MLDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OHtGON
Mr. H. 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. Yet it's not an cm-

Bloomfield Township. 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.

Two Earlier Incidents
The first sniping incident
occurred last Tuesday night,
and the second came about
24 hours later. The first shoot

and Mrs. Waller Hans, only
two blocks from the Godfrey
home. They were watching
television when the sliding
glass door that opened onto
their back yard broke. But
the shot failed to penetrate
the second thickness of glass.
