- SEPTEMBER 9, 1976 TERRACH BAY NEWS PAGE 15 TODAYS CHILD BY HELEN ALLEN RETR TER THE TORONTO 51) SYNDICATE Jack, just turned 14, was an above average student last year in Grade 7 so starts Grade 8 with a good record. He likes fo do well in school, but would like it still better if he had a mother and father to encourage and be proud of his efforts. Jack desperately wants to be adopted, but because he has suffered rejection in the past, he is fearful too. His adopting parents will need warmth and sensitivity to help him believe they really want him as their son. Irish and English in descent, Jack is a friendly, healthy boy with red hair, green eyes, fair skin and freckles. He gets on well with most people and is conscientious and responsible about doing assigned chores. Jack likes to be helpful devoting much of his spare time to volunteer work with senior citizens and children. His ambition is to work with children or perhaps be a doctor. He seems to have the ability to achieve, even in a career demanding years of study. : Jack will be a splendid son for parents who will share his in- terests and who can combine affection with firmness. To inquire about adoping Jack, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2.
