He is proficient in swimming and baseball and he made first string on a hockey team two weeks after he learned to skate! Though Ronny never steps back from a challenge, he is a sensitive, warm, affectionate boy who will be a rewarding son. Ronny is a slender, well-built youngster of English and French ancestry. He has sandy brown hair, green eyes, fair skin and naturally, freckles. His general health is good but he has some nasal problems which may require surgery at maturity: He has a speech impediment which is being helped by speech therapy at school. If Ronny is attending an open school next term, he will be doing Grade two work in mathematics and language develop- ment and Grade three work otherwise. Though he has difficulty with reading, he likes books and enjoys reading or being read to. Drawing is another favorite activity and he likes any kind of crafts. Ronny needs warm, affectionate parents. They will not be able to place too high expectations on him academically, but can be assured of a loving son who will do his best at whatever he attempts. To inquire about adopting Ronny, please write to Today's Child, Box 888, Station K,. Toronto. For general adoption in- formation consult your local Children's Aid Society
