage your money with caution, with knowledge that, come retirement, the regular paycheck will not be coming your way. If you are planning to re- locate, don't be in a hurry to select a new hometown and a new home. Investigate the commun- ity carefully. Don't purchase a home assuring yourself that you will like the neighborhood, that the price is right, and in line With adjacent property values. Take your time. You should have plenty of it. 4111111 • BY HELEN ALLEN Brussels firemen. plan campaign.
