HELPING PAWS This mischievious, liny ball of fluff is available at 459-8844. She is a female, semi-long haired calico with white chest and tummy; loves children and dogs. By Carol Wilyat We may seem too persistent in listing some of the same animals week after week, but when a family is willing to take care of it because they believe the stray animal they took in is just too great to be puiito sleep, we do everything we can to find a home for it. Such is the case with a dog that was listed for about four months. She was found wandering the streets, very thin and hungry. Nanny is very ordinary in appearance, black and white with brown spots and floppy ears, but she has such a tremendous per­ sonality, we didn't feel she should suffer because she was born in an over-populated animal society. She has been adopted by a man who needed companionship. She's going with him in his car, for walks and just relaxing at home and we are so happy we could burst! Situations happen like this every day and we thought you might like to share this one with us. Dear Nanny has a home!!

Help Your Child Adust To Hospitalization A child in the hospital can have a frightening and lonely experience unless you, as parents, help him adjust to his new experience. How? First of all, prepare him for his new venture before taking him to the hospital. Children are like grown ups ~ what they fear most is the unknown. Consider what parts of the experience are the unknown and familiarize him with them. Check with the hospital beforehand and get a general idea of a patient's typical day. Discuss this with your child and then be prepared to answer all his questions FRANKLY. If he is going to have surgery, explain in simple terms what is going to happen; and if he should ask about pain, DON'T deceive him. The shock of being tricked by those he trusts can be worse than pain. Let him know it will only hurt for a short while, but that he'll feel much better when it's all over. Above all, never show fear. The jitters are catching! When you visit your child, don't discipline him. If anything, spoil him for a while. Normal discipline can be resumed when the child has returned home and is well. Bring him coloring books, puzzles, toys and if the doctor permits, his favorite cookies or cake. Let him tell you all about his experiences - his medication, the friends he has met, etc., and in turn, fill him in on the news at home. Remind him that you have fed his pet turtle or goldfish. When visiting time is over, don't make it an emotional parting - no tears or hysterics. Although your child may cry, nurses are trained to take care of such a situation. After a few days of the hospital routine, children normally adjust quickly and many even enjoy their stay. But MUCH depends on you. By preparing your child for this new "adventure", by abiding your doctor's orders, and by cooperating with the hospital personnel, you can make your child's stay a pleasant one. Not a psychologist, phar­ macologist or social scientist, Linkletter is considered an expert on experts in this field, having attended numerous drug seminars and expended much time with top drug authorities such as Dr. Daniel X. Freedman, Psychiatric department, University of Chicago. hard-to-fill shoes , . . b i g r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s n o w a n d big plans for the future needs a special kind of life insurance.
