Home My WebLink AboutThe Brussels Post, 1973-11-28, Page 10THAIS WEEK from Ottawa TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN HE LOVES SPORTS Tony is 11, a slirri, active, agile, healthy boy of black and Irish descent. He has brown curly hair, olive skin• and dark eyes fringed with long lashes. This outgoing boy needs and wants a family to belong to.. A family interested in sports and outdoor activities will be best because these re important to him. Tony loves all games and plays most of them. He likes camping, swimming and horseback riding. Gardening is his hobby. Since he enjoys the' outdoors and growing things and is fond of animals, he wonders if he would like to be a farmer — but he is also interested in mechanical things. A below average student, Tony is working at the Grades 2 and 3 level in school. Until recently the fear of failure made him reluctant to tackle any school projects. Now he is able to st art assignments more enthusiastically Tony is competitive and aggressive, and yet sensitive. He is a curious lad with a good sense of humor. This boy needs adopting parents who tan combine warmth and firmness and, who will give him encoUragement - without, pressure. • To inquire about adopting Tony, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community arid Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2.

ECONOMY TO GROW Finance. Minist er John Turner forecast in a speech in Montreal a healthy, growth in, the. Canadian economy in 1974,with stimulus coming from rapidly expanding capital investment in new plants to increase productive capacity and employment opportunities. Mr. Turner said "the economy is now operating at or very close to its full capacity, with the main limiting factor on future growth being a shortage of available productive capacity, material and, manpower, rather than any shortage of demand for the goods and services produced by Canadians." EXPORTS UP' Canada's exports in October, seasonally adjusted, reached their highest level this year, totalling $2.14 billion up considerably from September's total of $1.98 billion. RECORD WHEAT CROP Statistics Canada reported that this year's wheat crop will hit 628.7 million bushels, surpassing the ten-year average of 614.1 million bushels and up substantially over the 1972 wheat crop average of 533.3 million bushels. Of the major crops, the volume of oats, rye and flaxseed is eact expected to be above last year's level, but production of barley and rapeseed is expected to be down.

Ottawa won the championship for the east and carried off the 'Grey Cup from which to toast their victory in champagne.

Organization Conference-in Italy. In his speech to the FAQ, he stressed the urgency of maintain- ing adequate world food reserves - "the present world circutn stances require and call for all out production to replenish food reserves on a world basis." World food reserves have dwindled drastically mainly because of difficulties of the developing countries to accelerate their increase in production and because of wide-spread occur- rence of drought and poor crops especially in the developing regions of the world.
