THE TORONTO
11 SYNDICATE '
Standing straight and tall in his new crocheted suit is Davey,
almost two years old. Ile is an Ojibway Indian child with big
brown eyes. black hair and dark skin.
• Davey is sturdy, boisterous and very active, apparently in
excellent health. Burhe has a .rare hereditary condition, Von
Recklinghausen's disease, which is characterized by smooth
coffee colored. spots on face,' chest. arms and legs. It has no
effect otherwise on him at present but its implications are
unknown. however, his natur'tal mother who has the same
disease, appears healthy and well.
At present the feeling is that Davey will not be academically
minded, although he is alert and responsive to stimulation. Ile
has just discovered the telephone and is alway:s.the first to
answer it. With his limited vocabulary this may create puz-
zlement at the other end, but members of his foster family
understand and chat away tohini while he listens with absorbed
attention.
Davey is a vocal boy who laughs a lot, sings to himself and
tries to imitate everything said to him. \n affectionate
youngsters he Ioves.ut. chilar,Api. kl' be ail'
�s friinds gtiickF ')gut' is tiniid with new peopltr..`he likes
men better than women. He has a robust -appetite and sleeps
well.
Cheerful, noisy, lovable Davey needs loving parents who can
accept his medical historywithout alarm.
To inquire about adopting Davey, please write to Today's
Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2112. For general
adoption information, please contact your local Children's Aid
Society.
Dear Ann Landers:' Apparen-
tly you have embraced "The
New Morality" and I am bit-
terly disappointed., I refer to
your shocking advice to the 17 -
year -old girl who admitted that
she and her boyfriend were
having sexual relations and
then decided together that she
should go on the Pill. The girl
asked if she should tell her
mother, with whom she had a
cool relationship. Her fear was
that her mother would insist
she stop seeing the boy, which
she said would be. "im-
possible." Your advice was to
say nothing to her mother --but
to see a doctor and let HIM
decide whether or not she
should akberiwon the Pill. No word / w imxa lit:
.-..,...�.. " .y...,us.. ati, if the
girl were talking about taking
an aspirin for a headache.
I would now like to quote
some lines. from your booklet,
"Love Or Sex?" You wrote: "I
hope that one day you will
p know this exquisite experience,
the moment when you give your
most precious gift--yourself--to
your beloved in marriage. You
will be glad you waited and be
ever thankful that you refused
to settle for a shoddy sub-
stitute."
', What has happened to you,
Ann Landers?'Obviously a't one
time you had a high regard for
'virginity. When did you
change? ---Former Admirer
.Dear Former: Nothing has
happened. I havenot changed.
But -what purpose does it serve
to extoll the virtues of virginity
"to a, girl who tells you she is`
already having sex relations?

FILM DEVELOPING
Her question was, "Should I
• tell ,my mother?" My answer
was, "No. It would only lead to
a hassle." I did suggest that
she see a doctor, . however,
because the Pill should be ob-
tained only by prescription and
taken under medical super-
vision.
I realize this is my second
response, on the same subject
within two weeks, and I
apologize for being repetitious,
but I've heard from hundreds
of readers who need to be set.
straight.
Dear Ann Landers: My
mother-in-law had dinner at
our house last night. I had just
bought a new coat which I
decided to try on for' her
opinion~ te./. sarc _a ttlon '
NOT approval.
First, I should tell you that I
am 32 years old and 55 pounds'
overweight. I am ashamed of
myself for having gotten so fat,
but I've had several children
and gained from ten to fifteen
pounds with each one. Also I
work like a horse and eat like
one to keep my strength up.
To make a long story short,
when I put on the coat my
husband said, "You need a'
larger size. Look at how the
pockets pucker and the buttons
pull." My mother-in-law
chimed in, "Don't let her take
it back, Harold. Make her lose
weight. I will personally - give
her $2 for every pound she
takes off between now and July
4th,"
I resent the way ' they
discussed my weight problem•in.
my presence, as if I were an
idiot. I know I should get on a
diet but I hate the idea that my
mother-in-law is trying to bribe
me. Should I sell her'my fat for
$2 a pound or tell her, "No
thanks. I'll lose weight when
I'm good and ready."•••Too
Much Me
you call a bribe, your mother-
in-law meant as an incentive. If
you resent it, decline the.offer.
But for your sake, and for the
sake of your children, I hope
you get "good and ready" soon.
See your doctor about a sen-
sible diet immediately. A 32 -
year -old woman who is 55
pounds overweight has a short
life expectancy and is a
vulner.ble target for many
„ illnesses.

A man who was too cheap to subscribe to his,
hometown newspaper -sent his little boy to borrow"
his neighbour's copy. In his haste the boy ran over an
s80 hive of bees an°cttn 10 minutes he looked like a
warty squash: His father ran to his assistance, and
failing to notice the barbed -wire fence, 'ran into that,
cutting a hole in his anatomy as well as ruining a
pair of $20 trousers.'

fence and killed herself eating green corn, Hearing the
racket, the wife ran out, upset a four -gallon churn of
cream into a basket of chicks, drowning the` entire
batch. In her haste she dropped a s235 . set of .false
teeth, which the family dog buried thinking it was a,
new type, of bone. The baby, having been :left alone,
crawled through the spilled cream and into the -parlor
ruining a $250 carpet. , .m

off four fine shirts on the clothes line and the cat had
