BY HELEN ALLEN
HE WANTS A BIG FAMILY
Armand is 13, tall and slim with blonde hair, brown eyes and
0 fair skin. He is in good health and wears glasses for
nearsightedness.
French Canadian in descent, Armand speaks both French and
English, so he could fit into a home where either language is
spoken. A bilingual family would be ideal, but most vital is a
family full of warmth and love.
Armand lacks confidence in himself so the best thing for him
would be if he can become somebody's cherished son in a setting
where he will have brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins,
grandparents. With all those people to love him he will certainly
begin to feel he is a worthwhile person.
Armand is a slow learner, now in opportunity class. He is
doihg better this year than ever before and will take an
occupations course in high school. He works well in school - with
a keen interest in woodworking, his ambition is be a carpenter.
Th °Ugh he has been a loner, Armand has recently joined
Scouts where he thoroughly enjoys the program and the
association with boys.
Since Armand Pon well with children of all ages, he can fit
into a family as the oldest, the youngest or somewhere in the
middle.
To inquire about adopting Armand, please write to Today's
• Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888,
Station K, Toronto fvf4P 2H2. For general adoption information,
consult your local Children's Aid Society.

&Urgently required.. The Girl
Gicides of Canada programme is
the only continuous programme
for girls in Canada from ages 7
through to age 18 - when
interested persons become
eligible for leadership. Leaders
and assistants are required in
order that the groups active today
in Seaforth do not have • to be
`closed'. Talented persons who
*mild occasionally teach crafts,
arts, music, skill, outdoor
subjects are especially required to
enhance the leadership given by
the adult in Guiding subjects.
Seaforth today has the
complete Guiding programme to
offer all girls. Brownies are ages 7
- 10; Guides are 10 - 14; and
Rangers are 14 - 16. There are
girls available for potential adult
leaders in the Brownie, and in the
/slide age group. Do these girls
have to be told "we must close
your group"?
This question was advertised in
the Expositor and a meeting was
held to decide this question - only
6 (I) interested parents turned
up! Why? There were no Service
