Chubby and cheerful
Tony is a cheerful baby, much interested in his sur-
roundings. He is fascinated by moving objects and was
completely absorbed when the picture was taken by the
antics of two pet kittens in his foster home.
Tony is almost eight months old. He is making good
progress in all areas, though not quite up to his age level
in development because he was born very prematurely. He
has had none of the health problems sometimes associated
with prematurity. However, there are some abnormalities
in his nervous -system reflexes and in the muscle tone of
his legs. These symptoms suggest cerebral palsy (lack of
muscle control), but it is too early yet to tell.
In the meantime, Tony is a happy boy, alert, responsive
and playful. He is chubby and sturdily built, in good
health. He has a real United Nations background -- Eng-
lish, Irish, Scottish, Dutch, and German. Thane big eyes
are blue, his hair is blonde with a little curl, and he has
fair skin.
This baby needs parents who will enjoy a lovable little
boy and who can accept the possibility of Cerebral palsy.
To inquire about adopting Tony, please write to Today's
Child, Department of Social and Family Services, Parlia-
ment Buildings, Toronto 182. For general adoption infor-
mation, ask your Children's Aid Society.

September is bass weather,
and last Saturday I had one of
the most interesting bass -fishing
jaunts I've ever enjoyed,
My old Russian billiards part-
ner, Captain Dalt Hudson,
called about noun and asked me
if I'd like to go out for a little
fish.
The situation was a little
tricky, as it was my wedding
anniversary and I thought may-
be I should stick around. But
the Old Battleaxe and I had had
a big fight the night before,
and she had told me not to
come sucking around with a
bunch of roses or anything else
to mark the occasion, or she'd
throw them in my face.
Even so, I had the decency
to tell her that Cap wanted me
to go fishing. "Go ahead!"
she snarled, and burst into tears.
Many a man would have
been unwrung, but I steeled my

heart, tip -toed around gather-
ing my gear, and prepared to
make a dash for the back door.
She was weeping silently now,
trying to make me feel like a
heel. She failed. I hadn't
been fishing all summer.
"And don't bother coming
back!" she fired at me as I
snuck out. Picked up the skipper
who had a basket full of worms,
and down to the dock.
He has a fine boat. Cabin,
inboard motor that runs like a
Cadillac, and seaworthy as
the most frightened old maid
could wish.
It was a beautiful, sunny
September day, and I was in
good hands, those of a retired
captain who had sailed fresh
water and salt for about fifty
years.
We had a pleasant run up
the bay about ten miles, and
arrived. "See that little reef, "
he said. "We'll anchor about
150 yards sou -sou -west," I
slung in the anchor, doubting,
as I always do when I go out
with someone who knows the
"sports, that there would be
a bass within five miles.
We had a quarter bet on who'd
catch the first fish. Dalt was
telling me how to tie my line
and fiddling around filling and
lighting his pipe. I tossed my
bait overside and whacko,
before he'd got the pipe lit, I
had a dandy, about 2 1/2
pounds.
It was one of those days you
remember. We sat in the sun anc
bartered lies about the days
when we sailed the lakes. His
lies were much more pictures-
que than mine. He told of
strikes and storms and colorful
characters. I told about scrub-
bing out lavatories.
Finally, we had our limit and
it was time to go. The Captain
turned the key to start the eng-
ine. Total silence. Dead battery
I wish I had a movie of the
various expressions of the Cap-
tain's face. There couldn't be
a sound track with it, though,
because he was blistering the
paint right off the deck.
We were only about 500
yards offshore, so we started to
paddle. It was like paddling
the Queen Mary. Two feet
ahead and the wind would push
us three feet back.
We were lucky. We could
have sat there all night, anch-
ored, because the place was
rife with reefs. But there was
one boat in sight, fishing just
offshore. The only sign of
human life in that vast bay.
The skipper made a megaph-
one out of a chart and hollered
at them. They waved. We
beckoned them. They waved
back, friendly as you could
want.
The rest of the story is anti -
climatic. They finally realized
we were introuble. The chap
in the other boat went to his
cottage for a booster battery.
It didn't boost. He towed us,
ignominiously, to his dock, a
14 -foot skiff towing a 30 -foot
queen. Cap muttered all the
way in. The shame was almost
unbearable,
We got home about 10 p.m.
and I thought my wife would be
out of her mind with worry.
She wasn't. She was just
out, visiting friends. I tracked
her clown and craftily brought
a big plastic bag with twelve
bass in it, offered all they
wanted to the housewife, and
she cleaned the whole lot.
It was a grand day, but the
moral is: never go fishing with
an expert.
