ot tip C linic Melba has been made ecstatically happy by her daily newspaper! So scrapbook this case or mail it to all couples who want to adopt a baby (or have already done so). And be sure you memorize the diplomatic strategy below that shews how to inform a foster child of its adoption! By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE K-507: Melba M., aged 27, is excited.- "Dr. Crane," she exulted, "I give our daily newspaper full credit for making my marriage completely happy! "For I had never been able to get pregnant in all the 5 years we have been married. "Then I read your column about Helen West, the Presbyterian clergyman's wife in St. Louis, who wrote that book, 'Adopted Four And' Had One More.* "So I got the book at once and it was so inspiring that I cried over almost every chapter. "Then I coaxed my husband to read it, for he hadn't reacted very well to my suggestion that we adopt a baby. "Well, he was sold on the idea after he had finished Mrs. West's wonderful little book, and we soon found a baby boy for adoption. "But when he gets a little older, how can we best inform him of the fact we are not his flesh-and-blood parents?" ADOPTION DIPLOMACY Tactfully remind him that you foster parents merely "adopted" each other via marriage, though you are not of any blood kinship. For a wedding is just a public example of adoption by an' adult couple, who then find themselves feeling much more closely knit than they ever were to their own blood brothers and sisters, with whom they grew up from childhood. Dads, remind your adopted child that you deliberately picked it because of voluntary love. You WANTED it, much as you wanted your wife! Melba and her husband can thus reassure the little boy that they are all on the same footing in their little family unit. For they are all held together by the strongest bond on this earth, namely, love for each other or voluntary affection. This idea will banish the usual subconscious belief of many adopted ydungsters who feel they are not entitled to be admitted to that "inner sanctum" of the actual blood relatives. Buoy up your foster child's morale further by telling him that many of the world's most, famous men and women have been adopted children. Jesus was thus an adopted child! For the Bible tells us that Joseph picked Mary and her unborn baby as his own family, though Joseph was not the real parent of Christ. So Joseph voluntarily adopted Jesus, and proved to be a superb parent, too, for he helped teach Jesus the Ten Com- From This Day Forward.... go in love...so lovely a color candid wedding album by Gaylord, the second best man at your wedding, who will capture the story of your wedding in professional co/or, to preserve every memorable moment...at reasonable prices ( CAMHD FtOM THl WEDDING AlttJM OF Ml 1 MRS LEE BEACH ) by GAYLORD -vm "Tkt Rtcomaumdtd PUtttnpkrr" 385-0170 3812 W.

O Since carpenters develop powerful muscles, we thus know that yJesus must have had an athletic build, which probably helped attract other rugged hemen, including Peter. Alas, nowadays many people rely too heavily on that old maxim that "Blood is thicker than water." That's not true at all, for unless there is mutual respect and love, your flesh-and-blood offspring will sell you down the river. King David's own son Absalom thus tried to slay David to gain the throne! And the first pair of blood kin on this earth, namely, Cain and Abel, ended in fratricide!

(Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, enclosing a long stamped, addressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) Wed.

Ogilvie pledged financial aid to Illinois cities in a special message to the Legislature recently. He called for passage of home rule bills "designed to begin the freeing of our cities. "The state must insist that any increase in local government autonomy or revenue granted to the city of Chicago be coupled with the assurance that local services will be administered more efficiently and economically than ever before," said the governor. He demanded a modern civil service system that would eliminate patronage jobs in Chicago. The governor said specific revenue measures will be presented by his administration, but he said passage of the home rule bills "should be undertaken first."

The bedside cardio-care units, part of the intensive care equipment placed in operation in March, have been purchased in memory of Dr. Glenn Wright, Dr. Thomas Forrest and Russell Reimer. Dr. Wright and Dr. Forrest were long-time staff doctors. Reimer was a board member and board secretary for many years. Small name plates have been affixed to the units by Bert Hanson, hospital administrator, acknowledging the memorial gifts honoring these men. Money in the funds were given in their memory by friends to honor them in a permanent way. Since the installation of the intensive care equipment in Room 314, its value has been dramatized in several instances.

DEMONSTRATION TEAM FROM AREA TO STATE FAIR Jean Slater from the Busy Beavers 4-H club of Cary, and the team of Laurie Staveteig and Mary Boyer of the Lincoln Clover leaves in McHenry wi'-lrepresent McHenry county in the state demonstration contest at the State Fair. These two entries, along with the other demonstrations, recently entertained an audience at the annual McHenry County Demon strati cm contest. At the demonstration event, each participant learned that there is an art to presenting a good demonstration. This is very important because, in today's fast moving world, every person must learn to put words into "action". An effective demonstration is perhaps the best way of teaching someone how to do something. Poise, confidence and self-assurance will grow with each time the demonstration is given and with each new demonstration planned and presented. Those receiving "A" ratings were Stepehn Schultz, Algonquin; Mark Slater, Cary; Clyde Slater, Cary; Gary and Dale Steadman, Woodstock; John Molthen, Harvard; Roland Sarko, Marengo and Debra Wagner, Wauconda. Other participants were Larry Davis, Marengo; Carol Curran, McHenry; Edward Vogts, Woodstock; Jim "Gilman, Woodstock; Joleen Ziesk, Wauconda; Karen Wellner, Barrington; Pat Wellner, Barrington; Barbara Greenhill, Barrington; Kathie and Mary Kay Lindberg, Harvard; Debrah and Donald Lacy, Harvard.
