CHOSEN AS POSTER BOY IN EASTER SEAL CAMPAIGN
— There’s a seven-year-old boy in Welland, Ontario, who is
paralyzed from the waist down and will be for the rest of
his life. But despite his handicap, which doctors say is caused
by a gap in his spine the size of a five-cent piece, Dennis
Gibbons, seen right with younger brother Conrad, is a very
happy boy. For he has been chosen as “Timmy”—to sym
bolize 1951 Easter Seal campaign of the. Ontario ‘Society for
Crippled Children—this year running from February 2 5 to
March 25 with an all-time high objective of $375,000. The
plucky young son of a veteran paratrooper and former Tim
mins diamond driller has 100,000,000 Easter Seals for sale
in an attempt to help finance 75 per cent of the work car
ried out among 4,600 crippled children in Ontario. —C’.P.C.
Two Frisky Kids Advertisement
For Easter Seals Campaign
There are two .frisky kids in
Guelph—both of them three
years old—who are literally
walking advertisements for the
success of orthopaedic treat
ments if undertaken at an early
age.
They’re advertisements, too,
for the good work that the On
tario Society for Crippled Child
ren and its affiliated service
clubs have been doing for handi
capped youngsters—and which
they can continue through an
enthusiastic response to the
Easter Seal Campaign, Feb. 25
to March 25.
For both Nancy G. and Larry
D. were born with malforma
tions—the little girl with a con
genital hip dislocation and the
boy with a club foot.
An today they're not only
walking normally, but the fact
is they both now are perfectly
normal.
Both children were less than
two years old when the society,
in conjunction with a Guelph
service club, arranged for them
to receive treatment at the Hos
pital for Sick Children.
Nancy was the first one to go
to hospital. She started her
treatments in June, 1949, when
doctors stretched her leg side
ways until it was flush with her
hip, and they put her in a plast
er cast.
And as treatments continued,
gradually the. angle was reduc
ed and the leg was lowered a
bit with each new plaster, until
finally it was in the proper posi-
tion.Now, after several readjust
ments of the cast, she no longer
has to wear one at all.
Larry went to hospital in
March, 1950, lor his first treat
ment. After he had made several
trips back to hospital for adjust
ments, a- nurse visiting his home
a month ago reported the lad
was “walking well with his foot
in the proper position.”
The two cases, according to a
spokesman for the society, point
up the supreme importance of
early treatment. “These mal
formations must be treated early,
when a child’s bones are still
soft,” he said. “If treatment is
postponed until he has become
adolescent or an adult, it is
often impossible to correct the
condition fully.”
—but here it is,
Some report
sent home this
many cases they
held until after
recent flu epidemic has prevent
ed many students from trying
the tests. We hope there won’t
be too many cases such as this
because it does seem a shame to
prolong the agony—or to post
pone the rejoicing. Grandpa’s
idea of “Spare the rod and spoil
the report card” may have held
a grain of wisdom after all, and
it would seem as if Junior’s only
excuse now might be—“Sorry,
Dad—but I did miss so much
time wfi.li the flue. Give me an
other chance for a better final
report in June”.
Contributions to the March of
Dimes are being brought in this
week. Room 8 has already con
tributed twelve dollars, earned
at the Valentine box social. The
fund is certainly a worthy one
and the children are meeting it
with an enthusiastic response.
Congratulations are in order
for Billy Pollen who did a com
mendable job of modelling at
the local fashion show. We
might add that he did equally
well in keeping the Sorority’s
plans *■ for him a secret.
