TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN i A il] THE TORONTO S/N] SYNDICATE Paul must have wondered why he was all dressed up like this to visit a man with a camera. The not quite six-year-old managed his posing very well though he would probably have looked and felt more his small boy self in a T-shirt. Slim, small-boned, Paul has big blue eyes, dark hair and fair skin plus a few freckles. He is in good health. Background in- formation is limited but his ancestry is thought to be Anglo- Saxon and Irish. Paul is an insecure little fellow who fears competition. His development is behind the average for his age. He attended kindergarten last year but is not yet ready for Grade one. Depending on what school he is to attend, he will need either to repeat kindergarten or to be in a reading readiness class. His foster family is active in their church and with them Paul enjoys Sunday School and church services. He likes to sing and carries a tune quite well. The Children's Aid Society feels it is important to Paul to have a brother several years older who would take an interest in him and whom Paul would want to imitate. It will be best if he can be' the youngest in the family, or certainly have no other children closer in age than two years. A mother and father who can combine firmness with tremendous warmth will find Paul a lovable son. They should be able to provide stimulation without constant pushing. The gains Paul made in the past year suggest he may be able to progress even further in the right environment. To inquire about adopting Paul, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K, Toronto.
