The Brussels Post, 1972-03-22, Page 4HAPPY PERSONALITY
Peter is a• lovable 10-year-old with an outgoing, friendly
disposition. He seems younger than his age, perhaps because
he comes from an extremely deprived background. It was
the sort of situation where a child is left lying in his crib
with nobody paying any attention to him.
This young boy was four before he learned to walk. Not
that he had any physical disability, but he had no oppor-
tunity, or encouragement to Ary. There were many other
skills he did not learn and things he did not know, so he
has never scored well in intelligence tests. Now in a good
foster home and in the stimulating atmosphere of a special
school he has shown marked improvement both physically
and mentally. The psychologist who has tested him is im-
pressed with his personality and feels he has not yet reached
his potential.
Peter is a healthy, good-looking boy of Anglo-Saxon
descent, with brown eyes and dark hair. Adults find him
good company with his easy conversation. He visits many
families in the vicinity of his foster home and he loves to
help the neighbors do chores around the house or garden.
He gets on well with children of all ages.
A sensitive boy, Peter needs a warm relaxed home where
there are no academic pressures. He can fit into a family
with children either older or younger than himself. To
inquire about adopting Peter, please wirte to Today's Child,
Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption infor-
mation ask your Children's Aid Society.

Pre spring
gardening
cleanup
While waiting for our gardens
to wake up, we can improve the
surroundings With little effort
says Russ Gomrne, horticultural
specialist. A plasc garbage bag,
a pair of gloves and a little
energy are the main ingredients
for a cleanup. Debris of every
kind has probably collected in
your garden over winter. A gen-
eral cleanup, followed by a light
taking of lawn areas and removal
of dead flower tops, will give
the garden a new look.
There are several other tasks
that can be done before planting
time. Broken branches of trees
and shrubs should be cut back
to larger branches. Apply a light
layer of tree paint to the open
cuts . Fruit trees can be pruned.
Remove suckers and weak
branches but do not prune away
more than 10' per cent of the
branch system.
Don't be in a hurry to remove
winter protection from flower
beds. Wait until the soil warms
up. Early spring heaving of the
soil can be damaging.
Now is a good time to order
nursery stock. The selection is
much greater in early spring. If
started early enough, you can also
try your luck, at growing your
favorite annuals from seed. Now
is a good time to pot up tuberous
begonias. And with stronger sun-
light, it's a good idea to move
houseplants to locations with sub-
dued lighting.
