(Anne Narejko photo) Lions back Easter Sears On October 30, Mr. Steve Fraser, Chair- man of the Easter Seal and Childrens' Com- mittee for the Lions Club of Clinton, met with other regional service club represen- tatives at the annual Easter Seal District Meeting held in Exeter. Key issues discussed by the delegates dealt with improving services provided for physically disabled children as well as preparation for the 1985 Easter Seal Cam- paign being held next March. Since the Easter Seal Society was first formed in 1922, affiliated service clubs have spearheaded local fund raising appeals and administered Easter Seal funds on behalf of children and families in their respective communities. Each year, more than 6,500 children benefit from the provision of vital equip- ment and servicbs such as wheelchairs, braces, artificial limbs, home renovations, communications aids, a camping adventure at one of five society owned campsites in On- tario, transportation to treatment centres, expensive research programs and much, much more. "The courage and determination of physically disabled children is anin- spiration to all of us", said Mr. Fraser. "All they need is a little more understanding and support to progress in life. I know the people of ' Clinton and surrounding area will con- tinue.to show they care by backing these youngfighters through Easter Seals."

"The competition has been renamed 'Food Fit' (former'ly 'Eat Sensibly' )," Health Minister Keith Norton announced, "and, with additional regional prizes, the schools' chances of winning are improved. We expect more schools to enter: "The purpose of the competition, now in its sixth year, is to help encourage students directly – and the community indirectly – to become more aware of good nutritional practices, as well as' to increase the availability of nutritious foods in schools," Mr. Norton added. With the additional prizes, schools in the ministry's five provincial health planning regions have the potential of winning a total of $10,000 in first prizes, including, in each region, a $1,000 first prize for the best newly initiated project and $1,000 for the best ongo- ing project. There are also second and third prizes for each region. Schools will also compete provincially for two grand prizes of $1,000 each for the best ongoingand newly initiated projects. Entries will be judged and prizes awarded in each region, with regional judging ` com- mittees consisting of representatives of the local board of health, including a public health nutritionist, and a representative of the local board of education. Grand prize winners will be selectedby a provincial iudging committee, consisting of a nutritionist from the ministry, a represfjn- tative of the ministry's Health Promotion and Information Branch and a represen- tative of the Ministry of Education. Among contest materials now being distributed are announcements to local boards of health, school boards and boards of education, letters to school principals and. students' cbuncils, posters promoting the contest, and a contest guide book providing entry rules, forms, judging information and project ideas and examples. Students should take the lead in develop- ing projects, which could involve the sup- port of the school's principal, teachers, cafeteria staff, students' council, athletic associations, , drama clubs and family studies, sciences and art classes. Within the community, support could be sought from families, neighbors, senior citizens, 4 businesses, service clubs, media and the local board of health. "In previous years, schools have demonstrated expertise andstaged com- prehensive programs. Again this year, schools will be challenged to learn more about healthy eating habits and to be in- novative in their projects," Mr. Norton said.
