A MOST WORTHY CAUSE
Lucknow : and, District' Lions Club
have this year 'undertaken thea promotion
of the Easter Seal campaign; in this com-
munity., - By so doing they have become
one, of 2 26 service clubs in ' Ontario dedi-
cated to nothing short 'of the unconditional
surrender of disease and • deformities that
prevent *little :children from running and
playing with their brothers 'and sisters
a\ veritable army which rallies every ' pring
for their annual assault:
The weapon they unleash onthe
general public is the Easter.'Seal -- a sym
bal. • of, hope 'and opportunity provided by
the Ontario Society for Crippled Children:
Everyone will have now received their
Easter Seals, and this year a target .of
$875,000' in " voluntary contributionsmust
be realized or some ' of the more ' than
15,000 handicapped kiddies, across the
province of . Ontario will . be " neglected:.
More progress in the care and . 'treat-
nient' of the crippled .child has been inade
in the. past .twenty-five years than during
the ; whole previous.. •history . of man -kind.
Everyone is asked to help ..the members of
the service clubs to keep this vital . prog-
ranine 'in operation until: every crippled
child . in, Ontario.' has the opportunity of a
happier life and the chance to .achieve in
dependence,. That way they, will groW' to
assume their rightful '.place, in Society as a
self sustaining ;,and contributing citizen =- '.
