T DAYS CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
fi
This sturdy young fellow with the merry expression
is Jerry, 19 months old. He needs to be adopted so he
can grow up in the loving security of a permanent home.
Jerry is a big boy with blue eyes, fair hair tinged with
red and fair skin. Ile is in good health with no known
hereditary diseases in his history. He's a happy child,
though occasionally displaying some temper when frus-
trated. A little shy with strangers, he doesn't take long
to make friends. Jerry loves other children, but can
amuse himself well when there is nobody to play with.
He likes music, singing along with records and always
ready to dance. This handsome little boy needs parents
who will welcome him on his own merits and who are
not demanding about background. To inquire about
adopting Jerry please write to Today's Child, Depart-
ment of Social and Family Service, Parliament Build-
ings, Toronto 2B. For general information about adop-
tion ask your local Children's Aid Society.
