HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1970-12-24, Page 51 4' 4' 4 Peter is a most attractive boy, 16'months old, of Scottish and Irish descent. He looks quite slight, but weighs 254 pounds, so he's a sturdy fellow. He has soft blonde hair with a slight curl, huge blue eyes, fair skin, and the irresistible smile of the picture. Peter was born very prematurely and had a lot of early health difficulties: He has long since overcome them, except for a tendency to colds, and seems to have made up for his prematurity. In infancy, ' Peter was diagnosed as having very mild cerebral palsy (which means loss of muscle control) in his left leg. It is exceedingly slight — he moves easily and naturally and is well co-ordinated. This is not a progressive condition, so it will not be more troublesome in the future than it is now. Peter is a healthy, happy boy, active and really strong. If someone leaves a drawer open he chins himself on it. He • has quite a big vocabulary and he loves music. He will be a fine son for a family wanting a handsome, cheerful, affectionate little boy. To,inquire about adopting Peter please write to Today's - Child, Department of Social and Family Services, Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182. For, general adoption information ask your Children's Aid Society. ti James Richardson `8 Sons Ltd 'Serving The Feed Dealers of Western Ontario PHONE 524-8388;• GODERICH Ann Landers, Information for the ‘cnts' DEAR ANN LANDERS: If you think my letter is too farrout to print} please think again, More kids 'are into LSD than adults realize. Some have had LSD slipped into their drinks without -knowing it. This is what happened to me. The following information is for every cat who attends rock festivals or hangs out with drug users. LSD takes about 45 minutes to "connect". Before you start tripping you'll feel a knot in the back of your head. It's a definite pressure. When . you realize you've been drugged, don't panic. Relax -and keep your cool. Don't go off alone. Ask someone in, the crowd to stay with you. Don't drive a car. Your sense of distance and timing could be distorted. Your vision is sure to be temporairly impaired. Don't look at •the sun. It might result in serious eye damage. You can- expect the average , trip to last about 12 hours. When you come down you won't remember where you went or what you did, so don't try. Be prepared for flashbacks. They are fairly common. This means an unexpected trip, weeks or even months after you've dropped acid. 'If you feel a flashback trip coming on, call a friend immediately. If you've .never had an LSD experience and are considering one, remember two things:_ First: Nobody know for certain what LSD does to people, or if the damage is permanent. Second: There is evidence that LSD has, in some users, altered the chromosomes and caused deformed babies. Happy. landings, Brothers and Sisters and good luck.. You'll need it, BUTCH (S. CAROLINA) • ;Dear Butch: May I add a word to your, letter? You are correct when you say no one knows for certain what LSD does to people, or if the damage is permanent. We DO know however that . _ LSD ., is . a hallucinatory agent and that it. often produces delusions of indestructibility. Dozens of acid -heads have walked out of windows and jumped off roof-tops*because they thought they could fly. Others have been killed when they ,stepped in front of trains and cars convinced they could stop • vehicles with their bare hands;. The damage resulting frorn such. acts as these is, of course, very permanent. DEAR ANN LAND "MS; What is wrong with apother Who puts Kool-Ade in herybaby's bottle instead of milk? My neighbor has been doing this since her baby was eight months old. She says; "Alfie. doesn't care for milk but he loves Kool—Ade." Last week I kept Alfie for an afternoon. My neighbor had, to attend a -funeral and her sitter didn't show up. When my back was turned Alfie got a hold of my baby's, bottle and drank every drop of milk. I, never saw a kid drain a bottle so fast in all my life._ 4, ")) Alfie is one year old and his mother fee, da him only baby food. He doesn't walk nearly as well as my child who is size weeks younger. Little Alfie takes a few steps and falls down. 1 don't believe the child's pediatrician_ knows any of these facts. Shotftd I call him and tell him? Please advise me. A TRUE FRIEND - Dear Friend: No. Simply tell Alfie's mother that he seemed to enjoy your child's bottle and perhaps she should try him on milk again. A few days later you might casually mention that Alfie may be ready for table food and suggest that she call her pediatrician for , more suggestions on , what _to feed a year old child.

If we are in- clined to be optimistic and cheery, we are .apt to begin wallowing in sentimentality. It seems to get me both ways. My natural skepticism hardens into a surly misan- thropy as the annual parade of gifts and greed, cards and carols, begins creeping toward me. Not to mention the holy old jump.in' putting up of the tree, my annual struggle to avoid insanity from frustra- tion, and hell from blasphe- my. But my natural optimism sneaks In, and once the dirty work has been - done, I wax sentimental to the point "of tears over the wassail bowl, the log in the fire, the smell of singed spruce needles, and the loved faces around me. Neither attitis..right.,of_ course. Both are base. Christ- mas' is a celebration. It should be neither cynical nor senti- mental, but joyous, in the real sense of the word. It could, and should be the one day in the year when we can creep closest ' to the warmth of the basic teachings of the man -god: love and peace. It should be a day marked by solemnity and jol- lity, prayer and cheer, It doesn't really have much to do with turkey and trimmings and tinsel, though these don't hurt -anybody. Nor does it have anything to do with the number of 'cards . you receive, or the value of the presents you garner. Indeed, two or three cards mean more to some people than two or three hun- dred to others. And a home - knit scarf from someone can mean more than a mink coat from someone: else. (Hoe my family doesn't read this Easy enough to say. what Christmas is not. It's more difficult to say what it is, be- cause it is intangible. -You can't reach out and grasp the spirit of Christmas. You must feel it. If you don't, you're dead, spiritually. Naturally, ;'children get most out or it» erhaps . it's. because they don't look for gimmicks, There is a wonderful coat* binatiop of, the . mystic and' the materialistic that entran- ces them, Little realists that they are, they are fascinated by the thought of goodies. They love the hide,and-seek aspect of gifts. Where's a great thrill in opening, the- stock- ings, and squeczing and rat - ding things under the tree, But they 'are ,equally en- chanted by 'the' aura that sur- rounds these material jollies. The carols, the pageants, the never -stale story of the birth in the manger, the very smell of Christmas: all these in- crease-theirinner excitement to thetibursting point. It's also a day when they can getaway with anything short of murder, and they know it, This year, after the big family—gatherings- -o-f- other years, we'll have a slim crew, but three generations. Granny won't be there, but we'll , thinking about her. There'll' be just Grandad and us and daughter Kim. (At time, of writing. We might wind up with eighteen.) There'll be early church. Then the opening of gifts, and thoughts . of son Hugh 1,000 miles away, and the smell of turkey, and music, and perhaps friends dropping in for a drop. There's too much talk about drop -outs these ` days, and not enough about drop -ins. We'll have a big fire arid lie on the rug, ,groaning, after dinner. I hope it won't be as lbi a; °fire ,.as last year, when my wife set hire to the• ever- greens on. the . mantel and nearly burned down the house, This ,all qualified by the word " hopefplly". it could be a complete schniozzle, like the year 1 dropped thepturkey on the kitchen Door, as (,took .it out of the oven. • But 1 hope it's' peaceful, "And 1 hope with all ray'heartr whatever your situation, that your Christmas will be blessed .bypeace and love.
