Bertie needs a mother and father and he needs them soon because' he must move from his present foster home. The Children is Aid Society is most anxious .that he move only once — to a permanent *pea Anglo-Saxon, Indian and French "in descent, Bertie has bro'n eyes, dark hair, medium complexion, and, as you see, an engaging ;dimple. He is an appealing, gentle little boy, who takes it for granted that strangers will like him. He is easy-going, affectionate and fun -loving, and always anxious to please. He will be entering Grade 2 in the fall. Bertie is a healthy boy who likes' playing cowboys and Indians, loves working with his own told kit and •is proud of his newly acquired 'ability to read. He needs a loving, stimulating home where there are no children close to him is age. It would be ideal if he could be an only child or big brother to a toddler.

Children who are unwanted and unloyed don't have much of a chance. George Bernard Shaw was right when he said, "Parentage is ' one of the most important professions of all, yet test is ever imposed in the terest of children." - DEAR ANN LANDERS: My girl friend and I pay $100 a . month for one sleeping roorfi with twin beds, and a small sitting room. We share a bathroom with two girls who live across the hall. DEAR ANN LANDERS: I never stand if I can sit, never sit if I can lie down, never run if I can walk and never walk if I can ride. I am 51 years .01d, hate exercise and am ten pounds overweight. I feel terrific an41 am not trying to win any beauty contests. I have . a wonderful husband who thinks I'm just right. My doctor says my health is excellent'. I enjoy food and don't deny myself anything, My best friend is a health nut — does calisthenics daily and rides a bicycle everywhere. She says even ten pounds of excess weight can be dangerous. How important. is -diet and exefeise to a person who wants to live a long time? — CURVEY AND CONTENT DEAR ` C.C.: Diet and *exercise are important, but other factors are equally important. The secret of longevity is to pick the right ancestors. OM: My fiance . goes to night school and works in an office " during the day. To help him out, I iron his` shirts.

And what does the Beautiful, silvery, chaste goddess turn out to bei An -old. hag-made-of- slag, ag--made-of- slag, with a bad case of, acne. Like most of you, I was glued to the television set for hours at a stretch, listening to inanities and profundities, �i tit experiencing the tension, r- ror and triumph of the c ('tial moments. I've lived through some har. assing experience: the Great Depression, World War -II and p.o.w. camp, the cold war, and . two teenagers. And I'n glad that I was spared to see those two fellows lolloping around on the moon.' It was something just to b part of the human race at that moment. vation appears more rational than flying half a million miles to pick up some rocks. But of course, as a scant look at history will prove, man has never been a rational crea- ture, though he often' prides • hiinself on his_ ,reason. Listening to all the learned scientists and humanists dis- cussing the birth of a new era for man, I seemed to gather two major impressions. 'Most people felt a combination of awe, pride and exhilaration. The sheer impudence of the feat was a thrill. Petty, ignoble man conquering the majestic moon. But the opposite feeling was expressed by a smaller, but intelligent and vocal group. They scorn the whole enter- prise and suggest that man should feel a sense of shame at spending so much money, time, • technological 'skill and brains to accomplish such a "useles§s' mission, when - there are ' so many things here on earth which need the application of those ingredients • so mulch more.

He is curious. He wants ,to know whatis. around the corner or over' the next mountain. So dolumbus, with sublime gnorance, sailed off with three leaky boats manned by con victs, into the sunset. Scott and companions trudged the bleak' wastes of Antarctica, and died, after reaehing a chunk of ice called the South Pole, only to find that Kilroy had been there. History is interesting chiefly because of the mystic that is in man, and his • fortitude in searching' beyond the known. Take Magellan and Henry Hud- son and Samuel Hearne and Lindbergh and Sir Richard Hi- lary and a thousand othersout of your history books, and what have you left? A dull plateau, full of such soul -stir- ring events as the passing of the Education Bill of 1872, and such -like. That's all very romantic, of course, but we must be realis- tic. Is that why the Yanks "went for broke" in their ef- fort to get there first? Partly. fantastic feat They are a nation of immense pride and ability, with a flair for the dramatic. But there is no question that the race to be first on the moon had powerful political implications. - What a pity! What -a - tru wonderful stroke of manic' d • the moon trip would have ; 'en -- had -the. . team—preparing. -and ._ executing it been made :up; of a world, rather than a n Tonal, group of men, working without thought of power, propaganda or prestige! If the moon becomes merely a pawn in the power struggle among earthlings, who whole • thing was a pitiable failure. If man merely transports .. 'his greeds, aggressions and other assorted stupidities to the moon and beyond, there. is no hope for his future. But let's look on the bright side. By turning his aggressive spirit 'against the great cold, dark of the universe, the hu- man animal might stop rend- ing his fellows. By seeking out • the .mysteries of space, , he might be encouraged to seek into the mysteries of himself. By proving that the impossible' can be done, perhaps he will get cracking on the "impossi- bility" of solving earth's prob- lems. Whatever ' happens, nothing can detract , from the fantastic American feat, and the skill and courage of the first men on the moon.
