Who could help being attracted to this handsome boy? Anglo-Saxon in background, Donny is 10 months old, tali and sturdy with olive skin, brown hair and long, thick lashes. He is a cheerful child who welcomes attention with laughs and squeals. Donny is not very ambitious about trying new things. He will sit alone, but doesn't like to stand, and so far he has shown no inclination to crawl. His health is good and one glimpse shows you he is a hearty trencherman. Donny needs warm, loving parents in a home where he will receive stimulation without pressure for academ- ic achievement. To inquire about adopting Donny please write to Today's Child, Department of Social and Fami- ly Services, Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182.

Car Care is no longer just a personal whim for your own convenience but affects every other person in your community. With every conscientious person in this country vitally concerned with the environment, the engine has undergone close scrutiny. It has become fashionable to criticize the auto- mobile maker, casting complete blame for air pollution on his shoulders. Yet, car makers have already reduced pollution 65% to 80% since 1960. And in the next few years harmful pollu- tants will be reduced to nearly zero, according to top auto- motive officials like General Motors' Ed Cole. But without conscientious maintenance on the part of the owner, no system can function properly. Studies show that an untuned engine, for example, spews as much as four times the rate of harmful emissions as a tuned one. The motorist's responsibility to his fellow man ex- tends even beyond this vital area. Keeping safety components in good condition is a sign of responsibility to your fellow motorists as well as yourself and your family. That includes tires, brakes, visibility items and a number of related systems. Maintaining your car so that there is a minimum risk of breakdown on a crowded expressway or street is another in- dication of concern. A sub -par engine that sputters to a stop on a crowded thoroughfare can cause inconvenience to thou- sands of other drivers. By keeping all of your car's components in good con- dition, particularly in the months of foul weather ahead, you make an important contribution to the health and safety of your country. And you can easily live up to your responsibility by taking your car into your favorite service outlet for its expert assistance. As the poet John Donne wrote, "No man is an islande unto himself." To make this "islande" more habitable, care for your car. Golden Glimpses Considerable water has gone under the bridge since Blue Water Rest Home last had a col- umn in the local Zurich Citizens News, but we are going to attem- pt to keep up to date on some of the happenings that take place within the walls. With the fall activities in full swing, the Slue Water Rest Home has been a hive of activity this past week. On Tuesday evening, the residents enjoyed their weekly film night, complete with lunch which was served following the pictures. The films shown were The Bayman, portraying the Fisherman's Life in Newfoundland Summer on a Quebec Farm, and. Across the South Pacific, These films are being sponsored from now until December through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Turnbull. Maybe some of our readers will feel they would like to help along with this project during the winter months. We rent these films at a nominal fee through the Huron County Library. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Blue Water Rest home held their regular monthly meeting in the Hobby Shop on Wednesday even- ing, and by the reports given the staff the next morning, the res- idents were delighted with the program they presented. On Thursday afternoon, they provid- ed cars and took the residents for a tour. around the countryside to view the lately autumn scen- ery. They all thoroughly enjoyed this outing, and I am sure would like to join in to say thank -you to the members of the Auxiliary and especially to Mrs. Leonard . at BWRH Erb, Miss Meda Surerus, Mrs. Connie Risi, and Rev. A. Black- well for taking time out to drive their cars and make this outing possible. The residents have been play- ing bingo on Thursday evenings for the past few weeks, We ap= preciate the assistance that the auxiliary are going to give the residents who enjoy this game. The fall program in the Hobby Shop has started now, and Mrs. Norma Siebert has begun her duties as Craft Room Supervisor, and we feel that it will be a busy spot during the months ahead. The Tuck Shop is being successfully operated by some of our Residents who do a good job of drumming up business. We entered a small flower float in the Zurich Fall Fair and were very pleased to have it win first place in it's class. A great deal of the credit is due the residents who worked so hard to make the numerous flowers required to decorate it. On Tuesday evening, October 20, we have planned an evening of Scottish music and dancing to be provided by talent from Sea - forth area, and a visit to Scot- land by film. We hope to begin this program around 7 p.m. This is an apportunity for you to visit with the residents, and enjoy an evening of entertainment as well. See you next week. 0 About 60 million persons in the world are threatened by yaws, a crippling disease. For 2Z¢, UNICEF provides the penicillin to cure a child of yaws. Savings Bonds Now on Sale The phrase "how's the market?' has become a household expres- sion among Canadian investors. In the face of changing market conditions, Canada Savings Bonds represent a stable method of in- vesting .and saving to several million individuals across the country. A large segment of these people buy their Canada Savings Bonds each year through the Pay- roll Savings Plan at their place of work. Since the money is auto matically deducted from a per- son's wages or salary before he receives it, the temptation to forego the usual regular savings deposit is eliminated. Experience has proven that a definite savings plan brings more positive results than good intentions. A case in point; an executive going "broke" on $25, 000 a year discovered that not only could his family not live on his salary, but he was going into debt at an average rate of $2, 000 annually. The root of the problem lay in the haphazard manner in which he was approaching his debts and attempts at saving. Another case in point: a young draftsman who is support- ing his wife on $4, 900 a year; who by living modestly managed to save $400 last year through the Canada Savings Bonds Pay- roll Savings Plan. Not only is he living within his rreans, but he is planning for the future. Saving money by this means eliminates "hit and miss" efforts by individuals attempting to achieve a savings objective.
