A9.'KEX, Editor and Business Manager A. L. COLQUI10Il1V, Plant Manager THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1952 The Red Cross Is There In Time Of Need A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK, a Godes rich Township farmer, Thomas Rathwell, was the victim of an unfortunate accident in which he was shot in mistake for a deer while about his peaceful pursuits of cutting going in company with his brother, on his own farm woodlot. He was rushed to Clinton Public Hospital, and lingered between life and death for several days. In the meantime, blood plasma was rushed from Stratford --in quantities enough to tide him over the critical days and ultimately save his life. It was a wonderful demonstration of the power of an organized effort on the part of the Red Cros to save human life. It is significant that more than a quarter of million Canadians have received free blood or plasma transfusions through the Canadian Red Cross free national Blood Transfusion. Ser- vice, Vernon C. Hale, national. chairman of the Blood Donor committee, announced on .the eve of the Society's annual national appeal for $5,222,000. "In cold dollars and cents our service bas saved Canadians, in the former cost of medical scare alone, a sum far greater than the total amount we are campaigning for to cover all Red Cross services this year", the chairman declared. "But it is in the contribution to suffering humanity and in the saving of human lives that our real progress can be Measured," A total of 282,136 patients in Canada have received from transfusions since the start of the service in, 1947, and a total of 648,790 bottles have been donated by the public in the same period, In addition to the civilian. service, the gov- ernment has made Red Cross the sole agency for the procurement of blood and blood pro= ducts, including plastlia, for the fighting men of Canada at home and abroad, More than 6,000 bottles of plasma already have been de- livered to the Department of National Defence under this agreement. The local campaign, in Clinton and dist- rict, gets underway next week, and a house- to-house canvass will be made in Clinton .pn Tuesday -Wednesday -Thursday, March 1849-20, The campaign committee consists of A. J. Mc- Murray, chairman; G. H. Jefferson, J. Q. Mc - Lay and W, H, Robinson, We doubt if there is anyone in the corn- • munity who would not agree with the slogan ' of the Red Cross: "Help us to help others; everybody needs the Red Cross!" 'it is a cam- paign well worthy of, the support of the citizens of Clinton and community, We Should Be•Proud... (A CWNA Editorial) CANADIANS, AS A PEOPLE, are tinged materials needed for the defence of the west. with an over -abundance of humility, modesty or plain inferiority complex when they con- sider their own achievements. They tend to apologize for conditions and developments here and to regard accomplish- ments in Britain and the United States as some - thing beyond the capabilities of this, nation. Too often they take the attitude that nothing good can come out of Canada. Humility is doubtless good in its place;\ but so is pride, and Canadians have much of which they should be proud, While still retaining the right .of construc- tive criticism, Canadians should be proud of their democratic government which, in a world tending to extremes, has trod a middle of the road path. They should be proud of the free- dom that is theirs, of the rights and privileges that have • been handed down in trust from previous generations, They should be proud of their place (a prominent one) in the British Commonwealth under the sovereignty of their Liege Lady, Queen Elizabeth IL Canadians are living in an expansionist age, a period in the nation's history when great developments are taking place in the country. Canada, for instance, produces half of the world's supply of newsprint, the second largest export wheat crop, 90 per cent of the free world's supply of nickel and' an important part of the zinc, copper, aluminum and other Vast devolepments are under way in oil, iron, uranium, industry, electrical power. Last year Canadians invested some 22 per cent of their . national income in new developments. Foreign capital is flowing into the country and more and more Canadian capital is being utilized to develop the natural resources and industry of the nation. Canadians may well be proud, too, of awak- ened interest in the arts. Across the land music festivals, drama festivals, art exhibits, ballet festivals, show that this new nation is not neg- lecting the finer things of life. More and more Canadians are aware of the fact that "culture" isnot something for highbrows but be a s h gmay en- joyed by everyone. Good music, via the radio and performances of symphonies, choirs and soloists, is becoming part of the daily living of millions of Canadians, Canadians are writing books, plays and poetry, are painting and com- posing as never before, The second half of the twentieth century belongs to Canada. As Churchill said just recently in Ottawa, "Upon the whole surface of the globe, there is no more spacious and splendid domain than Canada open to the activity and genius of free men." Let us then be proud of what our nation of 14 million souls has accomplished, •-is accomplishing and Will accomplish. We should be proud of Canada. Quick Canadian Facts . from Quick Canadian Facts 1.

Armstrong Resigns From 'Phone System Matthew Armstrong, 87, who has been a commissioner of the McKillop Mutual Telephone Sys- tem for 25 years, resigned at the system's annual meeting. The first year he was a commission- er, the system had a $700 debent- ure debt, but during the past 25 years it has gradually erased this debt and built up a $12,000 surplus. Gordon McGavin acted as chair, man of the meeting, and Wilson Little was secretary. J. M. Eckert is secretary -treasurer of the sys- tem. • Commissioners elected were Allan Campbell, three-year term; and Ross McGregor, two-year term. •Gordon McGavin was the retiring commissioner. THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE It is a hopeful sign when cer- tain business .organizations ask prospective employees --"Do you use alcoholic beverages?" If the answer' is in the affirmative the job will remain open. Even a well - known brewery - magnate makes this regulation mandatory for certain positions. It would be well for ambitious young people to have in mind this leading question—"Do you drink?" Their answer will either open or close doors of opportunity before them. —Advt.

"Timmy" 1952 is Fatted Atkinson, Wood- stock, shown here with his mother, Mrs. Edward Atkinson. Frederick Atkinson, 12, of 595 MaryStreet, x et, Woodstock, has been named the province's "Timmy" or Easter Seal Child for 1952, by of- ficials of the Ontario Society for Crippled Children. The clean-cut, handsome youth was chosen as typical of Ontario's crippled children who are receiv- ing services from the Society, financed through Easter `Seal funds. His dramatic story of fighting a winning battle against a crippling disease for more than 12 years illustrates what Easter Seal services actually do to help cripple'd children become healthy, useful adults, When he was born, Fred was a weak, anemic baby with no con- trol over his lower limbs. Some doctors despaired of his life and others said he would never be able to walk. Diagnosis by specialists reveal- ed that Fred had "spina bifida", a condition in which a segment of the spine is missing and all muscles from the waist down are paralysed. Fortunately for Fred and his parents, the Rotary Club of Wood- stock and the Ontario Society for Crippled Children discovered their son, made him their protege and saw that he had the care of doctors, therapists and teachers. At the age of seven months he was sent to one of the Society's clinics in London where a tum- or, which had formed on his spine, was removed. . At seven years of age he seat :again sent to a clinic, this time an ortho- pedic one in Toronto, where he was outfitted with special braced and crutches. Fred's treatments are still con- tinuing after 12 years but today, with the help of leg braces and crutches, he "walks" alone and is thinking of joining his five-year- old sister, Judy, and his father and -mother in the Woodstock Easter parade. Fred goes to Grade V in North - dale Public School and is as happy as any other 12 -year-old there. He plays shinny with the other kids on Mary Street, hikes downtown to the Saturday mat- inees, goes for guitar lessons and in the summer plays baseball and golf. His hobbies are building model boats in their basement workshop with his Dad, a feed mill employee, and painting in water, colors. Some day ,he hopes to study medicine. "I've always tried to make Fred feel there's nothing other boys 12 years old do that he can't do," said Mrs, Atkinson. "So far I've seen nothing he actually misses out on. Our house has been so happy since Fred really started to `walk'." The 1952 Easter Seal campaign will extend from March 13 to Easter Sunday, during which time the Ontario Society for Crippled Children expects to reach its quota of $400,000. There are 4,700 crippled children under care in Ontario. Your Easter Seal contribution will make pos- sible services which help them walk, talk and live like other children. Locally, the campaign is being conducted by Clinton Lions Club under the chairmanship of Dr. J. A. Addison.
