"He needs love"
The shy. beguiling smile belongs to Nevil, 18 months
old. As you see, he is a very handsome little fellow with
big blue eves, blonde hair, and rosy cheeks. His back-
ground is Anglo-Saxon.
Nevil is in good health except that his fair skin is very
dry. The condition is not apparent on his face, but his lit-
tle body looks flaky. Though the dryness does not bother
him at all, it means he cannot be washed with whatever
soap is in family use. llis skin must be eared for with spe-
cial oils.
This quiet youngster regards strange adults with suspi-
cion. Shen he feels comfortable with people, he likes to
snuggle up and be read to. lie is happiest when playing
with a little boy about the same are in his foster home.
Nevil is reaching his milestones at an average rate or
sometimes ahead. 1le walked at 10 months, for instance.
Ile doesn't talk much. but obviously understands every-
thing
verything said to hire.
This appealing baba will be a rewarding son for a fam-
ily who will give him lots of love and time to feel that he
really belongs. To inquire about adopting Nevil, please
write to Today', Child. Box 888. Station h:., 'Toronto. For
general adoption information, ask 'your Children's Aid
Society.
This frosty
fellow
brings our
holiday wishes
and many
thanks for
all your

Sleeper syndrome
feedlot problem
An outbreak of a disease
called "sleeper's syndrome"
could be a problem for Ontario
feedlot operators. A few cases
in Central and Western Ontario
are causing some concern.
A disease of the central
nervous system, the technical
name is Infectious Thrombo-
embolic Meningoencephalitis.
It was first diagnosed in Ontario
in 1908. It has been diagnosed
in cattle native to Ontario as
well as animals from Western
Canada.
Affected cattle vary in age
from 6 to 18 months. however,
the most common occurrence
is in 400-500 pound feeder
calves in the first month after
being brought into the feedlot.
Early symptoms include loss of
appetite, high body temperat-
ure, knuckling at the fetlock,
and the head held in an extend-
ed or elevated position. In
six to 12 hours these signs are
rapidly followed by inability
to sit up or to hold up the head,
and usually complete paralysis.
Total blindness is also common.
The relative incidence of
the disease is quite low, but
once the animal goes down,
death is almost certain. I low -
ever, if the animals are treat-
ed in the first stages of the
disease, recovery is rapid and
complete, except for some an-
imals which have varying deg-
rees of impaired vision.
Control methods greatly
depend on early detection.
Cattle treated with penicillin -
streptomycin or other broad-
spectrum anitbiotics will rec-
over if they are treated early.
There is no treatment once
the disease has progressed
beyond the early stages.
