TODAYI. ciIiio
BY HELEN ALLEN
You can tell from this expression that Earl is a real flirt.
This young fellow of Anglo-Saxon descent is 19 monthsold, a
charmer with blue eyes and strawberry blond curly hair.
Earl is a jolly boy himself and likes to make people laugh
with comical expressions and antics. He is right at home
with children and animals. Not in the least shy, he will`
smile and chatter with anyone who will pay attention to
him. Earl was born prematurely and is therefore a bit
behind the average in development. Until recently he had a
good deal of respiratory trouble and still has a definite
wheeze. He needs a warm, stimulating home with parents
who will not be concerned over his health and will be patient
• while he catches up on his prematurity. It would be ideal if
• he could have brothers and sisters in his permanent family.
To inquire about adopting Earl please write to Today's
Child, Department of Social and Family Services, Parlia-
ment Buildings, Toronto 182.

Morons need
DEAR ANN LANDERS. It is
a ' known fact that a • lot of
morons in. this country don't
read anything but the funnies
and Ann Landers. Please print
this letter and help save tide
sanity of thousands of TV and
ytereo service repair people from
coastlito coast. The message is as
follows: •
Dear Mr. and Mrs. J. Q.
Public: When you buy a TV or
Hi Fi or Stereo covered by a
warranty, it means you are
guaranteed against
manufacturing defects. It does
not guarantee the set against:
(1) Children who like to take,
things apart.
(2) Adults who think they can
fix a delicate piece of equipment
by knocking it with a hammer.
(3)' Spilling drinks and
dropping food in the

middle and lousing up the cycle,
(5) Drunks who shoot bullets
into the picture tube because
they don't like the program.
And another thing — service
companIe , in order to get paid
for their work, must send the
warranty to the manufacturer.
This means the customer must
present his bill of sale and the
warranty. Half the folks say thel r
are sorry but they threw out
everything with the' wrapping;
When we try to explain why we
need these things they get mad
and `call us the dirtiest names
they can think of. (Women are
worse than men.)
Please, Ann, Christmasis
coming. Pass the 'word NOW. —
END OF MY ROPE
DEAR' END: Here is some
help
more rope — tie a knot and hang
on.
DEAR ANN LANDERS: I am
one of those exceptional people
you .have read about. No, I am
not bragging. I are simply stating
a fact. I have ESP. I've been
aware of it for about three years.
The young man who has been
taking me out would like' to
marry me but he is too shy to
ask. I have these vibrations
which are unmistakable. Should
I help him out by telling him I
know what he is thinking? —
LULU_
-DEAR LU: I would not be so
presumptuous as to advise a
person who can read minds. I
have only five senses and I'm not
too sure about them. I do know
this, however: most shy males
cannot tolerate too much
pushing, so cool it, Lu.
Teach your children respect for ''medicines, says the Council- on Family Health in Canada, a
non-profit organization sponsored as a public service by leading members of The drug industry to
encourage home safety and family health. Never tell your children medicine is 'like candy."
Explain that it is a necessary aid to good health. And always read the label three times — once
while the medicine is still on the shelf, a second time when it is in your hand, and again when you
replace it in its proper storage place.

Don't know how things are
around your way, but there's
little doubt that we're going tc
have a white Christmas around
here. Winter came in like a
polar bear with a toothache,
and I went off - to work on
December lst as though it was
mid-January. Prayerfully.
That is, wade through .six
inches of fresh snow, pray
,fervently as'I try to start the
car, breathe another little one
of thanks when it goes, close
my eyes and bomb backward
down the driveway, muttering.
another supplication that .I'll
•make the road, and then send
up another few words of grati-
tude because I'd got my snow
tires on the day before.
One . creature who despises
the whole business as much as
I is our cat. It was bad enough
for her before the snow came.
Huge tomcats, black, white and'
piebald, littered the yard, and
she'd sit on the picnic table,
spitting and snarling at them
with an air of chastity and
virtue that is seldom seen
these days.
She was in command of that
situation. But when I chucked
her out into half a foot of
snow, her first experience of
it, she almost went out of her
head.
Skiers are delighted, of
course, and that other insidi-
ous new breed, the snow=mobi-
lers, are beaming all ever their
big, fat, red faces. ,
It's not enough that we
should have our summers
ruined by half-wits in motor
boats and on motor cycles,
tearing around polluting the
wader and the air, destroying
the peace and endangering not
only their own lives (who
cares?), but those of eery -
body else within ramming. dis-
tance.
Now we have their winter
counter -parts. I can tolerate
the snow -mobile as a handy
tool for work, or for getting
from one place to another un-
•
der ,difficult conditions. But I
haven't much time for those
ly revel in the
`of power, and
ined and of -
a menace to
everything in or out of sight.
I'll bet poet Robert Frost is
glad he's dead. Imagine trying
to .write a h 'autiful, haunting
thing like stopping By Wooas
on a Snowy Evening, today.
Some moron would . come
charging out of the woods on a
snow -mobile, frighten the
horse, and the putt would wind
up in a snow -drift.'
I suppose I mustn't get
churlish, with Christmas ap-
proaching. Rut if any ' snow-
mobile manufacturer thinks he
can bribe me into reversing my
stand by sending me one of
these infernal machines for
Christmas, he's mistaken. I'd
send it right back. In April.
Hope you're in better shape
with your Christmas pPepara-
tions than we are. Every year,
at our place, the last week or
so is about as organized as an
Irish cattle sale.
But I'll bet you despise, as
much as t do, those aseptic
souls who buy their presents in
September, have their colored.
lights .. out in November, and
mail their cards on the first of
December.
There's something about
people like that that irks me.
They're of the same species as
those who work with a clean
idiots who mere
• noise, the sense

and smirk, "No thanks, I don't
smoke," when you offer thorn it
fag.
Perhaps the reason X can't
stand them is that I hate nil►- -
`'self. My desk loops like a bar-.
gain counter after a sale. I lose
gloves, rubbers, hats, and im-
portant papers. 1 forget impor-
tant things and remember triv-
ialities.
One -of these is buying
clothes. I'd rather go into the
jungle than a clothing shop. I
.have one suit, for all occasions,
one two-year-old jacket, one
pair of flannels with a hole in
them. I have an old 'trench -coat
about as warm as a silk nigh-.
'tie, somebody else's rubber
boots, a pair of gloves with
hetes in both thumbs, and a
golf cap for winter headgear.
So I shall leave this column
lying about ostentatiously until
Christmas. Maybe my family
will rehabilitate me, at least
outwardly.
However, I'll have about the
nicest Christmas present I
can think of, and it won't be
wrapped. I'll have my ' dearly
loved daughter home for the
holidays.
