TODAY CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
David, 4 years old, is a healthy, slim, active boy with blonde
hair (even blonder in summer), blue eyes and fair skin.
He'attends nursery school with other children his age and
loves it, but is not expected to be able to go on in the academic
stream as he gets older. He will need special education.
Though David is below average in many ways, he does well in
daily living. He speaks clearly in sentences. He dresses himself
(he's very neat, objecting even to a shoelace being untied). He
eats well, accepting anything he is offered. He's a good sleeper.
A sociable child, David is not in the least shy, having a
friendly "Hi!" for everyone he meets. He gets on well with other
children and likes playing outdoors with them on his tricycle, in
the sandbox or preferably in mud!
David needs a family where he will be loved, where his
limitations will be accepted and where he will have the op-
portunity to develop to the extent of his potential. It will be best
if he can have brothers and sisters, older by at least four years.
To inquire about adopting David, please write to Today's
Child, Ministry of Community & Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information,
please contact your local Children's Aid Society.

News of Huron Hope School
(by Mrs. E. Scott, Principal)
Our Hallowe'en party last
month was a great success due
to the generosity of several
people, Mrs. Kayes, the Student
Services Co-ordinator for Huron
County bagged up some treats
and a jack -o -lantern and the
Grand Bend Lions' Club once
again remembered us with bags
of candy, We thank these people
for their thoughtfulness.
Nine pupils are now skating on
Wednesday afternoon at the
Huron Park arena. Mrs. Jaques
and Mrs. MacGregor accompany
the, .
Our high bowling score this
month was 150. Congratulations
to David Stebbins.
Our classrooms have taken on
a new look now that we are the
proud owners of new tables and
chairs. We had been using desks
borrowed from the McCurdy
School and are pleased now to
have our own.
We celebrated four birthdays
this month and had candles and
a small party for Michael, Cindy
Debbie and Jeffrey. Taking a
picture of the birthday child is
an important part of celebrations
and now that we have a Polaroid
camera we can see the pictures
within a minute.
Mrs. MacGregor and I went
with eight children by taxi to
St. Marys where we met Mrs.
Jaques and boarded the train
for London. Visibility was limit-
ed by the fog but there was a
lot to see once headed into the
city. We rented a locker at the
station for the lunch pails and
then each child bought a drink
at the CN restaurnat. We walked
in the rain over to the Welling-
ton Square Mall where Santa
Claus spoke to the children and
gave each a candy cane. Going
on the escalator was an exper-
ience for us all but everyone
managed quite well after a few
false starts. We took the elevat-
or to Toytown where the child-
ren saw the displays and decor-
ations.
Our lunches were eaten on
the train going back to St.
Marys. The children were all
very well behaved and we hope
they will remember this outing
as one of the high points of the
year.
The Lucan Legion will be
once again providing the Christ-
mas Party for our children on
December 21.
Plan course for dairy farmers
Labor pressure is the main
problem faced by Ontario's
dairy farmers. The agricultural
Manpower Branch of the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and Food
reports that they can't keep up
with the demand for qualified
help. Mrs. C.E. Johnson,
secretary to the Director of the
Branch, says, "The number of
requests for farm labor has
increased dramatically in recent
months, with about 85 percent
being calls for skilled and
semi -skilled help on dairy farms.
She adds that dairy farmers are
willing to take persons with some
basic training, such as is offer-
ed by the Dairy Herd Workert'
course, which will be available
in the Kemptville area again
this year.
The 10 -week course is offered
jointly by the federal Depart-
ment of Manpower and Immig-
ration, and ARDA and Agricult-
ural Manpower Branches of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food. It will start January
'7, 1974.
The program is divided into
two-week alternating periods
in the classroom and on the
farm.
