Ronny's- personality is just as appealing as his looks, and he wins friends everywhere ,he goes. He loves other children. He, is a bubbly boy, extremely active and . obviously well co-ordinated. Though he is a lively youngster, he likes books and can sit still if there ares pictures to look at or if somebody will tell him a story. Ronny is in good health, though he is on precautionary medication because 'cif three convulsions he had as an infant. This is fairly common among young children and the treatment is standard. The need for it usually disappears as the child gets older. This lovable little boy needs young, active parents who are not concerned about background, but will welcome him on his own merits. He should be the youngest in the family so his parents will be able to give him a great deal of love and attention. - To inquire about adopting Ronny please write to Today's Child, Department of Social and family Services, Parlia- ment Buildings, Toronto 182. For general adoption informa- tion ask your Children's Aid Society.

We atheists resent it. I don't know where you stand on the subject 'of religion and I don't care. And another thing — if yap are offended by this letter, please don't call me Bub or Buster, because THAT offends me. --- SAN JOSE DEAR 'SIR -..OR YOUR ROYAL ' HIGHNESS: I rather like being blessed when I sneeze and 1 'Invariably iiless . other sneezers. So far no one has objected. If you happen to sneeze in my . presence and I bless you, please let me know you're 'the guy who wrote the letter and I'll take it back. I'd hate to waste a perfectly good blessing. DEAR ANN LANDERS: Last week our cat had kittens — five of the cutest little things I ever saw. Daddy said we couldn't keep there because they were too much trouble. I offered them to our neighbors but they all said .no thanks. It seems like everybody who lives around here who likes cats has got one or two of°'their own. Three days ago Daddy put the kittens in a gunny sack, took them to the lake and drowned them. I begged him not to bu't he said he had to get rid of them some way and drowning was painless and quick. The mama cat has been looking all over the house for her babies ever since. It is just heartbreaking to see her go from room to room. • I think it is cruel to kill any living thing: Daddy says when I grow up I will change my.mind, Will I? — WILLISTON, N.D. DEAR WILL: I hope not. Surely your dad could have found a farm family in your area who would have taken in a few mousers. I'm Isprry he didn'.t try harder .to find a home for the kittens. • HAVE YOU BEEN To The BURGER BAR YEI? Are you in favour of the establishment within the' Town of Goderich of a municipally operated camp and trailer park to be situated on the South Harbour Beach? BY-LAW No. 40 OF 197A 'OF THE. TOWN OF GODERICH A By-law to authorize the taking of a vote by the electors on the question of the establishment of a municipally operated camp ground in the Town of Goderich. - DEAR ANN LANDERS: 1 rnararied a woman with a 16 -year-old daughter. In spite of her mother's bragging, Doreen is immature and -• irresponsible. I was assured she could be trusted with her mother's charge plate but such is not the case. For the past two months our bills have been out of this world — sweaters, blouses, hose, shoes, two wigs, jewelry'. Doreen says she let her best friend "borrow" they plate and she charged some things "unexpectedly" bit she'll pay us back when she can. Three weeks ago my wife and I had' an argument when Doreen took my car without permission on a Sunday morning. She put 140 miles on it, brought it back with a dented fender and less than two gallons of gas in the tank. My wife said I should have reprimanded her in a low voice instead of yelling. She decided to "punish" me by moving to the other twin bed in Doreen's room where she has been for the past 11 nights. Doreen . takes fiendish delight in this arrangement and I am boiling. The girl wants to go away to school next term. Her mother is reluctant to send her. Would this solve the probleni? -- IN DEEP DEAR IN: The problem isn't. the girl. It's her mother. She has spoiled • Doreen rotten and turned your home into an armed camp. Moreover, a woman who would withhold sex to punish her husband pegs the marriage at the prostitution level. Insist that your wife go with you for counseling. If she refuses' -- fight this situation with your hat.' Grab it and run. Q 1OLD IT, SUZIE ! TODAYS MEDICINES AR.E- porgNT ARE YOU SURE TNAI-5 TNE.

GODERICH- BUILDING ' r CENTRE Cambria at. Anglesea Each Iifc .some sun By Bill Smiley It's one of 'those-�gk only November days, with ' the overcast so low that even the birds are walking. 1 have a month's corres- pondence to catch up on, three weeks of essays to read, and a week's leaf -raking lying in the back yard. My wife has pain in her belly and is going to have -the liying-room' redecorated. I don't know which alarms me more. My daughter is in the next ' room, writing an essay on Nietsche, an appalling___pros- pect. Asked her how it was going and she • said pretty wells but that she had an idea what she was writingwas a lot of crap. Two of my colleagues lost their fathers unexpectedly on the weekend. An her is in hospital having X-ra on his stomach and hopi g it's. "only" an ulcer. Outside my littl world lies a Canada deeply t oubled by pollution, an .0 employ- ment figure that is alarming, and the freedom o he ind'- vidual under the new govern- ment legislation for the pre- vention revention of violence. And outside that world again is the big one, a seem- ingly- hopeless mess of popu- lation explosion, food short- ages, wars, suspicion, despair and poverty. Oh well, what the hell. You only go through the course once. It's the only life we have, and however bleak it seems, there are always a few rays of sunshine. • Looking on the positive side, it's not so bad. The cor- respondence, ,essays and leaves will eventually be dealt' with. The living -room will be decorated, which will cure my wife's pains in the belly. My daughter will get a C -minus on her essay and blame me for it, but it won't kill her. We all have to lose our fathers sometime, and maybe it will be anly.an'ulcer, which is practically the trademark of a sensitive person these days. There's not much I can do about pollution except bag-, ging my leaves instead of burning them, and continuing my refusal to use throw -away bottles, 1 can't ..do a darn thipg about unemployment except set a kid to rake my lawn, and Eve tried, and they aren't interested. And there's little 1 can do abbut individ- ual freedom except demand it in this column, whish I shall continue to do, and the government had better not start m a:keying around try- ing to censor me. As for the world,. it's al- ways been a . mess. Human beings seem to enjoy living in messes of their own making, unlike other animals. Perhaps that's why sq many kids are on drugs today. If we tried to .force drugs 'on. them, they'd rebel violently. " And those rays of sunshine ,do appear. The other night at a party, a lady friend was being embraced rather amorously by a middle-aged gentleman who had been into the grape. 'She appealed to rne, wide-eyed, overhis shoul- der. As smoothly as a fight referee, I broke up the clutch and simultaneously prevented the gentleman's. wife from punching him on the nose. The first lady later told my wife that I. had the polish and poise of a European man. My wife thought it was a compliment. Considering some of the European males I have known in my life, I thought it an insult. However, a ray ofr sunshine, though rather murky. I got another one this week, when a friend de- scribed a confirmation cere- mony in a local church. The Archbishop himself was there, aid- it was a big deal for all. The Arch was asking the children •what they had learned in their training for confirmation. They provided appears ,the stock answers which they . had learned faithfully. .. Hoping, to probe a, bit deeper, he asked one little guy what else they had learn- ed. The lad muttered some- thing. The Arch looked rathex surprised and asked him to re- peat it. Loud and clear, the kid said: ""We learned to commit adultery." " Apparently, the whole church broke up, including the Archbishop. So, into . each life some rain must fall. But, at least until the Judgement. Day, we can always hope for those rays of sunshine. The Argyle Syndicate ro4 MANY G/RLC MA; A WO/kt4NT WORk/SDONE, WHEN T/iEYSWEEP DOWNTNUIiYES.
