We slept in the same bed for years, shared the same teachers in school, spent our summers together at the fami- ly cottage, and fought furious- ly .about . such things as who was going to get the bike that 'day.

Seven m he is a happy, ,responsive, 'sociablc boy who goos and chuckles and laughs out loud and makes friends with every one he meets. Timmy is big, sturdy, healthy and very active, developing at a high average rate. He eats and sleeps well and is greatly interested in toys. He has big brown eyes, fringed by long lashes, scant fine dark hair and olive skin. All that is known *of his father is that he was probably part -Negro. His mother is white. He needs a warm, loving, active home with other children, and parents who will welcome him on his own excellent merits, without concern over hazy background information. To inquire about adopting Timmy please write to Today's Child, Department of Social and Family Serv- ices, Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182.

Saturday night we did evert better, getting caught up until 7.30 . in the Sunday a.m. And Sunday night we got caught up until 1.30 when, thanks to a merciful providence,, he had to leave to catch a bus to catch a plane back to Colorado Springs and the panic buttons. I learned a lot of things. That I still owed him $9 for' my share of the bike• That his only child has married, a very wealthy Englishman and has cars, dogs,: servants, the works. It's the only money in the en- tire family connection, as far as I know, but I can't see low I'm going to get my hands on any of it. And I learned (this is how close our family is) that a fa- vorite uncle of mine had died over a month ago. Uncle Omar had reason to detest me.

I live a comfortable, middle-class life, own my home, have a good job and only two rotten kids. No, he wouldn't touch it with a ten -foot pole. And perhaps that's why we get ,along so well. No envy, which can be a destroying ele- ment in any relationship. Just brothers who are completely different in outlook and tem- perament, but. retain- the ,warmth of childhood. affection and shared experience. Another reason we get along well, o' course, is that we see each other so seldom. There should be a lot more of -this '(that is, not seeing each other) among families. They'd last longer and finish stronger. But next 'time' he visits, I think I'll arrange. for a couple • of hospital beds in advance. We'd never make it through another weekend of "getting caught up."
