AREA FUNERALS.
BY HELEN ALLEN
Just to look at five-year-old Jamie you know he's a lovable
child. with that appealing expression he has shining blonde
hair, fair skin, rosy cheeks, blue eyes and lovely long lashes.
Jamie's cheerful disposition stands him in good stead, for
he has a handicap that might spoil life for some children. This
little fellow was born with mild paralysis on the right side.
When he was a baby it was thought he might never walk or
talk, but now he walks quite well and though he limps a little
he does not need a brace. He may fall more than the average
child but he sturdily picks himself up and gets going again.
Jamie is inclined not to try to use his right. hand, but can
when reminded. Physiotherapy Is helping and so does the urge
to do things other children are doing. He is also having speech
therapy, because he was slow in speech. Now tests show Jamie
is of average intelligence and considering his handicap he is
developing normally.
Peppy Jamie likes to be on the go. He rides all over on
his favorite tractor, is interested in cars - real or toy - and
enjoys doing puzzles.
He is an affectionate youngster who still enjoys being
cuddled and he loves babies.
Jamie needs warm understanding parents who are ready to
learn his physio and speech therapy and do them with him. He
will always have a handicap, but loving parents can do a great
deal to handle it.
To inquire about adopting Jamie, please write to Today's
Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption
information, ask your Children's Aid Society.

How about a new
Texaco furnace?
Better late than never.
But better now
than later.
Remind yourself that it's time you replaced that old
furnace. A new Texaco forced air furnace is designed to
ensure the complete combustion of every last drop of
oil. And oil means the most heat for the least money.
