é& [ Cd L p) TODAY'S CHILD © ® BYHELEN ALLEN THE TORONTO 51) SYNDICATE Eddie, 14, is short, sturdy and healthy, Anglo-Saxon in descent. He has brown eyes, dark hair and fair, clear skin. He wears glasses for short-sightedness. Eddie"is an intelligent, outgoing lad with a nice sense of humor. He is going into Grade eight. Though high average in intelligence he has some learning difficulties and at present lacks a well developed sense of responsibility in regard to school work. Verbally he is above average and is a delightful, vivacious conversationalist. Eddie enjoys attention -- sometimes seeking it in ways which can be irritating to adults. At other times he will be con- scientious and helpful, obviously relishing the approval generated by this kind of behavior. Fishing is Eddie's hobby. He belongs to the YMCA and reads a great deal on a variety of subjects. ; Eddie needs a home where he will be the youngest family member and where the parents are warm, stimulating and at the same time firm. For such parents he will be a rewarding son. To inquire about adopting Eddie, please write to Today's Child, Ministry of Community and Social Services, Box 888, Station K, Toronto M4P 2H2. For further general information, please contact your local Children's Aid Society.
