H. - This would the worst time to tell him. Mrs. G. A. - He would be greatly relieved to know the uuth. Mr. H. R. - My wife and I adopted a baby boy 9 years ago. We weren't impressed with the importance of telling him that faet, the way adopt ing parents are prepared to day. The ascney left it up to us. And somehow, we post poned it, awaiting the psycho logical moment. Then calamity struck. About the time Clyde was starting school, when we were about ready to break the news to him, my wife became ill. To our dismay, the diagnosis i was muscular dyftrophy. the nexv 10 years were a night mare to all of us. ending witli iny wife's death two years ago. Clyde is now in college, hoping to become a doctor some day. He's just about gelling over the loss of his mother. Cer tuinlv T fan'l snrinf this shock on him in the middle of I his studies. Mrs. G. A. - It's been agony for me to stay on the sideMncs all these years, watching my brother and his family suffer. J did what I could to relieve them, comfort them, help them, both financially and with small personal services. But I knew enough not to try to butt in where Clyde was concerned. Every happy brcalh they drew came from that wonderful boy. lie's an absolute prince. But now 1 must speak up. I'm urging, even nagging my brolhor to get the truth across lo Clyde immediately, regard less of consequences. I hap pen lo know that he turns down invitations to parlies at college, and seldom dales a girl. Why? Because he knows muscular dystrophy may be Inherited and he'd be afraid to fall in love and marry, in view of his family "history." Imagine how relieved he'd feel to know he's adopted. The Council: Whenever wc discuss adoption, we arc amazed at the wideyrcad re sponse. More people tha.. I he average reader suspects arc cither adopted, adopting, try ing to adopt, deciding lo adopt, or offering an unex pected (usually illegitimate) baby for adoption. It's almost as popular a topic as second marriage. Our basic advice, however, is always the same. Tell the truth. Tell it early. Tell it warmly, skillfully. If Ihe "telling" Just won't come, get help. Let the beautiful mes sage, and it IS a glorious tale, be conveyed by a clergyman, a doctor, a guidance coun selor. Above all, don't let it flutter in the family air, wait ing for just THIS right mo ment. As Mr. R. has found out, that moment may come and go unrecognized. A new "right" moment must be ar bitrarily set. The not-telling problem pre sented here Is poignant and unusual. But Clyde is a bright, well-adjusted young man. He won'l be easily derailed or grounded. Especially with his pre-med background, he may have Ihe scientific facts to help him understand Ihe psy chological reasons why he wasn't told long ago, and the medical reasons why he should feel relief at being told now. Though he is bound to his Inle mother by every filial tie. by devotion and gratitude and admiration, he is not ties of her flesh. Under the cir cumstances, this becomes a "break," for there is a heredi tary factor in the disease which afflicted her. Recently the newspapers blazoned an account ot a parly for a lti year-old girl, celeorating Ihe Iflth anniver sary of her adoption. The young lady knew nlioul it from age six. Hut now mil lions of readers know ii, as well as the ciiiiiuistaiues ol her hirlh.

On the contrary, it's inspiring proof of the happy-ending possibili ties, no mailer how sordid the beginnings, when kind, hu mane people take over.

Mich - iUPIi - Bloomfield Hills is a small, wealthy Detroit suburb of expensive modern homes. But its residents live behind drawn curtains. Al night, outside lights arc left burning unlil dawn. Bloomfield Hills is a city gripped in fear. A sniper who stalks the town by night has attacked three times, firing a 22 caliber gun through win dows of the private homes. Twice he had missed his i targets. The third time the shot to death Friday night as she brewed a pot of coffee in Ihe kitchen of her $40,000 split-level home. Police were without leads. The entire l'J-man force was on duly patrolling the snow covered, dimly lighted streets in search of the sniper. Looking for Teen-Ager They were looking for a teen-aged boy. Police Chief Norman Dehnkc said Ihcy be lieved a boy was responsible for the shootings because of the hour they occurred, early evening, and the fact the sniper traveled on fool. Dehnkc said he planned lo talk with two youths as soon as they reiurnea nom a skiing trip. Mrs. Godfrey, the attractive wife of a Baptist lay minister, had been watching television wilh her husband when they decided to have some coffee. She went into the kitchen, which fronted on the street, to prepare it and did not re turn. Her husband. Donald, 44, told officers he went lo look for her when she did not re turn and found her on the floor. At first, he said, he thought she had fallen and hurt herself.
