Gowdy, Reeve Three Camps for Crippled Children To one group of children in Ont- ario, camp life every summer means more than use'. It means a chance to do the things that other youngsters do, to live in the sun and play games, despite the handicaps of crippled limbs or twisted backs. And in the 3 camps operated by the Ontario Soc- iety for Crippled Children, this sum- mer 900 children, who would be unable to attend camps that lack special equipment, housing, nurses and in. srtuetors, will gather once again. Mak- ing this possible will be the annual Easter Seal Campaign from March 5th to April 6th, The objective is $475- 000. Mosteimportant, perhaps, in the eyes of the doctors who watch. over the welfare of these children is the psy- chological progress made during their camp holidays. For instance, Amy re- fused to talk at first, spurned the friendly' advances of other children, refused to smile for kindly nurses, Then one morning she sat in her wheelchair and Watched as Tommy, a spastic paralytic, painfully end almost grotesquely hobbled past her, She turned suddenly to a nurse and said, "Oh, I'd hate to be like Tommy." From that moment, Amy was sunny, happy an eager participant in every camp activity. She seemed to cohsider Elizabeth, another camper, a resonal responsibility. Elizabeth had been babied at home and expected to be at- tended hand and foot every hour of the day. Amy joked, teased Elizabeth. insisted oh the latter learning to pick up her own books, wheel her own ! chair to the table, and so on.
