TODAY'S CHILD
!BY HELEN ALLEN'
LIKES FARM LIFE
The• alert, eager expression is typical of Gary. This
11-year-old is inquisitive and, energetic, always keen to try
new experiences.
Scottish in descent, Gary is slightly built with dark hair,
brown eyes and medium complexion. His 'health is good.
Gary • was born with club feet which were corrected
by surgery. He wears orthopedic shoes but has no problems
walking or running. His glasses are because of a long-past
eye infection and his colour perception is not quite accurate..
This is a minor problem and does not affect everyday ac-
tivities. •
Gary is not a great scholar 'but is doing moderately well
in Grade five. His main interests are outside of school. Full
of energy, Gary likes to be on thego. He is fond of sports,
either to play or On television.
Gary is fascinated by cars and thinks he would like to try
drag racing.' Since he is interested in farm animals he would
like to live in the country.
The ideal family for Gary would be parents in the 35 to
40 range and a few brothers and sisters, including a boy
just a little older. He especially needs a father to share his
life.
Gary will be a fine son for parents who are able to be
patient and understanding while he learns that with them, he
has finally found a home.
To inquire about adopting Gary, please write to Today's
Child, Box 888 Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general
adoption information, please contact your local Children's
Aid Society.

Phasing out
open dumps
open dumps are getting
closed. But not fast enough.
In 1970, 11.2 million tons 'of
pollutants were spewed into the
air by burning solid waste. Much
of the burning took place in open
dumps. The dumps not only de-
file the air and blight the land-
scape but also create breeding
grounds for rats and disease.
Our society has developed the
most sophisticated technology in
history to produce a cornucopis
spilling ' over with consumer
goodies. But it has in no way
coped with the problem of
disposing of these goods. In
thousands of Canadian com-
munities, the most primitiv.e and
unsanitary means, of disposal--
the open dump--is still burning
away.
We are a nation of thrciW-
awaYs. .Into the gargantuan trash
heap every year go '71 billion
cans, 7 million TVsets, 7 mill-
ion cars and trucks, * and 35
million tons of paper. Many
throwaways defie destruction by
natural processes. Waste is
overwhelming us.
Mission 5000 sounds like an-
other James Bond extravaganza.
Actually, it is a nationwide cit-
izen project to close up 5000
open dumps. Launched in 1970,
it repreSents a combined attack
on environmental pollution by
local, provindal and federal gov-
ernment agencies with scores of
civic and conservation groups--
including the National Tubercul-
osis and Respiratory Disease
Association • Within the first
two years the citizen groups have
rubbed out 1600 dumps. Hund-
reds more are scheduled for
early replacement.
How. do you replace an open
dump? With sanitary landfills.
By recycling and reusing second-
hand materials. By energy re-
covery--burning solid wastes to
produce heat or power. Finding,
alternatives to open dumping
means work. Find out what you
can do. Contact your local tub-
erculosis and' respiratory dis-
ease association. It's 'a matter
of life and breath.
It's working
for you!
