TODAY'S CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN BL BE hg EB BE RE THE TORONTO 51 J} SYNDICATE Lenny is an engaging youngster with light brown hair, lovely dark eyes and fair skin dotted with freckles. Just turned nine, he is in excellent health, except for a heart murmur which is considered to be of no consequence. Lenny is a hyperactive boy, always on the go, though he has settled down a bit in his present foster home, Before Lenny came into the care of the Children's Aid Society, he had a number of moves. These. combined with his deprived background, have made school difficult for him. Lenny is now in Grade two, still having problems. But he likes school, is bene- fitting from remedial reading and did better last term than ever before. However, he is not expected to be a top achiever. Lenny likes skating and is especially keen on hockey. He learned to swim last summer. A family with other children, older or younger than Lenny by several years, will be ideal for him. Lenny would like to main- tain some contact with a younger brother who has been adopted. To inquire about adopting Lenny, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For general adoption information consult your local Children's Aid Society. . A LIVELY BOY J i .°S 1 |
