Clinics
Diagnostic and consultant clinics are held annually
on request in remote areas of the province which would
not normally be presented with an opportunity ,to have
children seen by medical specialists of. the clinic team.
More than 2,100 children are examined annually.
Service Club Participation
Service Clubs such as the Seaferth Lions Club who
participate in the Easter Seal campaign are responsible
for administrating Easter Seal funds for, the benefit of
needy crippled children . in their community. This
allows individual members to develop a personal interest
in the youngsters that can be achieved only on a volun-
tary basis.
The Ontario Society for Crippled Children was
organized in 1922, by a small group of Rotary Clubs,
to assist 75 crippled children. Today 230 Service
Clubs are assisting more than 14,500 physically dis-
abled youngsters in Ontario.
The original and continuing purpose of the Society
is to provide and assist in the care, treatment and a
rehabilitation program' for physically handicapped
children in need.
This work is financed primarily by funds received
from the annual Easter Seal Campaign, held annually
since 1947,

11Ar
According to committee
chairman E. S. Campbell, some
2500 envelopes have been mailed
to residents of Seaforth and sick-
rounding area.
This year the local objective
is $2,000, Mr. Campbell said.
To reach this the co-operation of
the entire Community will be
mecessarY.
Almost since its founding
more than forty years ago crip-
pled children's work has been one
of the main projects of the
Seaforth Lions Club and 4 is
only through the sale of Easter
Seals that members are able to
assist locally any crippled child
who needs special braces or
other assistance, in order' that
they may live a happier and more
useful life.
The committee in charge of
this year's drive has asked that
anyone receiving Easter Seals
who does not care to send in a
donation, to please hand or send
the seals to a friend or neighbor.
Please do not return the seals
to the club, since this results in
an unnecessary expense in rede-
eming them from the Post Office.
While some .envelopes con-
taining cheques or cash have
been received, it is anticipated
that a much better response will
be made during the next few days.
If the campaign is tO be a
success - and it must be a.
success, Mr. Campbell said -
a great many more contributions
are required. Between now and

.youngsters.,,,
The 'balance of the funds are
used by the Ontario Society for
Crippled Children to supply such
province-wide services as nur-

A saintly-looking old fellow
was running to catch his bus.,
Just as , he appeared to be win-

with a fiendish smirk, 'pulled
away from the curb and the
wheels splashed muddy water
over the old man.
Softly, the• old gentleman
