This is Children's Aid Week, a good time to think
about all the children. in Ontario who have no. mothers
and fathers to love them. These children need to be
adopted so they will. have parents and permanent homes.
The lonely ones, include boys and girls in a wide age.
range from •tiny infants to 16, but thegreat majority are
little boys under two. One of them is Glen, six months
old; an appealing baby with„lovely 'brown eyes, scanty
light brown hair and fair sensitive skin. You can't. see
the dimple in his chin for the rattle, but it's there. Glen
is ha v relaxed little fellow,turdil • b 'lt and in
asturdily pp_
good health, though he .may be allergic to eggs. He
sleeps and eats well. He loves attention and is not a
bit shy. He needs to be adopted so he will have the
loving, secure home most children take for granted. To
inquire about adopting Glen please write to Today's
Child,' Department of Social and Family Services, Par-
liament Buildings, Toronto 5. For other information
about adoption ask your local Children's Aid` Society.

DEAR ANN» LANDERS:
Please print this open letter to
my boss.
Dear Windbay: You are
boring, egotistical, crude and
shallow. You shout so people
will know "the boss speaks.”
You are reckless with the truth
and a twister of facts. Not a
single person in this office
respects you. If you were not in
a position of power no one
would give you the time.of day.
Although we greet you with a
smile and laught at your bum
jokes, we dislike you intensely
and hope one day you will • get
what's coming to you. Of
course, I wouldn't dare sign this
letter,. Just think of me as
ONE OF YOUR LACKEYS.
DEAR LACKEY: I don't
know what'' prompted such a
vicious attack on your boss, but
it inspired the to• write' a letter to
you. Dear Lack: You are phony,
disloyal and gutless.

SAFETY WEEK
Child ,Safety Week, 'a major
CSC public safety campaign,
takes place starting May 4. It
will alert parents to the hazards
which cause such a high toll of
child •fatalities and injuries,
explain how to obviate these
dangers and stress the need to
teach children safety froth an
early age.
PREVENT CHILD .ACCIDENTS
Parents and all those
responsible for the welfare of
children are urged to guide and
protect them through their early
years from the major hazards
that surround them at home and
at play.
TRAFFIC
Teach children the rules of
safety on streets and roads and
insist they observe and obey
them at all times. See that
children .acquire skill» and
knowledge of l the rules of the
road before letting them ride a
bicycle on streets and• "roads.
SUFFOCATION
Never use airtight thin plastic
in crib or carriage. It can
suffocate a child in less than' a
minute. Destroy or discard it
safely. No pillow or restraining
device should be used in a baby's
crib, and small objects such as
coins, buttons, beans and pins
must be well out of reach.
Propping a bottle in the crib to
feed a baby is a dangerous
practice° which can lead' to
suffocation. Discarded and
inactive refrigerators and
freezers are potential death traps
and should be made harmless by
removing doors or securing them
so that children cannot enter.
DROWNINGS
When bathing a small child,
ignore all ' interruptions. Never
leave a child alone' in a bathtub,
wading pool, or any body of
water, even for a minute. Teach
a child how to swim at an early
age and instruct him in the •
basics of water safety. Children
should be warned about thin ice
on bodies of water, especially
during the early fall and spring
seasons.
How much home are you missing
through outdated wiring?
When this house was built it was
hard to imagine all the wonderful
ways in which electricity would
be serving us today. That's \May
the wiring in so many older
homes just isn't adequate for
today's needs.
There are many signs. Fuses
blowing. Lights dimming. Appli-
ances performing sluggishly.
Cluttered -extension cords-. N of
enough outlets.
So, if you're planning to mod-
ernize your home, .think first of
the wiring. Have a qualified elec-
trical contractor check it. You'll
be surprised at hew easily and
inexpensively it can be updated.
Or just ask your Hydro.
The Name of the Game is Electrical Living.
Loyalty and integrity
•1! urthermore, you sound like a
four -door troublemaker a`
cancer that would eat at the
vitals of any organi1Qn.
Elbert Hubbard said it best:
"If you cannot speak well of the
person you work for, clear out
and work ,for someone else.
Loyalty- and integrity are as
important as ability and they
will get you further."
DEAR ANN LANDERS: Our
174ear-old son, who has always
been very• quiet and obedient, a
good student, and has) never
caused us a minute's trouble,
was visited this evening ' by." a
15 -year-old girl, her father•and
their clergyman. The "meeting"
was in our living room.
It seeins Ernestine i&pregnant
and our son is the father. I can't
tell -you how shocked /we- were to
get this news. Our boy was
taught to respect womanhood
and he showed not the slightest
sign that he was interested in
this girl. In fact, he said not too
long ago to his father, "I don't
want to go steady with anyone.
I'm in no hurry to get serious.
I'm going to wait until the right
girl comes along."
What do you - suppose
happened, Ann': Where do we go
from -here? — SPOKANE
DEAR SPOKANE:
Apparently, while your son Was
waiting for the right girl to come
along he decided to live it up
with the wrong one.
As to where you go from here
— I get the impression.that your
son doesn't want to marry
Ernestine and I hope yoy. will
not • pressure hiin to deso. A'
marriage performed with a gun
inChe groom's ribs has a poor
chance , of survival. (statistics
show that teen-age marriages
with no baby on the way ,fail
four times as often as marriages
between couples who are over
21.)
s•
Your son must, of course,
support his child if Ernestine
decides not to go to a home for
un1 _mothers and put the
baby up' for adoi'fion -- which I
hope she does, for the baby's
sake as well as her own.
