Had this accident happened halt a century ago -instead of three years ago -Denis Lapalme might have died, or at best been doomed. to a wheel chair for life. But today, because of Easter Seals and the Ontario Society for Crippled Children, which is cele- brating its. 50th atmi4ersary, Denis climbs trees., rides a bicy- cle, runs with his..clog, plays hock- ey, football and baseball and has been returned to the community as an active member. Denis is just one case. ,There • are .14,524 other crippled children across Ontario who need your help . and a similar promise of hope through your purchase of Easter Seals during the month of March. This year's goal -an all- time high one -is $1,627,500. It was a snowy day in Novem- ber, 1922, when a dozen men - some of them physicians and sur- geons and others representing 10 service clubs -met at the Prince Edward hotel in Windsor under. the auspices Of the, Rotary Club. After a long discussion the 12 men realized the tremendous number of uncared for cases of crippled children acro.ss the province . and were appalled.

They decided to employ some of the almost miraculous tech- niques of orthopedic surgery which was then developing rapid- ly. So they did something positive about it and formed the Ontario Society for Crippled Children. In the first year the .10 service clubs looked after 75 handicapped children. Today 230 service clubs are affiliated with the Society in the tiniest villages and largest cities of Ontario and wherever crippled children need clinics, braces, artificial limbs,. wheel chairs, summer camps, cerebral palsy clinics or transportation. As the number of children needing help continued to sky- rocket towards today's 14,524 1947. And now it's no secret. In the past decade, world leaders in the, treatment and rehabilitation of handicapped children have flocked in large numbers tOlhe Rumsey Rd. "Mecca," which is the Ontario- Crippled Children's Centre. They acknOwledge freely that the Ontario Society for Crip- pled Children's program of treat- ment and research there is one of the best in the world. In the beginning, the service clubs were the backbone of the infant Society. Today they are more involved than ever. Without .them the Society could not func- tion. As well as backing the Society with generous donations of time, skill and money the year- round, service club members begin well before Easter to organize their intensive Easter Seal mailing and publicity programs. family gathering, last Tuesday evening on the occasion of her father, Albert Vincent's birthday.
