NEVER ESTIMATE A Continued from First Page intimately about me. They can never "Say what they really think, for I am a name and a person out of their past, and it is a past they have obviously tried to forget The name of this couple is Kelly, and this is- the only due I can give. They are my real parents and I am their son, Arthur Gordon Kelly, better known as Art Linkletter.

I have never them, nor have I had any contact With thepi since they deserted me 48 years ago, when I was-only a few week old. The Kellys Rave two others sons and a daughter my brothers and sisters and I have not met them nor heard from them either. I never really expected a friendly word frpm my parents. I would be aurprlsed ami-disconcerted 41 there was such word, because I am their nagging conscience. I am the child they put out of their lives.

The true story of my parentage has been my personal secret for. years. I am writing about it now because my experience may be of some comfort to an adopted child or to some young couple" caught In a tragic dilemma. Ufa began In Moose Jaw, In the Canadian province' of Saskatchewan, on July 17, 1932.. I have never known whether I was bom in a hospital or a private home, and I dont know the name of the doctor who delivered me.

I have never even seen a picture of my parents. I am struck with the curious fact that during my 26 years In show business there has been a dominant theme in my interviews with adults and children. Two questions I have asked over and over are: Where were you born?" and How did your parents meet?" If the tables were turned and some Interviewer asked me these same questions, I wouldnt have any clear answers at I only know that my father was a high school teaches who brought his sweetheart to Moose Jaw, where they were not known, and that they went back to their home town hi another part of Canada immediately after I was bom. They left me with the Childrens Aid Society. I do not intend to sit in Judgment on my parents, nor to question their right to reject me.

Perhaps my father would have lost his Job if anyonetad known why he had to leave home so suddenly and mysteriously. Perhaps neither of them was ready for marriage and parenthood. Im sure it doesnt matter Curiosity About Parents Never Dulled It is a painful subject to me because I have never quite stifled the resentment I felt when I accidently discovered, that the Kellys had put me out for adoption, only to go home and be married and have other cfTildrenThey want ADENAUER, TEXAS STYLE West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer smiles as he tips 10-gallon bat presented him by Vice President Lyndon B.

With the passing of the years, my curiosity about my parents has been dulled. But-every man has moments when, no matter how much he is loved, he Is lonely. During those moments I thought1 often about Mr. and Mrs. Kelly.

I imagined myself walking up to their house and toqch-ing the bell with shaking fingers. And they would open the door and their arms would be around me, and they would whisper: Son, welcome home, son. But In my heart I knew it would never happen, and It never has. Indeed, as time went on, my curiosity was distorted by rancor, as though there were a chip on my shoulder and I was taunting them to knock it off. CHESTERFIELD, ENGLAND (UPI) Stewart Wells, 24, dozed off while tinkering with his car.

Llnkletters Moved Often In Early Years Among the couples who wanted to adopt children from the society in Moose Jaw were John and Mary Linkletter, who, lt seems to me, would have been the last to qualify as prospective parents. John Linkletter, an insurance salesman, was then 51 years old, a tall, heavy man with graying hr. His right leg had been amputated after a boyhood accident, and he walked on a wooden leg with the support of a cane. My father and mother as Lwlll refer to them throughout this story had moved often during their early years together. They soon abandoned the insurance business in Moose Jaw and traveled across the continent to open a small variety store In Lowell, Massachusetts.

But my father had no business sense at all. At the end of two years, bankrupt and disillusioned, they migrated to Point Fermin, near San Pedro on the southern California coast. I was probably six or seven when we left San Pedro and moved to East San Diego. Father found a vacant store and opened a shoe repair shop, a trade he learned as a boy. Father Gets Call to Serve The Lord Just about the time I entered Central Grammar School inEast San Diego, father suddenly and dramatically gotji call to serve the Lord.

He had always been Intensely religious but when the message came he turned preacher in the hellfire and damnation style. His shoe repair business began to suffer. Every year, when spring came, he got restless tod would hit the sawdust trail. I have vivid recollections of standing on dusty sidewalks in many a small town, beaming a brass triangle to attract passers-by, and holding a collection plate. Dad lived each day according to the teachings of the Bible.

When customers came into his humble little dabbler shop, he not only fixed their shoes butj, he tried to repair, their souls as well. He often picked up straying Jambs on the street and would persuade them to come to the house. These strangers were mostly bums or drunks or ex-cons but I saw them as romantic adventurers from far-off worlds and I learned more from them than I did from other kids my age. There wasneVeF arman so callous that he could not be softened by my fathers generosity and hislove for humanity, to say nothing of his faith and belief that there would be better days.
