Ontario Society for Crippled Children and their nurses. At the present mom- ent, there are eight nurses who are at- tempting to cover the task that can only efficiently be done by fourteen. For this reason, the Society's annual. Easter Seal. Appeal, March 1st,, to 28th, will stress the need for more nursing staff to reach all crippled children. Last year's appeal assisted materially in raising the staff from four to the pres- ent number of field workers. These nurses are the spearhead of the Society's attack to eliminate crip- ping conditions. Since founded in 1922, it has worked in close collaboration with service organiatizons like the Ki- wanis, Lions, Kinsmen, Rotary and Shriners and others to aid crippled children regain a normal life. Every day they discover new cases, especially in isolated areas, wbich if discovered sooner and brought to medical aid would today be useful citizens instead of helpless victims of circumstances. Last year, about one hundred and eighty service clubs reported over 2,800 cases to the Society having to do with polio, tuberculosis, rickets, congenital and accidental crippling. The sale of Easter Seals for this district is sponsored by the Wingham Lions Club. These seals will soon be in the mail and it is hoped that your response will be generous. Donations may be mailed to G. L. Dunlop, Chair- man Children's Welfare Comtnittee, Wingham.

The Peace Time Programme of the Red Cross while not as extensive during war time requires three million dollars in Canada. One million two hundred thousand to be raised in Ont- ario. Since the war 1914-18 Ontario has given leadership in Red Cross act- ivity and consequently fifty per cent of all Red Cross work in Canada is carried on in this province. Success of the 1948 campaign will provide essential funds for the con- tinued operation of 27 outpost hospitals in Ontario; and for other activities such as Nutrition, First Aid, Swim- ming and Water Safety and Aid to Veterans. Due to the continuance of the Wingham Red Cross unit everyone in and around this community benefits from the National Organization, Head- quarters allows the local unit one half of the campaign funds raised. Because of this fact last year there was es- tablished at the Wingham General Hospital, a "Loan Cupboard" from Cars collide Head On At= McKenzie Bridge BARN MOUNTING Saturday evening about 10.40 an ac- cident occurred at the McKenzie bridge, here, when two cars collided head on, The cars were driven by George McKinnon, of R. R. No. 3, Teeswater, and William Schiestel, Teeswater. The McKinnon car had four pas- sengers and at the time no one was considered injured, later on arriving home, Miss Winnifred Donaldson, of R. R. 3, Teeswater, lapsed into un- consciousness and was brought to the Wingham General Hospital by Dr. Gillies of Teeswater about 1.30 Sun- day, On examination it was found she was suffering from a severe concus- sion. Tuesday afternoon we were in- formed that her condition is much im- proved. $1,600 Still Needed To Fay Off Indebtedness • - Two weeks ago a drive was started to clear off the indebtedness on the Community Shed. When the work was commenced last year a canvas was made and $1,947.00 was collected, when the building was completed it was found that 'the cast had greatly ex- ceeded the estimate and a balance of $2,620.59 was still needed, During the ,past two weeks a little over $1,000.00 has been received, leav- ing an additional antount of approxi- mately c$1600.00 yet required. This is definitely a, civic improve- ment and fills a long felt needif every- one does his share this debt will easily be cleared off. Many farmers of the district have already shown their ap- preciation for free stabling and have contributed.

In addition to the resolution support- ,ing the Minister of Highways' Safety Program, there was one other resolu u - thin recording the convention's nan- imous disapproval isf present restrie- tions in Toronto, Hamilton, Brantford and Windsor on the hours of sale of gasoline. Reviewing some of the municipal road problems, Mr. Doucett revealed that approved municipal road expenditures for 1047 were $30,698,983.48. Of the entire amount $15:700,000 was subsidy from the Provincial Highways Depart- ment. Comparing this -with the sub- sidy of only $8,600,000 six years ago, the Minister cautioned that this is about as far as the. Department is pre- pared to go at this time. The Ontario iGovermnent, lie said, was anxious to avoid additional taxa- tion whenever possible. As an illustra- tion of this, he referred -to the Unsat- isfied Judgement Fund, designated to give p rotection to those victims of traffic accidents who could not collect damages front the irresponsible per- t sons who caused 'the accidents, As the . claims against the feed were not heavy - it was decided the Government could well carry the fund for the present , without imposing the proposed $1 levy on every driver's license.
