Don't look
how different
he is from
your son. But
how alike
he is.
He's mentally retarded. But he
has the same interests the same
wants and needs that any boy
does.
There are 6 million mentally re-
tarded citizens in America. 6 mil-
lion sons and daughters who
want to go to public schools,
who want to work and want to
live useful, happy lives. It's up to
us to make sure they get those
opportunities.
So, please, help us. You'll be
helping 6 million Americans who
desperately need you.

more important, though, hav-
ing said that, I suppose deep
down I hope one day to meet
a Jewish woman who feels as
I do, and if I don't, then
chances are I will form a rela-
tionship with a non-Jewish
woman."
The non-profit-making
Jewish Marriage Council in
London doesn't necessarily
see itself as the salvation for
unattached people, but as its
director says, there is a
definite cry for help from
people of all ages who are
seeking friendship. They try
to match couples, and their
overall aim is to keep people
within the boundaries of their
faith, whether Orthodox or
not. He says he would like to
see more communally struc-
tured programs, perhaps with
weekend activities geared to
the different groups. He sees
a great need to develop
preventive work by Jewish
organizations to lure people
away from assimilation. His
experience shows that there
are a lot of lonely people who
need a warm and welcoming
environment within the
community.
Professionals of both sexes
in the higher income bracket,
lawyers, doctors, accountants,
find it something of a stigma
to seek partners through
anonymous organizations and
though on the whole they
would prefer to find partners
themselves, and would like
them to be Jewish, they are
all too often tempted to out-
side venues: bars, hotels,
clubs, where the pickings are
likely to be somewhat more
diverse, and where they can
socialize with people of other
faiths and colors.
With its legacy of Victori-
anism, prudery and smug-
ness, Britain, the Jewish
establishment included, has
tended to lag behind other
countries in coping with the
singles problem. lbday, how-
ever, there is a greater
awareness of the need to en-
courage positive action and
not to disparage, nor to jeer
at, a large section of society
striving for happiness and
fulfillment. And while it may
be fortuitous whether or not
Mr. Right meets Ms. Right,
there's much more likelihood
of their doing so in a caring
and compassionate society. ❑
