That . happy smile belongs to Roy; an appealing three-
year-old, of Anglo-Saxon and West African descent. Roy is a
handsome boy with expressive brown eyes, black curly -hair
and bronze skin.
Sturdy and healthy, Roy has a pleasant personality -- so
------ pleasant that he is, spoiled in his foster, home. He has been
slow in talking and has a minor speech impediment. Doctors
say he has- not needed to talk_ because a:veryone . .seems to

Dear Ann Landers: Our

thing. I can say about Dora is
that she is harmless.

three years of age and I think
Dora is pregnant again. (No
brains either.) I have knocked
myself out for my
daughter-in-law but still she
doesn't like me. Whenever I bake

Family Health and Safety Concern of Brides
Certainly a new bride and• bridegroom should select as soon .,as
possible a family doctor who can become familiar with their medical
history and keep tabs on their
growing falnily.
Keep your physician's phone
number ou the telephone together
with any others you need in an
emergency — your pharmacist,
your fire and police departments,
and your local hospital...

Following are some - safety
rules for every homemaker:
1. Plan the contents of your irk siCFHC
Medicine chest. Keep medicines
—and toiletries in separate cabi-
nets, or, if they must be kept in
one cabinet, store medicines on
the upper shelves and toiletries
on lower shelves.
2. Divide the medicine section
into two parts -- one for medi-
cines that are to be taken intern-
ally, and the . other for those
medicines that are applied ex- .
ternally.,
3. Take inventory of the con=
tents of the cabinet at least once
every six months. Discard medi-
cines with damaged •or unread-
able labels. Flush discarded med-
cines down the drain. If you have
any doubt about discarding a
medicine, consult your physician.
4. Just as the manufacturer,
physician and pharmacist have
their responsibility in respect to
medicines, the use of medicinal
preparations involves responsi-
bility on the part of the user.
One important _thing to remem-
ber: Read the label,at least three
times when taking or givin_ g med-
icines to your family.

Summer floats by, as aimless
as., a cloud. Nothing seems to get
done,„ but we seem to be doing
something all the time. Last
week was no exception.
It's ' nice to live like . rich
people once in a while, be it ever

dulge in such sybaritic delights
as breakfast in bed.
It's hard to come down from
filet mignon and baked alaska to
hamburg and butter tarts, but
we always felt it' Was .worth it,
no matter 'hover long it took to
pay back the money we'd
borrowed to make like million-
aires.
This is against "the „puritan
ethic, but I've never regretted it.
I've seen too many people
postponing a real spree of a
holiday trip because they've
needed a new lawnmower, or
had just bought a new vadum
cleaner, or simply had to trade
in their car. Arid then, when
everything was finally righf for
the trip, Dad •discovered, to his
horror, that he had to have all'
his teeth out. Or Mother sudden-
ly needs a hysterectomy, And
the trip fades into never-never
land. Sad.

We had a cottage overlooking
the lake, had
a big fireplace and
everything else but the kitchen
sink, an item most women arequite happy to be without an a
vacation. Privacy, peace and
luxury, the perquisites of the
rich.
First. night at dinner, met an
old friend, from College.' Was
rather aghast when he told me
he'd recently married Susan Kee,
daughter of another old College
friend, He's more than twice her
age. "Dirty old man", I thought.
Was even , more confused when
he intrgduced his'8-year-old son,
Finally remembered he'd gone
into the ministry. What he
meant was that he'd performed
the marriage ceremony'. •
. Next day, into town for a
seminar on Creative Writing at
the Haliburton School of Fine
Arts. Naturally, the school was
overlooking a lake. There's hard-
ly anything else you can over-
look there.
Everything I know about
Creative Writing might fill the
back of a business card, but had
an enjoyable afternoon with

Atter the seminar, a visit to
