TODAYS CHILD
. BY HELEN ALLEN
`Tox'bntoTTelegram Syndicate
Brian looks as if he'd like to jump right out of that
walker and take off on his own. It won't be long till he can,
because this little boy, not yet 11 months old, can walk now
if he has something to hold onto. Brian is a wiry, bouncy
youngster with big dark eyes, brown hair, medium complex-
ion and an entrancing grin showing his fine new teeth. He is
a happy young fellow who enjoys other children and loves
exploring, especially in cupboards. This little boy has aller-
gies which make him susceptible to wheezy colds and for
which he is on a milk -free diet. Other than that he eats
everything. Ile is always good-natured and he needs parents
who will not be troubled by his diet restrictions or by his
sometimes raspy breathing. To inquire about adopting Brian
.please write to Today's Child, Department. of Social and
Family Services, Parliament Buildings," Toronto 182.
You will be happy to knovrP-that.since TODAY'S CHILD began,
in weekly papers last spring, 11 of the children pictured have
been adopted and are now settled in permanent homes. In
addition there are hopeful prospects for a number of others.

Help hairdressers
DEAR ANN LANDERS: Now
that you have befliended the
waitresses and the plumbers, will
you please help thethairdressers?
Our major complaints are as
follows:
1. Relatives and friends who
think -hairdressers love their
work so much they are.happy to
roll hair all night at home —
without -pay. These friends and
relatives also thin k 'supplies grow
on trees.
2. Customers who come in 15
to 50 minutes late and expect
you to throw out of your chair
anyone who happens to be
sitting in it because they are
running late.
3. Custorners who bring, their
own setting lotion and expect a
discount because all the operator
did was "twist a few curls."„ I
know a woman who brings her
own soap and thinks the should
be charged half price for the
shampoo.
-l. Customers who bring small
children to the shop and let
them run loose. The kids are
into everything, stumbling over
the feet of manicurists and
custorl3ers, bothering everyone
but their own mother.
5. Customers who come in
with pictures of Elizabeth
Taylor and Doris Day and want
to look like them. Most of these
women are practically bald and
their faces would stop an
eight-day clock.
I know *I m not a very .good
writer, Ann, so please fix my
English and print my letter.
Mr. Phyllis
I)EAR MR.: Your English
wasn't' rokrr.- i F',didn't have to
fix it. Thanks for a very good
letter.
DEAR. LAN DERS: I
address my remarks to, "Bitter
Fruits," — the woman who had
two children and hated being
tied down.- She referred to
mdtherhood as "a crock of
cranberries," and went on to say
— "I had my tubes tied just to
make sure I wasn't 'blessed'
again."
I hope she isn't depending
100 percent on those ties. I had
the same operation in 1955 and
five years later I was `blessed'
with twins. My husband wanted
to sue the doctor. I wanted to
shoot him. Now, nine years
later, we are so thankful that'we
have these wonderful boys. They
are the joy of our lives. But I.do
think you ought to let your
readers know it's possible for
those tied tubes to come untied.
— EXHIBIT A
DEAR A: You told 'em
hone' — in a way I never could.
Thanks much.
DEAR ANN LANDERS:
What do medical men say about
the changes in behaviour
resulting from too much
alcohol? Do they belie liquor
brings out the worst in -a'person
or the best? It's important that I
get an answer soon because the
man I am planning to marry is
actually two people the
thoughtful, considerate, sweet,
gentle Jack — when he is sober —
and the uncouth, mean, rotten
Jack when he is under the
influence. Will the real Jack
please stand up? — DOUBTFUL
THOMASI 'A
DEAR D. T.: Liquor does not
"change" people. It disengages
that part of the brain which acts'
as a censor, removes , the
inhibitions and exposes 'the
primitive, naked personality
with none of the refinements
imposed by society.
I'd say the real Jack might
have a harder time standing up
since he is the Jack under the
influence.

on F. .y Health
It doesn't require a high IQ
to realize that the world is
going to hell in a hurry. All
you have to do • is read, look
and listen.
Vietnam, that great canker,
continues to suppurate. There
is an explosion imminent in
the Middle East. China and
Russia are snarling at each
other in outer Mongolia or
somewhere. There are a dozen
qr more brush -wars in pro-
gress.
Then . there's pollution and
inflation and discrimination,
and high taxes and shortage of
housing. and student riots and
sexual freedom and drugs
"Among the kids, just to men-
tion a few other jollies.
Top this off with coronaries
and constipation, lung cancer
and livers turning to stone,
abortions and acne, ' and it's
hard to believe the ragged old
human race can keep it finger
in the dyke much longer.
As if that isn't enough, it's
November in Canada, a
thought to chill the spirit, cur-
dle the blood, make the bones
ache and turn one's thoughts..
to Hamlet: "To be or not to be;
that is the question."
Personally, I'd prefer not to
be, in November. But I haven't
the guts to commit suicide.
However, anyone who'd care to
finish me off is welcome.
November is a month that
should be deleted from the cal-
endar, by act of Parliament, if
necessary.
It's -given a perfect send-off
by the horrors of Hallowe'en.
This is kind of fun when your
kids are little. They're excited
and you're delighted. But when
they've grown up, and you
have an entire evening of
answering the doorbell and
smilingheartily at surly ur-
chins who sneer at , your Mc-
Intosh apples and snarl, "Hav-
en't ya got '.an$' I chocolate
hags?", its charm =fades a little.
Then there's everything else
that November brings. Snow
tires neglected ,until too late.
Storni windows ditto. Freezing
winds. Rain that turns to snow.
Last year's rubbers leaking.
Dirt tracked in.
•
The glories of autumn have
vanished. The pleasures of win-
ter are not yet. All you have is
a grey, ulcerous, dirty, sodden
spiritless thirty days of gloom
in which the sun seems to have
disappeared from the universe.
Pt's a time' for huddling by
the fire. E tcept that you've
forgotten , to get your winter
wood in. A time for reading
depressing poetry. ''A time-ufor
• grouching and grumbling. A
time for watching third-rate
TV and despising yourself for
wasting the time. A time for
AA's to fall off the wagon.
But we mustn't despair,
Must we, chaps? •We must be a
man for all seasons. Surely
there must be something good
about November.
Just as the human race
tackles, 'pollution, inflation,
population and all the ether
ailments mentioned above, we
must tackle November. We'll
probably be too late, just, -as we
are, with these items, but we've
got tto -'give it that old human
try.
Novetnber
is a
nightmare
Let's see. Well, there's Re-
membrance Day to brighten
things up. There are the
Christmas gift advertisements,
six weeks early, but very color-
ful. There's the annual wallow
of the Grey Cup game.
1 must admit that something
bright happened to me this
November. I had slept in Sat-
urday morning for a bit, got
up, looked at my lawn, , shud-
dered, and retreated to the
morning paper and coffee with
a substitute for cream.
Doorbell rang. "Dam' paper-
boy, collecting," I muttered,
but answered. Four fresh -faced
students, equipped with rakes,
Wanted to know if I'd like my
lawn raked. They were raising
money to take the local retard-
ed children on a couple of
jaunts.
Somehow, that little note of
warmth in a cold world did
wonders for me. They raked
the lawn, after a fashion, 'rang
the door -bell every five min-
utes to asi -for;" a, drink or the
time, and it cost Me ten bucks.
But it was worth it. Some-
body was doing something for
somebody. It gave me enough
strength to hang on for that
most welcome day of the year,
Nov: 30th, and the end of the
a► nual nightmare.
