Mark is only two months old and he looks a little
" displeased at life. Perhaps it is because the photographer
arrived at feeding time and this little fellow doesn't like to
• be kept waiting for his meals. Mark is a healthy, normal
baby, developing well, of French, Scottish and English
' descent. His small frame is well -padded and he has blue
eyes, red hair and fair skin. He is alert and responsive,
smiling and cooing, crying only when he's in real trouble.
He is accustomed to toddlers and -,older children, so would fit
well into a family. This baby -has a good background with no
• ° problems. To inquire about adopting Mark please write to
Today's Child, Department of Social and Family Service.
Parliament Buildings, Toronto 182. For general information
about adoption ask your local Children's Aid Society.
Note to weekly editors: You, will" be glad to know that
,:-,.four little boys have found adoption homes' through your
papers since Today's Child made its first weekly appear -
a ance in March.

• No .respect
DEAR . ANN LANDERS:
Many things are changing in our
Society,, some for ' the better,
some fbr the worse. One of the
most obvious changes is the lack
'of respect for authority. We see
it everywhere. Just last week my
wife and I attended a wedding.
The minister asked the bride,
"Do you promise to love, honor
and cherish Jonathan?"• The/-
word
he/word "obey" was noticeably
absent:
When 1 mentioned this
omission to my wife she said it
was beeoming a common
practice. _What do you -think
about it, Ann Landers. - OLD

to know that reading your

deal. You use . simple words and
sentences which are not so long
that a person gets lost in them.
In a reply recently you used
the phrase, "feet of clay." Please
• tell me what this means and

have looked in the dictionary
under "feet" and "clay" and I
cannot find the definition.

It's nice to make a new
friend, but most members of
our species, the naked ape,
agree that old friends are the
,best friends,
Last week, I had the best of
these two situations, and I am
not only delighted but aston-
ished, to be alive to report' -it.
The only thing that doesn't
seem to be functioning is my
liver. Must be in better shape
than I thought.
It began with a three-day
visit from qur old friends, the
Traplins. We have one of these
reunions once a year, and it
usually takes a week to get
over thenar: -Trap and I joined
�tn� ai "f rce. together.`"'1eggy
and Suse ° have alwan got
along well because they have
the same interests.
They can talk for 20 v hours
"at a stretch. On Tuesday night
they went to bed at 8.15.
That's a:im. Know what they -
were doing? The university ac-
ceptance tests. They scored
very high. But they were a
little dashed when I- told them
that high school kids get 50
minutes to do these. It had
taken, them seven hours.
And you should hear them
playing duets on the piano at 4
a.m. One playing Galway Bay
and the other Tales From the
Vienna Woods. It sounds pret-
ty good until they begin to
sing.
Well, the Traps left, and I
settled down for a quiet day of
reading and recuperation.
Knock at the door. Another olcc
friend, Bill Hanna, all set to go
sailing. Apparently, though I'll
swear it never happened, we'd
had a long and involded tele-
phone talk setting the time
and the day.
,No way out, without being a
stinker. So I tottered off sail-
ing. A peculiar sport. It takes
an hour to get ready. This is
hard on a man who is dying on
'his feet. Then you float around
for a couple' of hours while the
skipper desperately ,tries to
catch a breeze no bigger than a
belch.
Then, suddenly,. there's what
we old sailors call a spanking
brecze,:and the skipper is hol•
lering at you to "cleat your'
jib" and "lug your lee" and all
sorts of nastyy things, and the
dam' boat is • hurtling along
with one side almost under wa-
ter and your beer has tumbled
into the bilge and you are won-
dering whether you can still
swim two miles._
Back home, . safe, late and
burned to a -cinder. Nodding
over • a late dinner and the 11
p.rn. news. Dobr-bell rings
Cheery young voice, "Anybody
home?" And you' go downstairs
and there's another old friend,,,_
petite canoe Sauve, ''and she's
brought you a beautiful rose
from her own garden. And yes,
she'll have a gin and a look at
the new bathroom and a two-
hour talk with Suse,
There was only one way out,
and I took it. I plunged off in
the car next morning for Uxbr-

Editors' annual golf tourna-
ment.
