Ontario's Crippled Children
The engineer watched horrified
from the cab while his heavy
diesel locomotive, unable to stop
in tune, rolled over an 8 -year-old
boy on the tracks near Timmins
and severed. both his legs below
the knees.
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 realized, too, the special
skills sorne.of them had acquired
during World War I in dealing
case load, service club Mein*,
such as Kinsmen, Lions, Kiwants,
Rotary, Richelieu and ()theft,
have raised through the sale ,01

with severe battle casualties.
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.
